Politics & Government - 16 July 2007

With more and more people expecting the Government to take care of them, and people yelling about the government this and that, what happened to people working for their riches? And why if you do become rich, people have to get a cut? Why do we rely so much on others to take care of us?

100 years ago the government didn’t tax it’s citizens to fund social security retirement, welfare, unemployment compensation, medicare, medicade, or universal health coverage. And at the time our nation was the most prosperous in the world, had ZERO national debt, the largest middle class in the world, and we weren’t hated by the rest of the world for sticking our nose where it didn’t belong.

So why did all this change? When did Americans decide that it’s better to pay 46 new taxes in the form of TRILLIONS of dollars in order for the government to take better care of us and create more dependency INSTEAD OF taking advantage of the freedom we have to better our own lives? Are we THAT lazy that we can’t take care of ourselves anymore?

have ACTUALLY LISTENED to the program? And I don't mean for like 5 minutes.

Liberals are supposed to be so tolerant, but they are constantly saying they hate Rush's guts and they wish he would die and such, and other really hate-filled things.

I don't agree with things that Alan Combs says but I don't hate him or think he should not be allowed to speak on his beliefs.

I have a simple question. My lawyer sent my landlord a demand letter stating that i was injured on his property and due to his negligence. Something that was left hazardous to the tenants for over 7months. But any way, the same day he got the demand letter. He came knocking on my door, and my mom answered and he said to my mom that "he got the letter and that he had went to his attorney and his attorney stated that he could lose everything because of this one incident." Than he said " tell your son just don't sue me for a million dollars because i will lose everything." Should I tell my lawyers about the encounter and what he said to my mom or no? Also why?

Seems many conservatives on yahoo are constantly making a claim that military is 80, 90, 99 percent Republican/conservative....

However,

THERE ARE NO POLLS OR STATISTICS COMPILED BY THE GOVERNMENT OR ANY THIRD PARTY THAT WILL OFFICIALLY SHOW WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE MILITARY IS REPUBLICAN vs. DEMOCRAT vs. INDEPENDANT. !

FACT: THE LAW PREVENTS IT, IT'S CALLED RIGHT TO PRIVACY !...the same right to privacy any citizen is entitled to.

I constantly see people making that claim,.....and I challenge anyone to provide me with official non-partisan poll results.

I've looked...and it doesn't exist !

The only person who attempted this was back in 2000, a writer named Woodruff who worked for military times magazine...his results are not valid because he had over 2 thirds of his poll participants from FL and TEXAS, and they were only participants who "planned" on enlisting in the military...they weren't officially in the military and none of them were deployed.

Tolerance or intolerance can come from anywhere, but I'll bet many conservatives today wouyld call me the N-word if this were fifty years ago and I was black.

Also, liberal doesnt equal pro-abortion, it equal anti-prohibition, hence the intellectual dishonesty from the dying NeoCon front.

Does tolerant mean being a doormat? No.

Many Dems point the finger of blame at Bush for not finding Bin Laden. They do not accept the fact that some war criminals are never caught or are caught many years later. Witness the Nazis who have been discovered only in the past 20 years. So, I ask, will a Dem President be able to wave a magic want and produce Bin Laden (if he is alive)? How would you Bush critics propose that it be done?

I have been thinking of joining the a military for a while. I've heard by alot of people that in the navy you could be out at sea on a ship for at least 6 months. But i was also told by a couple that it depends on what your job is. I have been wanting to do something in the arts (like animation or design) or with animals, so would i be out at sea for 6 months if I did something like that? My girlfriend and i are planning on getting married before i begin basics and dont like the idea that much of me having to leave my girlfriend/future bride for 6 months.

I was driving and my licensed is suspended (wrong I know), however my tag is completely legal, but a policeman was behind me and randomly ran my tag, now I did nothing wrong for him to run my tag, he says he was justing randomly running it. Doesn't he have to have a reason to do so? Can he just pick someone out of the crowd and run their tags and pull them over without provocation?

I would like to know why alot of people when asked about China do not approve of their politics, humanitarian rights, public health etc? Im not Chinese myself but I have visited the country over 8 times and I can not find one thing wrong with it, infact the country impresses me. I mean after being invaded continuesly by Japan and after undergoing cival wars etc, they have got back on their feet very fast and are now the second richest country in the world with 10 trillion total GDP. I know some people dont like the Chinese government because it is Socialist but to be honest the whole socialist aspect in China is taken very lightly compared to the Former USSR for example. Its basically like a Capitalist Republic with Sociallist ideas that most Chinese people do not have a problem with. I could not imagine China, being such a huge country in many ways be NOT socialist. I love the country and I enjoy going there whenever I can.

This involves my mother, 87 years. She was making a left turn and got into the left turn lane too early. An oncoming car blew his horn; my mother realized her mistake, moved into the lane on her right, then made her left turn correctly. Unbeknownst to my mother, the “oncoming car” followed her to her destination (a friend’s house). About two minutes later, a police officer came to the house and gave my mother a ticket for reckless driving. The officer said the driver of the “oncoming car,” who said he is a doctor, insisted that the officer issue the ticket to my mother. She has a court date on Aug. 8.

One, can a citizen insist that a police officer issue a ticket when the police officer wasn’t present at the scene of the “violation?”

Two, should my mother hire a lawyer?

Three, I’m urging my mother to plead “not guilty.” Is this the right thing to do? She’s not a reckless driver. She made a mistake (probably because it was a new route for her as her regular route was under construction).

Four, my mother has a 100% clean driving record. No tickets, no accidents. Is she in danger of losing her license?
