Politics & Government - 19 July 2007

Source: Observed a decal on his vehicle (I support the war/troops) He had two adult children with him. ( About 18 to 20 Yrs) I stated "Thank You" for supporting the war". He shook my hand. I told him I'm a Veteran from 1969. He smiled. Then I said "I want you to send you children to Iraq and make President Bush happy". His smile turned to a sour look like he was eating a fresh lemon. He said "I am a proud Republican and I support the war as long as other young men serve in the war. My children are going to college. My children have too much going for them". With that he looked at me with disgust and walked away. A true Republican?

I don't care if you are Republican or Democrat. I don't think we should have went in the first place(my own opinion) & everybody is entitled to their own. I realize we can't leave now because it would cause awhole bunch of turmoil & such. I also believe that we will still be there in the middle of that Civil War way after the guy in the White House who is not doing a great job of being president with a lower approval rating than Nixon during Watergate scandal was going on is out of office. Both sides(DEMS & REP) have to come up with an alternative solution to getting our troops out of IRAQ.

It would be easier to prevent identity theft if Social Security cards had thumb prints and photo IDs on them (and laminated, too). Someone from the Social Security office would then be able to tell an identity thief from the real person.

If an identity thief got ahold of a regular SS card, he/she can do anything with that number on the card.

So why aren't SS cards treated like driver's licenses and IDs?

Hello. My wife and I hired a Roofing Contractor (that is a local) for our roof because it began to leak. This was about almost two years ago. He said he could fix the leak and proceeded to "restamp our seals" (we have a standing seam roof), recoat the metal, and apply new rubber roof to another section he thought the leak was coming from.

After he did this the roof still leaked. After MANY times getting him back to our home, (and two years later), the roof still leaks from the same area!

So, my wife and I don't know what else to do at this point other than take him to small claims court for our money back.

Can I get some advice on how to proceed with this (or is there something else we can do that is better)???

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! We live in Ohio. We have the original contract from the roofer, and recorded all the events of our wrangling to get this leak fixed.

"A defense select committee paints a sorry picture,- "The language of the report is careful, measured. But there is no mistaking the central message - things are going badly, alarmingly wrong in Afghanistan."

- muddled strategy, shirking allies, a lack of helicopters and, stuck in the middle, the servicemen and women who have to make the whole thing work."

Here's the deal. My husband's ex-wife lives in Missouri and we live in North Carolina. She wants the oldes child who's 9 to come live with us, but she wants to maintain primary guardianship. She can't do this right? If he lives with us full tiime we become his primary guardians. It's very importnant b/c my husband is military and when he is deployed I need to have decision making power for his wellbeing in medical situations. So in ther words she just wants to send him to live with us w/o legally changing his place of residence. Is there anyway possible to tackle this w/o a lawyer. And if we have to have a lawyer do we get one here or there? So confused and frustrated...please help.

Well one of the top tier candidates in the Democratic Party does attend a church that 'claims' to be Christian , yet is biased only for the advancement of black people .

How does that make you feel ? Doesn't that in fact mean that that particular church and it's followers are not Christian at all ?
I'm intentionally not naming the candidate(although many of you know who I'm talkin about) in the hopes that you simply answer the question as it is. . . without bias or defense .

Real Simple Folks. . . . Would You Support A Presidential Candidate Who's Church Is Racially Biased ?

So I've got an hour commute and I have to think about something.

Has anyone else noticed that when either of the parties "claims" an issue, it immediately becomes a pariah to the other?

It's like you can't worry about the environment if you're a conservative Republican. You can't worry about the degradation of the family, high divorce rates, other "moral" issues if you're a liberal Democrat.

I've begun to think this is why nothing ever gets done to "fix" Social Security...neither party wants its opponent in the White House or control of the legislative branch to go down in history for doing so.

My grandmother had a dog, a golden retriever, and as a little boy, I loved that dog. But like all little kids growing up, you soon learn of love and loss.

So how long do police dogs work, and do they get a good retirement plan...(they deserve it you know! :-D )

I know that it is illegal to impersonate a military officer, and I've never been in the military. My step father gave me all of his old Army uniforms, and I could make good use of some of the jackets. I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't get into any trouble for wearing them in public.

I have someone giving out personal information(not social security # or any of that) that I do not want a public forum to know about? He has been calling people from my town, and have been asking them if they know personal things about me, and if they would care to share it, so he can post it on a public forum. He isn't releasing things that I've done that is illegal, but personal things like what I do on my spare time, what car I drive, and all that crap. I do not want this person to release this to the public, and he continues to do it. Is there any way I can put a lawsuit against this person?

Look at the Republican lemmings acting as if the untrue story that Hillary Clinton "stole" something from the White House is
true. What fools they make of themselves. Why do they not care about actuality?

How SMOKING HOT is this Bush ECONOMY?

Since August 2003, more than 8.2 million jobs have been created, with more than 2 million jobs created over the twelve months ending in June. Our economy has now added jobs for 46 straight months, and the unemployment rate remains VERY low at 4.5 percent.

... with the fact that so many people here confuse the US Constitution with the Declaration of Indepedence?

Every friggin day, I read some annoyingly contemplative post about the US Constitution, containing a statement to the effect that "CERTAIN INALIANABLE RIGHTS ... LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS" is a quote from the US Constitution. It's the Declaration of Independence, for crying out loud! The Declaration of Independence!! A different document, which, unlike the Constitution, has no force of law! (Though that's besides the point.)

Moreover, whenever I mention the simple fact that this language is from the Declaration of Independence and not from the Constitution, I get thumbed down like there is no tomorrow. What do people think -- that by force of public opinion, we can merge one into the other? Can we take a vote on whether the Earth is flat?

I am so mad, I can't even describe it. This is third-grade civics. Why are people so muscle-headed?? Why??

Why people are saying this I dont know but I have theories..

1) Scared of a Black president so they say or write just about anything to stomp him down when they see he's doing MUCH better than expected

2) There too uneducated to look at something other than FOXNEWS
or
3) They are supporting Billary and this is one of there assignments each day.

So which one are ?
