Politics & Government - 20 July 2007

Someone the other day said they thought Osama was dead. That it was no way possible he could survive in the remote mountains for all these years with his severe medical condition. The person said they thought it was just a ploy by our government to instill fear and gain support for our sustained occupation.

I thought it was a bit far fetched, but stranger things have happened, I guess.

What do you think. Is Osama alive and kicking and lecturing to future Jihad martyrs?

Or if a tree branch falls and hits someone? Wouldn't these be considered "acts of God"? You can't control nature!

There is much documentation suggesting that Jews concentrate their wealth in media and Hollywood, and then use this control to advance the Israeli/Jewish agenda.

I thought the Dems cared about average working American families. Am I wrong?

Top Dems are taking $18 billion from student loans. This money will no longer be available to help the kids of average hard working Americans.

Dems say the money might be used to help the poor. But, what about average hard working families who are trying to provide decent lives for their kids?

Don't Dems care about 90% of the kids that you see at schools?

His activist supporters say that 4 yr olds need to know that boys have a penis and girls have a vulva, vagina and so forth.

They say that simply teaching a child that NO ONE should ever touch them and that if ANYONE ever says "its a secret" that they should tell their parents right away is wrong and that kids just need to know the details.

Are we ever going to let our kids be kids again? Why are we forcing them to be mini adults?

Oh another thing- these dingbats used the church molestation scandal as a reason that this is needed. Interesting because the overwhelming number of those boys were teens not toddlers.

I am currently working as a receptionist in Dubai. I arrived 2 monhs ago & since I have to exit soon, my employer issued me an new company-sponsored visit visa while they process my employment/residency visa. I have already submitted all the documentary requirements except my passport. If I resign, what are the steps I need to take to transfer the company-sponsored visa back to visit visa? Will an employment ban be imposed on me even though the employment visa processing was not finished?

With the world becoming smaller, America should lead the world into the 21 century. But handouts to foreign countries need to stop. It seems to me that over 30 years of trade deficits is enough.

Why is it when liberals and Democrats hear the words: "God, Jesus, pledge of allegiance, boy scout, Christian, Jew, or USA" they declare war but when they hear: "suicide bomber, Jihad, Arab, infidels, Taliban, Hezbollah, Muslim terrorists," they break out the peace signs?

My AMEX payment of $2,920 was due in full on Monday, July 9. So, on June 26, I mailed out a check for $3,000.

However, on Saturday, July 7 it was returned to my home. The top and bottom of the envelope were cleanly slit open and the check and payment stub were stapled 6 times to the envelope.

The postmaster wrote a note on the envelope stating that the letter could not be mailed in this condition.

I went to the PO first thing on Monday and told the manager someone had tampered with my mail and as a result, my payment arrived to AMEX late and I was charged a late fee of $90 (2.99%).

He denied it even though I put my mail directly in the blue postal boxes. Are they responsible or is asking them to pay the $90 too much. Also, on Monday I told him my payment was due and asked him to overnight it as a curosity...he refused.

This is just a hypothetical question,but not as farfetched as one
might think. Bush has already signed executive orders giving
himself the authority to impose martial law,suspend habeas
corpus,and to ignore the Posse Comitatus Act,which forbids
the deployment of American troops against U.S. citizens.
For those who think that could never happen,two words: Kent
State.

What would your reaction be if Bush decided to extend his
Presidency by force?
