Politics & Government - 24 July 2007

I think basically it will clear out all the cobwebs until we elect responsive leadership. If they promise and dont deliver then we will boot them out sequentially.

Does it make a difference at the end of the day who you vote for because at the end of the day whatever party gets in will just do their best anyway.

Maybe voting should be called betting,vote for whoever you think is going to win the election because if the guy you voted for is on the winning side then you can expect more funding for your area.

A new poll out today finds that fifty-five percent said they trust congressional Democrats on the war, compared with 32 percent who said they trust Bush. In addition, by 2 to 1, Americans said Congress, rather than the president, should make the final decision about when to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq.

How should the Democrats in Congress proceed? Your thoughts?

It was southern conservative Democrats (aka Dixiecrats and former dixiecrats) who came up with the slogan in support of slavery and then segregation.

When did the Republican Party start using that slogan?

When was the first time the South voted Republican for president and why?

Five points for the first best answer.

Never fight a battle you don't have to win. But if you have to win, never quit, never surrender.

For immigration.....

For government spending.....
The only people the federal government should be sending checks to, are people who work for the federal government.

For abortion.....
Abortion is murder. If you don't believe me, ask the baby.

Why does'nt the USA just conquer the world, and remake it in our image?
and then the world would be one big great perfect and succesful country like ours.

And would that be a bad thing? Sure some countries and peoples would resist, but we could quelch them with such overwhelming force, that the rest would soon toe the line and sing our praises.

For several weeks a person involved in the same industry as myself has been spreading rumors and lies about me in online discussion forums. There is absolutely no truth to any of it. The person has said that other people who have been involved in business with me have told them these things. I have confronted the people and they tell me emfatically that the defamer has made up all of these lies and is just a mentally ill person that is taking pleasure in my dismay. My question is what can I do about it? Is this a crime? I know who the person is as they make no attempt to hide their identity. the allegations they are making have the potential to destroy my reputation and my business that I have worked very hard to build. The person has also stated, "I'm going to to hunt you through every forum I can find." They do this in public forums and in private messages. The administrators of these forums will not ban the person but they do remove his personal attacks towrds me. Help!?!?

Last year I settled a case out of court in mediation against an x-employer that was suing me. We settled for various reasons, one of which my attorney was in the middle of losing his license and I would have had to start the process all over with a new attorney had I chosen to go to trial. Nonetheless we settled through a judge advocate. I was required to make my first payment in the settlement 60 days later for an amount larger than what I had in my bank account or g=could immediately access. Therefore my husband and I applied for a second on our home. Once approved, which took longer than the 60 days before my 1st payment due, I paid the plaintiff's attorney the first two payments due, therefore we were caught up. This was Dec 2006, and after that I continued to execute a payment each month in the agreed $1000 per month payment. In February 2007 the plaintiffs attorney filed an abstract of judgement unbeknownist to me until May 2007, when I received notice from the clerk -recorders office that a lien was being place on my property for much more than the remaining balance owed on the judgement. Then in July I received a letter from my bank stating that my joint bank account had a levy against it.
I tried to get help from the Orange County Courts office only to be told "I didn't qualify" for any assistance, even to merely ask questions on what I needed to do to fight all of this. The only thing I have been told is I need to hire an attorney again and pay more money to fight all of this. I have paid this debt as agreed all along withthe exception of the 1st two payments while I was trying to get approved for a 2nd loan on my house. Once that was done all payments were caught us and since been paid every month. The x- employer and his attorney will not respond to any letters I have written asking why they are doing this, to release this and all payments have been made. I was led to believe that even though the initial payment was late because it was caught up and paid as agreed moving forward it was fine. Now they are trying to come up with ridiculous charges and fees and more money that I do not have to spend.
I went to the small claims court to try to file a small claims suit or counter suit or notice to vacate only to be told I can't and I don't understand why. I can't seem to file anything without an attorney. I don't have that kind of money again to go through all of this. I just want to prove that I have paid all along, have my day in court to show this so that this stops. I am $3000 away from being done with all of it, but now they are claiming I owe $10k+. What can I do?

The First Amendment reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” There are several clauses within this amendment. How do each of these clauses protect the rights of individuals when it comes to religious freedom?

I think it is a symbol of TREASON and SLAVERY. Back during the civil rights movement, klan members used to fly it as a sign of "southern heritage."

If you're so brainwashed as to believe the South seceeded over taxes, read the civil war era documents titled DECLARATION OF SECESSION.
