Politics & Government - 25 July 2007

Okay, I was thinking of Joining the Air Force.

i already have 69 credits.

Once I join, I'll get 14 to 17 credit hours from boot camp.

I'll get about 36 or something around there from tech school.

maybe 12 or so more from job experience.

while this is going on, I'll probably get my citizenship within 6 months (not that it's important, except to get a job I want within the AIr Force)

This would bring me up to about 131 credit hours.

Then take as many classes as I can to get my bachelors.

Hopefully within 3 or less years.


after 3 years I'll change jobs to pick one of 5 or 6 that I like,

or/and

try to apply to the officer program and apply for the pilot program. Hopefully all this would happen within 5 years or so.

Is this possible and realistic?

Any suggestions?

Please try to be serious?


I am willing to work as hard as I can and try my best to do this.

Last fall, here in Buffalo, NY two teenage girls (both 15) and one teenage boy (16) went to a Christian church and with spray paint vadalized the church with "LONG LIVE THE ATHEISTS" ... and they also burned an American flag.

They are all being charged ... but do you think it's unfair that they are charging the girls? Girls never do that sort of stuff. I think that they should let the girls off and put the boy in jail, maybe for life. What do you think?

If you had historical data proving supply side Republicans saw better growth then all other presidents, wouldn't you use it as proof that your ideas work best?

So why the copout when the facts show the opposite?

Keynesian (invest in America) Democrats see better growth then supply side Republicans.

IF REALITY WERE ON YOUR SIDE, WOULD YOU NOT USE IT?

1) Here are the percent increase in real GDP for various presidents:

FDR 177.51% (from 32' to 45')
FDR 88.14% (from 32' to 41', without WWII)
JFK/LBJ 46.00%
CLINTON 33.81%
REAGAN 30.63%
BUSH JR 16.55% (from 00' to 06')

---------

2) Here is the percent increase in inflation adjusted tax revenues:

FDR 447.54% (40' to 44', only data available)
CLINTON 57.91%
JFK/LBJ 37.63%
REAGAN 20.16%
BUSH JR 4.44% (assuming predictions up to 2008 hold)

You are all quite correct. I do misspell words. Mostly because I have a vision problem and have become overly Dependant on spell checker to edit what i write. When you see badly and type worse you tend to turn out garbage. Please forgive the sloppiness, I mean no disrespect.

I've heard them ALL before. Sore losers can't accept reality and therefore resort to all sorts of EXCUSES to explain why their theories were wrong.

1) Correlation does not imply causation unless of course you are talking about tax cuts and growth, then it is cause and effect.

2) It takes 2, 4, and even up to 8 years for a president's policies to take effect. That is why Reagan was responsible for the Clinton expansion (but not responsible for the Bush Sr recession). Of course this only applies selectively. If you're talking about Reagan and Bush Jr, then their policies had immediate effects and Carter and Clinton had nothing to do with it.

3) The Republican congress was responsible for the Clinton expansion but the Democratic congress during Reagan had absolutely nothing to do with the Reagan growth.

4) Government action has absolutely no effect on government policies. FDR, JFK, LBJ, and Clinton were just plain lucky.

Does a trade union have the right to demand wage/salary information from its members? Does it have the right to use this information to set standards on who can join and who is excluded from joining? I'm asking because of a trade group my mother used to belong to...one that is attempting to lock out a segment of the industry.

For example, if someone wanted to create a website that sold say, bumper sticker of the president's face with a quarky parody, would that be legal? I am pretty sure that it is, so long as it is in "parody", and that it is a political figure. If not, please explain where the line of legality lies.

The man has been stone walling Congress from the start and now it legitimately appears they he may have committed perjury in his latest testimony.

Those who support illegal immigration, let me ask you this: WHY? What makes you think that it is actually benefiting the U.S. by allowing millions of illegal aliens in and supporting them? Don't use the "making a better life for themselves" crap on me. I'm not naive. Fewer and fewer illegal aliens are being underpaid everyday. More and more are demanding high paying jobs, in other words, taking jobs that rightfully belong to citizens. Crime rates have skyrocketed. Jails are filling up. Hospitals are closing. The U.S. is losing billions of dollars by supporting them. And all of this is because of illegal immigration. How is this better for our country? I would like you to list a few benefits of illegal immigration.

Can anyone give me sources or links to show where executive orders are constitutional?

Or is the executive branch ignoring the constitution by making up laws without the legislative branch of government?

If you kill some body that killed your mom or brother, is it wrong to get revenge after all in the bible it says an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. So is it wrong to get revenge? And if so then why is it okay for the criminal justice system to orders captial punishment? And after all the justice system is just getting revenge too. But this country is built off god...we do say " in god we trust" so please tell me what you think?

This guy is an obvious liar. He has no business being an Attorney General. Either he should be fired or someone should shoot him in the head.

I've had it... we're a military family. Seen it all, done it all for over 10 years, twice in Iraq. What is the best newspaper to tell this to? I'm ready to expose all of it and let the world know exactly what BS is being spewn. Thanks.
