Politics & Government - 6 August 2007

So much about terrorism. Either help Iraq change its financial status or leave. Violence is violence whether it is here or there.
The US has illegals and Spanish and Arabs are now a genuine
asset of the US . Give us your tired and poor. Well,we have them. Now lets educate and move on like we always have and stop the apathy of the American people. Houses cost to much and we have uneducated persons to fill our jobs as most of the baby boomers are attempting to retire. War may be good for some economies but it is strapping our interests internally.

Today I was driving with my 8 month old baby in the car when I was hit really hard from behind by a white Transit van.

I was so shocked and trying to check my baby was alright - the idiot in the transit came running over shakng his head and going on about "you turned at the last minute, I had no chance of stopping that was all your fault - do you admit it, do you admit it?"

I felt so shocked and intimidated I rang my other half (who worked nearby) to come out and see me and speak to this man, who was desperately trying to force me to admit that I had "turned at the last minute" thereby "causing" him to hit me.

For one thing I didn't turn at the last minute. For another, even if I had done so, if he had been driving at a sensible distance he would not have hit me!

I phoned the company he worked for who were also unhelpful but gave me their insurance.

What is the law about this? My car is totalled as is a pushchair that was in the boot and my baby and I are pretty shocked

I see so many topics on YA stating that the Bush Administration did this wrong, that wrong, all of these things wrong, it is endless. Not even pointing out the things this administration did right, I just want to know of a better strategy in Iraq. This question is a chance for you to validate your complaints.

Is there a better solution to bring about a stable government in Iraq that our administration is not currently doing? I don't think early withdrawl is the best solution since it will leave the young Iraqi government without strong support, and they will be quickly overthrown and replaced with yet another anti U.S. government.

What are your solutions? Please provide reasons on why you believe your solution to be the best solution. This is not a forum to continue slander of our nations leader so don't. What I would like to see is positive moves that this administration or the next can begin to transition into place.

Tom McKenna is a longtime Stuart businessman who speaks only English.

He says that's why he's being kicked out of the storefront on South Dixie Highway where he has run Seacoast Water Care for seven years.

On July 5 — the day after Independence Day — McKenna received a letter from landlord Ivan Munroe telling him to consider another location.

Munroe said in his letter he wants to have "quality tenants serving the Spanish need in the area."

A friend told me this

Bush has just made an executive order saying any protesting of any kind against the Iraq war is illegal so we are standing up and fighting for our rights as americans.

Also Bush has said that if we are attacked again he will be put in charge of all 3 branches of government which means he will be exactly like a dictator.

I'm not a bush lover but How can I tell him its not true?

How did you feel when George HW Bush raised taxes and closed military bases?

My answer:

I was PO'd when he raised taxes, as he had said he wouldn't in his campaign for president, although, let us tell the whole truth shall we? When George Bush Sr. was the president, the Congress was completely ruled by Democrats, and it is they, who insisted on higher taxes. Mr. Bush Sr. vetoed the first bill, written by the Democrats, and voted by the Democrats in Congress to raise our taxes. There was a lot of pressure on Mr. Bush Sr. by Democrats, after the bill returned to the president for the second time, they having voted again that taxes should be raised.
Previously, before 1993, Democrats had been in control of the House and Senate for 40 years. Who will you blame for the extraordinary tax hikes during those 40 years? George Washington? Sorry, he was dead during that time period.
Mr. Bush also didn't close that many military bases. You can give the credit for a weak government to Bill Clinton, his wife, and his hoe, if you want to hear the truth. No President in history has closed as many military bases as did Clinton, or weakened our forces with lack of development, and equipment, as Bill Clinton.
Let's stick blame where it belongs, eh? Tell the truth, and shame the devil.

I will not allow you to deceive the American public with your question. It doesn't tell the truth, and will confuse the un-educated.

In other words, why do they keep pushing to change things here in the U.S.? For example, special foot baths, prayer time -outs, etc. Who do they think they are if they (as a CAIR official said) say they will abolish the Constitution and implement Sharia law?

I'm 100% against illegal immigration.I think it hurts American citizens both finically, & socially.
It costs American taxpayers more money.That's because illegal immigrants get free health care when they go to the E.R.It hurts the U.S. socially, because illegal immigrants hurt American neighborhoods, & their children(anchor babies) hurt the U.S. public school system.Also the violent Hispanic street gang MS-13 which started in El Salvador, is spreading through out the U.S.That's mostly due to illegal immigrants from Central America.
I know that illegal immigrants do some good things for the U.S. economy.But how many more millions of unskilled & uneducated workers do we need?The bad out weighs the good by far.I would give illegal immigrants a chance to become U.S. citizens.They would have to learn English, go through a background check & pay a $5,000 fine.They would also have to take & pass a course in U.S. history.Then they could become U.S. citizens.
I wouldn't allow them to bring any extended family members with them to the U.S.(chain migration)
They could only bring spouses & children.I would deport every illegal immigrant convicted of a felony.Then I would secure our borders with both Mexico & Canada.I would hire 5,000 more border guards to secure the Canadaian border & 10,000 more to secure the Mexican border.To stop illegal immigrants & drug traffickers from coming through our Southern border.And to stop possible Islamic terrorists from coming through our Northern border.

I like the fact that we can travel anywhere, coast to coast, and never leave red state america. When I do venture into the inner city to help fed the homeless and street people it makes want to reach out and help Blue County America.

"Of America's 3,114 counties, Bush won 2,532 -- or 81.1 percent -- covering 78 percent of our country's land mass. In only 162 of those counties -- just over 6 percent -- was Bush's margin of victory less than 5 points. As the Los Angeles Times reported, Bush won 97 of the nation's 100 fastest-growing counties -- Kerry won just three."

The novels series is nothing but liberal propoganda and I think we should stop kids from reading them.

Groups such as the John Birch Society, whose articles are referred to by Rowling's Christianity-based opponents, have criticised her for a supposed liberal/socialist bent and for her admiration for "unrepentant socialist and death-fetishist extraordinaire" Jessica Mitford, who has been her heroine since the age of 14. "The Potter books read in places like diatribes against the modern middle class, especially whenever Harry confronts his ludicrously dysfunctional and downright abusive adopted family, the Dursleys."

Also, Rowling's portrayal of the bureaucratized Ministry of Magic and the oppressive measures taken by the ministry in the later books (like making attendance at Hogwarts School compulsory and the "registration of mudbloods" with the Ministry) is an allegory criticizing the state and goverment.

I will not let commies to poison the minds of our kids. Ban the Potter book!
