Politics & Government - 16 August 2007

The congress is corupt and paid off. The judges in the judical system are corupt and paid off. Yet doesn't it occur to people to think that something very bad is happening to this country. Where are our checks and balances? People are quick to quote, but can you really justify all the things government has done lately? Not to mention what they are planning to do to our country. What are your thoughts?

Here is a descent hard working god fearing Christian that deserves your respect. This man served his country flying jets in the National Guard until his HONORABLE discharge. He earned a Harvard MBA! No Terror ATTACKS on USA soil since 9/11 - He is keeping us safe!

Just an all around great guy who has brought Honor and Dignity back to the White House after those awful Clinton years.

You have to admit LIBS. It's kind of nice having a President who does not spend all his time in front of special prosecutors, Grand Juries and Impeachment Hearings! My family was ebarrassed that Clinton soiled the office like that. Now, we look at Bush with pride!

I've heard that Americans can actually kill people who unlawfully invade into their homes. They can literally get away with mudering the criminals and not go to prison. In England, if someone breaks into your house, you go to prison if you kill or even slightly injure them. Even if the person tries to rape your children and take all your valuables. There was a case where the intruder successfully sued the homeowner because he got a broken nose and got much money in damages. Does this seem like a right thing? Shouldn't the very same people that pay the taxes that support the government also be able to not live in fear of going to prison for fighting off criminals in their very own abodes?

We are giving so much money to overs for war, Selling arms to countries, etc yet we have homeless, starving people here who need our help. Why has the country turned a blind eye to our own people. People in the goverment claim god but are not honoring him. I'm looking for real answers. Is it wrong to help our neighbor? Instead of spending billions on war would it not be better to help our country?

Government imposes taxes on it's people gradually and without our notification. They take away the moeny that we earn without our say so. what they are doing is wrong and if an individual were to do what the government is doing it would be called a scam. But the government gets away with it why because they are the government. Do you thik this is wrong? What are your thoughts?

Everybody says Bush Bush Bush. He has to go through congress and they can override any of his proposal so if you don't like something it's them to blame more than him.

Authorities say four men arrested in the course of raids on pot farms hidden in Southern Oregon forests this week are part of a Mexican drug cartel that is growing pot for national distribution.

In recent days teams of state police, Jackson County deputies, and federal agents have cut some 42,000 marijuana plants potentially worth more than $100 million from sites near Applegate Lake about 20 miles southwest of Medford, authorities said. Police arrested the three men in the pickup, identified as Zaragoza-Infante, Timoteo Hernandez-Guzman, 46, and Angel Cardenas-Estrada, 20, on charges of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana.

In a dawn raid last Friday, authorities netted 32,000 marijuana plants from two plantations, and found two armed men. One got away, but the other was arrested. Jose Guadalupe Gomez-Gonzalez, 22, told agents that he was paid $1,500 a day to tend the plants.

Agents returned Tuesday to the woods near Applegate Lake, where they removed up to 10,000 more marijuana plants.

All four men were being held without bail on immigration holds, authorities said.

So yeah, i was with my friend who was in ACUs, and the metal detector guy made him take of his boots because the army is now making boots with switchblades in them, as in, when you stomp your foot really hard, a blade comes out the front.
Like in the movies.

The guy said that they are finding soldiers with them all the time now, mostly ppl going to iraq.

Im guessing so that you're always armed.

Either way, can someone enlighten me on where to get these? The guy said they buy them on the internet.

Or can someone just give me the name of them?

Or intructions on how to make my own?

thank you if you help

Why can't the USA just fund social services enough to get rid of poverty, hungery children, poor housing, no health care, unemployment, economically driven crime, etc.?

It is pretty lame that such a rich place treats it's poor, disabled, and elderly like animals while simultaneously taking so much more than most people need, throwing away and wasting so much, spending so little on care.

Don't write back insults, use your brain and answer the question WHY? What is the REASON?

The only subject fewer authentic Americans care about than the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo is World Cup Soccer. America is an epic global battle with ruthless savages who seek our destruction, and liberals are feeling sorry for the terrorists!

First of all I am not a Vick supporter, he deserves to goto jail for illegal betting. Now, society needs to get things straight. We place dogs and cats and other stupid animals to high in our society. Who cares if you kill dogs are cats, we kill cows, pigs, and deer all the time but if you kill a dog you get in big trouble. In some cases you could goto jail longer for killing a dumb dog then a child molester who touches children. Is that not messed up? PETA and all these animal rights groups need to grow up and worry about important things such as murder, child molesters and rapists.

It just occured to me that when I hire people to do work in the yard, I would never think to ask if someone was "legal" or not
until nowadays. Why should I ask them? I am not running a business in the sense that I think I should ask.
