Since she is a lying communist who sleeps with a copy of 1984 under her pillow with the words "political strategy" written under the title. We are reaching a critical time in our history. We either destroy ourselves from the inside out by electing her, or we vote republican and save ourselves from the left.

Funny how, despite its accuracy, this question got deleted last time, isn't it? Are you people running away from your own religion now that it's shown to have done things you ridicule Aztecs and others for doing?

and no bail was set. I live in michigan so they (HD) had 72 hours to charge me. Well they didn't send a charge or a warrant to the jail/court (or whomever) so I was released after the 72 hours. They told me that it would be under further investigation. Can they still charge me? Will they?

I have NOTHING on my records as this is my first offense. Should I be okay?

Do I just wait for them to contact me or is this over?

It's without a doubt that the health care system in the U.S has received a lot of media coverage and is an important issue to politicians. According to studies, polls and research it's appearant that many people agree with its current state and many who feel they're not getting the best quality healthcare.

Are you, as a citizen of the U.S., concerned/worried about the current system we have in place and are happy with the healthcare you receive or are you for health care system reform and/or socialized health care?

I am a Veteran. I am in my my 50's.

If we leave Iraq...we (our children) will have to fight this war.

We are there, no matter what you think about it. We must stay.
We must...we have to honor our comittments.


To do otherwise is an injustice to those who gave all, to those who understand.

God Bless our Nation. And....those who volunteer to defend her.

It seems like they want to have no values whatsoever in the laws. They want almost all things to be legal or, not punishable. Drugs are ok, sexual deviances are ok, abortion is ok. It seems to me like they want to have people ruining their lives. Drugs are a problem for people, sexual assaults and molestations inflict lifelong scars on people and so does having an abortion. Why do they want to see these things available yet, they do not want to allow cigarette smoking or trans fat? Is there some kind of double standard that I don't see or understand?
Not to mention they continue to label people and segregate them instead of considering all people equal. In Illinois they are teaching children who speak Spanish, in Spanish, they are not teaching them how to speak English to keep them segregated from the rest of the population. Spanish speaking classrooms only, not integrating cultures instead, seperating them. I don't understand.

The civil liberties I am referring to more specifically are:

1. The right to be presented with a warrant in order for any government agency to enter your home, to search you and to seize your property.
2. The right to habius corpus, ie. the right to an attorney's council.
3. The right to free speach and the right to assembly, including the right to vocally criticize policies you disagree with without impunity.
4. The right to have a court warrant issued in order for any government agency to engage in a secret wire tapping operation or in undisclosed data collection about you.
5. The right to a trial by your peers.

Some of these 'rights', once guaranteed by our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, are currently being sacrificed, and others have come into question, and all in the name of securing the nation.

If you had a choice, would you choose to give them up in order to feel safer? Do you feel safer?

While democratic government is better than dictatorships and theocracies, it has its pitfalls. FSM Contributing Editor Philip Atkinson describes some of the difficulties facing President Bush today.
Conquering the Drawbacks of Democracy
By Philip Atkinson
President George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States. He was sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2005 after being chosen by the majority of citizens in America to be president.
Yet in 2007 he is generally despised, with many citizens of Western civilization expressing contempt for his person and his policies, sentiments which now abound on the Internet. This rage at President Bush is an inevitable result of the system of government demanded by the people, which is Democracy.
The inadequacy of Democracy, rule by the majority, is undeniable – for it demands adopting ideas because they are popular, rather than because they are wise. This means that any man chosen to act as an agent of the people is placed in an invidious position: if he commits folly because it is popular, then he will be held responsible for the inevitable result. If he refuses to commit folly, then he will be detested by most citizens because he is frustrating their demands.
When faced with the possible threat that the Iraqis might be amassing terrible weapons that could be used to slay millions of citizens of Western Civilization, President Bush took the only action prudence demanded and the electorate allowed: he conquered Iraq with an army.
This dangerous and expensive act did destroy the Iraqi regime, but left an American army without any clear purpose in a hostile country and subject to attack. If the Army merely returns to its home, then the threat it ended would simply return.
The wisest course would have been for President Bush to use his nuclear weapons to slaughter Iraqis until they complied with his demands, or until they were all dead. Then there would be little risk or expense and no American army would be left exposed. But if he did this, his cowardly electorate would have instantly ended his term of office, if not his freedom or his life.
The simple truth that modern weapons now mean a nation must practice genocide or commit suicide. Israel provides the perfect example. If the Israelis do not raze Iran, the Iranians will fulfill their boast and wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Yet Israel is not popular, and so is denied permission to defend itself. In the same vein, President Bush cannot do what is necessary for the survival of Americans. He cannot use the nation’s powerful weapons. All he can do is try and discover a result that will be popular with Americans.
As there appears to be no sensible result of the invasion of Iraq that will be popular with his countrymen other than retreat, President Bush is reviled; he has become another victim of Democracy.
By elevating popular fancy over truth, Democracy is clearly an enemy of not just truth, but duty and justice, which makes it the worst form of government. President Bush must overcome not just the situation in Iraq, but democratic government.
However, President Bush has a valuable historical example that he could choose to follow.
When the ancient Roman general Julius Caesar was struggling to conquer ancient Gaul, he not only had to defeat the Gauls, but he also had to defeat his political enemies in Rome who would destroy him the moment his tenure as consul (president) ended.
Caesar pacified Gaul by mass slaughter; he then used his successful army to crush all political opposition at home and establish himself as permanent ruler of ancient Rome. This brilliant action not only ended the personal threat to Caesar, but ended the civil chaos that was threatening anarchy in ancient Rome – thus marking the start of the ancient Roman Empire that gave peace and prosperity to the known world.
If President Bush copied Julius Caesar by ordering his army to empty Iraq of Arabs and repopulate the country with Americans, he would achieve immediate results: popularity with his military; enrichment of America by converting an Arabian Iraq into an American Iraq (therefore turning it from a liability to an asset); and boost American prestiege while terrifying American enemies.
He could then follow Caesar’s example and use his newfound popularity with the military to wield military power to become the first permanent president of America, and end the civil chaos caused by the continually squabbling Congress and the out-of-control Supreme Court.
President Bush can fail in his duty to himself, his country, and his God, by becoming “ex-president” Bush or he can become “President-for-Life” Bush: the conqueror of Iraq, who brings sense to the Congress and sanity to the Supreme Court. Then who would be able to stop Bush from emulating Augustus Caesar and becoming ruler of the world? For only an America united under one ruler has the power to save humanity from the threat of a new Dark Age wrought by terrorists armed with nuclear weapons.

Apparently some wives back in Mexico want their husbands deported, and by allowing then to stay we are in effect aiding them to be deadbeat dads.

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=672498de-a139-426d-a156-92fc7caaec7b

I don't know if this is a genuine report, but the idea of it doesn't seem to be so far-fetched. There are many families in Mexico without the fathers there, sending money is no replacement for a fathers daily presence and guidance.

In addition there are many children in Mexico who have BOTH parents in the USA and have been left with other family members.

Illegals here aren't getting rich, America is expensive. Wouldn't it be better for the families if they were reunited, even if they remained poor?

I'm planning on resigning from my job to attend a full time school. I have accrued 3 weeks of vacation and 3 weeks of sick time. I live in CA. I'm pretty sure my employer will pay the vacation time on my last check but what about the sick time? I'm thinking of "being sick" for a couple weeks and then resigning if they won't pay it.
