I have to go to court today because we are charging someone with disorderly conduct and making threats to my family. I've never been in this situation before and don't know what to expect. Has anyone been on the plaintiff's side who can give me some information?

or has the US turned away from what it was meant to be and become what is was created to get away from?

What happened to freedom? I am now being forced to take a health plan that I can't afford, I have no say in what doctors I can see, or how much coverage I can get.

A lot of you accused me of not knowing the difference between legal and illegal immigration. So I will put forward the following question.

You say, your issue is with the ILLEGAL immigrants and the problems that arise as a direct result of the immigration being illegal. i.e taking jobs of other Americans because they work for less money, turning to crime and other illegal ways of making money due to restrictions

This is your premise, right. You all said so in the previous question that I asked.

So given that premise, why dont you believe in an open border policy?

I mean if these immigrants were suddenly legitimised, suddenly employers would have no benefit in hiring them over other Ameircans, as they would have to pay them minimum wage...it would all be equal. Crime would go down, we would have a rich influx of culture.

This is your logic btw, you said it was the illegals you had issue with, not the legals.

Prison is meant to be a place where people who have committed crimes can go to pay for the crime(s) they have committed and also be rehabilitated so they can come back again into society.
For persistant offenders, who obviously have no desire for rehabilitation or a life away from crime why don't we give them 3 chances before they are incarserated for the rest of their lives?

I have come to the conclusion you cannot win in this category on Answers. If you answer a question regarding illegal immigration, the La Raza gang will jump on you and call you racist names (white sh*t, pendejo, etc.). And you end up being the one getting violation notices when you have not uttered one racist slur.
I am not going to bother with this category anymore. My freedom of speech has been taken away here and given over to the illegals.
I am going to double my effort in real life to make sure immigration reform really happens. I will be bugging my congressmen non-stop, and doing anything else I can. I will not lose my right of speech in the real world and especially in my own country. La Raza may control Answers, but not the US. Not now and not ever. So help me God and God bless America.

I was Rosemary Chicken, a name that comes from a joke among my friends. But I am not chicken. I will fight back, in a place where it really matters.

Although it will take many years, I believe we can win this War on Terror if we simply avoid the temptation of throwing in the towel early.

And when we win, should all the Leftists be rounded up and forced to walk before an assembly of our soldiers, apologizing one-at-a-time for letting our troops down?

I think so.

Are you a democrat, republican? are you voting For Hilary? Obama? Someone else? Are you scared a new president is going to pull our troops out and leave us open for attack? Do you want our troops home? Would you re-elect bush if you could? Do you believe its wrong to have a two term limit? That if we choose to re-elect for a third we should be allowed to? That knowing they cant be re-electet make the president slack off? Do you think that democrats put way to much work into welfare when we have a nation to protect?

I am a concerned parent looking for some answers. My daughter is 17 years old and currently dating a guy that's 24. She tells me that she is old enough to do what she wants and since 16 is the legal age in P.A. there's nothing that I can do. I've heard that 18 is the legal age, and if under 18 you must have parents consent if there is a 4+ year age gap. But I've also heard that it's anyone under the age of 16 and a 4+ year age gap? Does anyone know what the real law is? What should I do? I dont wan to be THAT dad and hurt my daughter cause she's really into this guy.

Is anybody tired of the manic conditions in today's America yet. Gas prices that jump 30 cents a gallon in an afternoon, an uncertain economy, international affairs that just seem to worsen from one day to the next, a stock market that jumps 100 points one day then falls a 100 points the next, a "booming" economy in which only corporate America and the IRS prospers, the worry of product safety from imported products no longer made in the USA. Is this what life in America will be like from now on?
What has led us into this lifestyle? Is this the America we want?

This past November 2006, we were promised by our elected officials that they would slash spending on earmarks. Here is it September 4, 2007, 9 months into their terms and what progress have we made? Here are the leading numbers according to the San Francisco Chronicle:

Diane Feinstein - $382.3 Million
John Murtha - $186 Million
Barbara Boxer - $152.5 Million
Nancy Pelosi - $141.3 Million
Obey - $96 Million
Denny Hoyer - $85.5 Million

Watchdog groups praise Democrats' efforts to rein in pork spending, which exploded over the last decade under Republican rule. But Alexander said heavy earmarking by Pelosi and other party leaders raises questions about their commitment to making deep cuts.

"It seems like they are not necessarily leading by example," she said.

How in the hell can you praise this group of politicians for cutting spending? They are raiding the treasury while they preach that they should be cutting the budget.

Foxnews has something where you can submit your own questions. I was thinking of asking this of Guliani but haven't sent it yet. What do you think?

"When you were mayor of NYC you gave everyone here illegally taxpayer funded benefits because you didn't know what else to do with them. As President, would you continue to discourage illegal immigration by rewarding them with taxpayer funded services and a special path to citizenship, or would you enforce the existing laws and try to make it difficult to live here illegally?"

In all honesty, he's one of the best presidents America has ever had. In terms of Bush's place in history, he will be remembered alongside the greatest presidents including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, and a fellow Republican by the name of Abraham Lincoln. Now, it's impossible for me to list ALL Bush accomplishments with such a short amount of space, but I'll list a couple of things this great man has done.

1) Bush has reestablished good Christian Values in the White House, and America at large (Lord knows we needed it after the Clinton administration).

2) Bush has made us safe from terrorists through his audacious military efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq.

3) Bush has continuously fought for Middle Class Americans by cutting taxes. A move that also saved the Economy!

4) Bush has raised educational standards for our kids by starting the "no child left behind" program.

I can go on and on with Bush's accomplishments. There's just too many to mention!
