We have more illegal immigrants than unemployed people in America right now by a wide margin. Most economists argue, anyways, that a small but non-zero unemployment rate is best for an economy (so long as no individuals are chronically unemployed), since it is beneficial to have a pool of labor for new, innovative businesses. Therefore, if we get rid of all the illegal immigrants, shouldn't we raise legal immigration quotas by a substantial amount?

I keep seeing statements about how no Democrats work?

I thought you guys used "facts" and "logic"?

the last time I looked it up about 5 million were on welfare... I don't remember if that was "people" or "households"... but let's assume it's all voting age people... for maximum effect...

and about 59 million voted for Kerry?

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/president/

so assuming all 5 million on welfare voted (which if you look at the exit polls, those in poverty voted the least, so that's a pretty rediculous assumption in the first place)...

then at best... less than 10 percent of voting Democrats are on welfare... and over 90 percent work... and that's based on many huge assumptions and highest possible numbers...

so, at worst, 90 percent of voting Democrats work... sounds like the vast majority to me...

did I miss something or does it seem like Republicans are a little delusional on this one?

So obviously cops HAVE to have a reason to pull you over.
Well, i was at a bar the other night with my fiance.

We just happened to be sitting next to an off duty cop, who i'll add, DROVE out of the parking lot after i watched him drink 5 beers.

Anyways, my fiance didn't drink that night, so he was the DD.

Before we realized he was a cop we were talking about going home, smokin a joint and heading to bed.

Next day, that same officer pulls me over saying
"We just had someone rob a Dollar General store, and left in a white car" (i have a white car by the way).

Yeah, like he REALLY thought me, a 22 year old girl just robbed a fricking dollar general. The only reason why he pulled me over is because he was PRAYING i had cannabis on me.

Well, he claimed he smelled something odd when he walked up. Though my car is brand new, my fiance and i don't smoke ciggs and we don't smoke OR eat in our car. So all he could of smelled was my perfume .............................

then the police find an empty beer in yuor trunk and hold you for open intoxicants, then indicate they must take you to the hospital for a blood draw to determine your level of intoxicatio, but ask for a drug screen at the hospital with out your consent. then issue tickets for open intoxecants and operating under the ifluence of drugs algough none were found in your car.When should your rights be read to you. As soon as your held or not until you are arrested

Can anyone think of a scenario in the not-too-distant future where a foreign military power or an alliance of some kind could mount a successful invasion of the USA? What strategy would be used? Would nuclear weapons be a foregone conclusion, or would countries shy away from mutual destruction? If such a scenario exists, then how could the USA take action now to defend aganist such a scenario?

LIBS – I know you are excited to protest against America yet again but hold your FVCKING horses! We haven’t even invaded yet. We have fired no missles nor killed any Iranian terrorists.

So put away your “Surrender”, “Let’s Cut & Run” & “It’s the Evil USA’s fault” signs and calm down

Pop in a copy of Brokeback Mountain and light up some weed. Slip off your Birkenstocks and dive into some trail mix or your favorite soy based dairy product. Cindy and Michael will let you know when it is time to blame America and take to the streets.

In sports, in politics, and in war, people often demonize their opponent that is; they portray their enemies as incarnations of evil. Can you think of examples? Why do you think people do this? What effect do you think such behavior has on society as a whole?

I work hard this money. Shouldn't I be the one who decides where it goes.
I work hard for my premium health care, why should I pay for others' that don't want to work hard?
I work two jobs 60 hours per week. Why should even any of my tax money go to people that refuse to work?

Is the democratic point of view, "the harder you work, the more we take"?
