If tornado / hurricane / wildfire / tsunami scours your house from it's foundation and takes half your state infrastructure with it...do you have the means to treat your own wounds, travel out of the area and make a new home elsewhere that day?

In other words - do you have Personal Responsibility and want your dollar back?

This vote is on the Dream Act to provide free higher education to illegals instead of sending the funds to our troops and providing National Security!

Are they voting today?

Why is Education for Illegals in the Defense Budget to begin with? Are they trying to be sneaky about providing amnesty for voting age illegals?

The actual quote is:

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Liberals like to remove the words "essential" and "a little temporary."

I have just read an answer from a certain Mr m4rkowen, and it raised a question that I have pondered over for a long time now....

Why on earth do we all have to work 9-5???

Ok, not all, but that is still typical office hours. Nearly all offices run at some time between 8 and 6pm, meaning everybody is on the road at the same time, to take a doctors appointment means time off work (costing the economy) and its tricky for some to pick up the kids from school.

Would it not make sense for working hours to be staggered between different workplaces? After all, most business to business requires admin time, this could be done when the other side has gone home or before they arrive to work and vice versa.

We live in a global economy and I cant see the UK shutting down overnight from this, after all we can currently do business with anyone from a one hour to a 12 hour time difference.

9-5 is sooooooo 20th Century! Would another way work?

We know our founding fathers didn't overextend the Executive branch for a reason. We are supposed to elect "Representatives" who represent our ideas. (So they must watch what the US citizenry wants to run a good government)
Bush Sr., though I'm a Democratic voter, was a good president because he watched the poles and tried to do what Americans wanted. However, we wanted a strong leader. Strong leaders are for totalitarian regimes, not for Democratic-Republics. If you vote a "leader" we the people loose all say once they're in office.
So, why do Americans want an idealistic leader and not a representative to be our next President?

Black water is a private security firm empowered by President Bush. They have power over the state police and are licensed to kill where ever they operate including here in America. They answer to no law enforcement or government authority
They are operating in several American States. How safe are we? What connection will Bush have with Black water after his term in office ends?
Will he take over the security firm?
Does anybody else see this as a repeat of history?
Does anybody see the president as an extremely dangerous threat to the stabilty of America's future? Should Blackwater and firms like it be outlawed?

40-50 million people pay no health insurance premiums currently .
That means that 250 million people have coverage provide by the government or private insurance .
Now just because you can not call a doctors office and make an appointment does not mean that you can not go to the county hospital and sit in the waiting room for a day and be seen by a doctor and get medication prescribed by the doctor for free.
This means that the 40-50 million people who do not have Insurance are getting care .

Now it seems that all the democrat reformers of the medical industry are trying to get the government to come in and make it a tax issue rather then a choice issue .

SO by going to universal health care people who have no insurance today will be forced through a tax to pay for part of this care .

SO what democrats are trying to do is make those who have not had to pay so far for medical care to pay by taxing them .

So the democrats want the poor to chip in by taxing them for it .

Gee, Mengele would be so proud.

I think it's time that police were given more training in the proper use of this potentially lethal weapon.

cops have very little choices in what they can and can't do and tazering someone to make them stay still is better than most other ways of dealing with violent offenders. i support the cops in this. thanks guys for doing a thankless job. god bless you.

Is this a violation of your civil rights as an American?
Were the police within their rights to use 50,000 volts on an American citizen who did not possess a firearm or a weapon?
Does this activity sound familiar with Ohio State during the 60's?
Does this violate our civil rights as American citizens and restrict free speech in our country?
Would this have happened if there was a Democrat in the White House?
Does this activity fall in line with the far right and Bush lovers in this country?
Has Kerry commented on this activity..I haven't heard his response?
Is this now acceptable behavior to electrocute someone because we disagree with someone?
Does anyone feel like we live in George Orwell's ,"1984" society?
Does that you proud as an American that we can taze someone because we didn't like what someone has to say?
What would our founding fathers if they were alive have to say about the police action against this young man in Florida?

Is there a general lack of respect and civility in our country? I thought the student at UF showed a tremendous lack of respect toward a United States Senator. And I notice it here as well. Philosophical disagreement has turned into general stereotyping and name calling.
IF you think there is, is this a downward spiral, or will respect and civility EVER come back?
BTW: I do not exclude myself as a small part of the problem in this forum, so I am not trying to be "preachy"!!
Just Curious.
Thanks!

Wheelchair-Bound Woman Dies After Being Shocked With Taser 10 Times
http://news.yahoo.com/s/wkmg/20070919/lo_wkmg/14147512

A Clay County, Florida woman's family said it's seeking justice after their loved one died shortly after being shocked 10 times with Taser guns during a confrontation with police. The family of 56-year-old Emily Delafield said it would take the Green Cove Springs Police Department to court, according to a WJXT-TV report. Note: This kind of thing is happening too much, especially when it is obvious the perpetrator is handicapped. Sounds familiar doesn't it?

what will it take for Americans to put the criminal justice system back on track with what the American people want for police protection in the USA? It seems that if cops can't physically "control" a citizen they will just pull out their tasers and shock them. Why is that? What about a 6 year old girl that was tasered several times by school peace officers in order to "bring her under control"? Isn't about time that Americans redefine what criminal behavior is and what can and cannot be done to subdue someone - and in the case of a college student who recently was tasered when he was simply carrying out his right to question his representatives and/or candidates - a US Constitutionally guaranteed right? When will the criminal justice system be fixed and bad cops removed from the various police agencies within our government (local, state, and federal levels)? Let's not just point a finger at cops - let's point the finger at ALL criminal justice actors. Just WHO are they protecting?

I wonder why the poor people who have free medical care now would complain .

I bet they are not complaining .

I bet its the insurance companies who have to pay increasing bill amounts .

Yes Hillary is in league with the billion dollar insurance companies who feel as if they are forced to pay to cover the services the poor get for free now .

We all know that nothing is free so those bills to insurance and those who pay cash pay a little bit more to cover those who can not pay or do not have insurance .

I like the system fine right now .

Everyone is getting care .

I feel bad for people being ripped off by insurance companies but oh well you could always drop your coverage and get the free care .
