Politics & Government - 20 September 2007

This is a serious question. Would anyone be interested in being part of an online discussion about the future of immigration?

Both legal and illegal. With people from the US and other countries..maybe even a friend from Cuba. And it will be in English.

This would be a real discussion and sharing of information and views about immigration and where it is going. It can be as a mailing list or in my yahoo discussion group Sigy's Saloon.

My fellow republicans,
Last night I kissed a man named Terry and I learned something. We are wrong about gays. I was wrong and I taught my boy wrong. It turns out that being gay is not a choice. Trust me I tried and it did'nt work.

The members of the Log Cabin Republicans did'nt choose to be gay but they did choose to be republican. Even though we used bashing them as the backbone of our last presidential election they're still sticking with us. My God, these people love America as much as they love brunch.

You know what else is a choice? Being a democrat. Democrats weren't born democrats they chose to be democrats.

Do you want manufacturers of super tight t shirts to go out of business? Would you foresake Plato and Socrates?

I'm not telling you to stop hating. I just want you to hate where hate deserves. Hate we're using on the gays is hate we could be using on the democrats. We should'nt discriminate against gays we should get more of them to be Republican.

Celebs, movie stars especially, but also singers, TV entertainers, sports stars and even some really stupid or evil people gain huge amounts of TV time and attention without much evident effort. In fact the worst of them seem to be on TV more than legitimately talented poeple. Then they are constantly interviewed on the Today, Tonight, Larry King, Oprah, etc. etc. shows. Yesterday, I turned on the Today Show and the lead story was all about OJ, getting bailed out and going to Florida. The TV network even had a helicopter flying overhead to show his attorney's car taking him the airport. How is it that our possible presidential candidates don't merit the same attention so they can tell us, without having to pay a small fortune, what they believe and would do if elected?

I was coming home from a costume party a month ago, and was dressed as a sexy policewoman. I wasn't even thinking about it, and went into a local coffee shop. When I went to pay they said "Oh no, it's on the house." It didn't even occur to me til I was driving away, that they assumed I was a real cop, and gave me free coffee. I went back 2 days later, ordered, and they gave me my meal free! So I've been back about 5 times, each time my stuff is free. Am I going to get in trouble for this? Does this count as impersonating an officer?

Why were only half the candidates taking part in the debate tonight?? Did the Clinton's pick a date that others could not make it and force it to be used for the debate?? Most people with more than a 60 IQ know all the debates are staged for Hillary and do not represent a real debate.

I am a HAPPILY married woman, to a HAPPILY married military man, are marriage is not perfect, but we do not lie, cheat, or steal from each other. I am not lazy, fat, or with my husband because its an easy way out, I do all the housework, I cry every night while I patiently wait for him to come back home, and what do I feel like society has given me? a big slap in the face! Ive heard military wives being described as fat, slutty, slobs, that use their husband for the money (what money I ask) and that we are only with them because we dont want to get a job, I work VERY hard, and I am only with a military man, because my husband is in the military, there is no glitz or glam that comes with this heartache, I have had people walk up to my husband and thank him for all he does, and at the same time they look over at me and give me a look from hell, if you really want to support my husband who is in Iraq, you would respect his family, why do so many people hate military wives? is it jealousy

someone was trying to tell me that what Bush is doing is to "make us safe" and that it's terrorists who harm us yet what would you call the soldiers whom have gone over to foreign be it this war or previous wars and killed innocent lives, does that make American soldiers terrorists? how do you view such a idea that seems somewhat similar?

The United States does not have a monarchy.

Why is it then not called a republic?

Saddam was hung for the crimes against humanity that were committed under his rule. What would happen to Bush if Iraq became a world power and invaded the US under Bush's rule?

I understand that this is a free country, and we as soldiers provide that freedom... having someone in this country treat soldiers like dirt, saddens me and tears at the soul's of soldiers, we put our life on the line so that many will live and continue having our freedom here in the United States. If you can't support and love us for what we do to provide the freedom that you enjoy so much... then feel free at anytime to stand in front of us...

I was just reading the politics section, and I can't help but notice. The people with the most violent replies are supporting the failed Bush agenda.
Why is that?

Is it not a slap on the face when the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad request for an official tour of Ground Zero while he is at the United Nations next week? Don't forget this is a president who give speeches in Teheran while his citizens chant death to americans. I think we need to get him for his dirty games he is playing in Iraq and get his behind court marshalled.
