What if they start looking for illegals who are European or African? Will YOU be happy to be detained for DAYS maybe WEEKS while they sort out who's legal or not? Remember..Documents can be forged so they can't just look at your ID's and let you go.

I work in a hospital, the surgical waiting area. The policy is, to validate the parking tickets, of the family members, of the patients, who are having surgery on that day. Not the day before. Only the day of surgery. This particular gentleman felt I should have validated his ticket because his aunt was having surgery, but it wasn't scheduled until the next day, he was just visiting her. I explained hospital policy to him, tried to give him information about purchasing a parking pass, he did not want it. His response was, you should change your policy. He then said he has a relative on the board of directors, and wanted my name, so he could report, my behavior to this person. I feel I've done nothing wrong, some of my co-workers, said they would have just stamped his ticket just to shut him up. What would you have done?

In the article above, Bush says that "Democrats in Congress" have decided to pass a bill they know will be vetoed.

However, the bill has pretty widespread Republian support, too.

But the President knows he can't win a fight based on facts, so he's got to resort to tugging at party strings.

I'm sick of him. Are you?

Hi. For school, I need to write a speech on illegal immigration. I am pretty clueless to the topic, and am in need of research. Basically, the 'prompt' for the speech is "Immigration: Your Solution." Very vague, which is why I need some help to spark my speech and get me started. Any ideas?

I'm most interested in hearing what dyed-in-the-wool liberals think. What is standing between you and the achievement of your dreams?

And while I think that I know what your dreams are it would also be useful if you could articulate them for me so I can better understand the things you see standing between you and your dreams.

My friend got busted with 8 or 9 full grown plants that were ready to be harvested and had approx. 50 other plants from seedlings up to about a foot tall.
What is the best and worst case scenario? He was told he may get it reduced to a misdemeanor, 5 years probation and a fine of maybe 20 grand, and probably no jail time, does this sound possible? This is his first offense of any kind.
Thanks!

I overwhelmingly think he should be welcomed for the following reasons:

1. It gives us a perfect opportunity to show him what good people we are.

2. It gives us a perfect opportunity to show the entire world that we do actually believe in free speach.

3. It gives us a perfect opportunity to show him how being friends with us gains him a lot more than being enemies.

4. It gives us a perfect opportunity to look in his eyes and see if he really means what he says or if he's a bullshit artist.

5. It gives us a perfect opportunity to learn about him.

6. It gives us a perfect opportunity to understand him better if he is truly our enemy.

7. It gives us a perfect opportunity to ask tough questions.

In conclusion, if we deny him an introduction to America what is he going to say, "My fellow Iranians, I tried to go to America, but all 300 million of them were afraid of me."

Is that what your choice would be?

Considering Marvin Bush ran security for the trade center.

Considering Blackwater is providing arms so that an eney can actually fight (perpetuate the war).

Considering Alberto Gonzales personally pressured a sick Ashcroft for the Pariot act.

Considering Diabold rigged election machines 2 elections in a row.

Considering there never was any reason to go to Iraq.

Considering Tillman was a total coverup.

Considering Jessica Lynch was a total lie to rally republican support.

Any president to be republican or democrat would rightfuly investigate Bush. Just for integrity of the constituuion and the country.

To date Bush plays his little "executive privilage" game. So after Bush is no longer the president he can't use his "executive privilage" scam.

So what really will Bush do to prevent being investigated? At all costs, what will bush do to stop any sensible president to be from investigating all the lies, crimes, disregard for the constitution, etc?

How long does federal tax revenue have to increase at 4 times the rate of inflation before the Left admits that tax rates and tax revenue are interrelated, that there IS a Laffer Curve, and that these particular tax cuts have in fact worked?

but also federally funded? One court case set the standard for the ENTIRE country, no matter what the people felt. 9 individuals made this decision for the whole country...I think the people should have a say through electing their representatives (you know, the way the constitution says?)...I honestly don't care what the end result of that would be, just that it is done properly...
Second, do they not realize that our income taxes would go toward abortion if it were federally funded? So even those who are morally against abortion would then be paying for them...Why is that okay with you? Because you got what you wanted? Because they are "wrong" to feel that way?

I just want to know what the rationale is.
Thanks!

of how far behind the times we are here in the U.S. Based on this article, you have to ask yourself, "Is this what our U.S. inner cities should be modeled after?"

Amsterdam draws curtain on sex industry as red light windows close.
A few exerpts:
The district is a magnet for petty criminals and, authorities believe, human traffickers, drug lords and mobsters - who take advantage of the situation to launder money.

The move is part of Mayor Job Cohen's efforts to counter that crime.
"What we do want is to get rid of the underlying criminality," said Cohen.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=483075&in_page_id=1811
Is this really the progressive U.S. that people want? Don’t we have enough crime in our cities as it is, without adding to it?

It's not a question of ends, it's a question of means.

Either government's role is not merely to protect and preserve liberty, or it is to usurp it, to trample on it. You cannot possibly draw distinctions among the ENDS for which it may do this - because (1) those distinctions are subjective - they are merely the ideals that any individual might have, and (2) ALL such proposed objectives will simply be represented as "for the children" or "for the good of the whole" - those phrases become meaningless (they already have) and pretty soon it's just a feeding frenzy, people become less focused on creating wealth than on taking it from others, and then there is less to go around.

Freedom and wealth creation go hand in hand, folks.
