Politics & Government - 27 September 2007

It has to do with a number of factors I believe. The first being socialist democracy. Democracy has been called "two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner" and I think it sums it up nicely.

A "hand-out" system will eventually corrupt even the best work ethic of the most respectable germanics, but for minorities it is a free-for-all. The poor will always outnumber the rich and when the poor are given the same amount of voting power as the rich it is only a matter of time until they vote themselves the national treasury. The framers of the American Constitution understood this and only allowed land-owning males the right to vote because they understood that only those who have a vested interest in the affairs of the government should have a say in government.

I find it interesting that they blame the war on Republicans, when they are the ones in power!

Well, this is your war now Dems, besides you all voted for it anyway, so, there you go! Its all yours, and so is the responsibility.

I think that if the Dems dont clean up their messes by 2008, we need to vote out the bums, and get some new leadership in the Congress. They have had enough time to fix their messes, i guess its up to the Republicans to clean it up for them, as usual..

Ok, I bought an item in a parking lot from some guy who said he needed to get rid of it. He told me they actually sell for $1000, and he even showed me a magazine with an advertisement that showed the same item and the msrp. He told me it was brand new and the box was unopened and everything. I bought it for (ahem) a high price, though at the time I thought it was a good deal being only a fraction of the retailed price. I learned later the the item actually sells for much cheaper and isn't even an item worth buying. Plus some of the things that the box claimed to have weren't even in there!

I know! It was a stupid move! But can I do something about it or it's entirely my fault and not worth reporting. I actually took down his license plate number, but I'm scared he'd come out looking for me if I actually do decide to do so. What should I do? :( !!!!

In 2003 our tax payers paid 19 billion to fight the "war", that's $600 per second 24/7/365, this year it will reach 45 billion...just do the math. Don't be fooled folks 93.6% of the "War" Money is salaries/benifits for do-nothing bureaucrats...their livelyhood depends on you and I who work in the private sector to supply them. Here's some facts: Prohibition failed..why because FREE people wanted to drink. The fact is only a tiny fraction of American do drugs...MOST 99.99% are drug-free like you and I. The one's that want to do drugs will continue to use drugs...the VAST majority won't. Some government idiots love to tell us we'll that "WE the People" can't be trusted....you'll all become DRUG-CRAZY fools if WE the BIG government allows you to put in your bodies what you want to....so we make laws and charge you 45 BILLION to enforce it! The truth is folks they are afraid they can't Tax this stuff...people grow it in their yards "if it were legal"

Can we all grow up?

"BOULDER, Colo. — About 50 Boulder High School students walked out of class Thursday to protest the daily reading of the Pledge of Allegiance and recited their own version, omitting "one nation, under God."

The students say the phrase violates the constitutional separation of church and state."

I support them. As an atheist, it is pretty arrogant of school officials to try and make people like me recite a phrase as empty and meaningless as "under God." It's something I never recited.

Shopping Walmart a few days ago with my pregnant fiance who is 9 months along and picked up a few items: cotton balls, vaseline, lotion, toothpaste, and a maternity bra. Upon checking out, I was told by the cashier she needed to see my ID because I had to be 18 or older to purchase the maternity bra, I pulled out my ID and she went ahead and rang up the items. Called Walmart the next day and questioned the store employees about this, they all said that I did not need to be 18 to purchase the bra. Now I am feeling offended and I am thinking the cashier was just being nosey and wanted to see how old my pregnant fiance and I were (we do look a little young, but not that young, we are both 23). Is there any course of action I can pursue, I am feeling VERY offended and obviously the cashier had no right to card me. I don't have the reciept nor do I remember the cashier's name. I can talk to the manager but is there any guarantee that I can get something out of it?

P.S. I paid with cash

We all remember the 2006 elections . The beating that the cons took and the promises that got the dems their victories . Every news outlet in the country acknowledged that this was a statement from the people that they wanted troop withdrawals. . . and NOW . Then of course we all remember the countless Non-Binding resolutions that many of you lauded as the first steps to the ultimate goal of troop withdrawal .
Now us cons argued two points with ya then . .. . 1 . - We should stay in Iraq and finish the job . . . . and 2. - Many of us cons made bold predictions that this was all a farce and the although the dems publicly used the anti-war message to get elected , it wasn't likely that they really meant it . We asserted that it was all done for votes .
Today , well today we now see the major dem candidates talking about troop withdrawal by 2013.. . . MAYBE .

So - Tell me something - How Are You Taking The News ?
Did Your Guys Lie Or Have You Changed Your Mind With Them ?

During the last debate Neither Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama would commit to bringing the troops home before the end of their first term. They have both insisted Pres. Bush do this "NOW."

If they have flipped now, will they fip again? And if they have flipped on National Security, what CAN you trust them on?

Honest answers only please... I'm interested in your point of view.

It seems like there's a ton of illegal immigrants here. If border patrol is so strict how do they keep getting across? What exactly is it I hear about them paying people to get them here? Do they hide in the trunk or what?? It makes no sense to me!

And if they do get caught...what then? What about the people bringing them here?

I'm not thinking of smuggling in a mexican...just curious....thanks :)

Oh, and please keep your snide bigot remarks to yourself. I take offense to them, and i am of no mexican descent. I can only imagine how they feel. You only make yourself sound stupid. You should try living on $10 a week with dirt floors and no food.

This is insanity.

I just bought four packages of hot dogs on sale. Three are good, but the fourth one expired on the 20th. Today is the 27th. So besides the obvious - don't eat them, take them back - what are my rights as a consumer? What if I didn't happen to look at the dates and they made myself or my daughter very sick? Just curious.

You know like when Charlie Chaplin left the country, and we didn't let him back until a few years before he died?
Sean Penn's antics remind me of his character in "I am Sam", totally unbeleivable.
