Politics & Government - 1 October 2007

Can someone explain this to me - didn't major Democrats last week come out and say we'll be in Iraq at least till 2012 or 2013 or whatever year they said?

Doesn't this set up liberals who dine at the table of Air America and moveon dor org thought for not supporting the Hillary and other corporate whores?

More specifically, I ask this:

It's been discovered that an anti-war "combat veteran" has been exposed as a fraud. He washed out of training, was never in Iraq, and his stories of atrocities by US soldiers are absolutely fabricated. There have been other similar cases as well - people falsely claiming to be in the military when they seek out the media. A radio commentator has pointed this out.

Do you:

(A) Decry the propaganda and lies of this phony soldier, whose words have already been translated into Arabic and been carried to our enemies in Iraq and elsewhere?

or

(B) Criticize the host for publicizing this by twisting his words into a statement that was never made, without bothering to even mention (much less criticize) the actions of this phony soldier?

Please answer A or B, and give your political affiliation/philosophy.

Thanks.

The Editorial noted above is liberal garbage!
1. This is a study on URBAN blacks
2. These kids come from liberal-bought-and-paid-for "families" who see children as a meal ticket. I DEFY you to find a married inner city mom in this study. They don't exist.
3. Parents do not teach VALUES and MORALS in the inner city of Milwaukee. That is why 12 year old drug dealers and mothers are not the exception but the norm.
4. There were articles in the past about parents who did not send their children to school because they did not know where the school was or how to sign them up!!! How come suburban parents know how to do this?

HOW DO WE FIX THIS WITHOUT THROWING MORE MONEY AT THEM FOR...FREE EVERYTHING...when we see it is not working?

I was watching the TODAY show this morning and they were talking about the Supreme Court and the issues it was going to have to deal with like gun laws.

One issue in particular was that voters will now have to show their IDs in order to cast their vote. Some argue against this, saying that it would be a disadvantage for the elderly, minorities and the poor.

How EXACTLY is having an ID a disadvantage for these three groups? If you are an American citizen, shouldn't you have an ID anyway? A drivers' license? a state-issued ID?

I appreciate the answers.

My daughter is 16 as of 3/6/91 and her boyfriend (who lied and said he was 1 yr older than her) turned out to be 20 as of 9/26/07. We never liked the "hood rat" since day 1 but knew that as teens the more you keep them away, the more they want. She's 2 yrs behind in school due to truancy skipping high school to go to Newark, NJ projects to be with him. 3 weeks ago, told us she's pregnant (confirmed it next day took her to our doctor) and he's the dad. She's determined to keep the baby, and we're determined to see whatever remedy under the Law we have to prosecute. Most likely able to get ahold of IM's (we keep chat logs unknown to them) and email showing they had a sexual relationship when she was only 15(since NJ's AOC is 16). If not statutory rape is here, can we at minimum charge "contributing to the delinquency of a minor". We've got to do something, we've tried for the past 2 yrs to keep him away but we see what that did.

Liberals get all bent out of shape when these 'socialist' paradises critisize us. Saddam is dead! Deal with it already!

One of my white wine swilling liberal professors opined "France doesn't invade other countries".

Another said "Canada has FREE healthcare, FREE this, FREE that."

Are Conservatives the only ones left who think the USA is the best country on God's Green Earth?

No offense to Europe or Canada, but you can have your systems of ultra high taxes, gutted military's and Giant Nanny States that wake you up and tuck you into bed at night!

No amount of alteration of the tax code will reduce government spending. The real problem is NOT how taxes are raised but that government spends too much in the first place. Cut government spending first and the tax burden will diminish. Why rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic? The ship is still sinking.

I have come to adopt political libertarianism after careful consideration of our current political quagmire. Greater and greater government interference in daily life--personal, commercial, and other spheres, and greater and greater government intervention abroad, has ended up creating more problems than it has solved.

Every time government "fixes" something, it exacts a price in the form of demanding more control over our lives, at that moment, or later. Thus, I have concluded that the solution is to pull government back, to increase our personal liberties.

But when I communicate with others who likewise claim to support personal liberty, I am met with all manner of idiocy--conspiracy freaks, people who worship gold like some sort of God, people who think that increasing liberty requires exterminating Muslims or some other minority, and far more neoconfederate scum than I thought ever existed.

Am I the only non-insane libertarian?
