Politics & Government - 7 October 2007

I know it's been ruled that way. But can anyone point to the provision of the Constitution that entitles the federal government to set up this enormous retirement and disability insurance system?

In simple terms, how could the courts have held this to be constitutional?

youve seen all the controversy, youve seen all the videos. You've heard all the michael moors in the world talk about how 9-11 was planned by the goverment. But for the millionth time let me just say, 9-11 was planned by the goverment!! But why, you ask, do we keep saying to ourselves that it was the mean old terrorist who did this to our country. That it was omebody elses fault. Its because were afraid. Afraid of admitting that our own country, our own goverment, would plan out a huge massacre on our own people. Were afraid of admitting that our country is as evil and corrupt as any other country and would take extreme measures to get what it wants. All we people do about this matter is talk and protest. Well let me just say the the govement is not afraid of us talking or protesting. to them were just numbers. everything may be a lie, the only truth about that day is the death of millions innocent americans. So i ask you my friends, have we forgotten, or have we forgivin?

this story, "AUSTIN, Texas — Against his doctor's advice, a stooped and feeble Sen. Mario Gallegos arrives at the Texas legislature each day, just to make sure lawmakers do not take up a bill requiring voters to show identification proving they are not illegal immigrants." appeared on foxnews.com. (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,274774,00.html?sPage=fnc.specialsections/immigration )

to me, it should be in the mainstrwam media. The main reason that democrats are so opposed to showing any form of ID while voting is that they are wanting those illegal votes. After all, if a person needs ID to get welfare (and they do!) then why can't they show it to vote?

What good does trying to vote these creeps out of office do if they are getting illegal votes to stay in office? Why aren't they being prosecuted for voter fraud?

One interesting sidenote: the senator sounds like a hero, struggling with his life just to be there to block this bill- until you read at the very bottom of the article that he needed the liver transplant in the first place because of his own alcoholism. No pity for him from these quarters!!!

Think of it this way considering the conditions many illegals lived in previously do you think denying them access to health care drivers licenses or education going to make them self deport. Isn't the only way to get illegals to self deport by denying them access to jobs and money. Do you think these laws that deny illegals things like drivers licenses really useless.

In the spirit of "democracy", would the US allow them back in?

I mean, if they're VOTED in, you HAVE to let them govern... Otherwise the US government would be branded as the biggest hypocrites of all time?

So... What if a Taliban party propped itself up and was elected?

i just got done with my meps physical/medical exam and i was disqualified because of my hearing. they tested me twice for my hearing just to make sure and i still scored bad. but it was obvious to them that i didnt really have a big problem with my hearing while i was talking to the doctor and everyone eles that was testing me at the meps. so what happen was this one army sergeant that works at the meps station said that he will get me a waiver. but the question stuck in my mind is that if its a bad thing? i mean its obvious i can hear and have no problem with it. will it disqualify me for some jobs or completely? what are my chances of getting into the army because of this?

in large cargo planes, are the planes carrying other cargo or wounded military personel, or are they being used expressly for the transport of the dead soldier and his/her escort?
If the latter is the case, it seems like a waste of transport, time and manpower.
Make no mistake, North America is at war in the Middle East and those planes must surely have some purpose other than just performing hearse duties.
During the first and second world wars, the dead were laid to rest in the country where they fell.
Today's soldiers deserve nothing more than those of previous wars, they gave nothing more, they showed no more heroism.
