Politics & Government - 15 October 2007

The Democrats, as a political party, made the choice to support slavery and oppose civil rights.

This continued well after the civil war with the party lobbying with the KKK to establish the House Un-American Activities Committee(HUAC, the "commie blacklisters") which was never abolished and only changed it's name to the House Judiciary Committee in the 70s.

In fact even as the party began shifting policies through the 40's and into the 60s the majority of Democrats still opposed the 1964 Civil Rights act.

Before anyone starts claiming "Southern Democrats" please remember that both New York State and California nearly seceded from the union to join the Confederacy and that Democrats in New York City protested the Civil War by lynching blacks from street lamps.

We are conquerors, not a united group of states. We destroyed and killed those who lived here before us. Why would we claim otherwise? We preach peace and democracy and freedom when it fits our mood. But the birth of our very nation was carved out of the blood and souls of those undeserving victims who came before us. Why do we lie to ourselves? Aren't we just another empire like the many in history before us?

Do we continue to expand ourselves? Why are we fighting now?

To keep it general:

I ordered a product from a national brand from a web site.

It was a health product.

I payed.

It isn't medicine, it's a type of health product I could buy at a vitamin/supplement/whole food store.

I got the right product. But I bought it because of the ingredients. The ingredients listed were wrong - they misrepresented the product.

Even after calling they haven't yet changed the web page.

I have the product, they want me to send it back and to give me a voucher for later.

Sounds like fraud to me, if a woman can walk into McDonnalds and get 350 grand for ordering chicken nuggets when they were advertized on the board and them being out, and her suing them, then I can get something done if it's only change.

Who should I go to with specifics?

What kind of fraud or whatever is this, if you know already?

Thank you very much.

How should I get my money?

1) Call the person and say I'm getting an estimate and to cut me a check?
2) Call the person's insurance and tell them to write me a check?

Which one? Because if one or the other doesn't happen in then next 5 days, I'm going in for a hospital visit because my "back" is starting to hurt.

I totally oppose Turkey because it is not in Europe. I despise EU leaders for trying to get Turkey in anway. Turkey must be kept out (and they must stop the occupation of Kurdistan).

Partly it’s a reaction to what happened in 2000, when the American people chose Mr. Gore but his opponent somehow ended up in the White House. Both the personality cult the right tried to build around President Bush and the often hysterical denigration of Mr. Gore were, I believe, largely motivated by the desire to expunge the stain of illegitimacy from the Bush administration.

And now that Mr. Bush has proved himself utterly the wrong man for the job — to be, in fact, the best president Al Qaeda’s recruiters could have hoped for — the symptoms of Gore derangement syndrome have grown even more extreme.
