Politics & Government - 21 November 2007

The church actually has insurance policies to protect it against the kinds of law suits. The leadership has knowingly moved active pediphiles to different parishes, they deny, deny and dny, while behind closed doors, they openly discuss the issues brought about by this a-moral behavior. I bet that there will be someone who responds this post that will condone the behavior and make an excuse for their lack of interest in protecting our children.

Dick Cheney said, "Reagan proved deficits don't matter."

A deficit is defined as the government spending more in a year than it takes in.

So, do you agree with Cheney that it's okay for the government to increase the debt every year?

I served for four years on Active Duty which included a deployment to Iraq for a year. About a year after being Honorably Discharged I went into the Active Reserves to finish up my required 8 years. About four months after that I received a 30% service-connected disability rating from the VA for PTSD(Post-Traumatic Stress Dissorder). Does anyone know if I can get a medical discharge or any other type of discharge from the reserves because of this? The only reason I went back in to the active reserves was because I wanted to change my MOS before they tried to send me to Iraq once again. Anyone know what I can do?

They have stolen the land of the Palestinians, Driven them into Concentration camps, Shoot on site 100's of their children, built a wall to separate them from their humble farms and olive groves, schools and Hospitals.

Bulldozed their homes and built Jewish Settlements in their place.....Or just destroyed them while they are inhabited..murdering many.

Illegally occupied their land and property, destroyed, pissed and excreted ( literally ) on their historical and social records...

Set up checkpoints ( which I have seen ) where dozens of Palestinian women die, miscarry or give birth as they are refused to attend hospitals.

Humiliate Palestinians in their own land. As the Nazis did to them....Imprint numbers on their arms....

Carry out a systemic policy of GENOCIDE.

Refuse access to 1000's more Palestinians in need of Medical Treatment Cut of supplies of medicines, food and equipment to Gaza...To where they have been driven into Squalor, abject Poverty and constant Fear and Terror from Israel.

Destroyed their economy and made them slaves of Israel without the rights of an Israeli Jew or even a dog.

Continuously use Snipers, Tanks, Helicopter Gunships, F-16s and heavy artillery against impoverished people ( thanks to Israel ) Target women and Children with sniper power, shot down Palestinian protesters who are armed with stones who are only asking for 22% of their land back.....and who have offered that the Jews can keep 78% of what they have stolen.

But sadly the Israelis want it ALL because YHWE promised it to them.

There are too many unspeakable atrocities that the Israelis commit daily. If Americans really new what is going on they would want to Invade Israel to save the Palestinians who are the rightful owners of Israel. ( Palestine ).

Half my family is Jewish..BTW....I'm ashamed to say...Yes they suffered in the Holocaust but did that need to make them become the Nazis of the Middle East.

Here is a quick one... If people are so against hanging religious symbols on Govt. buildings because they pay tax for those buildings, Can I force welfare homes to take down all their religious symbols? I pay tax on their house too. Why would it only work one way?

He is accused of not doing anything to act against terrorism, yet:

1. He fired missiles at al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and was criticized by Republicans for only trying to distract from Monica

2. He destroyed a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan that the CIA suspected to be processing VX nerve gas, and although that information is now debatable, how does this attempt at stopping deadly chemical attacks show that Clinton was soft on terror?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Infinite_Reach

3. The USS Cole bombing, the last al Qaeda attack before 9/11, was not determined to be al Qaeda's doing until AFTER Bush took office yet he did nothing until 9/11.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cole_bombing#Consequences_and_after-effects

If you choose to ignore these facts and talk about how Clinton was "handed bin Laden on a silver platter but turned him down," you must provide the evidence for this ridiculous claim (and no, "Rush told me" doesn't count).

Working for a very large mining Co, I know that all mining Co's just want to rip everything out of the ground and not value add in any way in Australia. Everyone knows we can't compete on finished product but if all bauxite, iron ore, nickle ore etc was just value added to steel, aluminium etc, Our problem wouldn't be unemployment but employment and that's the sign of a booming economy. BHP is trying to find a way out of value adding at the Olympic Dam project and we only hear of the SA Gov't opposing them. Where's JH? China's long term plans are finished product, so we should be taking advantage of that and working with Chinese companies to establish steel mills, aluminium smelters etc. We have proven that we can be more than competitive in this area, so why hasnt either party done something about it. We would also be ensuring that these processes are done with much less impact on the environment.
