Government - July 2007

I moved to Virginia, and they call it a commonwealth state. I haven't found out what it means and how its different from being a regular state.

These days there are lots of concerns about the Bush Admin. violating Constitutional protections in its War on Terror. The argument that it's for our own protection can be very persuasive to many people. The question is: what sacrifice is it worth to keep to the tenets of this 200 year old document. Our elected officials take a oath to defend it, but someone saying: 'If I have to violate the Constitution to defend the American people, then by God I'll do it', would also find many supporters. If we give up the Constitution for the sake of 'safety', are we still America?

I have a friend who thinks Condoleezza Rice is really attractive. I, on the other hand, think the exact opposite (with all due respect to the lady). This question is stupid and unimportant, but I'm curious to hear (see) what you think.

U S veterans of the Iraqi war have to sue the officials of the Veteran's Affairs over disability pay and medical care. How many times have the cons said, "democrats don't support our troops"? Is this how this administration supports them? Is the picture becoming clearer to you right-wingers? This kind of neglect of our wounded veterans is unforgiveable!

In 1960 when John F.Kennedy became President of the USA. His Roman Catholic beliefs were a topic that seemed important. The fact that no Roman Catholic had become president before. His beliefs were used against him by fellow president hopefuls. Should the held against Mitt Romney who is a Mormon? Should Roman Catholic beliefs more welcomed then Mormons for the White House,president of the USA, and ruler of the free world? Should these beliefs even be relivate to the President of the USA?

A recent poll showed that 41% of people surveyed would support government censorship on the radio and 34% would support government censorship on the internet.

I guess it goes to show that some folks believe in liberty, just so long as it is only afforded to them and those who agree with them. It's a shame. Once we sell out over our First Amendment rights in order to 'get at' people on the radio we might disagree with, all bets are off. The government is then free to bury our free expression under whatever propaganda they see fit.

The whole world looks down at India to be illtreating and never considering Women to be equal!! - Especially based on some fake reports by the UN which has nothing except a bunch of Fanatic Feminists and a bunch of Eunuchs!!

Today India has a Woman Prez - Does US have one? How about France, Italy and others where these Fanatic Feminists sit and encourage the Fanatics in India.

I pay city, county, state and federal taxes, and then pay sales tax, gas tax, phone tax, electric tax, and tolls (and that's just the tip of the iceberg). Where in the world is all this money going???? The Federal budget is 3 trillion alone!!! Don't say George Bush because this has been in the works for decades! There are way too many people collecting from the government in one capacity or another. The Democrats want to RAISE taxes!!!! WHAT??? How about cutting half the crap!!!

".....According to their marketing material, the ID Sniper Rifle™ is used to implant a GPS-microchip in the body of a human being, using a high powered sniper rifle as the long distance injector. This micro chip enters the body and remains there without causing any internal damage. The manufacturer says the process brings little physical pain as the micro chip enters the body of an unsuspecting huma n, similiar to a mosquito bite lasting just a fraction of a second. At the same time this occurs, a digital camcorder with a zoom-lense fitted within the scope will being to take a high-resolution picture of the target. The target in this case is a human being...."
