Other - Politics & Government - August 2006

For the record, I'm a staunch conservative and I despise Bush.

Do people out there really think Bush is conservative? How so? He's expanding the power of the federal government, specifically his particular office, like no other president I know of. The Patriot Act alone grants so much power it's scary. His whole "moral" platform fell flat on its face as Bush hasn't done a single moral thing in his whole presidency.

It's just amazing to me how people will read the label, but never look to see what's inside.

If you are a conservative and like Bush, please do explain how you think he is conservative. I'd love to hear this...

Yes, we can all do our own research on Yahoo, Google and Wikipedia. BUT where this site excels is that you can get people who have specialized knowledge and/or are motivated to respond to present their case.

I'm not asking whether the Iraq war was justified or not. I'm not asking if Bush is a good president or not.

All I ask is to provide the best evidence - quote and link, preferably - where Bush or a member of his administration said Iraq was behind 9/11.

Thanks.

Since 60 per month per 100,000 soldiers in Iraq
die from guns; and since 80.6 deaths per month
by guns in D.C. per 100,000 people - then are
20% more likely to be shot and killed in our U.S.
Capitol with their strict gunlaws than in Iraq?

...also known as the war on drugs, has turned much of Central and South America into violent hell holes controlled by gangsters. Why were Americans able to see that alcohol prohibition was responsible for an explosion in organized crime and the violence that comes with it, and so repealed prohibition, but can not see that the exact same outcome has happened with drug prohibition? Is keeping your neighbor from getting high in his living room really worth the cost of the lives destroyed and the chaos that results from such a futile and ill conceived assault on freedom?

Read this:
"Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing war crimes by deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure in Lebanon.
The human rights group says attacks on homes, bridges, roads and water and fuel plants were an "integral part" of Israel's strategy in the recent war.The pattern, scope and scale of the attacks makes Israel's claim that this was 'collateral damage', simply not credible," said Kate Gilmore, Executive Deputy Secretary General of Amnesty International. The document details what it describes as "massive destruction by Israeli forces of whole civilian neighbourhoods and villages", together with attacks on bridges "in areas of no apparent strategic importanceIt also says Israel targeted supermarkets, water pumping stations and water treatment plants, which may have broken a prohibition in humanitarian law against targeting objects crucial to civilian survival."
Now tell me why i should sympathise for them israelis??????

the Baltimore Sun published an unsigned editorial on August 15, 2006, entitled, “An Imperfect Cease-Fire,” dealing with Israel’s unjust invasion of Lebanon, which took the lives of over 1,100 Lebanese and left a million of its people, one third of the nation, homeless; along with tens of billions in damages. It must have been ghostwritten by Sen. Joe Lieberman, a flaming Likudnut. It stated, contrary to all the well-know facts: “Israel was dragged into this war by Hezbollah in early July.”

Offering such an absurd opinion is like arguing that Israel was “dragged into” attacking a clearly identified USS Liberty, on June 8, 1967, and killing 34 of its crew, because it couldn’t stand any state of the art intelligence vessel, flying the American flag, and sailing in international waters, 14 miles off the Sinai coast. The Israelis’ dubious excuse for that murderous assault was that it thought the USS Liberty was an out-of-service Egyptian horse carrier transport boat, El Quseir. (5) If anyone expects to read the truth about a habitually-deceiving Israel, vis-à-vis the Middle East, don’t look to the Baltimore Sun’s editorial page to find it. (6) By the way, talking about proportionality, if Israel can destroy Lebanon because two of its soldiers were captured, what should the U.S. have done to the Zionist state for slaughtering 34 of her bravest sons and injuring 174 more on the USS Liberty?

Should we continue to stand idly by while our leaders accept bribes from corporations to vote in their favor? SHould we allow others to undermine the very freedoms we have cherished? I say we should rise up and fight a government that is slipping out of the peoples hands. We fought to free ourselves from a monarchy and now in its place we have created our own version. I am tired of listening to a president that wants to boss us around. I say we stand up and declare in one voice what WE want!!!!

- War-haters oppose Hilary, because she supports the Iraqi, and Israeli wars

- Republicans despise her, because she's very liberal

- Men despise her, because she's a feminist

- Conservative women despise her, because she's a liberal feminist

- Pro-lifers despise her, because she supports abortion.

- Many are tired of the Bush/Clinton era.

- Her strongest supporters are feminists, pro-choicers, and homosexuals. Yet, they even agree and disagree on certain topics, (such as the wars).


Does she really have any chance of nomination/election?

In the course of my job, I was in a gentleman's home this morning. When I was done repairing his equipment, he proceeded to lean up against the door (sending a clear message that he didn't want me to leave) and ask me a series of questions to determine whether or not I was intelligent, brave, and principled enough to learn about the worldwide conspiracy he was investigating. He had a Glock on his hip, and his hand kept fiddling with the snap on the holster. He seemed very nervous. I told him what he wanted to hear.

I spent the next hour and a half agreeing wholeheartedly that, sure, there's a massive plan in place to brainwash the entire US into accepting martial law as a surrogate for its own Constitution and keeping the Skull-and-Bones kids running the world perpetually, and that in the next two years I would be called upon by men fighting the Good Fight to take up arms against our governmental oppressors.

Can anybody maybe explain their take on this without waving a gun at me?

Heres the thing though guys, I am not asking to be paid for any of the hours that are hand written, I stamped my timecard in the timeclock on the days that I worked over. So they do have a legal timeclock stamp for the hours that I am being refused. The punch in time is wrote in but the punch out time in stamped.
