Other - Politics & Government - April 2007

I came from a poor family. I joined the Navy, I got out, used my military benefits and got 3 degrees while working full time. Married a Lawyer and now live well. I could have chosen to remain poor but I refused to. It was because of the governments generosity that I have so much today. It is something anyone can do.

There is overwhelming evidence that Bush and his klan have committed numerous crimes against humanity and is undoubtedly guilty of numerous impeachable acts. Why doesn't the House of Reps, the only government entity capable of impeachment, do something about this rogue administation?

What is done concerning dishonesty and is this the only documentation presented to the public concerning statistics on mental disability ~ men who refuse to support their families ~ those who have formed a habit of living off public tax dollars? I am interested in where our tax dollars are going any others wondering the same?

I know we all have our differences...but one thing I can say about most that are on here, is that at least we care enough to come here and *****...

Even if we know that our government doesn't care or listen to us...at least we can come here and be with other people who feel the same way. Even if we don't all agree on the issues...we ALL still know that it's messed up.

I hope you all have a great day!!

With the majority of people now having internet access ... should we look to realign the democratic process so each of us can vote on specific house bills?

Face it, our democratic system was largely formed as a representative system because it wasn't practical to have all Americans vote at the house and senate level to pass laws and so forth. Now that we have mass communication vehicles that could allow all Americans instant access to the voting process ... shouldn't we consider altering how laws are passed? Maybe we could eliminate our representatives simply by creating a vehicle that allows each of us to represent ourselves.

How come stupid democrats are always insulting Southerners
calling them stupid and illiterate but are championing the cause of Hillary who is a stupid, illiterate southerner?

So Hillary, being a snake, has forsaken her roots and is repackaging herself as a sophisticated New Yorker?

Is not Hillary a Green Acres in reverse?

the public schools system in this country is abismal. they take a bunch of tax and federal money, but that mostly lines the teachers and administrators pockets (at least in my town, when we vote more money to schools, teachers strike for pay raises) i think the schools are a joke, im homeschooling my children, and yes i have a teaching degree, or will when she starts my classes.....

i just think that maybe the money would be better spent on defense or something else...because the liberal garbage that they are filling our children with isnt even knowledge............and all that money, down the toilet. our children are our future.....so maybe they deserve better than the current system..../

thoughts?

teachers in my area make almost 50k a year...cops make less than 35.............and mpost of the kids in my area run into cops more than their teachers, lol...

What do you think is the biggest threat to our country? PLEASE think before you answer! I would really like to avoid getting a dozen answers saying "George Bush" and another dozen answers saying "liberals". Please think about it and THEN answer if you would please. Thanks!

MY OPINION: Socialism. I think socialism is the biggest threat to our country. More than terrorists, more than rogue nations, and more than Communist China or North Korea, I think the biggest threat to our country is coming from within. Americans seem all to willing to pay higher taxes in exchange for more benefits (social security, medicare, medicade, welfare, unemployment, and now universal health coverage). What's next? Higher taxes in exchange for free food? Free housing? When will it end??? 100 years ago this country had the largest middle class, no national debt, we weren't world police, and there were over 45 taxes that we pay today that we didn't pay back then. What the hail happened???

Where are the ACLU and other special interest groups?

Shouldn't they be trying to stop this destruction and separation of families like they are for the "migrants" that are being deported?

Where is the public outcry for THESE children???

Why do they only care about the children of the "migrants"...what about those that are CITIZENS?

By law Evil King Herod declared that Innocent children should be killed. Like wise by rule of law the Decent and Innocent of the US will be destroyed by those who propose our laws.

By rule of law the Innocent and the vulnerable are aborted every day so no you can not protect your grand children from being destroyed.

By rule of law you can not seek a place to live with others you feel safe with, as this is discrimination so your life and the lives of your loved ones as well as all of your possessions are at the whim of whom ever wishes to live in your neighborhood and the law will provide them the money to do so.

By rule of law no you can not protect the borders of your country , you must allow others to take your jobs and your life away.

And Now the Democratic Congress is back into action again and wants to stop our military from protecting America as a whole by stopping them from doing there job.

America do you get it yet?

The argument being he does not because he can't have a kid. I know this a logical fallacy, but I can't remember which one... maybe ad hominem? My argument that life begins at conception is not valid because I am a man. Yes, ad hominem. Opinions?

I say yes. Abortion is not about a 'woman's right', it is about the death of a living being, whom I will call an unborn child and some people call 'fetus'. I do not believe WE have the right to tell a woman she MUST have a kid. I believe WE have the right to tell her she CAN'T kill a kid.

There are all manner of birth control out there. I know a girl that has had two abortions. Why? There is no need for it.

Anti-abortion is not anti-choice; that choice needs to be made prior to sex (which is the act that causes pregnancy).

Anti-abortion is not about 'men subjugating women' it is about a state or a country or a people protecting a vulnerable segment of the population, unborn children.

when I ran for secretary, my slogan was "make the WRITE choice" b/c my job is to write... :) Thanks for all your help :)
