Other - Politics & Government - August 2007

All this running around shooting at each other, destroying cities etc... We've been at it for hundreds of thousands of years. You would think given our intelligence this would have gone out of fashion by now. In wars people die no one wins. Even as the Islam has taught America no matter what you do either your troops or your citizens will be killed, your gear and buildings will be destroyed too. No one goes without cost (See 9/11). So I say for the only race on the Earth that has come so far, our sciences and intentions are very backward. We managed to go from village hard nut leader polilcy to king to democratic leader in politics but kept the war thing going. Something is seriously wrong here dont you think?

Think about this, in the Old Testiment God is happy to kill, enslave, stone to death women who are not virgins when marry and on more than one occasion annhilates humans "Bowls of God's anger etc...". Then we find in the New Testiment due to messing up the aggressive approach, he goes to propoganda by sending Jesus his No.1 PR agent. To come and talk about peace and rewards for submitting to God. And you will get a special place in heaven approach. Now we find President Bush after bombing the hell out of nations (like the Old Testiment God) now comes with offers for Assylum seekers and money if you rat out terrorists (A special place in the US/Heaven/Rewards) and offering food, protection and oil for food programs. Scary but similar dont you think?

Did he lie about the reasons for going to war in Iraq?

The recent anti-war protests across America included calls for President Bush to be impeached for crimes against the American people.

Most senior Democrats say they don't want to impeach the president, but growing numbers of ordinary Americans and town meetings are openly calling for Congress to investigate what they say are serious crimes committed by the President and his administration.

Those calling for impeachment claim President Bush lied about the reasons for taking America to war, and violated the constitution by authorising a widespread programme to spy on ordinary citizens.

Do you support those who call for President Bush's impeachment? Would impeachment distract the country from the job of government? Or are those calling for it simply unable to accept that America voted to re-elect President Bush?

1)President Herbert Hoover believed that direct relief to the needy was the reponsiblity of local government, not the federal government.
True or False
Drect relief was proposed by Hoover??Seems not!

2) The Reconstruction Finance Corporation pumped large sums of money into nation's economy during the Great Depression.
True or False
My textbook says RFC just lent money to big companies and banks. "PUMP" seems to be a word inappropriate

The US claims protector of freedom! Claims China has a poor human rights record (Although check the UN record you will see the US record is not exactly great either), China is a communist power trying to take over the world. So... Where were you when it was attacked? I recall the US didn't even lift a finger but just a few protests outside the embassy. Now given as you claim, you are the worlds most powerful nation and as you always your media to show, China is apparently very very behind, very very poor and very very backward. Shouldnt it have been a walk in the park to go and save Tibet for the world's most technologically advanced, most rich, most righteous protectors of Freedom, Liberty and Democracy? Where were you guys?

I would like to know if it is safe to buy a lot from military officers? My husband and I are planning to buy a lot in AFPOVAI. I know this area used to be for military officers only but now they've opened it up to the public. If we buy there legally, is there any legal means that the government can take it back from us? Maybe not now but in the future?

My friend is black and white(dad-white,mom-black). Her dad and mom had a fling which resulted in her and her dad ran away. She wants nothing to do with her white ancestry even though her mom wants her to be more accepting of it because she's mixed race. Well her legal papers say biracial and she wants to change it to African American. The Government won't let her because her skin is too light and she has too many caucasian features so they want to leave it biracial. She is really mad about this. What could she do about this, and why would the government deny her to change her ethnicity to African American?

It was easy, I told her about the fairtax and sent her to fairtax.org and let her know that Ron Paul was going to close down the IRS and eliminate a bunch of these bs taxes we have now. She said if he will get rid of the IRS I am ready to support him, so that goes to show you how much people dispise the IRS and the crazy intanglement that is our tax system.

When we got there we wanted to play a prank.

soo my friend got this idea to honk the horn of somebody's car.

so we went up to this car and he told me i was the one to go in and i said no ,but i was kinda close to the car.

all of a sudden we were all laughing and joking and they pushed me in and shut the door.

i was looking all over the car for the door handle trying to get out ,but i couldnt find it.

i accidentally touched the glove box. is that bad?

then they ran and and old lady came out and got me.

they called the cops and we all went home with him.

the old couple is taking us to court does anyone know the worst they could do?

I wanted to share how bad I feel for voting for Bush. When i voted for bush i
beleived he
was a uniter and not a divider. i beleived Bush would heal America. I beleived
bush would
keep us safe. I belived Bush stood for good Christian values. I believed so many
things
about Bush.
Now i see that America is so dvided. I see that Bush started a war in Iraq and
so many
Americans have died from his war. I see so much spending. I see
so many
tings that Bush has done to hurt America.
I am so sorry. Sometimes i actually can;t sleep at night. I think about how evil
Bush is and
how many lies he told us. I feel like a stupid idiot for trusting Bush. It makes
me cry when i
think of how many peole my age are dieing in Iraq.
I am so sorry to America. I was blind and I let Bush fool me. He is not a
Christian but he is
so evil. Only a evil person would hide ehind god and kill so many people in
Iraq. I am so
sorry and sad. I feel like i am responsible for Bush being president.

Why does this statement only apply to the American people.

If this is what our government is telling us, shouldn't they be held to the same standards?

Why scream executive privilege if there is nothing to hide?

I mean what's good for the goose.....well you know.

There are many suggestion in the past: Stop helping other countries with their problems, pull our troops out of foreign land, stricter immigration laws, reduce illegal aliens, tax the rich not the poor, reduce spending and borrowing within U.S. , stricter spending laws, a governemnt within a government to oversee unnecessary programs. There are so many arguments towards those suggestion but they have either been implemented and not worked or has been deemed inappropriate. What can we do to prevent more taxation? Are we doomed to have tax problem until the end of time?

Personally, I think it's just another of their stupid mantras designed to get the ignorant and unworldly worked up about nothing at all.

For those of your in the ignorant and unworldly camp, I invite you to do a bit of research and discover just who is paying just how much in federal income taxes. I guarantee you that you will be surprised after all the blather on the subject that the left hands out decade after decade.

Just to whet your interest a bit, about 35% of tax returns filed show that no tax is owed on the declared income. By this I mean that no matter how much income is declared on the tax return, the filer of the return owes no tax on any of the income. And, no, it isn't "the rich" that are filing these no-tax returns - don't even go there!

Now, THAT'S a perfect place to start the conversation regarding fairness. Is it fair that a third of taxpayers pay no federal income tax at all? I don't think so!
