Other - Politics & Government - August 2007

I'm not trying to be mean or speak ill of people but it seems like the Democrats are more intrested in bringing down bush and our soldiers than bringing down al queida. Also, have you ever tried to testify to a liberal about accepting Christ into your heart? They always say 'NO'! Hmm, I wonder if this has anything to do with why they are against the war on terror???

Consider the losers of WW2, Germany and Japan most notable, the real starters of this war. Now we see Germany much richer than the UK and basically running the EU from its ball bags. We also see Japan as the second richest nation on the earth with share points that are 14,000+ against the DOW Jones which is 9000+. So... Did we really win? Or lose in the long run? Because right now in the economic show of things they're certainly not losers! Dont you think?

France didn't win anything but got crushed during WW2? They also hold other monuments like Nepoleon's monuments etc... This nation seems to have monuments of victory commemorating events of their losses! Noticed that?

unattractive to Americans who would want to teach. I am NOT saying foreign teachers are not as good, and many do have a great command of English, but if you go to a teacher's workshop in Miami, you'd be shocked at some of the "English" the teachers are speaking. I don't know how they passed the essay test.

the Green party can replace it.
no taxes, wars, poor public schools and Hedge funds are a recipe for disaster!
the rich get richer but the circle shrinks as the wealth grows for the few, then the end arrives. Don't need Republicans!

Protect America Act passed the House and the Seante.

"The House passed this bill which would temporarily expand the executive branch’s authority to spy on suspected foreign terrorists without a court order, when communications are passing through the U.S."

"The Senate passed this bill which would temporarily expand the executive branch’s authority to spy on suspected foreign terrorists without a court order, when communications are passing through the U.S."

Is this constitutional?

In June of 2005, Rehnquist wrote the plurality opinion upholding the constitutionality of a display of the Ten Commandments at the Texas state capitol in Austin. The case was Van Orden v. Perry.

Rehnquist wrote:

Our cases, Janus (mythology) like, point in two directions in applying the Establishment Clause. One face looks toward the strong role played by religion and religious traditions throughout our Nation's history....The other face looks toward the principle that governmental intervention in religious matters can itself endanger religious freedom.

This decision was joined by Justices Scalia, Thomas, Breyer, and Kennedy.

What are your thoughts?

Is everyone willing to drop the "PC" BS and report ANY suspicious activity they see? Or are you willing to let your neighbor and their children die because you didn't want to offend someone if you were 'wrong'?

You don't even know what I went through, what I am going through and you wish I will suffer.

I cannot understand people who in their good times declare all things so beautiful and when disaster strike, they forget all that they declare. In a way, they let their sinfulness take over and it looks like they are lying. You all my as well just keep your beautiful faith or religion to yourself so that in case anything so bad happens, at least you remember you did not show it all in the first place. I was not being bad to other people's beliefs. I am just saying that if you all declare your faith so nicely, you should be declaring your faith equally so nicely in this darkest hour of your life. Yet what do I see but all the desperation like people who have never know about their faith before.

That is what the ineptitude of the Bush administration policies has done. Almost 200,000 weapons that we have provided to the Iraqi forces have gone missing. The majority are believed to be in the hands of insurgents. The worst part of this story, we are STILL providing weapons to the Iraqi militia with little or no accountability as to where the weapons go. Shouldn't someone be held accountable for this? How many of our own troops have been killed with weapons paid for by US tax dollars?

I teach in a ghetto school, and let me say that the good kids are great, but the bad ones come to school with no pen, no paper, no I.D., no uniform, no lunch money, no energy, and you can't reach ther parents because they've given the wrong number to the school, or they are bounced around from cousin's house to auntie's house and there's no adult at home to help with homework or even buy them a dictionary or notebook.
Nowadays at least we try to educate everybody. Back in the 50's when "the schools were so great" many of the poor kids didn't even go to school, nor were schools filled with foreigners learning English that bring down a school's test scores. (FYI, the foreign students ty harder and learn faster than the ghetto Americans.)
We don't have enough books, chairs, security, teachers, or classrooms, but still the cons rail against teachers and T's unions, who really son't have much power in my state.
Are T's to blame for all society's ills? Some think so.

is it because they try to buy "mercy" from the anti-corporatist policies of the democrats? I mean, who would want to vote to tax and regulate themselves more? and why do rich democrats try so desperately to reduce their income taxes? why do they ban unions in their own businesses? could walmart actually be a liberal company?

Take the USA for example. They control their own currency and are heavily in debt. Couldn't they simply print more $$ and use that instead of continuous borrowing?

He is like the smartest guy ever and his idea of converting totalitarian Iraq into a Democracy just makes perfect sense since there are three minority groups in Iraq that all hate each other and Iraq is practically destined to stay a totalitarian government no matter what tries to be done to it. He is a really cool guy. No Child Left Behind was another good idea of his because poor schools will become even more poor if they do not raise their test scores. Instead of reallocating all of the monetary expenditures of the more rich schools to the schools that can not even afford text books, it is promoting richer schools to try harder to get even more money. Wow. makes so much sense. America is a great country under a great leader.

I have been even accused of being Anti-Semite for dividing 20 Billion over 4.9 Million and getting 4081.63 as a result. I'm serious... you can see it here:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/i...

I get the feeling that they just throw the accusation without even thinking about its meaning, or do they? Is it being confused with other terms like Anti-Judaism (religion), Anti-Israelis (Nation) or Anti-zionist (Political movement) while Semite is an ethnic race!

Could this backfire? Do you think the term is loosing its significance like the story of that guy who used to cry "Wolf"?

Is it just emotional blackmail, or do Zionists take these accusations seriously? Or is it some kind of collective Paranoia?

President Bush has hinted at times that we will need to be there for that long, if not longer? If you had known that we would be in there this long before the war started, would you still wanted to go to war in Iraq? Do you think it is a good idea to keep our soldiers there for 20 more years?

were college students from Egypt and Sudan! Why are they here in this day and age? Why is there not a stop on all middle eastern students for at least a year or so period and major background checks before they can even come here? Basically law enforcement prevented a huge blow up at a base by goons that are here going undetected! When are we gonna really crackdown and not allow middle easterners here until we know more about them and will Liberals act surprised when a college blows up by one of them?
