Other - Politics & Government - September 2007

Yesterday the world saw how far to the right america has moved, we saw those who challenge the Fascist Right be tazered and beaten for exercisng free speech. Bush and his little band of neo nazis are quick to lecture other countries about free speech and democracy while they are crushing free speech and dissent at home.

The capital of NY is in Albany, not NYC.
The capital of PA is in Harrisburg, not Philadelphia
The capital of TX is in Austin, not Dallas Houston

Is there a reason (national security for example) to establish the state capitals in relatively non-significant cities, or this is purely due to some tradition in the past?

Here's how it works. For every $1.00 the employer pays you, they have to pay the government about 24 cents: FICA, Medicare, FUTA, SUTA, Worker's comp. That's 24 cents the employer is paying for your labor that you don't see. The government gets it.

Now, for every dollar you receive, the employer withholds by law about 24 cents to cover your income tax and your portion of FICA and Medicare. Thus, for every $1.24 worth of labor you provide, you net only about 76 cents. The government takes 48 cents. You end up receiving only 61% of the value of your labor income. The government gets 39%!

And that's today. Imagine what it's going to become if Hillary or Obama get elected and pass their socialized healthcare! Hillary said she will *force* every one to buy it. So, even if you are young and healthy, you won't be able to avoid paying her fee for insurance. You're going to see your 61 cents take on your $1.24 worth of labor drop down to, I'd bet, under 50 cents.

In other words, an insurgent/terrorist could be running away with an AK-47 or RPG in his hand & unless he had taken a shot at US troops those US troops CAN'T shoot back! How the heck can you win a war doing that?

The US military in Iraq isn't fighting a war they are acting as the Iraqi police force. And that ain't right.

There are almost 22 million Shiite & Kurdish Iraqis who hate Al Qaeda & the mostly Iraqi Sunni insurgents in Iraq who number maybe 70,000 total.

So let's see how smart you guys are. 22,000,000 Iraqi Kurds/Shiites each with an AK-47, against about 70,000 insurgents/terrorists.

Who do you think would win that war?

Every company has affiliation with the elite trash from the "old-boy" upper eschilon of society. They've gotten their shill elected and started a war to sell unlimited war products and reconstruction projects worth billions. The best "legit" scam perpertrated on assinine citizens who are too naive and unworldly to know how the rich operate. It's all in the history books, look under "building empires."

We saw all kinds of grandstanding by Dems when this problem came out. They were all blaming Bush. What have they done since then? Have they done anything to change the situation at Walter Reed?

Does it surprise you lefties that a hard core "right winger" like doctor savage would defend a lefty who was unjustly tazered for asking a simple question about the skull and bones?

"this is a perfect example of out of control police and police brutality, these campus police should be in orange jumpsuits...the fascist tazering the student is out of control"

Do we want idiots choosing our governments? After all 50% of the population is below average intelligence.
A simple intelligence and general knowledge test at the beginning of the ballot paper should weed out the most stupid voters.
Imagine a political campaign aimed at intelligent people?

well, at least my opinions about it..

You know how there are hundreds of research places..some for cancer some for aids some for poisons some for dieabetes (ect) why cant the government put all of these centers together..make it one giant organization twords finding one cure at a time, all that funding all that information put together to help find the cures faster? (do you see what i mean)

basicly "work on cancer" when thats done "AIDS" and so on..

why not have every citizen in america send 5 dollars to the government to increase funding to strengthen security?
(or a giant fence)

why not change the first amentment by adding,
"applies to everyone over 18" at the bottom?

why not have the government schedual a meeting with the leader of alquida** (the terrorist dudes) and figure things out.. work on a settlement or actually learn why? they hate america. (if they actually do at all..i dont really trust our government)....and actually tell citizens the truth.

why not?

about the problems of this country. When will the citizens of the UK stand up and take back the nation that rightly belongs to them and not the upper class politicians.

All i see and hear is what's wrong with everything with no action behind it. I say get up off your couch and chair, say what needs to be said .

Vote for what you want and most of all, see to it that those who dont care or listen are soon unemployed.

This country was founded by hard working, just people of couarge who did not put up with this kind of manipulation by the government.

Were has the courage of the people im so proud of go. Has PC replace thier backbone. I am unafraid of free speach and being heard and voteing, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone who has the guts to at least try.

I will stand toe to toe with those who try to rip us off or abuse us with power. why wont others.
