Other - Politics & Government - September 2007

How could anyone vote for a political party that supports higher taxes, criminal rights over victims rights, minority special privledges, abortion on demand, expanded welfare programs that benefit the lazy, political correctness, illegal immigration, gay marriage, government healthcare and a terrorists bill of rights while standing against our military mission in Iraq, a free market capitalist economy, limited federal government, national sovereignty and autonomy, free religious expression in the public square and personal property rights?

Especially how it will affect your existing outstanding loan balances (i.e. for your car or home)? Or on how this will affect your future hourly wage or salary?

I got to thinking about this recently, when I heard that the US dollar and the Canadian dollar are roughly the same exchange rate. I remember only 10 years ago the CDN dollar was about 68 cents to the US dollar!

According to this info, the Amero may be arriving sooner rather than later... (possibly around 2010 or 2011)

How would that make you feel?

If you knew that 9/11 was set up and staged by a dark circle of rich elite families and that they did it just to start Middle East wars and to take away our Constitutional freedoms - wouldn't that piss you off!

If you knew that these same evil circle of people formed an organization called Blackwater in order to kill and round up patriotic American people in the event of Martial Law and a Revolution wouldn't that make you really angry!

If you knew that Saddam asked for $1 billion dollars to walk away from Iraq and turn control over to America before we invaded - wouldn't that tick you off that we could have saved one trillion American tax dollars wasted on a failed war and saved ourselves from one of the biggest blunders in military history?

What if the new gun laws passed were really just an effort to take away protection from citizens in order to make it easier for Blackwater to control us when they start rounding people up- that make you mad

It's really a disgusting exploitation of people's faith. Separation of Church and State protects government from religion and religion from government. One need only look back to when Constantine, the Roman emperor co-opted Christianity and made it the national religion of Rome. He did so not because he believed in Jesus and his teachings, but because he wanted to remain in power. Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

3 years ago I was 21 and just entering Airborne training. I was given 20,000 sign on bonus and a 20,000 college assistance bonus before entering. I never recieved these because soon after I went AWOL and now I guess I'm a deserter but I talked to my recruiter last week and he said I can't be considered a deserter because I never made it to my Unit. I was only in the army for 5 months before leaving (going Awol). My reasons are just excuses I believe in my heart that I am worthless for doing this and I don't deserve to be in the greatest country in the world. My recruiter has no idea what my status is. You see I was pulled over once and recieved a speeding ticket. I have bought a vehicle and I have had backround checks run on me by employers. I have a very good job and have had it for 3 years and now I am going through depression spells realizing I am a loser for doing what I did. I drank to much this weekend and got arrested for a disorderly and I still did not get arrested????????????

All day long we are showered with lib questions with them foaming at the mouth about how bad Bush is. Later in the afternoon more conservatives show up on here to defend our great President. Is it because conservatives actually have a job and are getting home from work and libs are still in their pajama's all day because they don't work?? Just asking....

The Bush administration also distanced itself from radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who has called U.S. troops who oppose the war "phony soldiers."

Limbaugh had argued with a caller on Wednesday about when U.S. troops ought to be brought home. The caller, who identified himself as "Mike" from Chicago and said he was an a Iraq veteran and a Republican, pushed Limbaugh on whether the occupation in Iraq would last forever.

Limbaugh referred to soldiers who criticize the war and urge that troops be brought home as "phony troops."

"Rush Limbaugh, who, in January, called Vietnam veteran Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., 'Senator Betrayus' for disagreeing with President Bush, has made no secret of his disdain for those who serve and speak out. Where was Rush Limbaugh when it came time to serve his country?"

Limbaugh has not served in the military.

Bush seeks new image on global warming By JOHN HEILPRIN, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 28 minutes ago



WASHINGTON - President Bush called on the world's worst polluters Friday to come together to set a goal for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing the climate to heat up. He didn't exempt his own country from the list.

"By setting this goal, we acknowledge there is a problem, and by setting this goal, we commit ourselves to doing something about it," Bush said in a speech that capped two days of talks at a White House-sponsored climate change conference. "We share a common responsibility: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while keeping our economies growing."

Is this a flip or a flop?

Republicans always speak of accountability and responsibility but they don't always practice what they preach. If you walked into a convenience store, took a bite out of a candy bar and then put it in your pocket, you'd still have to pay for it, wouldn't you? You used it, so now you have to pay for it. Well, that applies to our public schools, our police, firefighters, first responders, emts, our US military, our Courts, our roads and bridges and the list goes on and on. So if Republicans are willing to give up all of these benefits, then we'll be happy to excuse them from paying taxes. Thoughts?

I'm confused.

John Kerry told me that $100,000 / yr in a household makes you "rich" and that "rich people" like this shouldn't get tax cuts - they should contribute more.

But now I'm reading about the SCHIP proposal, and my Democratic leaders are telling me that $84,000 / yr in a household makes you "poor" and that your kids need "free health insurance."

I'm confused, is it that everything under 84k is poor, and everything over 100k is rich? I never realized the middle class was so small!

But yeah anyway, why aren't they taking money for SCHIP from the rich? Why do they keep proposing taxes like gas and cigarettes that take more from the people at the bottom?

Maybe, everyone under $84,000 is poor and therefor shouldn't pay taxes! What about that?

This is not intended as an insult. I see many liberals complaining about being charaterized as socialists, but it seems to me that many of the policies that most liberals seem to favor are of a socialist nature because they revolve around greater government control and the redistribution of wealth. (Welfare assistance, Social Security, Universal Health Care, opposition to tax cuts, etc.). Being called a socialist is not the same as being called a communist, although I will concede that some conservatives seem to incorrectly equate them as being one in the same. Again this is not intended as an insult, I am just honestly curious how you classify these particular types of views to be anything else and how you see yourself if not as a socialist. Please do not provide the "it's the right thing to do" answer. I understand why you feel the way you do, just not how you classify yourself. All decent answers will be considered, insults and bashing will be ignored.

In other words: I am asking this Q: Is socialized medicine ok for citizens in Congress and in the Military, but not for the rest of the citizenry? What has happened to the concept of equality for all citizens? Shouldn't all citizens have the same access to medical care and treatment if we are all equal?(rhetorical Q as stmt)

COPS SAY LEGALIZE DRUGS!
ASK US WHY
After nearly four decades of fueling the U.S. policy of a war on drugs with over a trillion tax dollars and 37 million arrests for nonviolent drug offenses, our confined population has quadrupled making building prisons the fastest growing industry in the United States. More than 2.2 million of our citizens are currently incarcerated and every year we arrest an additional 1.9 million more guaranteeing those prisons will be bursting at their seams. Every year we choose to continue this war will cost U.S. taxpayers another 69 billion dollars. Despite all the lives we have destroyed and all the money so ill spent, today illicit drugs are cheaper, more potent, and far easier to get than they were 35 years ago at the beginning of the war on drugs. Meanwhile, people continue dying in our streets while drug barons and terrorists continue to grow richer than ever before. We would suggest that this scenario must be the very definition of a failed public polic

Do you think it was a wise decision to send so many fire personnel up the twin towers on September 11th 2001.

A colleague of mine, who is in the UK fire service, said that a initial scouting/recon should of been carried first out by smaller (and minimal) groups of fire fighters, with other stations (USA: ladders) on the ground awaiting instructions, and this back-up should not have consisted of such a plethora of personnel, as seen on the day in question situation.

What is your opinion?
