Politics - 13 July 2006

Is it wrong for an employer to keep hiring a preferred race. What if someone of a different race is more qualified than the race the employer would prefer. I was once interviewed by a company where there are mostly one type of ethnicity(maybe 90%). There was no indication that the type of position or job atmosphere required me to be of a certain race.

I didn't get the job. But now just looking back at it, i was wondering if these people were being racist since I wasn't the same ethnic background.

A while ago some Israeli soldiers illegally broke into Lebanon's borders and entered as illegal fugitive aliens. Lebanon took them in captivity to ask questions but never harmed them ( just how mexicans illegally enter the US borders). Israel then rained bombs and missiles that killed hundreds and left thousands homeless.

Why? Why this inhumanity? What would have they done if an Arab had illegaly torn Israel's border fence and entered. Wouldn't they have burnt his entrails?

Israel say they have the right to defend themselves. Heck everyone has the right to defend them selves. But why is it that Lebanon do not have the right to defend themselves? And if they do defend them selves then they are called extremists and terrorist.. Why?

Don't give me your bullcrap that Hezbollah are terrorists. They're just part of Lebanon's Military Just like any other military state force with a name. Doing their job keeping their people and country free from harm and fugitives. Btw, i'm not Arab.

We know Israel's past military exploits and their amzing victories, but will they have to fight Palestine, Lebanon, Iran (and others..at once)? Will it come to that? How will it end?

"When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him."
-Jonathan Swift

Since all the liberals ARE in a confederacy against Bush, could this mean that he is actually a true genius and that we just don't understand him? Or maybe they just don't like people who mean and do what they say.

I got into a political discussion with someone at work one day. It got a little heated as the conversation went on. He was trying to debate me about the war in Iraq and I asked him if he saw something on the news. He says, "I don't watch any news because it distorts the truth."
How in the hell do you get information then? And if he just reads newspapers or magazines, don't they have the capability of distorting as well? After he said that, I couldn't take anything he said seriously anymore. Am I wrong for doing so? Please give me your opinions!

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is fund raising using a video that contains flag draped coffins of our American war dead.

Nancy Pelosi appears in this video so it can hardly be said they were not aware of the manner in which they are raising Democratic funds.

They claim this is acceptable because of other things they show a gasoline sign of $3.35, New Orleans underwater, a company sign on a fence with the words, Closed, and photos of Clinton and Pelosi.

Besides voting for this Party does it encourage you to doante or donate more to their party?

Its hard, but try to imagine that another country attempted a massive invasion of the USA. Suppose they suddenly parachuted in thousands of troops and managed to take over a bunch of small towns, roads, and airports. From there they flew in all kinds of artillary and took over most of a whole state and trenched in very good. As long as the Americans in that state "went along" they wouldn't be harmed very much - just a few rapes and killings after the initial 2,000 deaths.

1. Would you cooperate with the invaders or would you resist?

2. Would you condone the use of terrorist tacts to resist? (roadside bombs, sniping, suicide bombing)

3. If your family was killed before your very eyes by the invader, would you be willing to become a suicide bomber?

4. If the invaders said they would leave in 4-6 years if everyone cooperated, would you believe them?

5. Would you be willing to target Americans who were actively helping the invaders?

6. When would you give up?

Bill Clinton never received a majority of the popular vote. That means that in the only poll that counts (the one in November) he never had a 50% approval rating. What is so great about that?

I don't care what Bush's numbers are or were. I am talking about Clinton.

Liberals seem to be obsessed with sex. When ever I read answers to the left's leading questions about the President you get at least one (usually many more than that) that either questions his sexual preference or suggests that he is cheating on Laura (no evidence just accusation typical huh)
