'Bush the (the best name will get 10 points)'

2007-06-10 16:19:49 · 22 answers · asked by Anonymous

I've never felt this way. I always thought of myself as a lifelong liberal. I told several good friends to immediatlely kill me if I became conservative....

I'm 18, and going to university next year. I don't want to take out student loans that will haunt me later in life so I got a full time summer job. But that wasn't enough money, so I got a second job part-time. I now work a total of 60 hours a week (hardly the lazy liberal). Last time I got my paystub, I got enraged at the taxes on it!! I mean I have s*** to pay for!!!

Also, after hanging our in the Ethics section, maybe capital punishment is on to something.....perphaps abortion really is murder....

With my time-consuming jobs I no longer have time to smoke pot. I save all my money, hardly spending any on the useless stuff I used to. I no longer give quarters to the homeless, and constantly complain about the price of gas....

OMG, I think I might be becoming conservative....

What can I do about this???
Please Help

In fact, the Constitution is far more than 'outmoded,' according to President Bush who rebuffed GOP leader's request to soft pedal some parts of the 'Patriot Act' by saying: "I don't give a goddamn . . . I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way." Then, responding to an aide who stated: "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution." Bush screamed back: "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face . . . It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"(

The basic necessities of life are:

1. Air to breath

2. Clean water to drink and clean with

3. Simple food

4. Simple shelter (with minimum heating and lighting)

5. Basic clothing (to stay warm and decent)

6. Medical care

7. Civil order (some type of justice system)

These seven simple necessities are not more or less then a prisoner would receive in an American jail.

Should all citizens be granted these life minimums?

If society’s worst are granted these minimums, shouldn't the sick, feeble, children, unemployed, etc. receive the same?

And how it all seems to have gone bad for the countries we granted independance to.

Well, seeing as how the US was founded by us (that's us not US), do you see my point?

If you are in a 401k or some other investment program for retirement, does this make you just as guilty as those you accuse of doing so. Many investment firms put money from retirement funds in oil companies. Do you know where your money is being invested? Are you making money from oil profit also?

Thomas Jefferson portrayed Alexander Hamilton as an elitist in the late 1700's, as George W. Bush had portrayed John Kerry as an elitist.

Of course we ALL know that Jefferson and Bush were the TRUE landed gentry elites, and pandered the ignorant, uneducated voters through "populist politics" in order to underhandedly gain the support of the majority.

Clinton is the Democrats answer to George Bush. If she gets the nomination, we'll have another 8 horrible, destructive years in America. Considering the Republicans have no chance of winning the presidency, the Democratic primary is the one opportunity to defeat Hillary. She is proposing an ASSET TAX on SAVINGS now and wants to escalate the Iraq war to the extent that she has implied that she wants to bring back the draft. Plus, it would be grounds for a potential coup if a woman instituted an all male draft, and a coup would destroy the country. Well, that some of that stuff is a little over the top maybe. She also won't criticize China.
But her complete idiocy and lack of awareness when it comes to solving problems and understanding rivals Bush and the nation cannot sustain another one. How do we beat Clinton?

I have no idea why you won't let me post (1) a fact that black leaders
say that jobs go to illegal immigrants and (2) a question as to whether
that will cause the amnesty bill to die.

What is wrong with that?????

"Black Causus is Angry Over Illegal Immigrants! Black Leaders Say
Illegals Steal Jobs from Blacks.?"

Inmates Sue After Prisons Ban Religious Books
The removal of the books is occurring nationwide -- part of a long-delayed post-Sept. 11 federal directive designed to prevent radical religious texts, specifically Islamic ones, from falling into the hands of violent inmates.

Three inmates from Otisville filed a lawsuit over the policy, saying their Constitutional rights were violated. They say all religions were affected -- Islamic prayer books, Christian books, and ancient Jewish texts were among those removed.

Feldman said the study was made out of a concern that prisons "had been radicalized by inmates who were practicing or espousing various extreme forms of religion, specifically Islam, which exposed security risks to the prisons and beyond the prisons to the public at large."

The American dollar may soon be replaced with the "amero," a suggested new currency (similar to the "euro"), allowing Canada, the US and Mexico to move toward a "North American Community" -- a union similar to the European Union. Someday soon, borders will be open, requiring no passports or visas. Instead, an embedded mark in the hand or forehead will be used for instant personal identification. The problem of illegal aliens will be solved. We will all be one big happy family.

Are you wondering why such moves are being made without asking for a vote of the citizenry? The answer lies in the United Nations’ move toward one-world government. Plans are afoot to divide the world into ten economic/political regions. The United Europe is one region, and the North American Community is another. Around the world, regions are currently being developed. Some are further along than others, but 2010 appears to be an achievable goal for the emergence of world government

Doesn't it seem that lately politics seem to be in a stand-still. I'm not referring to GB, but I mean, it seems like nothing ever happens anymore.

Is it just that the Democratic Party and Republican Party are actually the same party at heart with a few minor differences. Because it doesn't matter what one canidate will say on a debate, are they really going to actually do what they say? No, because they never do.

So now that both the prime parties are in a sense worthless and doing nothing at a viewpoint. What do you do? And Who do you vote for?
