Politics - 19 July 2007

I still haven't seen proof. I've checked around, but I still haven't seen any media showing Soldiers being booed, jeered, or spat upon when coming back from their tours or, unfortunately, lost their lives for this country by those who disagree with the war. I continue to see rhetoric.

Go ahead with the insults as well, it only shows I'm right...

AKA: the John Doe Provision.

"Congressional Democrats today failed to include a provision in homeland security legislation that would protect the public from being sued for reporting suspicious behavior that may lead to a terrorist attack, according to House Republican leaders.
“This is a slap in the face of good citizens who do their patriotic duty and come forward, and it caves in to radical Islamists,” said Rep. Peter T. King, New York Republican and ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee.

On March 27, the House approved the "John Doe" amendment on a 304-121 vote

WASHINGTON (AP) - "Former CIA operative Valerie Plame lost a lawsuit Thursday that demanded money from Bush administration officials whom she blamed for leaking her agency identity.

U.S. District Judge John D. Bates dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds and said he would not express an opinion on the constitutional arguments.

Bates dismissed the case against all defendants: Cheney, White House political adviser Karl Rove, former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage."

Thoughts? We know that outting a non-covert CIA agent breaks no law. Why try to sue?

Other than put on a big show and bring in beds so they can sleep on the job, other than the lowest approval rating in history, other than trying to let all the law breaking wet backs go free, what have they done? Their whole motive is to rase all the heck they can. It has been said that even bad attention is better than no attention at all.

Democrats Aid Radical Islamists, Trial Lawyers

News item: "Democrats are trying to pull a provision from a homeland security bill that will protect the public from being sued for reporting suspicious behavior that may lead to a terrorist attack..." This bill was proposed by Peter King, and it was in the aftermath of the flying imams, those six of them that got on an airplane in Minneapolis and started behaving in a manner similar to what was reported on the flights on 9/11. So some passengers and flight crew reported 'em, and the imams threatened to sue the airline and the passengers and all that. So they introduced this legislation that would protect the public from being sued for reporting suspicious behavior. But the government itself is telling us to do this. "Be vigilant out there! Keep an eye out! Keep a sharp eye out for suspicious behavior!" Now, the Democrats are trying to take this out. "This legislation moves to a House and Senate conference committee this afternoon and will implement final recommendations from the 9/11 Commission, and Peter King said, 'Democrats are trying to find any technical excuse to keep immunity out of the language of the bill to protect citizens who, in good faith, report suspicious activity to the cops or law enforcement. It's a slap in the face of good citizens who do their patriotic duty and come forward and it caves in to radical Islamists.'" It does! What in the world is the benefit to the Democrats of this? The trial lawyers! All right. "How dare you try to limit lawsuits?" is the answer to the question, ladies and gentlemen. The trial lawyers. This is a potential goldmine out there waiting to be raked in. I'm glad you asked.

They are against Barack Obama's idea to fund programs that teach children the difference between appropriate contact with adults and inappropriate contact. Since children are easily confused, this would certainly help them defend themselves. And he's not saying it's mandatory, a parent does not have to place their kid in any program like this at their school. It's a matter of choice. He simply believes these programs are healthy and deserve funding.

What is the Republicans' problem with that? Or is this just another lame attack from an irrelevant party whose ship is sinking?

We have sold arms to every nation that we may have to go to war with in the future .
We have armed one regime that wipes out its own people only to go back later and arm the other side to promote a constant need for military hardware around the globe .

I am sick of this and you all should be too .

It was bad enough when China and Russia armed one side and us the other and we let our troops get killed for money in the past .

Today we know the score .

Bush flat out lied to the people to get a war going in the Middle east .

He pushed the patriot act over 1000 pages of law that creates a police state and even includes payoffs to chemical companies and sets aside aide to be used in other nations to battle so called terrorists . Columbia is loaded with terrorists and will be receiving even more guns money and military support .

Are you sick and tired of how this nation arms every side and sticks our people in the middle ??????

Though Bates said the case raised "important questions relating to the propriety of actions undertaken by our highest government officials," he said there was no legal basis for the suit.
