It seems warning people of how dangerous unaccountability in government is falling on deaf ears again!!

When will we learn?

Once again our nation is being divided and still we quibble with each other instead of demanding answers and accountability!!

They cannot enforce immigration laws.
We have government run schools that do not prepare kids for the real world. In major cities, half of kids cannot graduate.
Social Security is an illegal Ponzi scheme.

The list goes on and on.

Name anything that would make a reasonable person think nationalizing health care is a good idea.

What will it take before you open your eyes and realize you are duped?What has George W Bush done for you that you would lie to yourself and deny the obvious truth?
How can we help our conservative friends to come to terms with reality?

I have had lots of exposure to the Indian and Pakistani population. Have you noticed that they own many gas stations, convenience stores and gift shops? They want us Americans to pay price for their business but yet if you have one of them wanting your services like cleaning, yard work, a/c services, etc. they are cheap and these people have money!! To me, this is degrading to us Americans!! They also own homes and rent them out to Americans and yet they won't keep them in proper repair!!

I think we need to boycott these people's businesses.

Any thoughts on this or the same experience?

Liberals - from my understanding, support the far left side of social issues in America...
The way conservatives uphold the right.

So, as far as WAR is concerned, why is it always such a party-line issue with both sides screaming "liberal" or "neocon"?

Who started that spin?

July 20, 2007
University of Colorado regents will decide whether to fire professor Ward Churchill after a special meeting and hearing Tuesday.

The firebrand professor first sparked controversy in 2005 with his essay on Sept. 11, 2001, that compared some victims of the terrorist attacks to a notorious Nazi.

A CU investigative committee last year concluded that Churchill invented facts, plagiarized entire works and misrepresented the authorship of articles.

"I expect to be fired," Churchill said in an e-mail to the Camera on Thursday

"I think it's been clear for a long time that Ward Churchill is a buffoon and a charlatan without any scholarly credibility," Mitchell said. "I'm confident the regents will raise the level of scholarship at CU by sending him packing."

1) Freeze the growth rate of non-entitlement spending to 2.5%, which is the present rate of CPI.

2) Either pass my tax proposal or leave tax rates exactly where they are today, on a permanent basis.

Note - tax revenue is presently increasing at a double digit clip, if we could freeze spending at the present rate of inflation we'd have a surplus within 18 months at the latest and it would grow from there.

The two main "what ifs" are inflation and interest rates - what if either of them grows - - but they're a lot less likely to if we can cap spending.

Bill Clinton:

expanded free trade

deregulated the financial services sector

continued Reagan's deregulation of other sectors

created huge corporate tax loopholes

signed welfare reform

moved the pegs back a notch re Reagan's personal income tax cuts, which I didn't support, but he didn't exactly undo them


All 'n all, Bill Clinton's economic record was probably more free market oriented than that of Bush '41.

The big picture is that any differences among Reagan and everyone since pale by comparison to the differences between this bunch and the presidents from FDR through Carter. And the results really can't be argued-with.

What I can't understand is why only one Democrat candidate today wants to take up that mantle, and how it isn't Bill Clinton's wife doing it, it's his Energy Secretary.

It seems to me that there's one candidate who could unify the country and who is RIGHT on most of the issues, economic and social - - - - BILL RICHARDSON.

But he has little chance of winning the nomination because the party machinery favors Hillary and the moonbats favor Obama.

What is to stop Bush from invading Iran, and declaring a national emergency?With Bush using the PATRIOT Act combined with Bush's 'signing statements', How can we be sure that national elections will NOT be suspended? We know Bush does not support the Constitution or the rule of law. We no longer have habeas corpus protection.
At this time Bush IS acting as a dictator. Perhaps I am a bit paranoid, but still it seems the US may be headed in this direction.

< Iran Arrests 14 Squirrels For Spying
Rick Moran

Via Memorandum, Ynet has the exciting espionage story of some highly trained, stealthy rodents who were caught entering Iranian territory. Or maybe they were left wing squirrels and only wanted to surrender:

Iranian intelligence operatives recently detained over a dozen squirrels found within the nation's borders, claiming the rodents were serving as spies for Western powers determined to undermine the Islamic Republic. "In recent weeks, intelligence operatives have arrested 14 squirrels within Iran's borders," state-sponsored news agency IRNA reported. "The squirrels were carrying spy gear of foreign agencies, and were stopped before they could act, thanks to the alertness of our intelligence services.">>

Maybe these guys could patrol our Southern Border. If they can catch 14 squirrels maybe they could catch a couple of illegal invaders. God knows they would be better than what we have now.
