Politics - 12 August 2007

Cindy Sheehan has been involved in various protest movements for years and had gone generally unnoticed. Her son reenlisted to return to the war zone in Iraq. After his death she began to use his likeness on her t-shirt and his sacrifice in her campaign; gaining world wide attention. As her son apparently chose to serve our country, it appears that she is misusing his sacrifice for her own gain.

Seeing as how the international courts have found ways to try former heads of state, like Charles Taylor... do you think one day they'll get up the chutzpah to go after Bush et al?

The ACLU defended a Christian student, arguing that he had a constitutional right to religious speech in his yearbook entry?

Do you agree with the ACLU this this is okay?

Nothing will change, because Bush isn’t the problem. It’s true, he’s not doing anything but making our problems worse, but getting rid of him will not solve anything.

It is a fact that China owns over a trillion dollars of our national debt. They have threatened to sell that trillion dollars to anyone who wants it if Congress passes any laws rectifying our trade deficit with them, imposes any taxes on Chinese goods (the Chinese tax our goods) or there is any repercussion whatsoever from Chinese products being poorly made and highly toxic. If China sells that trillion dollars our economy will collapse.

Our Federal Income Tax is an illegal tax and it is illegal for the IRS to seize anything of it's citizens for not paying or filing YOUR income taxes. What do you think, the proof is in the eyes of the seeker.....

In light of the previous post, here is an old Bush joke that you have probably heard before. But if you haven't, you can rate it.

George Bush looks out his bedroom window one January morning. During the night, someone has peed "W s*cks" in a snowbank near the window. Enraged, George immediately calls the FBI to investigate. "This is an outrage!!" George yells, "I want you to find out who is responsible for this right now!!"

So a team of investigators goes out into the snowbank and runs some tests. A half an hour later, a FBI agent reports back to the President".

"Mr. President, I have some good news and bad news for you", the investigator starts. "The good news is that a urine analysis indicates that the urine belongs to former President Clinton."

"Ooohh." Bush laughs and rings his hands, "Once I go to the papers with this, I'm going to bring down the Democratic Party. What's the bad news?"

The FBI agent says, "It's Laura's handwriting."

Now i want to put my thoughts out there. Yes, i may only be 17, but i think i know how to run this country better than politicians. It just seems to me like they see it as a "Title" not a job. They all just want to be re-elected therefore they just state neutral ideas mostly and bicker back and forth about them, playing it safe. It seems like politcians dont want to take controversial action to try and solve problems. Our leaders of previous generations did what was best for our country at the time, sometimes sacrificing their re-election or popularity for the good of the nation...where are these people?

Like most people, I recognize that a failure to resolve the Israel-Palestine dispute is the basic cause of conflict in the region. But I don't believe the US and Israel will seriously negotiate on the Palestinian issue while Israel is the only country in the region with nuclear weapons. What is their incentive?

I think that perhaps they should be required to sign a contract that has their campaign promises on it, and if they don't follow through if elected they automatically get fired. Any promises that they are not willing to sign would then not be taken seriously or would be very suspect.

When I was 18 I voted. I voted for George Bush because the pastor of my Church told me to.

I wish I had not listened to him.

I am guessing that more than half of the people in America are Christians.

I know that Most Christians voted George Bush (current) into Office.

Bush now has a 25% approval rating across the board.

Do Christians regret voting for someone responsible for the death of over 650,000 civilians in Iraq plus average 100 U.S. soliders a month?

I am not trying to be confrontational or debate the rightness or wrongness of Christianity. sorry if you are a christian and voted for Bush if this is offensive. I am not blaming anyone who did I am just curious if you wish you voted for someone else.

P.S.

I am voting for Ron Paul in 2008

Didn't he keep much of that money for himself and his "merry men"?
Could the people, who gave him shelter, be considered accomplices?
Did other people end up paying more taxes because of his stealing from public officials?---Did they pay higher prices to the merchants who were robbed?
Would his "merry men" be Democratic politicians if they were alive today?
