Politics - 27 August 2007

Because the Census Bureau defines "American" to mean an individual within the borders of the United States.

That includes illegal aliens, who number about 20 million.

They're not going to be covered under Hillary's plan - until they become legalized - which would also require passage of the amnesty bill.

And since most of the bills proposed involved a fee - in the area of $5,000 to $10,000 - which, if you "can't afford" health insurance, you don't have - most illegals wouldn't end up being able to buy the amnesty anyway.

Also, since they're so into "people's rights", why don't they defend our rights, as Christians?

Do you want church interfering with your government?

Do you want government interfering with your church?

Isn’t the separation of church and state more designed to protect the church than it is to protect the government and the governed?

The USA has the best quality healthcare in the world. People from all over the world (who can afford it) come to our hospitals for the best treatments. We have the best outcomes in almost every disease in the world. But what im interested in is that if a Democrat wins the presidency in 2008, and they implement a Universal Healthcare system, where the medicine stays private like it is, but the government regulates the insurance companies more and covers the people who dont have any insurance. Will that have a good or bad effect on the quality of care.

When i look for answers over Yahoo for this, the people answering seem not to understand the difference between what the US will probably do, and Socialized Medicine.

I am just wondering, is it because we keep 50 million people out of the healthcare system, that is why our quality of care is better. Or will covering everyone have no effect on the quality.

Any thoughts.

One week ago the Washington Post ran the cartoon "Opus", in which it poked fun at the late Rev. Jerry Fallwell. This week it decided not to run "Opus" because it poked fun at radical islamists. Can someone explain the double standard? If it ridicules Christianity it's OK. If it riducules Islam, it's not OK? I can't wait to watch the tapdancing about this one.

2 years on and those lazy worthless people are still unemployed, sitting around waiting for our tax money to bail out their lazy butts. Instead of subsidizing stupidity and laziness, how about we take back the trailers, cut off the checks, and let them take responsibility for themselves? In Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, Kansas, and Ohio, people are ALREADY rebuilding just days after massive floods ruined 10s of the thousands of homes and businesses. If the people in NO are forced to work to starve, no matter how far they need to go for work, they will either turn into productive citizens, or their laziness genes will no longer be in the gene pool. Sounds to me like a win win situation huh?

I am a Republican, as most of yall probably have grasped. I have received 7 violations for my opinions in the last 5 days from Liberals reporting me, without having violated Yahoo! TOS. I know most Liberals don't like freedom of speech, unless it is their own, but isn't it reasonable to think that Liberals would like to shut the Conservatives up as much as they can, before we can change the minds of folks who are undecided at this stage?

I'm not debating welfare here - that's not the point of this question. I am talking about what we as a society do to help our fellow citizens - fewer unemployed and homeless makes for a better economy and society.

Do you think we have a responsibility, implied or other wise to our fellow citizens or is it every man for himself, and too bad for those that fall?

look at all the anti-American groups and organizations all around the world, which side of the political isle do they stand on? the left. remember the New Left of the 60's and 70's, who were not able to say one good thing about America, yet they continued to live here, along with the many immigrants that came? the soviets who accused America of being imperialist, yet in Soviet times you couldn't buy anything in eastern Europe that wasn't Russian-made.
who would Hugo Chavez vote for? that dictator who is dedicated to crushing opposition in a very Soviet style, just like American media.

and then they make some excuse saying that criticism doesn't mean they hate America. criticism in itself doesn't mean that, but couple that with the fact that leftists cant say one good thing about America, ever. conservatives say both good and bad. pat buchanan for example.
is it that hard for liberals to just move to venezuela or some more comfortable place? it would embarrass America, as you want.

I have had numerous questions deleted in regards to illegal immigration. I asked a question about Elive Arellano and if anyone thought she was wrongfully deported - that was removed.

I also asked a question about the most common excuse a pro-illegal immigration support uses to justify their illegal presence in the US - that was also deleted.

I'm starting to think that many people's accounts are being suspended and de-activated because a lot of people use the report button if their feelings were hurt or our beliefs differed.. And I am not so sure that Yahoo! moderators are actually reading the question to see if anything was violated in the TOS.

I have actually read the TOS and it doesn't say that your account can get deleted for having different beliefs or opinions.

What do you guys think?

This man spent the Hurricane Katrina days in Houston in a hotel with his family while his city was being wiped out. He has shown that he is a bad leader and has no business being in politics.

These individuals are making what should be an enjoyable experience actually long-suffering.

They know who they are and you can imagine what sad, shallow lives these people live. Most still have Elementary School attitudes and want to play in the world of grown ups.

about his actions?

I found it very interesting. He says he takes full responsibility for
his actions and blames nobody else for what he did. He apologizes to
the NFL commissioner, falcons organization including owner, gm,
coaches, and team mates. He also apologized to all the children that
looked up to him, that he has let down. He aknowleges that dog
fighting is very bad and now says he has rejected it.

He also says he has found Jesus and turned his life over to God.

He seems truly sorry for all this mess. Question is, is he sorry that
he did what he did, or is he sorry that he got caught?
