Politics - 20 September 2007

We all know this incident was a hate crime. But, do you think racism towards blacks or whites is justifiable due to the aftermath of this occurrence?
**I've noticed the inner racism slowly coming out of people after this incident occurred.

What are your thoughts?

In 1984 there 18 cases of violence, death threats and/or harassment from so-called "pro-life" groups in from of reproductive clinics, namely Planned Parenthood.

20 years later in 2004, that organization reported that a third of ALL clinics have experienced this, including arson and the need for bulletproof vests.

From a self-proclaimed "pro-life" movement. NOW can you see why these glaring right wing hypocrites are called not just intrusionists, but "terrorists".

The end justifies the means to serve their God.

So why cant pro-life Republicans talk about this in their party?
Fear of being called a "babykilling liberal" by "moral" people?
Most have told they the feel intimidated and shut out by the friong element that has hijacked the GOP.

One example of many:

Recently their Bill O' Reilly (one of the most famous pundits in America) described ongoing fierce fighting in Afghanistan as a 'myth' spread by anti-Americans.

I think the families of our (British) servicemen fighting and dying in Helmand Province would consider this a gross insult.

What kind of conclusion are we supposed to draw from all of this?



The Clinton’s accept contributions & profit from criminal, communists

John Edwards made millions by suing doctors and hospitals in frivolous lawsuits thereby driving up medical costs

Planned Parenthood profits from abortion

The pro-abortion lobby headed up by drug companies and the corporations who produce the abortion vacuum machines profit from abortion

The ACLU profits by attempting to crush Christianity

Organizations like Moveon.org profit through contributions from socialists like Soros

Al Gore and leftist organizations like the Sierra Club profit from the Global Warming hysteria

Liberal Sean Penn worships socialist tyrant Hugo Chavez

Al-Qaeda’s #1 man bin Laden tips his hat to the Democrat Party

Communist Castro endorses a Hillary – Obama ticket

The Democrat Party pushes freedom of thought & speech restricting hate laws

Instead we have shown remarkable restraint.

Shouldn't "the world" be a little more respectful and grateful for our tolerance of their backstabbing?

What do you think? Fair? Also, each side only gets to benefit from their projects...republicans get all the benefits of the Iraq war (ALL OF THEM!) and democrats get all the benefits from their social programs. Agreed?

They were so confident that they were telling the truth that they had elected to remain UNINCORPORATED and take the risk of being perhaps the only 527 in which its members were willing to accept PERSONAL liability for their actions, unlike MoveOn which had compared Bush to Hitler and called an American General in wartime a traitor. The Swiftvets were very brave or stupid not to incorporate and protect themselves from legal action; OR they were truthful.

In fact, Senator Kerry has let the last statute of limitations for defamation to lapse, forever barring any defamation claim against SwiftVet authors O'Neill and Corsi.
http://beldar.blogs.com/beldarblog/2007/08/sen-kerry-permi.html
"The very last thing John Kerry wants is to ever give the SwiftVets the legal tools they'd need to conclusively document their claims, because truth is, of course, a complete defense to defamation claims."

to funnel through a bureaucratic system and give, six months later, 25 cents on the dollar to some guy who lost his job in the widget factory........

I would have spent on a widget, invested in the widget company, or at least deposited in the bank that provides the widget company a line of credit, and the widget factory would not only have cut back the second shift but started a third?

We've had this debate, we've tried it both ways, and the results are clear - - - when we do it their way we get double digit unemployment AND inflation, and when we do it our way we get low unemployment and low inflation even at the peak of the interest rate cycle.

Are people better off with a meagre handout in a poor economy or a job in a strong one?

You can't have it both ways.

There's been a huge discussion this year about fixing the "bear problem" in the west. Seems the bears are not finding any food or water in the mountains and now they're coming into town looking for alternative sources. Some folks wanted to give food drops to help these animals out. But, wildlife experts say to let nature take it's course.

That got me to thinking. Shouldn't we do the same for the left. Why give them free health care, free housing, food stamps, WIC, welfare, etc...why not let nature take it's course? This will solve 99% of the social program issues we have in this country. I think the 08 slogan for the right should be "Let nature take it's course, vote Republican".

I do. I don't support this war, but to insult a U.S. generals is idiotic.

EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE:
Asked about last week's ad from the liberal group MoveOn.org Political Action that referred to Gen. David Petraeus as "General Betray Us," Bush was harsh about both MoveOn and Democratic leaders.

The ad, he said, "was disgusting. It was an attack not only on Gen. Petraeus but on the U.S. military. ... I was disappointed that not more leaders in the Democratic Party spoke out more strongly against that kind of ad." The president's conclusion: "Most Democrats are afraid of irritating a left-wing group -- or are more afraid of irritating them -- then they are of irritating the U.S. military. That was a sorry deal. ... It's one thing to attack me, but another to attack somebody like Gen. Petraeus."

Some form of healthcare is probably inevitable . Whenever it does happen , let's just hope that it's done right.... . although I'm not holding my breath with the government in charge of it .

But funding must be withheld from Sanctuary Cities . So why not put that money aside for future healthcare costs ?

While I understand that there are exceptions to the trend, does the trend still hold,

non-church goers voted for Kerry while church goers voted for Bush,

and yes I'm sure there are those answering this question and my previous who are exceptions but I think that loses the intent of the question
