Politics - 24 September 2007

How typical that the leader of a foreign country could visit the US and be on the receiving end of abuse and ridicule from a high racking US academic, without a word of protest about his treatment by Doggy Rice. The USA exhibits such arrogance, yet its people wonder why they are hated so much.

Freedom of Speech?..., more like Bush's rent a crowd getting a few extra dollars to make a scene. Hatred of the USA will only escalate, for no other reason than seeing the hypocrisy of USA democracy.

It really is the pot calling the kettle black. I can't wait for the downfall of the USA...it certainly is coming soon.

Picture this scenario witnessed at a party (as told to me): A group of people were gathered discussing Bush and the Iraq war. One young Lib (who, seemingly, had done his homework) was spouting facts and figures to back his case for bringing the troops home. A near-by Bush supporter sat silently smirking for several minutes as the Lib droned on. At the first lull, the Con piped up...."Buddy, if you're not with us, you're with them!" A few high-fives, pats on the back from neighboring Bushies - and that was that. Game over. The Lib walked away - shaking his head and mumbling under his breath. (The person relating this story didn't hear exactly what he mumbled, but thought it sounded something like "how'd he do that?" or possibly "Howdy Doody".) With nine short words, he'd been both shut down and shamed! This made me think: If the stuation had been reversed, what could the Lib have said? Can't those Dems give even that much? a slogan or two? such as Bush spouts (ad nauseum)?

How many of them are killed there, Pak army show that they were killed in north Wazirastan (inside Pakistan) by local Talibans, to cover up their lies.



May be this is the reason USA wants to keep P. Musharraf, by any means, till the Iraq war ends.

When Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in April 1968, Robert F. Kennedy made an impromptu speech in Indianapolis, honouring him and calling for the US to unite together, not be divided.
And he said this:

My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He wrote: "In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."

I think this was very fitting for Bobby, since he had lost his brother only a few years ago and had gotten to be clsoe friends with MLK - and two months later MLK's death, Bobby was dead himself. I find it very darkly ironic thus... and it's a shame we had to lose 2 of our greatest leaders within a year.
Let me know what you think about the quote. :)

"The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word "crisis". One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger-but recognize the opportunity."
Speech in Indianapolis, Indiana (12 April 1959)

"A man does what he must — in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers, and pressures — and that is the basis of all human morality."
Profiles in Courage (1956)

"I can assure you that every degree of mind and spirit that I possess will be devoted to the long-range interests of the United States and to the cause of freedom around the world."
Acceptance speech 9 November 1960

- No wise-*** remarks please, if I'm curious I'll ask for 'em. -

I'm not all too familiar with the woman, but apparently after reading up on her, there have been some incidents that have caused a "what a bimbo" reaction towards her alone. From what I've heard, she's not the brightest, though I'm not sure what these incidents are. Could you please fill me in on some stories about her that have circulated through the news that might have caused this negative reaction from even Republican/Rudy voters themselves? Thanks.
(Again, don't bother ranting about who you support and who you don't, I could care less, so please don't start).

I just came upon an article about the Real ID act...a precurser for National ID cards, signed into law back in 2005 as a rider on one of the troop appropriations bills.

Where in the Constitution does it give the Federal Government authority to issue licenses or identification, or to maintain a national database as such?

Bush has robbed you of being one of the lands of the free by not allowing you to freely travel as you may wish to?

You could risk flying into Cuba from another country, for instance: Mexico or Canada and even then,
you would have to apply for special permission from the US government or else the failure to do so, could have you facing civil penalties and criminal prosecution upon your return to the United States.

Federal law mandates all people entering the emergency room must be treated, whether they have insurance, can pay, or are even here legally.

We know that hospitals in inner cities are closing like crazy. Los Angeles has lost many hospitals.

How are hospitals supposed to stay in business when so many do not pay?

I'll tell you what, I've known that SS was broken for about the last decade. It's based on the premise that you can keep robbing Peters to pay Pauls. Well, it's gonna go bust. So how about giving me the choice to opt out entirely? I've been paying into social security for about the last 14 years. Go ahead, keep it, the money's yours. I'll never ask for a dime. What I ask in return is that the government quits taking money out of my paycheck every month. I'll invest that, for better or worse, and we'll see where I stand in 30 years. I'd be willing to bet everything I have that I'll be better off doing that then with the government continuing to rob me every single month. Can you opt out of this program? Are we truly in the land of the free?
