BUSH LIED ABOUT WMD
Who actually believe that Bush actually verified all
those
statements about there being WMD in Iraq and all the
intelligence
data? Those reports and data was from many sources and agencies. Much
of
it came from Sadam himself.
This fantasy was concocted by the Democratic party because they have
held
control of the government for so long they have no idea how to run a
political
campaign. All they know how to do is to try to discredit Bush. many
Democrats
that had access to the same inelegance as Bush did also supported the
war
against terrorism and said we should go after Sadam, Now that it is
election
time they change their story to gain the election. You don't hear them
bringing
up all the Democrats that supported taking out Sadam. If Bush lied,
then
so did they.
They do not realize the best way to defeat Bush is to come up with a
better
way to fight terrorism and provide a safety net for the country against
terrorism.
So far not one single Democrat has come up with a better plan. As a
matter
of fact None of the democrats have done anything to advance the war
against
terrorism other than to try to knock down the plan we have now. The
result
would be to open the borders to terrorists until we have daily bus
bombings
in every city of the country.
ELECTIONS
Everybody elects the president or any other elected
official
for that matter. It doesn't matter who you voted for or even if you
voted.
As a citizen of this country you are a part of the voting process. If
you
chose not to vote you are saying that you will abide by what everybody
else
decides is the best choice. Once the president is elected you have no
right
to complain because you put him there. Unless you have something to say
that
will end up in a recall, anything you say that is contrary to what the
government
says or does is nothing more than trying to undermine the government
and
weaken it because the government had to reply to your bitching instead
of
doing what you elected it to do.
FREEDOM OF RELIGION
The freedom of religion means I can practice any form
of
religion I want to or not at all. I choose my religious views from
numerous
religions. Because of that my views differ from most everyone so I
don't
try to push my views on you and you had better not try to push yours on
me.
I don't care if your version will save me from hell and mine will send
me
to hell. If I see something in how you live your life that draws my
attention
to you I will ask you about it. You don't need to tell me about it.
GAY MARRIAGE
If somebody wants to be married in the eyes of their
God,
that is between them and God. No man or government has the rite to stop
it.
By our Constitution, the government is required to separate itself from
religion
in ALL ways. If you take religion and God out of gay marriage
there
is not reason for it not to happen. You might rite away say there is a
reason
but it all goes back to religion unless you are just an anti gay and do
not
want gays to have any rights at all. This also is not legal in the eyes
of
the government because our constitution says "all men are created
equal".
Now you can take this to the literal extent and say it doesn't say
anything
about women, Well, women also have equal everything in this country.
Any
lawmaker that voted this only for men and not women would be committing
political
suicide. You see, when you take God out of it there is no case.
Further more, This subject is not something for the constitution at
all.
If so all out traffic laws would have to be included in the
constitution
as well as every law in the country for that matter.
Stuff like this is to be left up to the individual states to determine.
They
too must not consider God in their decision where again there is no
case
without God.
GOD
You can call him anything you want to. I believe
there
is a supreme power that made all this possible. This planet didn't just
happen
to be just the rite distance from the sun in an orbit that did not take
it
too far away or too close to destroy life. It didn't just happen to not
being
hit by some errant astroid that would destroy it. It didn't just happen
to
have the rite combination of gasses, animals and plants to support
life.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Illegal immigration has gotten completely out of
hand.
There are some pluses and some negatived about this subject. First of
all
they don't work for slave wages. Many of them work for $10 an hour and
up.
Where the problem is, Americans WON"T do this type of work. If
Americans
were all that was available to do the work our farm products at the
grocery
store would skyrocket up in prices. We do need these people.
What I don't like about it is that those who do come
here
illegally are getting the same benefits that the legal immigrants get.
I
they come illegally, there is a reason they can't come here legally. If
we
send the back they return in a week. If they come illegally, don't
issue
them a drivers license. Don't give them welfare. If they get welfare
they
can send more money out of the country and live on food stamps and
welfare.
Don't give them tax refunds. No free medical care, NOTHING AT ALL. Make
it
beneficial for them to come legally. Those who do come legally should
have
an easier time getting their papers to work. If they do come illegally,
then
let them pay for the privilege.
NASA FUNDING.
A lot of people don't like the billions of dollars
spent
by NASA in space exploration. First off the country that
controls
space controls the planet. Look at China now. They have entered the
space
race. They plan to put a man on the moon. They are not doing it for any
reason
other then to gain an upper hand in the control of space. We need the
first
base on the moon and we need a base on Mars too.
Not only that, but every dollar spent by NASA in research and
development
comes back 7 fold as taxes for the products that find their way to the
store
shelves such as night vision and microwave ovens (See "tax breaks for
big
business" below). I say let NASA have every dime they want.
PHONE SOLICITORS
They are the spamers of Ma Bell. Yes they have the
right
to speak their shit but they don't have the right to be heard by me. I
don't
care if it puts people out of work. Let them starve. I'll tell you rite
up
front, if you are a phone solicitor I will ask you for pictures of your
mother
doing the family dog. I will insult you, abuse you and treat you like
the
shit you are. That is my right and like you I don't have the right to
be
heard by you. You can hang up any time you want.
WE DO
BELONG IN IRAQ
The following excerpt was taken
from
http://www.globalsecurity.org/intell/world/iraq/fedayeen.htm
It is difficult to establish the exact date when the beheading of women
campaign began in Iraq. Witness accounts report the public beheading of
women from June 2000 through to May 2001. Saddam’s Fidayi conducted the
beheading operations, which took place in two stages. Accompanied by
the leaders of the Ba’th party, the Fidayi made a night raid on the
district. The latter was gone through with a fine toothcomb to
eliminate any hints of revolt and in order to discover any weapons. The
population was summoned for the next day at prayer time. They arrived
at the stated hour at the home of the victim, who was dragged out in
the clothes she is wearing. She was then stretched out on an iron
bench, her head hanging down,
in
front of her children, her family and the
whole population of the district. The executioner and his assistants
were dressed in brown bearing the logo ‘Saddam’s Fidayi’ and usually
did not come from the district or the region. The Feddayi detailed to
carry out the beheading took his sword held out by an assistant and
cut’s the victim’s head off. According to the scenes described, the
head was exhibited or the body and the head are thrown into black boxes
and taken away.
Women
belonging to families suspected
of being hostile to the regime or whose members are in prison as
“opponents” (the term of course covers a considerable number of
definitions) were particularly targeted.
To hell with WMDs, this one act alone is more than enough reason to
have gone to Iraq and remove Sadam. I don't care who you are, If you
believe this should continue or be overlooked, You support this being
done in front of the victims children and are
NO
BETTER than those who committed the act in my view.
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE
I believe in separation of church and state. Nothing
religious
should be displayed on public property. I also believe that any
preacher,
priest or any other representative of any religion should also follow
this.
They should not speak on political views in the church. Their job is
saving
souls. If they are preaching politics then they are not doing their
job.
TAXES
I have no gripe about the taxes I pay. For the paltry
amount
of $50 or so a week I get to live in the biggest and best country in
the
world. I can come and go as I please, have a nice house and car,
worship
as I please, feel safe in the streets, have a voice in the government
and
be anything I want to be if I am willing to work for it. I think
everybody
should pay an equal percentage of their income in taxes because if you
make
more money, then you are getting more "THINGS" and getting more benefit
of
what we have here.
TAX BREAKS FOR BIG BUSINESS
I think the big oil companies and other big
businesses
should pay NO TAXES at all. The more they make, the more they
invest
and the more people they hire who pay taxes. The trucking companies pay
highway
taxes, The stores that sell the products pay taxes and the person who
buys
the product pays sales tax. In exchange for this they should be
required
to not contribute money to political campaigns or they would loose
their
tax exempt status.
TERRORISM
If you support terrorism, terrorist countries or any
organization
that supports terrorism then you are a terrorist too. Either you fight
terrorism
or you are a terrorist. There is no middle ground here.
US INVOLVEMENT IN WORLD AFFAIRS
We didn't ask to be the policemen of the world. The
world
made us that. They did that when they let their country get out of hand
and
uncontrollable so it could not function. Then they could not feed it's
people
or keep law and order. They can feel free to ask for food and help
getting
the country under control BUT if we do, you better get your ass in gear
and
straighten out the problems that made it necessary to ask our help in
the
first place or we will do it for you so we don't have to feed you
forever.
We do not accept dictators. We are a free country. If any country tries
to
take that away from us we will do whatever is necessary to maintain
that
freedom. If you attack us you will be dealt with. Personally I feel
that
if this becomes necessary, then we should be reimbursed by the affected
country
for our expenses. At the moment we are rebuilding the entire country of
Iraq
including it's economy. We are even paying the wages of the people. We
should
not have to fork over all this money so you can profit from it and we
get
nothing in return. We should be reimbursed in some way. If you do not
agree
with that then you should be sure not to make it necessary for us to
come
bail you out.
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ
Sadam showed us that he had them, was ready willing
and
able to use them when he used them on his own people to kill 5,000 of
them.
He also told us that he would use them on us. He could have avoided the
war
by showing the inspectors where they had destroyed any as he later
claimed
he did. However he did not do that. The world has no choice but to
believe
he had them and would use them.
