Re: a good debate
Ply,<br /><br />Comrade,<br /><br />Lets see, Allow,
YES ALLOW Christian prayer is an intrusion? Very confusing. The public ed system already ALLOWS Muslim prayer, Wicken events and in some situations even Satin worship. This is all condoned as "Multicultural", therefore "Enlightened" and Good. But Christian rituals,
.Even as in our "Pledge of Allegiance" (one nation UNDER GOD)", are deemed oppressive and in violation of the 1st Amendment. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.<br /><br />I'm by no means a deeply religious person BUT,
. I have grown weary of the principals that this nation was founded on, allowing it to become the greatest nation on the planet (qualified as I have spent too much time in many other countries around the world), dismissed as obsolete visions of oppressive racists.<br /><br />As to the wonders of the liberal initiatives, Social Security,
you've got to be kidding. I for one would see more of that tax money if I were to bury both sets of contributions, my employers contribution as well as my part, in the back yard and dig it up in the future then to wait on the enlightened ones to delve it out as they see fit. I'd be nearly a millionaire if those same stolen funds were put in a Bank Savings account at 4%. But NOOooo, we need the libs to control the purse strings. As Billy Bob Clinton said, we're not SMART enough to know what to do with our own money.<br /><br />Mediacare,.. ANOTHER HUGE Scam..I know the arguments," the intentions were GOOD" so that makes the fact that it's an abject failure OK. All we need to do is tax more and the problem will be fixed.<br /><br />Force Welfare moms to work. Look, we are an affluent society and can/should and do help to provide for those who CANNOT take care of themselves BUT,
why am I being held responsible for other peoples life CHIOCES? Yes CHOICES. In the overwhelming number of cases, the women CHOSE to get pregnant without a husband. I for one did not FORCE them to get pregnant.<br /><br />Civil Rights? You obviously forgot that AL Gore Sr. voted against the civil rights act. And which party it is that has a former leader of the KKK sitting in the Senate. <br /><br />Enron style tax evasion? Again you oopsed. It was in the '90s that these criminals developed, implemented and got AWAY with their fraud. It was under this administration that these crooks were caught and are being prosecuted.<br /><br />You have a good emotional argument BUT YOUR FACTS have really missed the boat.<br /><br />Miloman, crab, Jack,<br /><br />Yup! I think Bloomberg's brain is broken. IT must be an ego trip. <br /><br />All,<br /><br />Among the inspired brilliance of the founding fathers IS the Electorial College. By this approach, it is much more difficult for an aspiring King to purchase votes (liberal handouts) in a few select populace centers to win a majority and thus the presidency. This technique, recently proven, levels the playing field for the entire country by not allowing too much influence to be concentrated in small areas.<br /><br />The best form of government? Obviously a Representative Republic, IF the populace is educated.<br /><br />I'd bet that less then 50% of the voting population has ANY IDEA what is in our constitution. Why else would the Fed's get elected for their promissed Hand-Outs. There is NO constitutional athority for subsidised housing, wellfare, Social Security, drug rehab, medicare, etc. or for most of the taxes that enable the socialist crooks to redistibute my earnings. <br /><br />The PRIVILAGE to vote ought to pre-qualified by passing a mandatory civics test. Then at least, the populace would have some idea of the rights and responsibilities of the Federal government they are voting for.
