Perhaps some of the "Neofaschist Jews" should visit one of the Concentration Camps in Germany. The experience would be quite sobering. It's one thing to read about the concentration camps, but quite another to actually stand in the center of one. I have stood among German friends in the concentration camp at Dachau, Germany. I have seen the crematorium off in the distance, the gas chamber just outside the camp, and the horrific medical facility where medical experiments were carried out. I've also marched along side my friends and their family in remembrance of Kristallnacht. This is definitely a period in history that should never be repeated. Time has a way of desensitizing people, allowing them to forget. History will repeat itself if we don't learn from it. Genocide should never be tolerated, and yet we continue to stand by and watch from the sidelines. The Darfur region is a prime example. Will mankind every learn from their mistakes? or learn to respect life? and to tolerate one another?
Today, most people think they are smarter, and would never be susceptible to this technique. Unfortunately, they are very naïve. How else could a leader convince an entire nation to give up their rights guaranteed under the Constitution? By using FUD to instill hatred against an entire religion (today it’s Moslem). When I ask most people what they think of the Patriot Act, they say it’s necessary to protect our freedom. Interesting concept: Give up our freedom to protect our freedom
What is your problem?
Is it:
A: You are so self important that you think anyone talking in a foreign language must be talking about you? Relax, if they were, I'm sure they would be laughing!
B: You are a victim of FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt)? You actually believe that immigrants are the reason Social Security is failing? That they are taking jobs away from hard-working Americans? That welfare doesn't work because of African
Americans?
or
C: You are just plain stupid. Maybe you should consider a brain transplant.
Your 'Taking Refuge...'is a very insightful, well written article. I am impressed. These two candidates are incapable of seeing past their own greed. Greed is the cause of the current healthcare problems, not the solution. For Mr. Edwards to insist that raising taxes is the only way to fix the healthcare system shows his lack of understanding of the problems, or at least his unwillingness to fix the problems.
It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to convince sheep to give up there rights. In the wake of the VA Tech tragedy, many people are calling for the removal of the 2nd Amendment. They claim this it is no longer needed in this country. I asked my son what he thought about this, and his response was "How would we protect ourselves from a corrupt government? Who would be able to stop them from taking over this country?" I wonder what these people will think when they find themselves in a 'Police State' with Mr Cheney as the self-proclaimed ruler of this nation.
Others are using this tragedy to try to change the 2nd Amendment to ban assault weapons. Never mind the fact that the killer didn't use assault weapons, or that a would-be-killer could just as easily build a bomb from instructions on the internet. They at least will sleep better at night knowing that assault weapons will be banned.
I love it ! I just sat down and read a few of your posts on your site. I love the points you make and I love how you don't dance around the facts.
Very impressive !!
Do you have any opinion on the following Republican candidates? Thompson, Romney, and Dr Paul? I'd like to read your opinion of these candidates.
Thanks
Solution 1: Create a National ID Card, just for the immigrants. How is this going to fix the problem? legal immigrants are already documented (Green Card), and illegal immigrants will still not abide by the rules. This plan does not make sense.
Solution 2. Build a wall around our borders. Maybe, but illegal immigrants will still find a way into this country. This could lead to more 'indentured servants', as it will increase the cost of smuggling people across the border.
Why not enforce the laws that are already in place? If we make it impossible for illegal immigrants to get work in this country, then they will have no choice but to follow the established rules. Here's a few areas that should be addressed.
Punish businesses that continue to hire illegal immigrants.
Fix the Social Security Administration. The SSA is aware of the fact that SSNs are sold to illegal immigrants to assist them in obtaining work in this country. This is criminal, and should not be tolerated.
The masses are asses, very few would even come close to realizing that this makes more sense than fighting over control of a region that most Americans would never understand anyway. The lack of any plauseable Energy Plan continues to make America and other countries as well,highly dependent on "their oil".Why is it that American Politicians find it more important to fight a "war" that isn't really a war, over taking care of American's at home? The majority of people in America stand or sit idlely by and watch as more and more of their Constitutional Rights are taken away by the rich and wealthy politicians that only care about money,they care nothing about the welfare of American's, it's not their future at stake(politicians), their future is wealthy, healthy and bright.
Wake up America! It's time for people in America to realize that we are no longer all powerful and the decision makers are doing what they want, not what we want, and worst of all they are getting their way at the expense of "stupidity"! "Ignorance " is not just something limited to politicians, it's contagiously spreading throughout America.
That seems to be the tactics used by our current administration, and the majority of Americans buy it! The Libby trial is a prime example, another is the Immigration Reform bill.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." Lucius Annaeus Seneca 4 B.C.-65 A.D.
"Naturally the common people don’t want war. But after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it’s always a
simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." Hermann Goering at the Nuremberg Trials.
"A faulty database has prevented federal auditors from tracking more than $7.3 billion earmarked for the reconstruction of Iraq, according to USA Today. As a result, federal auditors still don't know how much waste and fraud has occurred."

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if
it stops moving, subsidize it.

I don't make jokes I just watch the government
and report the facts.

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
-Thomas Jefferson
As always, it was a pleasure chatting with you.
For McCain and his response when dealing with questions regarding age: He missed a golden opportunity to turn this negative issue around. Instead of calling the young person names, he could have said something similar to the following:
"My life experiences have given me the knowledge and wisdom to lead this great country."
Given that his age has been an issue with the media, he (or his campaign manager) should have been prepared for this question.
