It's all a Conspiracy
Here is the deal no matter what happens we have no part in it. Whether it is tis or whatever...but what is certain is that 9-11 was an inside job, and there is too much proof to surround this than most know of. For instance the first 3 steel frame buildings ever to collaps due to fire. WTC, and WTC 7. Also the wargames going on which hardly anyone knows about involving the government prepairing for a terrorist attack involving planes being used as guided missles.And the towers collapsed in a way that is not possible when involving free falling due to damage. The way these buldings pancaked was much like a detonation. Which reminds me. A majority of people in or around the buildings at the time heard numerous explotions prior to the towers collapses. Why did we wait 2 hours before sending planes to intercept? Why did we know that at least 3 of the 9-11 terrorists, also big roles in attack were terrorists, yet we did not question it. Why were 2 of those terrorists living using their full names in the same apartment, same room as an FBI agent? Why was none of this included in the full report. Why is there only one video for the Pentagon? Why are there no plane parts at the pentagon? Where are the plane parts for the Pennsylvania plane known as flight 93? And more so, why did the EPA tell people ground zero was safe for clean up, when actually it wasn't and it caused many people to become ill and even death. Also, before we could evaluate the frames of the I dont know either the 47 built to take on a plane colunms of the towers Or the massive steel framework to china immediately after the collaps and melted them down? Isn't that against FBI regulations because it is the destruction of of evidence. Did you know that aspestus was in the towers and it would have cost 1 billion dollars to fix. That is just one motive, there is so much more information out there for the public, and there is a clearer explination as well. I just wanted to make you all think and take into consideration that our government is screwing with us. Go to infowars.com or even just look up 9-11 inside job on any internet search engine. Discover the truth for yourself because the government will not give us the truth.
Bin laden... PLEASE ATTACK THE U.S. CONGRESS
I think that the subject line speaks for itself. I am a veteran. I have always considered myself to be a loyal and patriotic American. In the past five years I have seen and heard more evidence every day that our's is the most corrupt government on this continent. Our government no longer exists to serve the American people, it exists to serve American Corporations. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness has long since given way to Wall Street Profits and The Goals of Industry. I fully intend to take my retirement and move to Costa Rica as I am convinced that American Citizens no longer have a voice in their government and I am sick to death with this realization. When an idiotic leader from Iran speaks to the American people we have to listen twice to make sure that he isn't telling the truth because we know damned well that truth no longer comes from our own government. I believe that if our founding fathers were alive today, Washington, D.C. would be in flames or the FBI would mow them down and the corporate bought headlines would exclaim that another terrorist plot has been foiled. Congress has made a mockery of democracy and we are helpless in demanding change. Obama is a child in a den of lions.
The progression of President Obama
Considering the situation of the country inherited. The president is doing an outstanding job. Give the man a break. I have not heard any criticism toward the succeeding president.
Obama
Obama inherited a terrible situation. At least he is trying everything to be a success when no one else knows what to do. We should give him years to make the best out of a very sad legacy.
I wish him well.
Obama- to Jim Newman of VA
Jim,
Any particular reason you reference Clinton then go and
attack Obama? Why is it that your party continues to ignore
tha fact that your president ruined this coutry for 8 years.
You know as long as we all define success as Dem or Repub
we want get anywhere... I don't think either party really
works in the interest of the regular guy.... They continue
to make decisons based on their political interest and
advancement.... so anyway my friend Jim.... don't foregt about
what your beloved Bush did to this country....

Religion and Healthcare
subject: Religion and healthcare
Democrats and Republicans seem to want to clump all the religious fanatics in with christianity, which is so wrong. A true christian wants all people to have a good, peaceful, and happy life. We prefer that people believe in the Lord, but no one should force others to believe their way. Our Nations’ laws were founded on the Ten Commandments whether people like it or not, it is fact. People cannot live together unless they choose to obey these laws. A Nation would soon fall, if people are allowed to kill, steel, lie, bear false witness, etc. This is fact. We must live by these laws to keep our Nation great. As people fall away from these laws, our nation is going to fall just as the Roman Empire did. God gave everyone free choice. It is up to each person to choose what they believe, but if they choose to harm others, they must be stopped. If they keep breaking laws that harm people, they should loose their rights. You can’t stop peoples choice of religion as long as they are not harming others. A true religion helps others.
On healthcare: Tom Daschle has many people angry. He is a greedy, very selfish man. That was a terrible thing to say about seniors and they don’t deserve medicare just because they are old. Who does he think he is. He has all the Insurance he wants. Just because a senior is poor, that is no reason to just let them die. If he was on the other end of the stick, I bet he would be the loudest whiner. There are many wonderful seniors out in the nation who do a lot of help for others and they don’t have much money. Just because they get sick or get cancer or anything else, they shouldn’t be hung out to dry. Remember every person who lives long enough will become a senior. these laws you pass may come back to haunt you someday.
Obama
I have been very dissapointed with the new president.
I am afraid he'll turn out to be even less productive than Bill Clinton.
Four Years (and worse yet eight years) is a Terrible thing to waste
Obama's foes
What wrong with those idiots in Washington, that continues to
complain about President Obama's plans for the country and the economy. Instead of making all these negative comments, they should be pitching in and helping him to turn things around.
Instead they perfer to nit-pick about who he shakes hands with
and other idiotic remarks. Why don't they do what they were
elected to do as legislative officialof their respective
states. This bureaucray of party lines is just another way
to cover up their own inadequacies. They need to board a plane
and fly to the black hole in space and disappear off the face of
the earth. EHOUGH SAID!
Health Care
The Insurance companys make the decisions now for your health
care so why not the government? at least they will need my
vote come Fall.Joanne
Health Care Reform
The remarks of "Most Pressing Need" pertaining to previous comments are exactly right. Such comments symbolize the method that Republicans are employing to establish pre-WW2 Italian fascism in America: The creation of such an ignorant and stupid public that it will be increasingly susceptible to GOP propaganda, which is why whenever its members are in power they cut the budget for education.
This form of fascism is most agreeable to Republicans because it married authoritarian government and unfettered capitalism.
Regarding health care reform: Why is there such a disconnect between what the public wants and what Congress seemingly wants? Because the former is not the entity being bribed. In fact, it is legalized bribery perpetrated by Big Everything that will prevent meaningful reform on all fronts from ever being enacted.
This is because capitalism is the true state religion. The tenet its adherents are slavish to without exception--including regard for human life--is infinite and perpetual growth. The deadly consequences of this tenet were not so apparent when population was low, but now the rapacity of the current level, coupled with the fact that earth has limited resources, means humanity will become extinct before the end of this century unless...
In other words, you can have capitalism or you can have a sustainable planet, but you can't have both.
And here are the "religious" tenets capitalists worship above all else:
1. The rich deserve to be rich simply because they ARE rich.
2. The poor deserve to be poor simply because they ARE poor.
3. God wants it to be this way, otherwise it wouldn't be this way.
