People fascinate me, often surprise me, sometimes shock me, seldom inspire me, and never cease to amaze me.
Military veterans, are you ok with the gov. profiling you as a possible threat to our country?
With your military training, are you a threat to our Constitution? Should our government be concerned with your oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic?
I am a vet and am extremely unhappy about this profiling by government agencies of our military veterns who have served honorably with very little pay I might add. What an insult!
9 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoIs the "Tea Party” movement an “unhealthy” reaction to the tough economic climate facing this country?
Senior White House adviser David Axelrod suggested that the “Tea Party” movement was an “unhealthy” reaction to the tough economic climate facing his country. Which raises the question, if the peaceful assembly of American citizens against their government is “unhealthy” does this then mean these citizens are mentally ill and need to be medicated?

He didn't inherit anything. He purposefully, forcefully, expensively, passionately Campaigned For Office and all of its glories and problems. He knew exactly what he was doing and can't cry foul now. He did not inherit anything. He Wanted the office. Now he's got it.

6 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoCan it be true that republicans hate democrats more than they love America?
I would hope this isn't true. Not a historian myself (too busy surviving), I just learned - http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article9446.html - about the alleged circumstances surrounding Germany's politics and subsequent fall under conditions remarkably (history repeats?) similar to the American political landscape today.
I don't know the answer, that's why I am asking you, Yahoo America.

Council On Foreign Relations Warns Of United States Collapse By Summer, 2009 - http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1176.htm
If, however, the treatment of human beings to achieve these end results relegates us to being nothing more than chattel to our new masters than one can only determine to stand against those who seek to rule over us, to even destroy us, to keep us from destroying ourselves.
And for the Americans? According to the CFR ‘master plan’ their destruction has already begun and the summer of 2009 will be more horrible than any of them can realize.

4 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoAre you obligated to buy when your boss puts his/her kids orderform in the breakroom?
Since the object of the program is to teach the kids responsibility and offer rewards for their effort, how does the parent's taking order forms to work help the child? Especially when the parent in question is in a leadership role, subconsciously obligating the employees to follow suit and buy?
The kid with the most sales (from parents) wins the prize. The kid who actually goes door to door loses. What kind of lesson is this?

7 AnswersOther - Social Science1 decade agoIs the division of left/right artificial?
It's my opinion that the whole right/left divide that we are now experiencing is artificial. Those on the left, and those on the right, we all want basically the same things. We all want a decent quality of life for ourselves and our families. We all want a decent job where we can earn a good living. We all want reasonable (apportioned) taxes with appropriate government services in return. We all want a government that is responsive to and representative of the needs and desires of the citizenry. We all want a decent education for our children, a safe healthy environment and quality food on our tables. So why the divide? Where's the difference?
The only real difference, in my opinion, comes from social issues like abortion or gay marriage. Frankly, those are hot-button issues our political masters exploit in order to further their divide and conquer strategy. God forbid that people from all over the political spectrum come together against what is now obviously a corrupt and fascist government. The political masters use these hot-button social issues to convince people to vote against their own best interests, and boy do we ever! I've seen people vote for a candidate that strictly has corporate interests in mind, completely detrimental to working-class families, but the candidate opposes same-sex marriage.
I think the time has come to refuse to allow these political masters to use these emotional issues to divide the people against each other. We are all people after all. So how about it people? Let's stop listening to the hate mongers on the tv and radio that say all the problems are the fault of the dirty libs... stop listening to the wacky left that say the right-wing nutjobs are responsible for everything that's wrong... the reality is that the ruling class has caused ALL of this. Break free from the chains of slavery and restore government by and for the people!
