I am fiscally conservative but morally liberal. In other words, do not tell me how to eat, pray and love and do not waste my money.
Is anyone else as frightened as I am that our military could do this?
Would military personnel here in the good old US of A actually be as mindless as the German Military under Hitler? Our government has set up guidelines for concentration camps and bought guillotines for use thereof. If our military personnel would blindly follow orders to house and execute American Citizens they can be considered no better than the German military who oversaw the Holocaust.
Here is one link, there are many it would behoove you to also look up REX-84 and the subsequent orders that Bush signed off on.

Curious as to people's thoughts on the article below. Maybe we can have some honest to goodness dialog instead of all the hate between libs and cons.

Conservative, intolerant people allowed to vigilante their own brand of justice? We are suppose to be civilized, don't you know? Anyone who would defend the perpetrator on this is perpetuating the hate.
3 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoIs this really something we need to pay for?
A friend recieved a letter with a trash bag from the State of Texas. Now I understand littering is not good and have no problem with it being against the law and a fine issued if caught. You know, "Don't Mess with Texas" is a great program. But evidently anyone can turn you in for littering by calling a number and reporting your license plate number. The State will then send you a letter with a trash bag saying 'don't do that'. I am sorry but think it is a HUGH waste of funds. That is a problem with all state and federal government budgets. Too much waste. IMHO
1 AnswerOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoIs this not in the vein of George Orwell's 1984?
Companies are now tracking everything you buy. I received a recall notice at my home for a product that was bought at a 'big name' grocery store. They tracked this through one of those 'buyer reward' cards.I am sorry but to me that seems a bit invasive. Do you people not understand the rights we have given up will NEVER be given back. I DO NOT want some big nameless corporation to know what I buy or when or where. That is my business not thiers. This is way more scarier than the right wing left wing hatred going on.

It seems as if all anyone worries about is the 'wars' we are fighting and whether or not their politician of choice is elected. People there are many things wrong with this great nation and this one I am about to tell you about is the worst.
We are fighting a war with a country where the children are dying, and not from the war. This great nation of ours spends so much military, weapons, and deceiving its constituents when a small fraction of that cost could go to making this a better world. This is the travesty. Our politicians can only think up to their wallets and power levels. They need to go and we need to elect officials who will stop these 'wars' and start really making a difference in this world.
How many of you disagree that helping the afghans and iraqis, or any others in need, with food and shelter would be the best way to win the 'war' on terrorists? We all just want to have at least the basics right? I for one, feel that would work much better than bombs.

9 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoDo we know the casualty numbers for Iraq and Afghanistan?
It has not really ever been stated in mainstream media. But do you know what the numbers are?
5 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHow long will we let the wealthy and politicians continue to 'steal' from hardworking citizens?
Do the research and check out the article in this link. I would be interested in your thoughts. IMEHO it is getting pretty close to all out revolution if our representatives do not address this inequality. If the middle class completely disappears we will be in serious trouble.
12 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhat is wrong with this picture?
I mean really, we are talking about the CIA for God's sake. Aren't they suppose to be 'on top' of things?

medicare 2nd, corporate 3rd, why do we not demand that corporations pay more? Surely that would help in additions to cutting spending. IMHO
7 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhat is the purpose of hanging bells above the outside door?
I asked this in another category unsuccessfully so thought I would try here. The people also placed red tea lights on either side of their door mat. I think they are from India and figure this has cultural significance but wanted to know for sure.
Thanks!
6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoIsn't the term lemmings?
an apt description of the voters today? I mean it looks like incumbents still have their jobs so it will be status quo in DC.
I predict a full 'going over the cliff' in our future.
1 AnswerOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoIs anyone else angry about this?
The good old USA is losing 60 billion a year in lost taxes due to tax laws put in place that corporations are allowed to follow to GET out of paying taxes on their profits. How would that affect the budget deficit?
4 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAt what point did the death of the democratic party commence?
Which democratic president really started the corporatization of the democratic party? I mean they really have turned away from the people.
9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIsn't it hypocritcal to ask for federal aid if you are a republican?
Republicans/conservatives seem to want smaller government, no socialism etc so wouldn't that mean standing on your own two feet? I mean Rick Perry has on more than one occasion refused federal dollars, decries federal aid and now he wants to get $6million for 200 homes? Isn't that socialistic to want your government to pay for this, if not why?
