America's Obituary!

[poopgiggle]

Recently a study was published where they looked at some bad neighborhoods. In the areas they studied, a large influx of immigrants would make the neighborhood way safer.

It turns out that the vast majority of people willing to hoof it across miles of desert to get to America (maybe) just want a job to feed their families, and they don't like drug dealers hanging out around their kids.

most of the time it's the kids who are the problem............no matter where you're at.

Thankfully our employees from Mexico and Romania can come here legally on work Visas. i had the opportunity to see their homes on their ranch for a few days. If I lived there I can't say that I wouldn't do whatever it took to come to Merica for a better life.

8 ) A Government who believes a Christian or Religious person needs to be tolerant to peoples way of life. Although Religion which America was founded on has no place in Government or schools.

I think I already know the answer to this but which religion reigns supreme over all others? Do we hang the followers of other religions or does a simple beating suffice? How closely should we follow Leviticus? And finally, what does the establishment clause of the first amendment really mean if it does not prohibit the US Government from establishing a national religion?

So are you saying we aren't screwed or this guy didn't exist?

Oh I agree we are screwed, I am just saying that guy didn't really say that, and these chain email type things only serve to hurt us most of the time, as liberals usually tear them appart pretty quickly and make the posters of such things look like bumbling idiots.

Who cares what the liberals think. It's stiff like this that sways my friends that are indifferent into voting for me to keep my guns.

Is America Screwed?

1) 16.7 trillion in debt and growing at 38,000 a second. Not counting 870 billion in college loans which only about 23% are actually paid back. Some how we have to pay 84 million baby boomers their SS with less people in the work force. 47 million people on food stamps. SS and college loans are not counted against the debt but we have to borrow money to pay for them!

The debt would not be as big of a problem if large multinational corporations actually paid income tax. The tax code is now over 70,000 pages and there are huge holes in it whereby Bank of America (and the like) can funnel profits off shore and get away with having to pay no taxes to the USA. Meanwhile the real people of the USA get to bear the burden. Also the War against Iraq was unfunded, unlike WWII, the latter in which our involvement was really warranted.

If the US can afford an $800 billion war in the Middle East, it can afford to forgive $800 billion dollars in college loans and help young people trying to make it in life. It seems the US government chooses killing young people over helping them. And this is supposedly a "Christian Nation"? If Jesus hadn't arisen and ascended into heaven he'd be rolling over in his grave over us.

Just my opinions.

Of course! What the hell country do you think this is, Denmark?

By Jingo, one more blown up brown person overseas is one fewer outsourced job stolen from an American.

The debt would not be as big of a problem if large multinational corporations actually paid income tax. Yes there are a lot of issues with the current tax code,I agree. Lets pass a flat tax so everyone can pay including the 47% of Americans that don't.It would also be nice if the government didn't spend more than it brings in. The tax code is now over 70,000 pages and there are huge holes in it whereby Bank of America (and the like) can funnel profits off shore and get away with having to pay no taxes to the USA. Meanwhile the SOME people of the USA get to bear the burden. Also the War against Iraq was unfunded, unlike WWII, the latter in which our involvement was really warranted. I am ignorant enough about the world situation that I can't make an intelligent arguement for or against the current wars but I did serve 20 years in the armed forces and believe that our troops should be supported no matter what conflicts the government involves them in.

If the US can afford an $800 billion war in the Middle East, it can afford to forgive $800 billion dollars in college loans and help young people trying to make it in life. It seems the US government chooses killing young people over helping them. The governement did help them. It gave them a chance to go to college, The wisdom of that choice is up for debate,but now it is time for them to man up and pay back what they owe. If they have to live at home with their parents, work at McDonalds and eat Ramen noodles for a few years so be it. And this is supposedly a "Christian Nation"? It is called "tough love" teaching that there are consequences to actions and to take responsibility for your actions are two of the greatest lessons that can be taught to someone. If Jesus hadn't arisen and ascended into heaven he'd be rolling over in his grave over us. The government by definiton can't be Christ-like, Government is force pure and simple. If you want Chrisitan values look to your communitiy as that is were it resides, not in government. If it is not in your communitiy then do your best to try and change that rather than just decrying the lack of it.

Just my opinions.

Dux-R-Us very good points!

Corporate taxes will they change IMO no! Why because they are the money behind Rep and Dem to get in office. Look at GE they are Oblamo's tax free business partner but you always hear the man say big business needs to pay more. Have corporate taxes gone up yes but the loop holes have not been changed. Higher taxes only hurts small business who employee more America citizen then big business. Also look how taxes are laid out do you really think a business making a profit of 4 billion is going to be hurt by taxes when they can afford 20 tax lawyers to work around laws or a family owned small business with a profit of 250 thousand. Can this all be fixed yes but with lobbyist and the greed for political money it will not change.

College loans, is it a good thing yes but most kid don't make it through the first yr after receiving a loan to attend college. Look at all the lotto money they have spent millions, with more then 50% of the student not making it pass the first year without dropping out or losing the money due to bad grades. To receive lotto funds you must have a GPA of 3.0. Smart kid and money that does not have to be paid back. Government loans is basically for under privileged kids and to make up what scholarship do not cover. But family income is considered before a loans are provided more then GPA. How does that help? Just because someone what's something, does that mean they will put in the work to get it? That answer is not always yes. To me college loans are like a house mortgage loan. Everyone wants it but not all will work to keep it then everyone else suffers. Just look at the 2002-2005 housing make everyone got a loan home prices went up then bomb crash. It's the same way college loans are going more students high tuition and we the people pick up the bill.

Government and war I think it's bullshit!! Most of out wars have been for misguided reason. It's also bullshit that we can pay people on welfare to sit on their asses and collect money but our brave, wounded hero's have get most of their help and assistants from non Government agencies or their local community. I believe that if you are willing to fight for your freedom, liberties and all other Americans and you are wounded our Government should pay for everything you need to make the rest of your life easy. Politician are taken care of just to sign and debate a law that unusually takes away our liberties. This also needs to change!!

Jesus is all knowing, does he get disappointed for our action yes but only with his love, forgiveness and his sacrifice for us we are saved from our sins!!!!!

That didn't come across to me as terribly bitter, but then I suppose I don't have the typical liberal hypersensitivity problem (hee hee haw haw).

 

[benjamin-benjamin]

can we please not go the liberal/Conservative is better/worse or smart/stupid, route. This forum is hopefully above that..

We can always count on B^2 to sing Kumbaya!

Nope, just tired of people trying to duck their responsibilites and forcing others to pick up their slack. Everything I said is factual not emotional.

Don't worry it is not about that at all, There is ONLY one correct route and those that don't know which it is aren't going to educate themselves on what works and what doesn't.
