We are all aware that there are millions of illegal aliens and illegal immigrants in our nation and although no one can agree on an actual number, as the estimates range from 12 million to 24 million people, one thing is for sure this issue has parked a lot of controversy.Many Americans were quite appalled that foreign nationals who have snuck over our borders illegally were allowed to march in our streets carrying a Mexican Flag. In fact there are some people so darn upset they plan on...
The FBI's current spy and infiltration program "sounds like a COINTELPRO to me," said a spry 76-year-old civil rights movement veteran.Robert Keglar of Charleston, Mississippi was referring to an earlier FBI secret program -- COunter INTELligence PROgrams or COINTELPROs -- that not only promoted spying on and infiltration of civil rights groups but often harassed activists and pitted them against each other, beginning as early as 1956."Of course, we had the state of Mississippi spying on...
There is a group of online anti-Globalist, anti-US, anti-Free Enterprise and anti-elite family with European royal bloodlines; who want to remove the Bush Administration from power. That's all we need a group of psychotic, conspiracy theorists and lunatic fringe dictating US policy? Some of these conspiracy nut cases like David Ike from the UK are completely out of control with their tall tales of secret societies.Next they go so far as to call a revolution Wow? And what will that achieve,...
Some say that at the top of the political agenda should be the illegal immigration issue. Yet we see with a few protests around the country and a few Mexican Flags being waved, well what do we have? Well, we see politicians running away from the issues because it is just too controversial. This was mentioned today on a major news station and they are right;Thank you, yah no sh_t, every time a controversial issue comes up they (the politicians) go and run away. It is BS. Bunch of (P3) Poultry...
There seems to be a renewed call among my acquaintances for term limits on Congressmen. But why? We already have term limits in the form of elections every two years for Representatives and six years for Senators.Wanting to codify into law term limits is the way lazy Americans who constantly bemoan the "broken" system want to get around being ... well ... lazy.Codified term limits are a double-edged sword. Sure they can be used to automatically remove career socialist politicians like Senators...
No matter which decade you went to college you probably took econ. As David Brooks of The New York Times writes, "economics was the queen of the social sciences." Psychology, sociology, history and anthropology were "easier", not quite so solid. No longer.Economic theorists used to assume that people everywhere were natural "profit-maximizing creatures trending toward reasonableness." They believed that as people throughout the world became better educated and richer, tribalism and nationalism...
When the poor were the majority.The poor in developed countries like the USA and UK are now a minority, though up to maybe the 1950's or 1960's they had been a majority.While the poor were a majority their main problems were simply economic poverty and economic exploitation. Government bodies manned by the upper and middle classes understood this sufficiently to be able to handle the poor with some appropriateness, if not always entirely to the poor's liking. The votes of the poor majority...
Politics- a word detested by most of the common people. To an ordinary person, politics is a synonym to corruption, misuse of power, money laundering and other malpractices. Politics has earned such a bad name for itself everywhere, that even the most honest political leader is looked upon with suspicion. Elections come and go. Majority of the populace does not bother to vote. They know, once elected a candidate forgets his electorate and runs after money and power. But these elected leaders...
The Bush Administration is working hard to promote America and has even launched a very positive PR campaign. They have been forced to do this to counteract the all the negative BS and anti-Bush press, they should have spent much more. In an article in the New Mexican Santa Fe Newspaper there was a sentence:"The extent of the Bush administration's propaganda effort is unprecedented and disturbing," Representative George Miller of California said in a statement.Such a comment by a California...

I fly our flag high and proud, I love our country, and I fly it's flag high and proud, I will always be the guy that stands up for our country and it's people and it's way of life, I get sick of hearing that we have to nice and we have to be tolerant of the things that people do, I say out the window with tolerance and protect what's ours, this country is ours and we don't need to let any other people from any other land take it over.We don't need to allow people from the mid east in here,...
As we watch our President field questions in talks with the American People, it is quite evident how he got to be President in the first place. He is personable, real and does not come off as a politician podium pusher. Recently at a speech, with question and answer period at the University of Kansas President Bush was in top form and spoke with the people not at them. He was funny at times and serious at others. He fielded all the questions, dodging none. Very powerful message to the American...
Misgoverning the poor.The poor in developed countries like the USA and UK, honest and dishonest alike, are handled only by the non-street-wise middle class who run government departments and other bodies - ensuring that the poor are generally badly mistreated and misgoverned.Of course the poor in developed countries are a minority so that democratic political parties may easily see their votes as unneccessary, yet the poor are a socially significant minority whose misgovernment can seriously...
They say life imitates art but Hollywood, recently it might be more appropriate to say Art imitates life. I can remember when i was a kid pretending to be Superman, running around with a blanket flowing behind me or Luke Skywalker wielding my light saber. In either case, I was the good guy battling evil, lost in the world I watched before me.Other an pop culture references, like advertising Coke in a film or ribbing the current star, films rarely delved into current political issues....
Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers have taken another
hit in 2005. What will 2006 hold for an industry plaque by racism, discrimination, and social injustice? Farmers, ranchers, laborers, and producers have continuously battled to feed their families and keep control of their land, while trying to provide excellent agriculture products for growing America and aboard. As I traveled through the Southern Bible Belts states and across the Midwest, I continue to see the same old...
