    So the entire Demcrat Party are liars too, they all agreed at the time. Lets hear it...you can't blame one person and give a pass to everyone else that had the SAME briefings. ANd it wasn't just the USA...other European countries did too.

    I agree..about the kids lacking any discipline too.

    If I got it at school I got it at home too. And the parents at least share the blame in that....
    Stating an opinon Smoothy and in our political arena yes there are liars on both sides. I wish our schools today and parents today were like the parents we had. I hate politics .:)

    I'm happy for you! My kids are wonderful children also. We haven't had a school shooting in our city, but I think about all the other places. Have a good day!:)

    Yes, it's about parenting and making that the priority. My post was simply to state that having prayer or mention of a god in school doesn't make a difference. It's the parents that make the difference.

    I think you are owed one... after all, in our local schools where I live... they admit 19% of their already high budget (one of the higher in the country) goes towards educating Illegals offspring. And they cry about not having anough money. Simple... get rid of the illegals, California loves them so much... a one way bus fare is cheap... send them over there. Then BAM... 19% of your budget is freed up.

    They live 15 people to a three bedroom rental... most pay NO taxes... yet WE have to be bled dry to pay for what they aren't, and they don't even belong here, or even have the rioght to be here. Not fair at all.

    Disciplining your kids has nothing to do with religion... or lack thereof. It has everything to do with being a good parent, and not trying to be your kids best friend. Friends they get in school... they only have two parents (in most cases anyway).And I grew up in a household that was both Catholic AND Protestant. Basically raised as a protestant by my choice however. Yeah I was given that choice growing up.

    I agree about the parenting. I think well behaved children are raised by parents who who don't let them get away with everything. Some kids don't have that. Your children and mine and a whole bunch of others are brought up to respect people. :)

    How do you figure? Then NO renter pays taxes.

    (Psssst. The landlord figures his property tax into the rent he charges. I've been a landlady. I know.)

    Yeah the property owner pays taxes on ONE house or Apartment... do those taxes cover the services consumed by 15 people? I think not.

    Now, I am not exaggerating here, Where I live we DO have problems with large numbers of Illegals crowding homes, apartments etc... far in excess of legal occupancy standards, and the authorities do bust them... all the time. Because the cost of housing is so high, and so are the taxes.

    Most Illegals work for cash, off the books and pay NO taxes... yet their kids suck our school districts dry, they clog our emergency rooms where they get treated and do NOT pay the bills leaving us the taxpayer to foot the costs. Many drive without a license.. without insurance and screw people when they cause an accident and don't pay for their damages. And by illegals... not all are hispanic. There are plenty of illegals from Russia, China, India, Pakistan etc, too. I mean ALL of them. Too many focus ONLY on the Hispanics... ignoring the others.

    Best Damn speech I've heard in years... by a Judge... not a politician (politicians are all liars and cheats for the most part), people from outside the USA might not understand its significance however. Because its all about constitutional rights and limitations inposed on the government by the constitution.

    We already know Obama is a liar and Crook, he's a politician from Chicago... nuff said.. (they all are)... the Judge spells out what the others are doing as well. The constitution is really clear about the limits of the Federal giovernment... a concept liberals want to ignore.

    How do you know when Obama is telling a lie? His lips are flapping.

    I meant Napalitano. Try to keep up. You paint with the very wide brush don't you: all liberals are this, all liberals are that, all Chicago politicians are this... and it's always soemthing very negative. Why do feel the need to do this? You don't believe that people are individuals?

    Hey... Obama is CLEARLY violating the constitution... anyone who can read the constitution knows Federal power is not unklimited or all encompassing... and it never was form the beginning.

    However I've never seen any proof what-so-ever presented that discredits a single word of Napolitanos speech.

    Gee, Obama, Mayor Daily... Blogdonovich there's three... can you name a single honest CHicago politician that WASN'T in trouble over doing something they weren't supposed to do?

    Besides... most people who identify as liberal, believe ONLY what the DNC tells them to believe... even when presented proof. Hell, closer to home (where I reside), look at Marrion Berry. Democrat... caught ON VIDEO, smoking Crack Coccain in a hotel with a convicted Prostitute... whining he was set up... and democrats agreeing he was set up... and 20 some years later STILL do long after he served his time...

    Yeah there are individuals out there... but sadly there are far too many people that think they are owed entitlements, yet pay no taxes... and now expect free health care the rest of us are supposed to pay for. Liberals just happen to be who most of them identify with.


    I happen to be sick and damn tired of paying for them... get a job, make a sacrifice like the rest of us. And screw the illegals... I don't give a damn if they die in the gutter, I have my own bills nobody is helping ME pay. Including trying to save for a retirement since they give SSI to people that never workded a day in their life much less paid into it... I've been paying into for 30 years now I may never see a dime of.

    Hell I don't even have my own cell phone because I need that money for other stuff... but when was the last time you saw a poor person WITHOUT a cell phone? Hell even the illegals have cell phones...

    I'm so ticked off, I will sell my extra stuff on eBay... or shred it before it goes in the trash... if they are going to tax me exen more so the lazy don't have to sacrifice... I'll be damned if I will give them my stuff free any longer. Yeah it's a lower tax deduction... but hell, It would be worth it. I have to buy my own health care... let them buy their own... not extort it out of me. ANd yeah... my charitible donations in the past were never insignificant... but they will be... like ZERO. Lazy bums getting free health care I have to pay for BY FORCE on top of my own... screw them all.

    And oh yeah... I am so fired up over this... you would not imagine. It's a world class sore point with me right now... over and above anything and everything else.


    Sorry Karma... so you know this isn't directed at you... you can't imagine how irritated I am over this right now. I'm barely keeping my head above the water right now... without this new crap.

    High School droppouts made that choice... they have to live with it... I am not going to joyfully part with MY hard earned money without a fight. I busted my butt, graduated... paid my own way through college with NO help from the government because I was too white... spent a decade paying off those loans.. clawed my way to where I am now... and some liberals think I should be sharing what I have with someone who never made the effort to better themselves... huff huff... grrrrrrrrrrrr...

    Actually, no, he's not. He was never a politician in Daley's machine. He dealt with it as a community organizer to improve Chicago South Side neighborhoods.

    I came out here to college in 1963 and never left the area. I have no love for Daley or his minions, and, thank God, have never lived in Chicago so that Daley or his father was my mayor.

    Obama is not a product of Chicago politics. His political experience is in the 'hoods and as a state senator.

    Barney Frank is still in office... do you care?

    THat goes to show the integrity of the Democratic Party...

    Durban... bibes, kickbacks

    Half of Obamas Czars are Tax cheats... yet silence from the Democrat party...

    TheTimothy Geitner... head of the treasury and thus IRS is a Tax cheat... well documented... and PROVEN. Democrats act like it was a parking ticket.

    When the Democrats clean up their hours RIGHT now... then worry about lesser people.

    Or does the Democrat party excommunicate people who point at the would class cheats and thieves in their own party they turn a blind eye to?

    How About Charles Rangal from New York... tax cheat, no calls from even one democrat to kick him out...

    Yeah... right. Democrats are allowed to do whatever they want... and they are defended by the democrats who protect them...

    Yeah... you want me to have respect for them? Lets see them do to their own offenders what they HAVE done to Republicans in the past... THEN I might start to care.
