that's so sad I just wish that we had a government that doesn't have a say in what you do in the privacy of your own home, as long as you aren't hurting anyone. It just really gets to me the fact that our government tells us what to do, and that we have people in the USA that think the government is looking out for "our" best interest....no they are looking our for the interest of their bank accounts.... Jenna (I'm a Jenna too haha) - that's why I'm a Libertarian. ha ha ha I voted Libertarian all across the board pretty much this year (except for the things that only had 1 candidate...I didn't vote for them...)

It is sad that women and children are brainwashed and do not know the truth and how the world really is. If only they could see that it is just pure hatred.

Did you see the part with the kids watching the video tape of their father blowing himself up (while killing innocent people) and being really happy about him becoming a martyr? Oh and the cartoons they feed to the kids? Fucking sick!

Jenna - Me too! Only Libertarian, when voting on the props, I voted with others best interests in mind, not just what *I* like better (I could say OMG POT IS BAD but think.. yeah, but it's others' choice to make, not mine, same with abortion, blah blah).. and of course, like you, when 1 candidate, didn't vote for 'em (unless I actually did like the person).
: )
In other news - THAT'S SICK (the vid)

That video is showing only a small percentage of the Muslim people who are extremist. Unfortunatley, good Muslims never make the news. Don't be fooled into thinking ALL Muslims are this way.
It is easy to compare the Iranian president to Hitler. Very scary to think about that. If I were a Jew I would be very scared.
Thanks for sharing the videos Mike.

Thanks for sharing the videos Mike. Unfortunately in the Muslim faith, a "small percentage" is quite a lot of people. But yes I agree that not all Muslims are like that. Its scary to think young children are being taught such hatred.

yes Mike you are right. Since Islam has a following of approx. 1.3 Billion that small percentage is large BUT it still can't contend with all of the good Muslims and the rest of the UN if we all work together. I always enjoy your posts. I hope one day we will meet and discuss many things together.

Are there 9 zeros in a billion? I always enjoy your posts. I hope one day we will meet and discuss many things together. Oh thanks Michelle! That would be cool to meet someday and fix the world! lol ;D

I don't believe the amount of extremist groups would even be 1/10 of the 1.3 billion. What MOST people don't know is that the countries holding the LARGEST amount of muslims are in Indonesia. It has a population of about 161 million and approxamatley 95% of them are Muslim. Did you know that if you added up the TOTAL populations of Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon (The countries thought to have the most muslims) you STILL wouldn't have more muslims than Indonesia.
The point I am TRYING to make here is that you have to take into concederation each countries population and the majority that are Muslim and take a miniscule percent of that into account for the extremist groups.
Was that confussing? I hope not!!
By the way Mike, I'm not arguing with your propaganda post b/c I totally agree it is horrible.

Ok so as most of you know, the ICE raided several Swift & Co. plants yesterday. Here in Colorado more than 300 people were taken into custody. This whole situation sucks because everyone is a loser. Innocent people have lost their identities and innocent children have lost their parents. I know this is a touchy subject, but I don't feel sympathy for the people who were taken away. Be it from their own ignorance or what-not, but they did not go through legal means to become a citizen of the USA, so I do think that what happened was right. Sure it probably could have come after the holidays, but life sucks sometimes. I just feel bad for all those children who didn't know their parents were doing anything wrong and now they have to be in foster care. It's just horribly sad. There is a lot of outrage from the community out there, lots feel that it was an injustice. Of course you feel it's an injustice when you are in the wrong and don't want to admit it or make up excuses as to why it's ok that you are doing illegal activities. I know that if I ever got caught doing what I normally do, I would not bitch and moan because I think it should be legalized. The fact of the matter is that an illegal action is just that, illegal, and if you get caught then get ready to accept the consequences. www.thedenverchannel.com/news/10523648/detail.html

That is a iffy subject. I am really torn on the whole illegal immagration. I don't want to pay for them to come here BUT they WORK.....
Maybe the government should look into having OUR homeless working in the slaughter houses and be field workers. Have our homeless people do the jobs that the illegal immagrants are doing.
I'm all for improving your life but when it comes down to the bottom line it should be done legally.

For some reason, I feel I need to reinstate my political views after the latest posts I have made.
I believe every man and woman has the power and will to make it in this world. Those that can, will do so. Those that don’t, by choice, should be left behind. If they have Children and they don’t want to work even though they can work, the children need to be taken care of. First and foremost its all about the children.
The welfare program needs to be overhauled to take care of the people that really need the help. I live in the city and see the waste everyday. People trying to sell their government issued food stamps (at a loss) for cash to buy cigarettes and booze.
Just a short example: (Not necessarily the answer) I believe you need to give people an incentive to work. Get a job at minimum wage (fast food or whatever) and work 40 hours a week (here in St. Louis, that would be between $250 and $300 a week). The government doubles your pay (Now its $500 to $600 a week.) If you are a single parent you get more (within reason). Or the government provides daycare. ( I actually hate that Idea) I hate big government. Big government wastes money. (Not that the Republicans arnt doing that now)
I believe every man or woman is allowed to say what ever they feel like saying when they so chose. I believe the words of the individual will be taken at face value and there is always a reaction accordingly. Example: Ann Coulter John Kerry Michael Richards Maybe Mel Gibson (and many more jokes in Hollywood) I am so against the Hate Speech legislation that is going on right now. (Where would that stop once that starts?)
I believe your life is what you make it. I believe this because every year LEGAL emigrants come to this land and make something of their lives even without knowing the language. (They should assimilate into our culture, we should not have to assimilate into theirs ). They can do it so why cant an inner city kid who went all through middle school and high school make it here? I know a little about the city school system because my wife works in it.
I believe every law-abiding man and woman that has passed the same course as the police had to go through and have to continue to update their permits (at their own cost) just like a driver’s license, has the right to carry a firearm. Notice the words “law-abiding “. It’s in the US constitution live with it.
I believe homosexuals deserve the same rights as everyone else. No more no less! Including the right to get married (even though most married couples today (myself excluded) would wonder why you would want to do this) the right for health care through employers (only after you are married.) Just like everyone else. The right to adopt because there are so many kids that need to be pointed in the right direction and I believe two loving parents no matter what sex they are, are better than none. With that said, I believe a child needs an adult male and an adult female in there live from day one. I could care less if they are in love with each other. (They just need to care for each other). I believe that is healthy.
I believe abortion is wrong. I believe it is in fact killing a living human being. There is nothing worse than killing an infant in my opinion.
I also believe that that is between you and well...... whoever. I don’t have to answer to it but I will never in a million years condone it. I believe it is wrong! Period!
I can’t stop you from having one and I would never try to stop you from having one.
I believe the people that try to stop you from having one by killing Dr's that perform them will suffer a bigger hell.
I am a Republican.

My goodness Mike you had alot to say. I agree mostly.
As far as doubling peoples wages as an incenitive to work, no way. Once you go out on your own THAT is your incenitive. It shouldn't be the govs. responsibility for Joe and Patty to get off of their lazy butts and work. I would be highly upset to see some punk ass joker going into McDonalds to get a minimum wage job and work 40 hrs. to get his wages doubled WHEN you have people working at jobs for years who haven't had raises. The majority but not all of people on welfare are also collecting money for the kids they have. So they don't see a problem in getting pregs. every year b/c they will be getting money out of it. The welfare system should give out a set amount of money to cover everyone. The American gov. is to leniant in my humble opinion.
Americans need to get over the idea that they DESERVE everything. WRONG, you have to work for what you want and prioritize your money. If you have a four hundred dollar paycheck put it on your rent and don't go out and buy 22" rims or a new hunting rifle. Maybe there should be a class like this in highschool that is required before graduating called "Life 101 Do's and Dont's".

People saying "Oh you should go to school NOW." No, I won't and I can't. You know why? I don't have the money right now. I will in about 2 years. I don't mind waiting. I have an almost 3 year old daughter, and she needs to be taken care of. Right now she is. If I go to school NOW, we'll be going into debt. There is NO WAY I am doing that. It's called RESPONSIBILITY. I am also sick of people saying "oh why am I so poooor and you aren't waaah." (well for my friends who yell at me and complain that they are so poor yet they spend money on DVDs and Cds first, rather than their bills). I tell them - We don't spend money on things we don't need. We spend money on our bills. We make sure our bills are taken care of. THEN we SAVE and THAT'S how we can buy things we'd like to have. Chuck E. Jesus H. Christ!

I am a Republican. wow Mike I've found someone who could sum up what I feel pretty much to a T. Even though I would rather not put a label on my political offiliation....I do fall mostly into republican/libertarian views.... Though I do not believe in abortion at all, I have a friend who has had two, and I don't know how to feel. Ultimately it was her decision, and I hate it when people try to force their opinions on me, I just told her that I didn't support her decision. I couldn't stop her from doing it but what I can do is NEVER EVER do the same. My boyfriend now is not against them, and I've told him that if I were to get pregnant, if he stood by me or not (I know he would though) I would still have the baby. Ok there's my two cents for the day
