From "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country" to this?
Well, my favorite cliche is "
It's the stuff that dreams are made of," but under the circumstances I think I'll go with the old standby, "
Duck!"You think the country will fix itself or would you rather hire a bunch of migrant workers to fix it?
Uh huh. Riiiiight. Say, you know what might be a good thing here? Maybe cutting back on that Ritalin dosage...I could swear I just heard a sequiter say "Where's my 'non'? Oh, there it is!"
Thise are your only two choices? Automation or exploitation? It's sooo much easier on the reader with sentences like that if you actually have a
point.
I didnt realize you agreed so much with where you money is going now...
Could you repeat that? Maybe flesh it into a complete or at least coherent - hell, I'll even settle for cogent - thought, please? As it stands I feel like I should argue with my wallet about paying the rent, and that can't be right...
Its soup kitchens, drug rehab, and basic social work/outreach as far as the religious programs go.
I'm on the board of a resource center for homeless and disabled people - the only one of it's kind in Southern Oregon. The woman who started it is deeply, fundamentally Christian, Republican, and pretty much as opposite me as one can be philosophically - except that we agree that when it comes to helping those in need, there shouldn't have to be a sermon as the price of admission.
The government should stay the hell out of the religion business - period, completely, 100%. There are plenty of community organizations out there who can use the money funneled to these "faith" groups.
Big Deal. Who is that actualy hurting?
If you're referring to the melding of religion and government, YOU, you dolt! i know you don't understand and probably never will. I guess you'll just have to take it on faith...
And as for mandatory service... Im a six-year Iraq Veteran--you fuckers owe this country six BACK years of sacrifice and service for goofing off during wartime and voting for Bush twice.
If you are a vet, you should be ashamed of yourself. If you are a vet, you'll know why.
What are you doing that you cant serve your country? Plus its not like youre doing it for free--hes offering plenty of incentives for people to help out the country, especially young people.
If someone CHOOSES to enter some form of public service, I say, "Rah! Rah!" and more power to them. It's the "mandatory" part that is a slap in the face to any true American. Oh, and the word "incentive" applies to something when you want to entice them into choosing to do something. Requiring doesn't take incentives - it takes tyranny, fear, punishment, coersion, and threats.
If youre complaining about the effort to fix the country being to much work---youre kind of a lazy prick.
Well, since I didn't say anything even close to what you're asking, I feel it safe to assume that I am NOT, in fact, a lazy prick. At least, not in the sense that you mean it...
