The geniva rules do not apply to these people as they DO NOT fight for any recognized country nor are they in any uniform representing a country. Ask the many mens family that was murdered in WWII who were captured out of uniform & were declared spies & executed. Secondly since they are prisoners of war, they should be tried by Military courts not CIVILIAN in the US as they are not citizens. As for length of being detained, ask John McCain or thousands that were on the bataan death march. We still have POW's in Viet Nam or the torture they recieved in the congs custody. What about the roadside bombs, cutting of one's head, using women &
children as sheilds. You probably haven't been in service to your country so get a life.
The audacity of these peasants booing. Don't they realize I'm the new Messiah, I'm going to save you peasants, & I'm going to save the world. Just wait, next I'll show you I can walk on water-TRUST ME-.. Normally I change channel when the Great One speaks but I had to hear his BS to a group who have more inteligence than he thinks he does. Oh by the way get there names, I'll make sure they never boo me again
This is to all the people who wanted to make history. Well congradulations!!!!!!! Yes you made history, you put a person into the highest office in the land who in just over 100 days has put our country on the verge of bankruptcy, ignored our constituion, apoligized to the whole world on how bad we are, on the verge of destroying our way of life which we have enjoyed for over 200 years, made us a weaker country, encourage a welfare society & thinks he's doing a great job. There is more but wait a little longer. But the worse thing he has done is SALUTE when he's around the troops or his private planes. He dislikes the service, never served, what gives him that right. Anyhow, I hope you all sleep well. Next election get out & vote-get these idiots out of office-Rep or Dem-Put someone in who will work for the people. I want to say more but it won't get posted. VOTE_VOTE_VOTE
thank you-I wasn't able to post all & it was continued but for your info- the 2 councilmen who voted against the change were never re-elected
Continuation: as I can't get all in 1 post I'll finish here. Hopefully this will give a chance for thought. We stuck together & showed common sense. There is NO reason it can't be done today. We hurt the fat cat's pocket book & they didn't like it. The only way we can change what we don't like is VOTE. Make sure who you vote for whether Rep, Ind or Dem has common sense. Oh ya- the 2 councilmen who voted against the change were never re-elected again
I have been thinking of this for weeks. Is it possible today???????I was born in medium size midwest town. When I was 18 I bought a motorcycle as did many of my friends. Of course in those days when we went out we called it scooping the loop. Well to shorten the story, many of us (so-called bikers) would go downtown, approx 8 blks & would park in an open space. Sometimes there would be 3-4 of us in the same space. Well of course the police said thats not legal & gave us a ticket. Well we got mad as it only made COMMON SENSE that we would park 3-4 bikes in one space. We got together & talked & foruntaetly we also had a person on the city council who also rode bikes. In those days Fri's was the only night stores stayed opened & was there best business night. Anyhow on Friday night for about 3 weeks we scooped the loop & parked one bike to parking space. As one left, another took there place. Needless to say the law was changed & it was done without violence or threats. It was a group of people who seen the advantage in common sense. If it could be done in the late 60's early 70's no reason it can't be done today.
I cannot understand how something like that happens. I'm on SS for 5 yrs now. Last month was the 1st time my check was late,(auto-deposit). Until this yr my benifit s were $874, now with the last cost of living, $917.I can't afford to live in the states on that so I live in Costa Rica. I still haven't recieved my $250 & every 2 years I have to go to the US Embassy to prove I'm still alive.
Of course if anyone can tell me where I can live on that anywhere in the states, please tell me & I will return to the States. At the rate our Gov't is going, (this Admin) I'm worried they will find a way to take away our SS. I've worked since I was 12 yrs old & feel the Gov't shouldn't be messing with SS except have the Govt pay back the 7 Trillon dollars they borrowed from the fund & have never paid back. That would fix a lot of problems. With what happened, you want Govt Control like they want????????????????? Think About It.
I also read that many people here are afraid, I'm not afraid but concerned. I'm retired, live on SS.Vet, 67 yrs old & willing to fight fo my country again. I didn't vote for Pelosi, Reid, Franks or Dodd, oh ya, I didn't vote for him either. I'm niether Dem or Repub but American. THERE IS PLENTY OF BLAME TO GO AROUND, both parties. Yet if we think about it, we are also the blame. We just voted people in by party or what they say. We don't check them out. I will attend as many Tea Parties as possible but hopefully they will also include State Capitals. In the meantime Vote those A$$-HOLES out in the next election
I have been reading the comments, the one's that say give the new administration a chance, how much of a chance you want to give. They have already spent & want to spend more than all the Pres in history. How many more lies do you need to hear? You have a Sec of Treasury who won't even give a straight yes-no, knew about the bonuses to AIG & lied. How many campaign promises has Obama broken? As you may note, I won't call him President as he hasn't done anything Presidential. He ought to resign & admit he is over his head. For person who is suppose to have such a good education, he is doing some pretty stupid things. To be con't
