While I understand that this is a topic with many gray areas, I have to fall back onto the law and make it a black/white issue. If you dont follow the rules to get into this country, then you are no different than the illegal that comes to the US, commits crimes, and takes advantage of a...
Once obama got involved, it became a no win situation for him. That was the mistake. I see nothing wrong with getting these two together and having them talk. It defuses the situation, regardless of who was wrong, and the people that dont want this issue to go away, have nothing to be pissed...
I wonder though, how many of the people jumping to take this Gov handout, are the very ones railing against the gov for all the spending and bailouts. Clearly, this has been a huge success and the dealers/consumers want it to continue. I actually wouldnt be surprised if a lot of domestic cars...
too early to tell. If the economy swings around for a recovery, which they always do, he will be fine. The question mark is the timing, it all needs to happen within the next 3 years for an easy re-election. Health care and all the other spending could be his downfall, but we cant predict how...
NK's biggest threat is regional stability, which in turn results in a huge economic impact on our economy and influence in the region, read China. You already have the Hawks in Japan wanting to modify their defense constitution and pushing for their own nuclear program, as well as SK wanting...

Of course it would have been different, the prof couldnt have played the race card. With that said, there was a black cop at the scene if you look at some pictures of the arrest. Im know that minorities face terrible and unjust profiling at times, but I just dont feel that this cop had it out...
Although the police report is only one side of the story, Cambridge doesnt strike me as a hotbed of racism and I doubt this millionaire prof is living in the ghetto either. The professor certainly played every race card he could to exacerbate a situation that could have been easily resolved...
I def agree that vets that need assistance due to their service of this country should receive the best, but I know it isnt perfect, so at the least, its good to keep attention on these issues.:yesway:
Im not sure how many vets you know personally but my family member receives good VA benefits, and all his ailments that may have been caused in Iraq, are looked after. I think its a knee jerk reaction to always blame the gov, especially with the high profile horror stories that make the news...
