the point is virtually none of our 3 trillion dollar budget is spent on any of that stuff. it’s spent on wars, ladeling out pork for israel and saudi arabia, subsidizing things that should have been put out to pasture long ago , beaurocracy, the massive budgets and staffs of morons like bill frist and john kerry and so on.

I don’t doubt there are government programs that do an adequate job, but we are morally culpable for the wars our governments stars and the poverty their horrible policies cause. I don’t want that culpability. bulldoze the beltway. end the welfare, warfare state.

our money already pays for the police and the roads and everything else. just eliminate them middle man

” Clay Johnson is the Deputy Director for Management at the Office of Management and Budget. The Deputy Director for Management provides government-wide leadership to Executive Branch agencies to improve agency and program performance. Prior to this he was the Assistant to the President for Presidential Personnel, responsible for the organization that identifies and recruits approximately 4000 senior officials, middle management personnel and part-time board and commission members.

From 1995 to 2000, Mr. Johnson worked with Governor George W. Bush in Austin, first as his Appointments Director, then as his Chief of Staff, and then as the Executive Director of the Bush-Cheney Transition.

Mr. Johnson has been the Chief Operating Officer for the Dallas Museum of Art and the President of the Horchow and Neiman Marcus Mail Order companies. He also has worked for Citicorp, Wilson Sporting Goods and Frito Lay.”
Now there is a set of “creds” for our next Director of DHS! Terrorists beware! Usama your days are numbered! Well look at the bright side… The decor at DHS will improve, all agents can now get their suits and outfits at a 50% discount and by mail order no less… get expanded credit cards to help increase their personal debt from Citicorp, better discounts for sports equipment and free munchies….

Prayers for DHS? How about a perpetual novena? And we worry about terrorists….Sometime we are our our worse enemy….. Thank God the National Hurricane Center has been off mark…eh..so far….

I’m upset that our impotent democracy didn’t have him and Rove frog-marched out of the WH. What are these boys and girls dying for in Afghanistan and Iraq?

Revelation 3:15-16
I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

Will this apply to the McCitizens?
My rep hears from me regularly asking for impeachment and accountability. Our Senators here are bought and paid for GOP loyalists, Cornyn and Kay Bailey Huchison. When calling them isn’t effective enough, protesting in the city isn’t effective enough, and these jackasses can walk out on their own terms….what is the use of all those great ideas of the “founding fathers”.

These little plays in the public eye are getting sickening. You can always count on the loud mouths go claim they’ll hold this admin accountable…but then the meeleymouths quibble and moan that it might be ugly, and people won’t like it. Leiberman makes an art of it. At least he was partially honest by changing his political affiliation.

What use are rights when not exercised?
What use are my eyes if I do not see, my ears if I do not hear, my legs if I do not walk or run, and my mind if I don’t think. What use is my mouth if I say nothing, or nothing of use?

So what use is there for a Constitution and an oath to it if not followed and honored?

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A police officer died Monday after crashing his motorcycle while riding in a motorcade for President Bush’s visit to the city for a fundraiser for Sen. Pete Domenici.

here’s the gay blogger that’s been after craig for some time. Last fall, Craig called allegations from a gay-rights activist that he’s had homosexual relationships “completely ridiculous.”

Mike Rogers, who bills himself as a gay activist blogger, published the allegations on his Web site, http://www.blogactive.com/, in October 2006.

An old woman I met in 1999 who had lived in Texas for most of her life told me “If Bush gets elected, I’m moving to Canada. He’s turned Texas into a pile of stinking shit where nothing works and that’s just what he’ll do to the country if he’s elected president.” She was right, but I don’t know if she ever moved to Great White North.

As the late Molly Ivins said, “Next time you want to elect some boob from Texas president, listen to me first.” She knew all about Junior 12 years ago.

the EPA was created in the 70′s. has the air gotten significantly beter since the 70′s? better enough to justify the billions and billions we’ve put into it. money that could be spent bringing the 38 million americans living below the poverty line into the middlee class. not worth it at all.

“FDA and all the other government watchdog offices that are supposed to use tax-payer money to protect the public welfare, which the Bushies have been gutting, privatizing and turning over to political hacks whose only loyalty is to Bush.”

so the solution is to not give the government money for programs they can’t do. virtually all the programs that are poor under bush were at best mediocre before.

“Thanks to Bush and his cronies, Texas is one of the worst states in terms of pollution. ”

texas shouldn’t have elected him then!! fuck texas. they vote for pollution they can have it

Ditto the EPA, FDA and all the other government watchdog offices that are supposed to use tax-payer money to protect the public welfare, which the Bushies have been gutting, privatizing and turning over to political hacks whose only loyalty is to Bush. You want to see an example of state-government oversight of the air we breathe and the water we drink, then go to Texas…cough, wheeze. Thanks to Bush and his cronies, Texas is one of the worst states in terms of pollution.

We shouldn’t have to worry about being able to breathe when we go from one state to another. There should be Federal standards that are enforced across the country and for that you need the EPA, just as one example.
