RACE HORSE TO DONKEY

A donkey is a race horse crafted by a government committee.

LIBERAL VS CONSERVATIVE

We all want the same things in life. We want freedom; we want the chance for prosperity; we want as few people suffering as possible; we want healthy children; we want to have crime-free streets. The argument is how to achieve them...

LIBERALS - believe in government action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all.  It is the duty of the government to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights.  Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need.

Liberal policies generally emphasize the need for the government to solve problems.

CONSERVATIVES - believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense.  Believe the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals.

Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems.

LIBERALS ON ABORTION

A woman has the right to decide what happens with her body.  A fetus is not a human life, so it does not have separate individual rights.
The government should provide taxpayer funded abortions for women who cannot afford them.
The decision to have an abortion is a personal choice of a woman regarding her own body and the government must protect this right.  Women have the right to affordable, safe and legal abortions, including partial birth abortion.

CONSERVATIVES ON ABORTION

Human life begins at conception.  Abortion is the murder of a human being.  An unborn baby, as a living human being, has separate rights from those of the mother.
Oppose taxpayer-funded abortion.  Taxpayer dollars should not be used for the government to provide abortions. 
Support legislation to prohibit partial birth abortions, called the "Partial Birth Abortion* Ban"
(*Partial Birth Abortion:  the killing of an unborn baby of at least 20 weeks by pulling it out of the birth canal with forceps, but leaving the head inside.  An incision is made in the back of the baby's neck and the brain tissue is suctioned out.  The head is then removed from the uterus.)

The terms "left" and "right" define opposite ends of the political spectrum. In the United States, liberals are referred to as the left or left-wing and conservatives are referred to as the right or right-wing. On the U.S. political map, blue represents the Democratic Party (which generally upholds liberal principles) and red represents the Republican party (which generally upholds conservative principles).

REPUBLICANS FOR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

Republicans envision a decentralized America in which responsibility is returned to the individual We believe in volunteerism , local leadership and states rights rather than control by government beauraucrats.

LIBERALS PAY BILLS?

As one of my liberal friends commented recently about the budget deal being cut, "It's like the guy who says, 'I paid all my bills ... I put them on my credit card!'"

NEED $2,450 TO GET HOME.

Hope you get this on time, sorry I didn't inform you about my trip to Spain for a program. I am having some difficulty here because i misplaced  my wallet on my way to the hotel which contained some cash, credit cards and some other valuable things. I am so confused right now.

I need you to assist me with a loan of $2,450 to sort-out  my hotel bills and get myself back home. I will appreciate whatever you can afford to assist me with, i will refund the money back to you as soon as i return, let me know if you can be of any help? ASAP.
I currently don't have a phone where i can be reached.

FREEDOM OF CHOICE ACT

Freedom of  Choice Act


 

"The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing that I'd do." -- Senator Barack Obama, speaking to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007

Pro-Abortion Senators Propose Bill
To Invalidate All Limits on Abortion

WASHINGTON (February 4, 2004) – Leading pro-abortion members of Congress have introduced a new bill that would invalidate all federal, state, and local limitations on access to abortion.

THE PATRIOT ACT

USA. PATRIOT ACT

The purpose of the USA PATRIOT Act is to deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and other purposes, some of which include:
Enhanced interrogation.
Wiretapping on foreign messaging.

The Act dramatically reduced restrictions on law enforcement agencies' ability to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial, and other records; eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expanded the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and broadened the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism

      Congress enacted the Patriot Act by overwhelming, bipartisan margins, arming law enforcement with new tools to detect and prevent terrorism: The USA Patriot Act was passed nearly unanimously by the Senate 98-1, and 357-66 in the House, with the support of members from across the political spectrum. This act was extended for three months last Februray with most Republicans in favor and most Democrats in opposition. Their reason to oppose is fear of violation of civil rights and of privacy. 

DAYTON APPEALS TO THE EMOTIONS OF THE MASSES.

according to the IRS, the top 1 percent pay roughly 39 percent of all income taxes. State tax rates are similar to federal, so earning 20 percent of all income while paying 39 percent of income taxes seems like “chipping in.” Either Gov. Dayton is ignorantly unaware of this fact or he’s willing to sacrifice the property rights of a minority in order to appeal to the emotions of the masses.

QURAN 4:34 ENCOURAGE MEN TO BEAT WOMEN

No.2 "Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme." (Dawood's version of the Koran, Quran, 4:34)

OBAMA AGAINST RAISE OF DEBT CELING IN 2006

As a senator, Barack Obama said in 2006 that a bill to raise the debt limit was “a sign of leadership failure.”  but now sez "it's different"

THE STORY ABOUT OBAMA'S MOTHER, CANCER AND INSURANCE? NOT QUITE TRUE.

On the same day that President Obama peevishly walked out of debt-ceiling negotiations with congressional leaders, The New York Times reported that the White House had declined to challenge an account in a new book about Obama's most compelling argument for health care reform - the tale of his mother Ann Dunham's final days fighting with insurance companies about coverage for her cancer treatment.
No one who followed the 2008 presidential race could have missed the story, which Obama told more than once, of Dunham's death from uterine and ovarian cancer at age 52. As told by Obama, his mother was fighting until her last breath with an uncaring insurance company about payments for her treatment. The company wouldn't pay, Obama reported, because his mother's cancer was considered a pre-existing condition. Eliminating pre-existing conditions as an obstacle to insurance coverage was a central tenet of health care reform and the Affordable Care Act that has resulted.
"I will never forget my own mother, as she fought cancer in her final months, having to worry about whether her insurance would refuse to pay for her treatment,"

FIRST LIE: The truth is that she had full coverage on her employers private healthcare plan to pay all  medical expenses. The policy denied was a disability policy , designed to pay all other expenses other than medical expenses, that she applied for when she was already disabled. That is a pre-exising condition.

SECOND LIE: The truth is that he was not sitting at her bedside leading to her death while campaigning for offie in Illinoise and arrived in Hawaii the day after she died.
