[That Latvian Guy]

Yeah, well good thing that Latvia isn't a presidential republic (where the president decides everything). Better to give the same rights for a hundred idiots. Okay, so some of them are not idiots. About 95 of them are.

[eyesbleed]

This is unbelievable.... I got that accomplishments thing as a mass email from a friend of mine. I guess one recipient didn't like it & fired this back to everybody.
-------------------------------------------------
And the sad things is, he's done 4 times as much positive as Clinton ever thought of doing! I hate to tell you, but not only is "jon" incorrect on numerous points he claims here as "fact", but he also failed to include these "accomplishments":

President George W. Bush’s first term has been among the most consequential and successful in modern times. Under his leadership, the United States is waging and winning the war against global terrorism. The United States and its coalition partners liberated more than 50 million people from two regimes of extraordinary brutality that had provided safe haven to terrorists. And we are promoting democracy in regions of the world that have never known it.
The United States military is receiving the strongest support from a commander-in-chief in two decades. President Bush has taken unprecedented steps to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction – and he has signed one of the most sweeping arms reduction pacts in history. America is in the process of deploying a missile defense that will help protect the United States and its allies from catastrophic attacks. President Bush signed into law landmark legislation that better prepares our defense establishment to meet the challenges of the 21st century – and he announced the most comprehensive restructuring of US military forces overseas since the end of the Korean War.

During his first term, President Bush has signed into law three major tax cuts, including the largest in two decades – and since the summer of 2003, America has had the fastest-growing economy of any major industrialized nation in the world. Under President Bush’s leadership, the economy has been growing at rates as fast as any in nearly 20 years. The homeownership rate has been at a record high. Interest and mortgage rates have been near historic lows. The core rate of inflation over the past year ranks among its lowest in 40 years. The rate of growth of Federal spending is slowing, jobs are being created at a brisk pace (1.3 million jobs in the first six months of this year), and the unemployment rate today remains below the average unemployment rate of the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s.

President Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act, the most important Federal education reform in history, one that insists that testing, accountability, and high standards will accompany record new resources. Medicare has been modernized, prescription drug coverage has been added, and Americans now have the opportunity to use Health Savings Accounts, tax-free accounts designed to help individuals save for health expenses. Faith-based groups are receiving unprecedented support and encouragement. And President Bush signed into law the most far-reaching reform of American business practices since the time of Franklin Roosevelt.

To ensure the safety of our citizens, President Bush has implemented the most sweeping changes in the organization of our national security institutions since World War II. With the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, America has seen the most extensive reorganization of the Federal government since President Truman. President Bush has proposed the most thoroughgoing reorganization of the intelligence community in more than a half century. And thanks to the USA PATRIOT Act, Federal law enforcement agencies can better share information, track terrorists, and protect American lives.

President Bush has strongly advocated open markets for American goods; affordable, reliable, and secure energy supplies; and environmental standards that are making America’s water and air cleaner. In the social realm, he has championed a culture of life and a new culture of responsibility; the strengthening and defense of marriage; judges who strictly and faithfully interpret the law; and stronger work requirements for welfare recipients. He has made civility a touchstone of his rhetoric. He has put together an Administration comprising enormously talented men and women – and one with more diversity in senior positions than any in history.

These achievements are anchored in a set of core beliefs: America is a defender and promoter of freedom – and the advance of freedom brings peace. We must lead the world with strength and confidence. Religion should not be banned from the public square. Government should encourage ownership and opportunity, compassion and responsibility. The proper role of government is to create the environment in which small business owners and entrepreneurs will take risks and invest, hire workers and spark economic growth.

The last four years have been a time of extraordinary challenges. They include the horrific terrorist attack on the American homeland; global wars; an economy that was sliding toward recession when President Bush took office; and the revelation of corporate scandals long in the making that undermined investor confidence.

Such times demand a leader of clear convictions and determination, hope and vision, integrity and the courage to act. These qualities are the hallmarks of the Bush Presidency. There is much that remains to be done – yet as this document illustrates, an enormous amount has already been accomplished. President George W. Bush put forward a historically ambitious agenda and restored dignity to the office he holds. He has provided steady leadership in the face of unprecedented challenges. The United States is safer and stronger, more resilient and better for his efforts.

Another Bush 'accomplishment'

Cheap Tomatoes?
By A CA Teacher
9-11-7

This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent
From a California school teacher - - -'As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:


I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels.
Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens , Huntington Park , etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 Schools.


Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight.
About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids. (Our TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; My budget was already substantial.
I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America . (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less than 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them 'Putas' whores and throwing things at the teachers who were in tears.


Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc., etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?
To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes; spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.
Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc., etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.

We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it.
Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return?

There are many hardworking Hispanic/American citizens that contribute to our country and many that I consider my true friends. We should encourage and accept those Hispanics who have done it the right and legal way.
It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about 'politically correct' that we don't have the will to do anything about it. If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know.

CHEAP LABOR?
Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?
Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.
Consumers don't want expensive produce..
Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.
But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase 'cheap labor' is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as 'cheap labor.'
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets and 'earned income credit' of up to $3,200 free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps.
He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.
He requires bilingual teachers and books. He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.
If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare.
All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.

He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.
He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.
Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills and his.The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.

Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people. THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EITHER PARTY. AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT ONCE!'
THIS HAS GOT TO BE PASSED ALONG TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE OR WE WILL ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE A FEW DON'T CARE.
As US citizens, we need to VOICE how we feel NOW - being quiet is what got us where we are now - if we continue to be quiet who knows where we will be in another 10 years.... SO SPEAK UP!
(As written. Capital letters are not mine. LB)

[iameye]

oh yes, lets blame the poor for all of our sociological woes. Its all their fault.

You totally missed the point.

good, I'm glad.

[LOVELYRITA]

Don't forget our wonderful president was business partners with Bin Laden family in OIL.....

Oh yes, he's such a wonderful president...

ugh

[mindgames]

The point is they are not poor!!!!! They bleed the system and they can afford to have late model cars, homes, cell phones, designer clothes. Free health care and education and in some states FREE COLLEGE education. They don't buy school supplies that is all free. (One year a fight broke out at such a drive) Many states even have charities that give away free sneakers and coats, free Thanksgiving meals and free Christmas gifts. The poor that are black or white or asian are rarely seen on TV getting these freebies, they probably charge it on credit cards. The average american is living in credit card debt. Don't even get me started on taxes. Even with credit cards I don't have any of those things. Americans can't even get jobs with benifits anymore because the employers have to pay so much for health care, they either offer part time no benifits or hire temp workers for a year to 6 months and constantly fire and rehire temps or they send it off to India or Mexico. There is a myth that Mexico is full of pueblos and people living on grabage heaps selling oranges on the side of the road riding donkeys, but truth of the matter is all the usa major companies have nice businesses down there, they have nice clean grocery stores, shopping malls, nice houses. What they don't have are all the freebies they get when they come here, and its not Just Mexico, El Salvador has been invading by the truckloads. When the tax free Holiday comes people drive from Mexico to shop in the US, imagine that, the US sells cheaper clothes than Mexico. If they were so poor they couldn't afford to shop at our Malls could they? I can't even afford these "cheap" clothes I only buy when things are marked half off to 75 off.
If you have a cell phone and your wearing designer clothes you are not poor.

The teacher was right. The stores have had to discontinue many american products and order mexican products and I don't want hepatitis so I'll pay more for products made in the usa. Then the labels have changed and are now Spanish first and English second, when they used to just be English labels. All the good office jobs require bi-lingual. So contrary to popular belief they are not all maids and gardners, many of them do have high paying jobs. Although I can understand why the man that did not get cheese on his hamburger sued, he probably had to ask for it 10 times but since no one spoke english they still got it wrong. (being silly)They drop trash on the ground like there is no tomorrow. They have no respect to be in America. They hate America. I am not being racist.
Many hispanic Americans who love America would say the same. They are not taught to speak/learn English, instead they are catered to in Spanish. And WE are forced to learn spanish. When I was in school I learned more about Mexico and Mexican Independence than I did America and American Independence They were NOT teaching us Native American or African dances or traditions or Asian or German or Italian or Irish but we got steady year round education on Mexican traditions. Its as if they assimilated us to adapt to thier culture instead of vice versa. Maybe if they were not illegally invading my country I would apreciate it. This has been happening in mass long before Nafta, but as soon as Nafta hit I would see the buses dropping off illegals day round at a local grocery store off the main hwy and the neighborhood quickly went down hill. The Police are constantly butting heads its a city wide mess. The police in my town shoot first and ask questions later.
They are all individual human beings with thier own sufferings and problems and gifts and I respect that, but if you want rights and you think Mexico something great to be proud of, THEN FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS IN MEXICO or wherever. Is that too much to ask? I am not going to go to Canada and Demand free health care. I am not going to go to England and DEMAND that they let me bypass thier laws and have rights that most Englanders don't even have. I am not going to go to Africa and Demand free housing and free food and free medical care. I am not going to go to Germany or Russia and demand my constitutional rights. The only government that I can go to is MY OWN. I also find it ironic that Americans can't even protest with out being arrested but Illegal aliens can come over here and legally protest?WTF!

The infamous day with out Gringos )if you speak spanish) or day without Immigrants. I was sad that they didn't make it a whole decade without immigrants.

[mindgames]

Oh and he's not "my" president he is my dictator! He stole the vote from Al Gore, not like I voted for Gore either but oh well.

[iameye]

I strongly disagree w/ you Mindgames. you simply cannot blame poor people for their lot in life and being forced into a system not of their choosing, reguardless if it works or not. They have nothing to do with that.

What ever happened to the WPA? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_Progress_Administration
and the The Federal Art Project (FAP)?

[The Deceptionist]

As far as Bush is concerned thats an accomplishment...

Creating tension between US citizens and immigrants is clearly working for him

[mindgames]

THAY ARE NOT POOR!

I wish I could blow that up in 24 point font!

I am poor, compared to them!

you couldn't have illustrated my point any better ;D

they may or may not be any more or less poor than you or I, but thats not the point...

the point is that tension has been artificially created between two parties by TPTB

which is exactly what they want: to play us off against one another while they chillax at the pool with a beer and a smoke

Rich vs Poor
Black vs White
Man vs Woman
Old vs Young

etc.. ad infinitum

Come together - Love is all you need

[mindgames]

We can't even begin to debate the issue until people stop stereotyping these illegal aliens as poor migrant workers. THAT IS A MYTH that they often purpectuate and they just follow the party line of groups like La Raza who are funded by the Rockefellers and Rothchilds.

Even if some of them or poor that does not negate the fact that if they want us citizenship they need to do it the legal way and not expect America to adopt spanish as a second language. We do not have german or Italian or Native American or African signs and translators. Why are they so special?

And you can't deny the fact that THEY NEED TO PROTEST IN MEXICO< THE COUNTRY WHERE THEY ARE LEGAL CITIZENS!!!!!

Where do these poor migrant workers get the money to buy late model trucks and hot rods?
If they are only making $5.50 an hour how do they manage to be home owners/home renters? Where do they get the money to shop at the malls with?

Your going to deny that poor Americans suffer the most when they have to wait in the back of a line full of illegals in order to get any social or health services? How many American poor people get turned down because illegals have gobbled up all the resources?

[mindgames]

Yes D.
I understand that side of it too, the whole reason is to turn us into the north American union and while we smother and bicker amongst our differences they nail another hammer in our coffin.

We can't simply come together, that is not human nature and that is DEFINATLEY NOT what illegal aliens wish to do. You can't comb together with somebody that doesn't want to be joined in mutual comprimise. The agenda is to take over, otherwise the truly disinfranchized would be law abiding and follow the established immigration laws.

Well, I didn't necessarily mean for you to come together with them. Just come together is all. And they'll come together on their own time, too... or not - who knows..

But so long as Love helps you Come Together then you've got nothing to worry about, as the rest is an illusion

[Mellow Yellow]

What you need to understand, mindgames, is that stuff like "they hate America" really doesn't matter. Bill Hicks hit the nail on the head in his patriotism rant, youtube.com/watch?v=W27wBf7Jw34
