Why doesnt the gov't close the borders and enforce its immigration laws instead of conduct warfare on its citizenry?

There Is No Fourth Amendment!!!
by What-A-Coincidence inhttp://www.infowars.com/?p=3295.
skull and bones member, war criminal and traitor george w. bush recently signed hr 6304 or the fisa amendments act of 2008 into law that effectively makes the fourth amendment null and void.
the new law disregards the protections guaranteed in the fourth amendment and allows the government to spy on people without a warrant so long as the government reasonably believes that they are gathering information on somebody from a foreign country.

Do black Americans claim Obama as one of their own?
by digderidoo ini was watching an interview with a black american recently about barrack obama.
interestlingly he said that black americans find it hard to claim him as one of their own.
he said that black people would much prefer to have someone who is from the stereotypical upbringing of a black american to be the presidential candidate.

I have to ask... that "Red Green" fella... we see him on TV down here. Is he "conservative" or "liberal" by Canadian standards?
Haha, you can't place him anywhere, he's too random. That is a favourite show of mine though. He is considered an old school nerd... whereas harold is new school nerd.

What should upset you the most about high gas prices
by free2beme inyour paying so much in gas right now that it has brought out national economy to its knees, and yet the thing that should upset you this most is this .... the goverment is doing "nothing!".
not one bill has been passed, plan implemented or action taken.
all talk and no action, which is why our government needs to be fired and replaced or this country is done.. .

Buddy, you are quoted economic journals, as I said economics is not a hard science... where is the data? I dont care about someone's opinions that are not based on oil well physics, that's all that matters when we are talking about a resource in the ground, not the speculation of people trying to make money off said resource.
Wow, nice graphic, I didn't know gas prices have increased in the past few years...

To me, Obama is an ultra-liberal. Period.
Pfft. PLease, in Canada Obama would be considered a Conservative.

What chaps me the most is that this current huge spike in prices is caused by investor speculation and not by the supply. All just to make a buck.
Source please?
All the data I see show that over 50 countries are physically producing less oil now than in the past... past their "hubbert's peak" to give it a name. Not because they don't want to, you can't sell me that. Their economies and governments do all they can to ensure a steady supply. Look at Sudan, the northern government is displacing all those people in the south so that they "own" the discoveries that have been found there.
Here's an interesting statistic: If you want to keep up with the demand thats ever marching upwards while our supply flattens out and drops, you will need to raise production by 200 million barrels a day by 2020. This will be because most new production will have to offset the currently declining extraction rates of virtually every current exporting nation. (world uses around 85 million barrels a day now and is expected to "want" (i.e. demand) 120 million barrels a day by 2020). This is impossible, as all middle eastern countries are fighting just to stay at their current rates... Saudi Arabia is at 12 million BPD, and they are saying thats all to expect.

tsk..tsk..shame on you! What do you mean the government is doing nothing???
Didn't they just take over the IndyMac bank on Friday? Didn't they bail out Bear Sterns? Aren't they about to bail out or take over Freddie Mac and Fannie May? LOL...didn't they sign a good FISA bill? Oil? What problem with oil? The oil companies have thousands upon thousands of leases they don't even use and pay virtually nothing to the American people for - here's a novel idea. If they aren't going to use those land leases for all the oil they say isn't there = then give them up or tax them heavily. Force them to either open the wells up that are there or force them to hand back the land and let the taxpaying owner of the land decide what to do with them. Peak oil is only easy oil. I'm not upset about it at all - I don't like it, I think its all manipulation and I think it's pushing the world into a global depression which will only subsequently result in death or tragedy for those who can least afford to resist it.
Oil is just one part of all the mess, the financial industry is another. There are 92 banks on the watch list but nobody has the government watch list because they don't want another run on the banks.
I'm going out to enjoy the day - driving down to get some groceries and take in a movie - fill up the car while I'm out - think about planning a road trip. Why not? As quick as I replace those energy saving lights, more coal fired plants are being run in China so whilel they work on a plan to reduce their emissions over the next 30 years to catch up to the rest of the world, I think I'll live the best I can.
sammieswife.
sammieswife, good points about the gov't trying to bail out the banks (while not helping to bail out the common mortgage holder). However, if you take the idea that the gov't doesn't want the economy to tank (because well they want us to keep sending all we got their way) I wonder how you think that the gov't has all this hidden oil they aren't showing. For one, the gov't isnt in direct control of oil discoveries... that's a private enterprise. Oil companies that want to icnrease production have to report higher reserves, this OPEC did in the 1980 when overnight many of their constituents recorded doubling reserves to be able to produce more on an annual basis.
Economics is not a hard science, its a fantasy based endeavour hardly based in solid reality (speculation markets anyone?). Oil Well Physics is what we are concerned with. Yes the easy and cheap stuff is gone, which means we now mine in Alberta... mining is expensive, and only became economically feasible after oil breeched 60 dollars a barrel. With less energy and money to go around, it becomes a negative feedback loop of corporations simply sitting on their profits. Why do oil companies not spend anything on exploration anymore? Is it because they've found everything and to spend more is pointless?
Wouldn't worry too much about China, they experience rolling blackouts and sometimes 30% of the factories aren't running at any given time. They are suffering major coal shortages which are responsible for said blackouts. With an economy that's growing EXPONENTIALLY at 7-8% a year, their economy will double in a few short years... unfortunately economics will have to pay homage to physics, as does everything, and the paradigm of infinite growth will hit the wall of finite earth.
If people simply understood the exponential function, population and other means of growth would be more seriously discussed. We've already drilled and used up half of the oil we've found, 1 trillion barrels, since 1859. If we are to double our energy needs by 2030 WHICH WE HAVE TO DO if we want to continue to have an economy that grows at 1-2% a year, that means we will have to produce nad burn the last remaining 1 trillion barrels of oil in 22 years. Oil Well physics dont work like that. Once the pressure subsides, you have to pump in natural gas or water if you got none to keep the pressure up, lowering the rate and ultimately recoverable oil and increasing refining costs... its a relentless decline of the Energy Returned on Energy Invested, or ERoEI, a simply idea not too many people consider when coming up with "solutions" to our energy "needs".

Check out Federalist No.69 "On the Real Character of the Executive"
Goddum, please get over the obsession with the Executive and Judicial branches of your government, why hasn't Congress declared war since world war II? Why hasnt congress done anything in 60 years? Why are years referred to by the one man in office at the time? The Executive should be no more than an organiser. And for foook sake, remove him as head of the army, that's just stupid. Like Julius Caesar.

Letter From My Elder Brother 2 Years Ago ; My Reply to Him
by flipper inas some of you know, me and my wife 2 years ago were accused of " circumstancial fornication" 1 month before we were married because my ex wife ( divorced 1998) and my youngest daughter , both witnesses, drove an hour and a half away from where they lived to find me at my fiances house at 9:30 a.m. in the morning to take my fiance to get her tires fixed.
both my fiance and me were fully clothed !
then my ex-wife ran and gossipped to my witness parents and older siblings about it , bringing about them writing condemning letters to me ; without even checking out the accuracy of the false charges.

Humility! More like masked contempt at those that choose not to act like a masochist.
