“What next? First we have McCain version 1.0 joining with Richardson and Bush 43 in calling for reformation of immigration law, then version 2.0 saying “Build the dang Fence.” Next we have version 2.0 saying he will follow the recommendations of the Joint Chiefs on DADT, then version 3.0 saying he wants to do more studies. And now we have Kyl 2.0 blocking ratification of START, a Reagan accomplishment. Kyl version 2.0 is silent on the reasoning of 1.0. This is the sort of change we all can do without!”

“Which party unlocked Social Security’s ‘lock box’, pouring every generation’s contributions into the general fund to be used for social engineering programs? Hint, starts with a D. Which party was afraid to correct the theft? Hint: starts with an R. The cure for that corrupt D & R disease lies in frequent doses of hot tea.”

“Most Muslims in the Asian country practice a moderate brand of Islam. While in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim country, President Barack Obama remarked that the United States ‘is not, and never will be, at war with Islam.’ Does that include radical Islam groups affiliated with al-Qaeda the militant Islamist group?”

“While I fully sympathize with those who also sympathize with that family in Tempe who have occupied their lot on 1st Avenue for 118 years, the law of adverse possession does not apply to any governmental body who thinks they own the land. Governmental bodies are too stupid to know what they own and who might be occupying it. What does apply is our vote and what counts is our outcries of shame! So get out and vote and do not stop becrying such atrocities.”

In answer to the 11/21/10 venter's question: “Which party unlocked Social Security’s ‘lock box’, pouring every generation’s contributions into the general fund to be used for social engineering programs?"
-------------------------------------------
In 1968 Social Security was changed to withdraw funds from the independent "Trust Fund" and put it into the General Fund for additional congressional revenue.
To cut out Congressional Social Security spending and a plan to STOP the federal government from borrowing against Social Security's annual surplus revenue to fund other government programs, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) introduced ‘The Social Security Preservation Act of 2003’ [HR219] in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2003. It seeks "to amend title II of the Social Security Act to ensure the integrity of the Social Security trust funds by requiring the Managing Trustee to invest the annual surplus of such trust funds in marketable interest-bearing obligations of the United States and certificates of deposit in depository institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and to protect such trust funds from the public debt limit".
