ParticipantSounds like a good way to check out a lender. It would have been nice to have this a few years ago.

ParticipantAllan,
Nothing in print is binding. The bill will be totally porked up before it ever becomes law even if it is passed and a lot of the blue dogs are scared $hitless over the possibility of having to work for a living. They are all afraid of the back lash from the taxpayers. Unemployment is much higher than reported, California is bleeding red ink and this legislative boondoggle is nothing more than a power grab. All but the most ardent Marxist on Piggington’s get it and finally, none of it is about helping the poor. If it was there would be some tax relief, not VAT as proposed by that moron Pelosi. The only ones that will do well here are the very rich, who can go elsewhere for what they need, the very poor who will always be cared for here (until the revolution when they will resort to canibalism) and the corportate insurers who will become even wealthier when the uninsured by choice are force by fiat to get insurance. This disaster brought to you by well meaning ninnies in Congress! Choice and competition.

Participantsob,
I am against this:
A. Silencing Political Dissent
Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT Act creates a federal crime of “domestic terrorism” that broadly extends to “acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws” if they “appear to be intended…to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion,” and if they “occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.” [10] Because this crime is couched in such vague and expansive terms, it may well be read by federal law enforcement agencies as licensing the investigation and surveillance of political activists and organizations based on their opposition to government policies. It also may be read by prosecutors as licensing the criminalization of legitimate political dissent. Vigorous protest activities, by their very nature, could be construed as acts that “appear to be intended…to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion.” Further, clashes between demonstrators and police officers and acts of civil disobedience — even those that do not result in injuries and are entirely non-violent — could be construed as “dangerous to human life” and in “violation of the criminal laws.” Environmental activists, anti-globalization activists, and anti-abortion activists who use direct action to further their political agendas are particularly vulnerable to prosecution as “domestic terrorists.”
However, to prevent 9-11 type incidents, I fully support waterboarding or dipping bullets in pig fat or other ways of eliciting cooperation. I am pragmatic that way. I do not want this country destroyed because we are weak or perceived as weak by our enemies. They shot the Nazis they captured in WWII in a very perfunctory fashion and I do not believe terrorists or other enemy combatants deserve Miranda, a free attorney, bail and any other legal consideration applied to criminals. War is war and criminal laws are designed to ensure those arrested are innocent until proven quilty. These terrorists caught in the act or in the battlefield do not deserve Constitutional protections. I think a lot of them deserve a firing squad. So I must not be a true libertarian….
