You are right, no guarantee it will be granted. But according to the law of the land, people do in fact have a right to request it as much as that seems to bother some Americans.

And you are right we dont NEED the UN or Nato... but countries that think they can go it alone usually fail, or get visions of world conquest.

Is that what we are hoping for??

Nothing the government farms out to private companies ends up saving money without decreasing quality.

I take it yo have never visited the Smithsonian, which aside from some add ons is FREE to all visitors. Same for the National Zoo

So you really think, if they made Parks, museums and Schools privately run pay based, they would somehow take out less taxes?? You can not be that gullible.

It has been a long time but I just looked it up...it is free. Now, if we only didn’t have to buy a plane ticket to get there.

I would say everything in the private market has far better quality than the government...and it is cheaper. Private markets can only pay so much. The government overpays on everything because they don’t look at the pocketbook.

Did I say that? Nope. I agreed that the government will never lower taxes. I then said the problem is the voters attitude that simply accept that.

Now, for somebody that is pro-voter, rarara, what is the purpose of voting if you are accepting of a government robbing you?

How are you guys not talking about Covington Catholic?

That is the biggest media misfire I have seen to date. On Saturday it was the definition of fake news before the entire story unraveled and it turned out to be just blood thirsty media members and celebrities trying to publicly execute teenagers.

These kids were targeted by media because they were white and wearing MAGA hats. The initial coverage of them could not of been more racist.

Sunday morning I texted some of my most liberal friends and told them “remember this 24 hour reel when trump gets re elected and you are wondering how? Or why?”

People should be in jail over this. What’s even worse is race hustlers like jemele hill doubling down despite overwhelming evidence that her initial take was wrong and racist.

I was reading the origin of the story was initially tweeted out by 1 person and was picked up by hundreds and hundreds of bots on twitter until media began running the story to paint a false narrative and persecute white kids.

We know social media monsters like twitter are incredibly liberal and censor right wing thought while promoting left wing thought even if it’s intolerant. I think this is worth some sort of investigation to be honest

Self proclaimed democrats and left leaners should be coming out of the woodworks to condemn this Covington catholic circus.

Retake control of your party that has been hijacked by lunatics

They fancy themselves as "progressives."

They find hatred in their hearts for Catholics. They love abortion of children, especially white children. Even if they're teenagers and even if more black children get aborted anyway.

The lunatics are loudest, but they have a lot of deranged support through the ranks.

If home country violence is not a solid enough reason to grant someone Asylum, then Ellis Island should be nuked.

And yes I know you hate the New Colossus and the plack it stands on. Inviting the worlds downtrodden ito America.. the nerve of that French bitch.

I will propose it. It would be far cheaper.

Sharkinva said:

The problem is, the government would still own them, and as such private contractors would either

1. Over Charge the government
2. Over Charge the public
3. Both.

I dont consider it the government robbing me. I consider it the cost of living here. As someone that lives here I realize that some of my taxes are going to go towards things I support, and some will go to things I dont. Now if we spend billions on a wall, and the power grid where i live fails every other major storm.... or the roads wash out... then yea i got an issue.

You consider the cost of living here to be the government wasting your money?
