Um, from where do you get the idea that non-citizens have no rights under the Constitution? The Constitutional rights of non-citizens are not as extensive as those of citizens, but they exist.
Maybe you should take a little time and learn about what the organization actually does before deciding that it rubs you the wrong way.
Obviously every time someone needs to see a doctor, it’s not an emergency.
However, even with the law, violations still occur:
The list I made in the OP summarize to some degree various comments I have read from the posts of Bush bashers…I said I agree with some of them.
I am pro life but pro a woman’s choice to have an abortion.
I am pro euthanasia if performed under established rules and regs.
Bush is against both choice and euthanasia almost assuredly because of his religious convictions…fine…but don’t force it down our throats.
He does not believe in same sex marriage…religious reasons? traditional reasons? Marriage is a word…some are lousy…some are good…some are tolerable.
The republican party led by our President has turned a deaf ear to halting illegal aliens from crossing into our country.
What I think, however, is not the topic here. I wanted to present the negatives attributed to the president and see if you dopers can add to the list…subtract from the list or point out some good attributes we can say about Bush.
Did you notice the part where I mentioned I agreed with a lot of thier points? Guess not. I was just pointing out what seems to be the majority opinion of the ACLU. Sorry for interfering.
FinnAgain, those are disgusting figures. Hippocratic Oath? I hear doctors don’t even take it anymore. (Somebody please tell me I’m wrong.) But today, right now (20 years after the law was enacted) how often does this happen? With all the public-funded health centers, I refuse to believe that health care isn’t available to everyone. I won’t mention who was President at the time that law was written. After all, the President is responsible for everything that happens in the country. 
16. That fucking smirk.
Man, I wanna slap that from here to Crawford.
Well, this says that most, but not all, doctors take the oath when they get out of med school. I attended a graduation at Columbia University and was rather shocked to see that when the doctors graduated, they weren’t asked to take the oath. Maybe they had taken it earlier, or would take it later.
I’d wager not very often, but it still happens.
This can provide some good resources to start looking.
Disbelief becomes something of a stumbling block past a certain point.
What the fuck-go for the gusto. Blame GW for your beer being skunky, the crabgrass in your lawn, birdshit on your windshield, and why you couldn’t get stiff with your favorite sheep last night.
Christ on a unicycle already! It must be nice to live in an altered dimension where there’s a bogeyman to hold accountable for everything ill that happens. Please tell your therapist that slapping sense into you isn’t working at the current rate. I recommend quadrupling the amount of slapping.
I saw the bit where you said if you knew what they did about some things you might agree with them, but that you disagreed with the majority of the group’s actions:
You forgot:
No Child Left Behind.
Prescription Drug Bill which benefits large drug companies and makes it difficult to obtain drugs from Canada.
Mission Accomplished! That flight suit…
How about Karl Rove?
Have to call “bullshit” on this one. You make it sounds as if environmentally concerned people are the primary group who are upset about gas prices. Are you suggesting that people who are NOT environmentalists DON’T bitch about the price of gasoline and natural gas? Those idiots who went out and bought Hummers and Expeditions and Escalades and all those other ridiculous gas sucking monsters sit there and smile at the pump?
Actually, I see one – and only one – advantage to soaring gas prices, which is that people only conserve energy and invest in energy efficient technology and alternative fuel technology when shortages or high prices require it.
The answer to oil shortages is to find a way to avoid using oil. Period. Otherwise, we just swing back and forth between times of crisis and times of complacency. More drilling and more refining doesn’t solve oil shortages any more than building more houses relieves overpopulation. It just masks the problem temporarily.
Perhaps you should be reading stuff for grownups instead of whatever you pulled that out of. “That flight suit” is what’s commonly known as protective clothing for all personnel in that particular aircraft. It doesn’t matter that he wasn’t flying the thing, it just mattered that he was in it & thus the flight suit.
The shot of Bush in the flight suit behind the Mission Accomplished sign was designed for a campaign commercial. Remember Bush’s waffling on why the sign was placed there?
Then talk about the sign, the comment itself, but give the childish and asinine and absolutely ignorant griping about the flight suit a rest.
p.s. And once you do, then you’ll get your tush handed to you. ISTR there being more than a couple of military folks–the folks he was visiting–quite pleased to see him there, bolstering their morale–something one would think a CinC would be expected to do from time to time.
The whole flight onto the carrier was a farce. The ship and its men were kept at sea an extra day just so Bush could land on it. He could easily have landed by helicopter but chose the more dramatic entry. And the cameras were pointed to the open sea on one side of the ship, not the nearby shore on the other.
If I had to pick one boneheaded thing, and believe me it’s tough, I’d go for preventing Medicare from negotiating a price with drug companies. A transparent giveaway to the pharmaceutical lobby.
You mean he didn’t have a transparent giveaway to the oil companies as well?
I’m sure Cindy Shaheen would be happy to visit with him…
Finn,
The next time you pull up a .pdf file, kindly put a little warning in first. Thanks.
I generally do, and to my knowledge there’s no rule stating that I have to. Besides, this one loaded real quick. Ah well.
P.S. Why is it that the word ‘kindly’ almost always sounds condescending? Go figure.
There’s no rule. But it is polite. Pdf’s tend to mess with my mozilla so I don’t like them.
And I thought kindly sounded better than “hey asshole,” which was not my intent.
