MIke D asked:


When is it ok to lie to a patiant regarding their health status. What are the laws? Can the parents of a 16y/o HIV positive girl refuse to allow healthcare professionals to tell her of her condition? The first provision of the American Nurses Association (ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses includes the following in its interpretation: Patients have the moral right to be given accurate, complete, and understandable information in a manner that facilitates an informed judgment; understandable information in a manner that facilitates an informed judgment; to accept, refuse, or terminate treatment without deceit (p. 151).

Who is Obama tied in with?

This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking ‘where did the money come from for Obama’. I have four daughters who went to college, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.

I started looking into Obama’s life.

Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental; he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. ‘Barry’ (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both fromPakistan. During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a ’round the world’ trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate’s family, then off to Africa to visit his fathr’s family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Neither I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia? It’s not cheap to say the least! Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000 a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York.

By ‘chance’ he met Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named ‘Entrepreneur of the Decade’ by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association’. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? After law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented ‘Rezar’ which is Rezko’s firm. Rezko was one of Obama’s first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with ’seed money’ for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko’s wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire, loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama’s new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.

Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett was Michele Obama’s boss. She is now Obama’s chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?

On May 10, 2008, “The Times” reported, Robert Malley, advisor to Obama, was ’sacked’ after the press found out he was having regular contacts with ‘Hamas’, which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama’s visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will ‘Take care of things’.

Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those ’small’ Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?

All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times -Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.

Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven’t all of our ‘intelligent’ members of the press been reporting this?

A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - ‘Beware of the enemy from within’!!!
Mikey darling that is only a half of what I know! I will be posting more when I have time ,you little fool you

what gives Bush the right to make laws to monitor global anti-Semitism and rate countries annually on their?

Jesus Christ Lizard asked:


treatment of Jews?? who the heck does he think he is anyway?
“Defending freedom also means disrupting the evil of anti-Semitism,” Bush told thousands of cheering supporters packed into a sports arena usually used by the Florida Panthers professional ice hockey team.
“Today, I signed the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004. This law permits the government to keep a record of anti-Semitic acts throughout the world, and also a record of responses to those acts,” he said.

now what the heck is the definition of antisemitism exactly since this word is being thrown at any one who publicly dsagree with the brutal and monstrous policies of Israel? what does the word really mean?
where is the global racism law ? are Jews better than Blacks that they get special treatment and special laws?? this is insanity at best.
yes barrel you’re right!

jerks like me who believe in equality should be monitored and imprisoned for our radical ideas.

you’re absolutely right. asshat

He is abusive, but now I find myself contributing to the violence?

Nicky G asked:


We have been together 7 years. He started becoming abusive 4 years into our relationship, after his parents split. I have no history of abuse in my family. He has years of it. I used to cower away when it first started, never defending myself and always afraid to upset him. Now, I find that I am quick as ever to insult and even quicker to throw a punch– he doesn’t even have to start getting physical.. negativity on his part sparks something inside of me that puts my guard up. I know we need professional help. I can’t bring myself to pick up the phone and ask for it though… Also, I have heard that talking about abuse will get you in trouble with the law if they feel like someone is in danger. In truth, it is mutual. We are both in danger of each other.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Scooter Libby Disbarred! What do you all think of this?

Monday, May 12th, 2008
Troy B asked:


WASHINGTON — Former top White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby was banned Thursday from practicing law in the nation’s capital following his perjury conviction in the case of a CIA operatives leaked identity. The disbarment order of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals had been expected.

“When a member of the bar is convicted of an offense involving moral turpitude, disbarment is mandatory,” the appeals court ruled.

Last May, a court panel that oversees lawyer ethics recommended that Libby be stripped of his law license in Washington. The Board on Professional Responsibility then found that Libby’s conviction for lying to the FBI about the case of former CIA operative Valerie Plame amounted to “crimes that involve moral turpitude.”

“This action is required by the rules following a conviction regardless of the merits of the case, and for that reason Mr. Libby expected and did not oppose the court’s order,” said Libby attorney William Jeffress.

Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President **** Cheney, was first licensed to work as a lawyer in Washington in 1978. His membership with the D.C. bar also was suspended for failing to pay his dues, records show.

Thursday’s appeals court ruling also noted that “neither bar counsel nor respondent has taken exception to the board’s report and recommendation.”

Libby was the only person to face criminal charges in the case of the 2003 leak of Plame’s identity. Plame has since left the CIA and contends the White House was trying to discredit her husband, a critic of President Bush’s Iraq policy.

Last July, Bush commuted Libby’s 2 1/2-year sentence, sparing him from serving any prison time after being convicted of perjury and obstructing justice. Libby dropped appeals to have his convictions overturned. He has paid a $250,000 fine and remains on two years probation.
