>>Simply put...What is wrong with a little more personal responsibility and a little less government.
Gameface, nothing IMO -- and this is precisely the reason (coupled with abortion) that I registered as a Republican. However, the question comes in -- when does a Republican president start to take a "little more personal responsibility" that the GOP extremists so aggressively push upon America?? Bill Clinton embarrassed America and his family, but you know what -- nobody died from a blow job. George Bush has broken nearly every promise he made, his morals are a pathic attempt at a facade, and he rushed America into a war with Iraq based on fabricated evidence while Osama bin Laden is out making home videos?
At what point does GWB need to say, "sorry, I fuked up and tens of thousands of people died"?
This GOP middle/southern America has double standards when it comes to responsibility. The Bible speaks of helping the poor -- yet, you do less than the Dems to help the poor. Religion and government were clearly seperate, non-intersectable entities based on the 1st Ammendment -
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Yet, the GOP radicals are stating that winning 51% of the vote from 54% of the population is a mandate to change this?? What is wrong with you people? You are destroying the fundamental principals of America in the name of "patriotism"?? Has a bigger lie ever been told?
>>We are at war with radical islam, it doesn't matter if we fight them or not, they will continue their fight against us. We have to destroy them, I don't like the cost, I don't like US soldiers killed, I don't like war.
You do not like war?? You've been boasting about "first Iraq, then France" for months now. Either you have a demented sense of humor, you flip-flop or your trying to dove yourself after the damage has been done. Too late GF -- I see you for the hawk that you are. America needs middle ground based on comprising, not me telling you I support a war that I do not or you telling me that you do not want a war that you push for. I hope that I'm wrong for all of our sakes, but I see little common ground when it comes to these issues.
Sure, we can be civil, but the truth is that red and blue America is nothing new -- we havent' changed all that much since the Civil war.
>>We must understand radical islam cannot be pacified they must be destroyed.
Game, you may very well be right, but isnt' the problem that radical Islam and Iraq are not one-in-the-same? You seem to support the president because he's the president ... but why is a president not help accountable in your view? There is a distinction between patriotism and blind faith.
>>I don't agree with everything Bush has done, I do agree with less taxes and the defense of our nation. The gov takes plenty of our money as it is.
I agree, but only support tax cuts AFTER the budget is balanced. We do not have a tax break -- we have an advance on our SS.
>>I hate what the ACLU has done to our country, the ACLU fought to get enemy combatants released from from Gitmo and they have now killed Americans abroad on several occasion. When I see people siding with our enemies I don't appreciate it one bit.
Believe it or not, I can see your point, but I disagree. I think they go overboard, but protecting our freedoms and liberties is not something that shoud be subjective. Either we all have freedoms or we do not.
Yes, it is horrible when evil people slip though and do evil stuff, but it is equally evil when innocent people are deprived of basic rights.
