Abortion: decision-making is properly positioned at the level of the individual.</i><br /><br />From an individual values standpoint, I agree (not speaking to the right or wrong of it but merely the decision making process); however, when you live in a society where moral values shift over time and half the people consider abortion morally wrong, you are faced with legal, religious, and political considerations that make the issue a societal one despite your personal view. When resources have to be allocated all decisions become political and numerous factors enter the decision making process. <br /><br /><br /><i>2. USA is not* a theocracy, Christian or otherwise, nor should it be.</i><br /><br />As far as I know, none here have suggested it should be. From what I have seen it was introduced here as the musings of somebody over at BC.<br /><br /><i>3. Religion has no place in foreign policy. Creating a "Christian block" is strategically ill-advised and unconstitutional.</i><br /><br />Once more an issue raised by you. While it may have had some credence in days past (what country hasn't lived through the period of some king or general rallying the public or the troops with the cry "God is on our side"), however, I find it strange that you would accept the premise these days in the USA.<br /><br /><i>4. The Republican Party seems to require that "true" conservatives belong to the Christian faith which is equally ill-advised and (possibly) unconstitutional.</i><br /><br />IMO, a simplistic take on the existing situation. You take the views of evangelicals and fundamentalist Christians who form a portion of the GOP base and equate that to the GOP as a whole.<br /><br />You confuse correlation with causation and focus only on the GOP. How many presidents have we had, GOP or DEM or whatever? How many of them weren't Christians? No more than a handful I would imagine. Unconstitutional? At 2% of the polulation, given the life of the country, I guess you could say it's a Jew's turn right about now. I'd have to look up the latest numbers on the Rosecrucians. Dem, GOP, what they call themselves is meaningless except when compared to what they do.<br /><br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-69924351288573374242012-03-17T17:47:48.913-04:002012-03-17T17:47:48.913-04:00To the United States Government:

I think they've made that perfectly clear. They want the foreign occupiers out of their country. We should oblige them, considering that we have done what we actually set out to do. We have killed the terrorist responsible for 9-11. The BS lines about why we must, stay, stay, stay is nothing more than a ploy to gain a few more years of lining a few choice pockets.<br /><br />We left Iraq and anyone keeping up with the news can see it's going back to the way it was before we were ever there. Maybe it's just me but that sure makes the lives, limbs, and billions of dollars lost there seem like a big FAT WASTE. As both an American and a soldier's wife, that frankly P*SSES me the H3LL OFF!<br /><br />Now our Government completely IGNORES what the American people are SCREAMING at them, refuses to bring our troops home sooner rather than later and I can't help but wonder for what? In 5 or 10 years, when we FINALLY truly end this war and this country goes RIGHT BACK to the way it was before we ever set foot there, how much American blood and taxpayer dollars will have been left in the sand for NOTHING?<br /><br />To my fellow commenters: <br />Like many of you, I have been following the war articles like a maze and reading the comments of both my fellow American's as well as those from people around the world. And for once a pretty obvious agreement has been reached. Our Government is so clearly in the WRONG that its own people are outraged and furious. A great majority seem to be in agreement that our "leading" politicians have lost their d$mn minds. So I encourage anyone that would typically spend 10 minutes reading and commenting here to instead spend that 10 minutes emailing the White House with their views to comments@whitehouseDOTgov <br /><br />It would seem ladies and gentleman that our Government can't hear us. Perhaps it's time for a louder shout. In my opinion our troops should be on our soil watching OUR backs. And our tax dollars should be spent fixing OUR broken economy. That's just my views, whether you agree or disagree shouldn't be posted here. No matter which side you fall on, spend this time telling the White House your thoughts instead of arguing with me or others here.<br /><br />-PEACE...not in our lifetimeArmy Bratnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-85846434770010997832012-03-17T17:10:21.548-04:002012-03-17T17:10:21.548-04:00Paddy was waiting at the bus stop with his mate wh...Paddy was waiting at the bus stop with his mate when a lorry went by loaded up with rolls of turf. <br />Paddy said, 'I gonna do that when I win lottery'. <br />'What's dat', says his mate. <br />'Send me lawn away to be cut', says Paddy.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-90485953764313625772012-03-17T16:44:22.084-04:002012-03-17T16:44:22.084-04:00.
