You can fool part of the people part of of the time but you can't fool all of the all of the time. Oh Yeah, both parties are doing what they are best at just fooling us!!!! Of the people and by the people, but not for the people. We need business for economic resons, but we don't need them runing our government through various ways.
The time has come for a Third Party, one that has the benifit of all Americans in its platform. Why is it that neither party is willing to support the other party when they have an idea that will be accepted by the people willingly ? The answer is very simple; If one party supports an idea of its opponent it will " look bad " for them, you know, the other guys have a good idea and we didn't come up with it and now we look stupid. \It is time to put aside " partys " and get back to doing for the people regardless of which party you belong to. At one time I was infavor of doing away with all political parties and resorting to a unicameral government. I since have realized that that would be a mistake and that a variety of ideas is best, but not the jealous competition of the present bunch of currupt politicos that live on the tax payers of this country'. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class is busting thier collective asses to keep up.
Never trust a limosine-liberal with vertical eyebrows....bye..bye Kerry!
As a Christian it sickens me that so many "well meaning" brothers and sisters trash gay and lesbian Christians. This is hate at it's worse. What's even more disgracefull is the cruel and vicious lies made in the name of God to denounce homosexuality. Jesus NEVER said ANYTHING against the homosexual condition. All references to the "abomination" in the old testament had to do with "sins" of dietary code violations or male to male rape. Also, I may find abortion offensive but killing innocent people in a war based on a lie is more evil. To support a man like Bush who is unwilling to admit his mistakes makes one equally guilty. I pray for peace and understanding in this ignorant and intolerant society in America. Please pray with me for peace especially if you disagree with me.
Why do we feel it necessary to judge a man because of the branch of service he chose to serve?? What kind of ridiculous hierarchy is that?? Why can't we judge men and women by their word?? I agree with the original post--this country and our elected officials should no longer be placed on office based on what party they represent. This is contributing to the demise of our own country. We are strong, but we are FAR from united. Each man should be allowed his view and stand beside his/her brother with armed outstretched even if they are democrat or republican. 9/11 was a horrible tragedy, did we not see the most beautiful thing come from it...how it united the people of these states we live in??!! People--listen....our children and their grandchildren will have nothing if we don't unite them now. This country is breeding hate and intolerance. To begin---the liberals need to look up the word tolerance. It means that we tolerate all people, even those whose views are not like ours. Even if their views are discriminatory or hateful. They have a right to them. Remember -a man's right to make a fist should only end where another man's face begins. !! God bless us all
Happy days are here again The sky above is clear again So let's sing a song of cheer again Happy days are here again
I share your disappointment with the fact that Mr. Bush chose the Guard instead of making himself available to serve in Vietnam. But, I sure as hell don't think the solution is sending John Kerry to the White House. First, Kerry abandoned his fellow veterans when he left after 4 months and 3 extremely questionable Purple Hearts earned while not losing 1 minute of duty. It is true that Mr. Bush did not serve in Vietnam. It is equally true that he didn't go before Congress and trash his fellow servicemen. More importantly however, is his sorry record as a senator. We need to leave Vietnam and ask ourselves what he would bring to the Presidency. If his record as a senator is any indication, there would be hell to pay.
This is my first post on this site and after reading the many letters previously posted I find the only pro-Kerry letters were wtitten by females. Kudos to Sherry, Kathie and Brenda. This 73 year old Army Veteran who served my country at the time of the Korean War agree with their position. It boggles my mind as to how anyone, especially veternas can trust and support George W. Bush to be our Commander in Chief...When Secretary of State Colin Powell wrote in his autobiography, "I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well placed managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units. Of the tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrinination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal"...At the time of the Vietnam War, it was common knowledge that the National Guard was one way of evading going to the war front in Vietnam. With the influence of "powers to be" Bush was able to bypass the long list of applications, to avoid being drafted. What we have here is a cheerleader, not a leader,(Bush was a cheerleader in college). It takes a leader to be Commander in Chief and John Kerry is that man. It's too bad more men on this site don't see it that way ...Richard W. Lewis, Sr.
I believe we stand at the crossraods as a nation - which should be One Nation UNDIVISIBLE. We should stand up for AMERICA and not try to tear it down. Do we PRAY FOR WISDOM and for what our LORD would have us do?? I will cast my vote for the man who is BOLD enough to proclaim his christianity/Love for the Lord, to all of the world and admit he need our prayers. He is not perfect, but there is NO perfect person on Earth - they wouldn't be here if they were, but at least he is not standing in front of us and lying about his past and making claims too far out to even think he could follow. George Bush inherited problems that were beyond his control when he took office - NOW he is supposed to take care of all of them?? We must elect Bush and continue to hold him in Prayer as it is a momentous task he has inherited. God's JUDGEMENT will fall on a wicked nation,this is no playful matter, we should WISELY and PRAYERFULLY VOTE for the only proclaiming Christian.
Kathie and Sherri, I'm sorry, but I have to bail on you two. I don't know how two, what I assume to be normally intelligent persons, can be so blinded by hate that they will believe anything they hear or read as long as it reinforces their irrational hate of our President. As I said , that's why we have elections, so go with Kerry and good luck to you both.
Hello again Kathie is right when she said that he tried to kill my daddy. You who posted last better check your information. I want to thank you whoever you are for clearing up the details of impeachment. True they where never convicted. I myself truly wholeheartedly believe the only reason that Bush went to war was because he wanted to get a foothold over there in the middleeast for the purpose of the oil. Remember the pipeline that went in over in Afganastan? Why did'nt he capture Binladin when he had the chance. Why because his family is tight with the Saudies and there money, and the Saudies are making plenty of money for the Bush family. Please people I pray you people who say you are religious wake up and open your eyes to the truth. Don't mean to offend anyone but I feel this to strong not to speak my mind. Thank you for letting me speak my mind. Sherri
Kathie, where in the world do you get you information? You have never, and I repeat never, heard George Bush say he went to war because Saddam "tried to kill my daddy". You may have heard Kerry people say he said it, but that doesn't make it so. As to your assertion that we are no longer a proud and great nation, that is just plain bunk. I don't need confirmation from fair-weather allies like France and Germany to know that we are still the most generous and peace loving nation on earth. Yes, we are at war, but it is for the noblest of causes - freeing a country from oppression. Has it been conducted perfectly, absolutely not. That doesn't make it wrong. Having said all that, you know what, if what is going on doesn't make you happy, you have the right to vote for change. This may come as a stunning shock to you, but if your side loses, maybe your side is wrong. Think about it.
I am new here, and have read through a few posts,and comments. I would like to add a comment of my own, if permitted. I have been following this election constantly because I have a very deep fear from what has happened to our country. It has been our country, but little by little, we are losing the "our part of it." It doesn't matter if you are rebublician or a democrate, what really matters are the facts. We had an election that everone knows in their hearts, wasn't right. We had a person put in power who had come from playing though most of his life, until he became governor of Texas. We went into a war because he wanted to at any cost. Does anyone remember him stating "He tried to kill my daddy?" I do, and Im sorry, but that's not good enough to do what he has done. We were a proud nation before Bush,and we were a respected nation, before Bush. We have lost all of that because of a little man who wants to be a dictator. Think I'm wrong? Why is it that our media reports what they are told to? Why is it suddenly alright to make a film by cutting the statements up from people to conform to your needs? I truthly feel we are in greater danger now than we have ever been. Thank you for giving me your time. Kathie
Our President has been criticized for his personal relationship with God. I personally find that a very important reason to respect him and the fact that he relies on prayer and guidance. This great country was founded on freedom OF religion, not freedom From religion. I sincerely believe George W. Bush is a strong leader who inherited an awsome burden,not to mention the aftermath of our country being attacked. The attack was not the first on American soil but it was the beginning of counter attacks to stop the enemy from killing on our soil. I think he gave the UN and others ample opportunity to join us in the fight against terrorism. He however did not wait for their stamp of approval for our right to fight back wherever the terrorist may be rather than waiting for them to blow up a few thousand more of our citizens. I pray the people of this country will wake up and realize we need strong leadership, a man who sticks to his word regardless of wheather or not it is politically correct. I pray for George W. Bush and for this great Nation, Under God......
OK, I'm a pretty busy guy, so I'm only going to explain this once. President Johnson and President Clinton are the only two presidents to have been impeached. Impeachment proceedings were started against President Nixon, but he resigned before the house could vote knowing that he would be impeached. It is true that neither Johnson or Clinton were convicted. Impeachment and conviction are two completely different procedures in our government. The House impeaches and the Senate convicts. Your welcome.
Your welcome whoever you are. Clinton is a democrat and he was never impeached. The republicans tried sooooo hard to do that but where not successful, lol.
Let's see now "funny how the only president impeached was a Republican", and all these years I thought Clinton was a Democrat. I must pay closer attention to these little details in the future. Thanks for clearing this up for me Sherri.
I wanted to say I am a Christain and can't believe some of the comments on here. I will be voting for Kerry because I believe he is a man of honesty. Look at his record, he was one of the men that investigated the Oliver North ordeal. He clearly states his mind and if there is something wrong with that then I am not living in America. He stands for the people to have the right to choose, not be told what they should do. Even Jesus does not tell us we have to serve him, (we make that choice). I do not agree with abortion or gay and lesbian marriage but this is a free country. When it comes my time I am the one that will answer to God and nobody else. I have to agree with Brenda from Florida, if you want to see hard times elect a Republican. Funny how the only President impeached was a Republican! Sherri from Ohio
Brenda, Where are you living? Ethiopia? I'm inclined to believe you live in the US. Otherwise, you would be better informed. If you lived in an Arab country you would have al jazzera as your main news source of info. That makes it simple for the viewer (I take al jazzerra's opinion because everyone else does). I'm not attacking you Brenda. I suggest you watch more than one news channel and make YOUR choices your own. Don't buy all the crap on one channel.
See my comments under the WAKE UP heading. You'll know they are my comments if you see WAKE UP AMERICA. I'm with you and I'm 20 years younger than you. What does that say??
The Communist Party of the United States of America, cpusa. is publicly supporting the election of John Kerry. Check it out WWW.cpusa.org Mrs. Heinz Kerry is French,and has also donated over 2 million dollars to the Communist party herself. Check it out see how many companies Mrs.Heinz Kerry has in some 30 countries, I believe it it 58 companies. If John Kerry is so concerned about jobs in America, I wonder how many American's Mrs. Heinz Kerry employs in these foreign countries. Blame the loss of jobs on Clinton with Enron and corperate America cheating and lying learning it from Clinton. How many job's were permantly lost there?
I find it difficult to read the posts by folks who prefer to SHOUT (IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS) rather then state their opinion in a reasonable tone. Having said that, I understand the frustration some of you anti-Bush people may be feeling regarding the war in Iraq vs. domestic issues that seem to be going unattended. To you I can only say that President Bush is doing what is necessary to protect this great nation of ours from the very real terrorist threat of the likes of September 11, 2001. What many don't get is that terrorists, like Nazis did Europe in WWII, are threatening us in a very personal way. You, me, Aunt Edna, widowed Mrs. Cooper down the street, the guy at the meat counter, absolutely every United States citizen reagardless of race or religion is hated by every terrorist network and they all want us dead. Sounds farfetched? If you didn't get their message on 9/11, what else will it take? After 9/11, we agreed that terorism needs to be stopped wherever it exists, and it existed in Iraq and still does. If we allow this threat to continue, there won't be a need for any domestic programs.
I am a retired member of the military. I never would have thought that I would live to see a long haired hippie war protester running for President of the USA. Thank God for Bush and God Bless America
I'm sorry, would Brenda from Florida be kind enough to tell the rest of us exactly which country she is talking about. Living in misery, you've got to be kidding. We are the richest, most productive country on the planet and getting better every day. Homeless, are you homeless Brenda? There are hundreds of programs designed to help any homeless person who asks for it. Health care, in one form or another, is available to EVERY person currently residing in America. Not just citizens, ANYONE who lives here. Since the tax cut was based on a percentage, it makes sense that someone who pays more would get more back. Brenda, let's say your right about what a horrible and degrading experience it is to live in such a rotten and dispicable country as your America, are you going to tell us that these deplorable conditions suddenly appeared in the less than four years Mr. Bush has been president? Please!! Do not forget the planners of 9-11 began planning many years before Mr Bush was elected. Do we have problems, of course we do, but it would be national suicide to expect someone like kerry to fix them. PS: As a veteran, I take great offense at being refered to as one of our "INNOCENT CHILDREN". Brenda, I was a MAN doing a MANS job.
AUGUST 18, i CANNOT BELEIVE SO AMNY PEOPLE STILL BACK BUSH FOR PRESIDENT CAN'T THEY SEE THE MISERY OUR COUNTRY IS IN, WE HAVE MORE UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE, MORE HOMELESS PEOPLE, NO HEALTH CARE, TAXES THAT JUST KEEP GOING UP EVEN THOUGH WE DID GET THE SAMLL ONE FROM HIM JUST THINK WHAT THE RICH DUDE'S GOT AS A TAX BREAK UNDER HIM, WE ARE HATRED IN EVERY COUNTRY, OUR INNOCENT CHILDREN ARE BEING BROUGHT HOME IN BODY BAG'S THAT HE REFUSES TO LET THE T.V. NETWORK'S SHOW HOW ANY ONE CAN VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO WILL SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO WAR YET COPIED OUT HIMSELF IS BEYOND ME. I BELEIVE AMERICA WAS BETTER OFF UNDER MR. CLINTON, MY DAD USED TO SAY IF YOU WANT HARD TIMES JUST ELECT A REPUBLICAN, HOW TRUE HOW TRUE. GO KERRY. BRENDA FROM FLORIDA
RIGHT ON! I would like to know why so many people back a President who was an alcoholic and cocaine user for 20 years. If the cocaine didn't fry his brain, 20 years of drinking would. He can't even speak the king's English for god's sake! And why do so many support an unprovoked war and killing thousands of innocent people - against the WRONG ENEMY? Although no one liked Sadam Hussain, what threat was he to America?
i vote that man marriage man be stopand also that women stop marriage same sex. also i vote about aboition it need to stop . i think that if all mothers out there think that killing babies is right well let me tell you it is not right for andy body to kill .we all no what our heaven father have told us is to keep his words and to love one another as he love us .so do the right thing and stop it i have had all iam going to take .so i please the blood of jesus over all of you
This is very interesting. But how do we get our politions to read it, and follow what it says? N.T. Texas

For you woefully misguided persons who have spoken in support of kerry, let me remind you of one very important irrefutable fact. When kerry returned (early) from Vietnam and turned against the men he left behind, his outrageous charges of wholesale rape, murder and numerous other atrocities that he categorically stated were committed by our servicemen gave direct aid and comfort to the enemy. There is no question that the his actions resulted in the loss of many American lives (we will never know how many) kerry's service in Vietnam has been shown to be highly questionable, but even if everything he tells us(ad-nauseam)about his heroism is true, any deeds he may or may not have accomplished are negated by his post-Vietnam actions. Is this really the the man you would have as the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States of America.
I find it hard to believe the posted comments from you so called God fearing Christians. Stop listening and watching Fox TV, Rush Limbaugh and other so called false prophets like Mr Bush. Take some time and start reading the bible and then see how the GOP propaganda has you poor souls brainwashed.
I know who I will vote for and it is NOT Kerry. I think that America is at a crossroads. We can continue down the path we are on now and defeat America's enemies OR we can become subserviant to the U.N. and let France and Germany decide who, what when, where and how we will done things. So, if you love America and what it stands [or should stand] for, your only choice is Bush.
I have heard from time to time that 25 countries have a higher standard of living than we do, but never heard them identified. And while i'm commenting, why do people try to get in ours but nobody seems to be trying to excape from here?
I always come to this web site because it is Christian in content. I am a Christian and I wonser how anyone of us could vote for a Presidential candidate that says right out they are for abortion, & homosexual & lesbian marriages or so called partnerships of same sex couples. What must God think of all the people who claim to be a Christian and vote this way. Do you rally think God won't ask you about this when you have to face Him on judgement day? Think of this, You can be fined big fines and maybe even go to jail if you step on sea turtle eggs or crocodile eggs, but go right ahead and kill as many babies as you please, what have we come to. This is why I think this is our last chance to make some changes in laws, & judges on federal courts, if not we won't know this country anymore in a few years. Also don't forget the terrorist's you must know who they want to see elected. Pray for our country. A fellow Christian
Comment about the government officials are about true but I truly do believe that our president George W. Bush is doing the very best that he can what with all the liberal media, liberal turned Socialist (which is the same as Communist if you will just check in your Websters Dictionery) and all their ridiculous accusations. Isn't it too bad that people seem to take whatever they hear for truth without checking out the facts.
lizzie in LA should learn to spell "Clinton" if she indeed believes all she says. Go back to school lizzie, and while you're there, take a class in American Government as well as an elementary spelling class.
I have believed this way for years!!! Good to know there are others who also quietly carry on the fight for true freedom as it was originally meant to be.
It looks like the majority of the people that read your Statement, missed the point.That it is about time that our elected Officials do things because they are right. Not only that but work together as a whole group. C. Howard of California
The President we have now, is one of Christian faith. He is in line with the foundations of this nation, both God and freedom. He makes a decision and follows it, which is more than what past presidents have done. He also supports and prays for our military, which is very comforting. Our military is the reason we have such freedoms in the first place, so shouldn't we have a President who supporst them? Kerry boasts about his Vietnam combat experience, but doesn't talk much about the protests he attended after the war. Or how he threw his medals back over the White House fence. It's pretty obvious how he really feels, and that half the crap he's putting out there is to get him elected and not what he really intends to do. Go Bush!!!!
It matters not who we vote for because the U S of A is in a downward spiral turning their back on GOD and his commandments.Example: the super bowl halftime show, Gay marriages, takeing "under God" out of the Pledge of Alligence.Next they will want to take "In God We Trust" off currency. Influential people with much money want to take the guns from the hands of the honest citizen. History shows citizens without guns is a defeated nation. Maybe Bush will be in for four more years, but what I fear most is who is waiting in the wings.America can't survive another Clinton. Belive me many ignorant Americans will support her for president and most likely she will win.I fear for the future of my children and grand children if Jesus doesn't come back soon to gather his flock. Where are all the people who filled churches immediatelly after the 9 11 bombing. The seem to have quickly forgotten the higher power. May God have mercy on us all.
WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHO WE VOTE FOR???? EVERY THING THAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA AND THE WORLD AND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS ALL BILL CLINTINS FAULT!!!! IT IS BILL CLINTINS FAULT THAT GEORGE BUSH IS A HUGE ZERO!! BILL CLINTIN I SAY!! ALL HIS FAULT!!!! lizzie in LA
Oh dear; How ever shall I vote? HUMMMMM could it be for a smirkie little guy that has lied all his life and is still lieing to the American dumbest folks??? Or for a true Hero? Guess this is a real hard one,,,,,, JO IN ALABAMA for Kerry
This speaks my words and thoughts exactly! I, too, have the same thoughts and quesions. Politics has changed this country. I'm afraid we will never see honesty again in our government. Faye
What are these "higher standards" of living you refer to? If you think a parliamentary government is a higher standard, then maybe you should move.
I have never agreed with political party lines. I think they discriminate people and they hide the reality of what someone believes in. IN MY OPINION, parties should be eliminated and those running for public office should state what they believe in and what they'd like to see happen. I disagree with the political ad bashing. That just tells me they have nothing intelligent to say about themselves, but plenty to use against others. Why would I want a person like that in office? Especially to run our country? Our president is only as strong as our Congress is, so I believe that voting for my congresspeople is more important than voting for our president, even though he has veto power. But anyone who is elected president better be a person of good will, honesty, and integrity who will not abuse this power. I think it's honorable when a public official states his or her position on important issues, but it's also very important that he or she does not bring personal opinions into his or her job. As a public official, you work for the public, not yourself. Voting this year will be difficult for me. I have been undecided about who to vote for ever since campaigns began in 2003. I may not exercise my right this year depending on who steps forward as the good, honest and decent person. I just don't see that happening any time soon!

As for you, independent voter, you may be nearing 50, but you are still wet behind the ears when it comes to our nation. We should be very proud right now to finally have a president who is not afraid to say what he believes and believe what he says, to profess God as his Lord, to pray for this country AND YOU, and to say he'll do something and stick with it! As for voting, I vote according to the persons' past record...do they stand for pro-life, one-man-one-woman marriage, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (our standard of living), the laws being made through Senate ruling or by judges making their own laws as they will, etc. These are the standards that I vote for, and if politicians are against these, I know they have their own adgenda and not the adgenda of the nation, and they don't get my vote. And, I agree with the other comments before mine...where are these other better 25 countries and why don't you go live there? If you, by some chance, are refering to such countries as Canada, England, Norway, Sweden, etc., then perhaps you should take a closer look at their loose lifestyles and the morals of those nations. AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU HAVEN'T POSTED AN ANSWER TO OUR QUESTIONS...OR YOUR NAME??? I am THANKFUL TO BE AN AMERICAN! Donna McQueen in Montana
4/4/4 I VOTE FOR THE MAN I WILL THINK WILL DO THE BEST JOB AND THE MAN HE STANDS FOR THE GOLDLY MAN WHOS IS TRYING TO GEY OUR COUNTRY BACK TO A GOD FEARING NATION WHERE IT WAS MET TO BE AND BUILT ON I WILL BE VOTING FOR OUR PRESIDENT WHO HAS DONE A GOOD JOB WITH WHAT HE HAD TO WORK WITH WHEN HE GOT IN OFFICE I DON`T ALWAYS VOTE FOR ONE PARTY I VOTE FOR THE MAN AND WHAT HE STANDS FOR LINDA NEWMAN TURBOTVILLE PA

BUSH IS THE BEST THEY NEED TO STOP BLAMING HIM FOR HIS DADS MISTAKES IM ONLY 22 AND HAVE NEVER VOTED BUT IM GONNA LEND THE PRESIDENT A HAND AND VOTE FOR HIM I MEAN CAREY HAS NO CLUE LOL LOL LOL MY E MAIL IS WHIZAL 13204@AOL.COM PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Go to one of the other 25 countries or Florida and please dont return. Now that were in Vietnam Part 2 can you guess who I'm voting for? Thanks, BT1 USN
I would like to knew what the 25 countries are that have a higher living standard than ours.
I feel at least we have the freedom to vote and what upsets me the most is the way someone puts the other person down by negative comments. Where is the honor and the going on your record. I will say one thing, George Bush made a decision and he went with it as War Presidents befor him, be it right or wrong, he wasn't wishy washy. I will vote for him again. I feel he is an honest man and trying to do the best for our country. At least we do have a health plan, although it could be better and unfortunately it is a vicious circle with free enterprise for companies and doctors etc. but we do have freedom.
This is ridiculour. There is lno country on this planet that enjoys a higher standard of living, all benefits and freedoms included, that the USA. I always want to tell people who say this that I will gladly buy them a one-way ticket to that "other" place if they will agree to never return. Where would you and I be if our ancestors had not left one of those "other" countries and come to this one? Where, in fact, would Blacks be (those who proudly call themselves "AFRICAN Americans" instead of just Americans, or at least American's of African descent, had there not been slavery? There are still tribes in Africa where people run around in loin cloths and they haven't invented the wheel yet. All of you who do this kind of carping would be better served to remain silent or, as suggested earlier, move to that wonderful "other" country. Sincerely, John Spaulding
Isn't that the truth. Maybe we should just scrap the whole system, and start over. Also, put all the politicians on Social Security with everyone else. And get rid of all there special benefits, that we have to pay for. They certainly aren't any better than the average citizen, all though they may think so. Maybe its time to dump the politicians into the harbor with the tea! This country belongs to us, not them! Bob Cassidy
WHAT 25 countries have a higher standard of living than we do? What is your source for that statement?
I can't imagine any red blooded American, voting along party lines. They would only be voting the way that party thinks, not the way you think. I always vote for the man I think would do the best job for all concerned. Anyone who stands and tells me that thier party believes another way from me won't get my vote.I don't care to admit that I'm very conservative in my way of thinking, but I'm 66 and have heard a lot of lies from both parties. I will continue to vote for the man not the party. A greatful AMERICAN, FOR ALL OUR FREEDOMS!!!!!!!

I say Aman and Aman to the majority of the comments I read. I to stand behind our PRESIDENT, and if GOD lets me live until November, I will vote for re-election of president GEORGE W. BUSH. If you've noticed the ones who don't exercise their right to vote, are the ones that yell's first and critizes the most. It is because of people like our President that we are afforded that GREAT PRIVELEDGE! GOD, GODLY PEOPLE and PRAYER are what is going to make a difference, if it's not already to late. I Quote, "A NATION DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT NOT STAND". This nation is truly divided and the people have no, FEAR OF GOD!!! GOD and FREEDOM is what our nation was built on. We Have drifted so far from the BIBLE, GOD"S HOLY WORD and OUR SPIRITUAL ROOTS. Anything one needs to know, can be found in The BIBLE, THE MOST PRACTICAL BOOK EVER WRITTEN!!!! If we as a nation don't turn back to GOD, WE are going to fall from within. WE CAN"T IGNORE GOD AND EXPECT HIM TO BLESS US. "PEOPLE WAKE UP", I PRAY FOR OUR NATION, IT'S LEADERS, OUR MILITARY MEN & WOMEN, AND THEIR FAMILIES. Because of their selflessness and their sacrifices we are still "FREE". STAND UP FOR AMERICA and GOD, or YOU'LL FALL FOR ANYTHING....Thank you! Wilma Alderson, W.V.
I guess it's all in how you define standard of living. I don't think that getting taxed 60% of your income is worth the so called higher standard. Free health care is not a higher standard of living. Not having true freedom of the press is not a higher standard of living. Not being able to use deadly force to protect ones person is not a higher standard of living. I could go on and on but it wouldn't change your mind. Just remember that you have to give up some government freebees to be truly FREE!
