Read the book of Acts...something about the Christians held everything in common...hmm...sounds sorta socialistic doesn't it????
I'm tired of you...you flew an Apache...good for you. My father was Japanese occupation force, served in Korea and in VietNam. I saw the body bags at Dover AFB as a kid when my dad was stationed there. I remember the body counts. Why were we there? It was a civil war. Our "great leaders" then had no exit strategy, just like Dubya in Iraq. My son is suffering the aftereffects of Dubya's greed. I praise God he's at least in one piece with all his limbs where they should be. However, it's pretty sad that a 26 year old kid has been rated as disabled due to your precious republican president's greed and utter stupidity.
And regarding "pro-life"...it's bad to kill a fetus but it's ok to kill women and children as long as they aren't 'murikans??? Huh?
You want small government? Keep them out of who can marry, out of reproductive choices.
As you can see from my signature, we have 12 children. 12. Why? Because every last one of them were wanted and we could support them. We stopped having children when it became obvious that my husband was too ill to continue his career. However, that was our CHOICE. That makes me "Pro-choice". We chose a big family. Other folks should have the same choice to determine their family size. That's the definition of "pro-choice". I support everyone having the same choice to determine when and if they are going to have children. Its that simple.
Why do you "conservatives" have such a hang up with what goes on in people's bedrooms, with things that should be personal decisions? If its wrong, let God take care of it, not you, not the government.
Over 1 TRILLION dollars has been spent on the bullhockey "wars". Do you know that the money tossed away on that could have ended poverty all over the world, renewed the crumbling infrastructure here in the US and pretty much guaranteed everyone in the USA a 50K/yr income? Oh, but that's a redistribution of wealth and that's socialism and that's just wrong.
Your priorities are jacked all up.
Did I ever claim to be a conservative? It seems you might be making an assumption. My ideologies know not the bounds of the boxes you like to place them in for your convenience.
I don't think military experience has any relevance as to our discussion, but you seem determined that it does.
If you're going to pull rank, I would say that a guy with 12 years of military experience outranks a gal who was married to a military man.
Seeing body bags makes you an expert?
You do realize that people get killed in wars, don't you? In the Bible you will find stories of wars. You want to talk about Vietnam?
Doesn't the Bible say to love your neighbor? How much do you love your neighbor if you do nothing while he is slain? I'm not suggesting that we can save everyone or that we should police the world.
However, it was Kennedy who took us into Vietnam, LBJ who ramped it up, and Nixon who brought us out.
To Kennedy's credit, we were fighting the spread of communism there. Remember the Bay of Pigs? Are you suggesting we must always wait until our country is invaded before we can justifiably attack? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
If you're going to wait to be invaded before taking action, you might as well not have a military. Of course, now our country has been invaded by communists on the inside. The White House is full of them, to include the Commander in Chief.
I heard Obama say with his own mouth that the U.S. Constitution is a flawed document. Yet HE swore to uphold it. How does that work?
Nothing about Acts sounds socialistic. This is what you fail to understand. The Christians in the book of acts did not vote to have their money or possessions confiscated by the government and then handed to able-bodied people who refuse to work.
