As a Christian, I am deeply offended that Mr. Fischer would suggest that the American military ban those who are of the Muslim faith from serving our country. Islamic extremism is an enemy of democracy not peace loving Muslims. We have millions of Muslims who live in our country who love America, champion individual liberty, and given their lives in service to the USA.
I would call on all moderate, peace loving, Muslims to condemn any and all terrorist acts done in the name of Islam. Ours is a country that respects freedom of religion and there should be no reason why anyone who loves our country and is committed to defending the Constitution and freedom should be denied service in the military.
Glad I left the Republican party. This is one of the many reasons why.
I don’t like Sarah Palin, but she does not deserve to be ridiculed. In all honesty, I think her political career is over. Especially since she resigned from being governor of Alaska. She didn’t even serve out a full term. But then again, maybe she decided to leave and see what was over in Russia.
The Obama tax increases only apply to those who make over $250,000 per year. Even then, he only increases them to the levels they were during the Clinton years. I will not defend Clinton’s moral failings, but look at the facts. By the end of the Clinton years, unemployment was low and the economy was booming. I hope that Obama can fix the mess that Bush made in the economy.
Just to let JaredfromTexas know that I am not a liberal Democrat. My political views are much closer to Bob Casey of PA than to John Kerry. I am pro-life, but do feel that there should be exceptions for rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is endangered.
I lean Democratic because in the words of Tony Campolo “The reason why I buy into the Democratic Party more than the Republican Party is because there are over 2,000 verses of Scripture that deal with responding to the needs of the poor.”
So true. The Republican party caters to the wealthiest of Americans while leaving those in poverty behind.
I value diversity of opinion and am not threatened by those who do not agree with me. The typical Republican response to someone who disagrees with them is to yell “Liberal! Liberal!” Until the Republican party can come up with real solutions to the problems that face our nation, they will be a regional party. They need new ideas.
The GOP should celebrate the fact that Joe the Plumber is leaving their party. If the GOP ever wants to be considered seriously, they need to stop catering to the far right. Instead of being the party of “No” they need to present new ideas. We tried Bush’s policies for 8 years and they did not work.
What is he afraid of if he doesn’t think that gays are child molestors? Does he think that they will work their gay voodoo and turn his kids gay? It is one thing to have an opinion that the gay lifestyle is not moral according to a Biblical world view, it is quite another to say that you will not allow your children around them.
GuidoVanHorn: Isn’t it rather judgmental to say that I am extremely judgmental? Hmm….
Read the founding documents. Read the Constitution. Read up on your U.S. History. Our country is not a Christian nation and never has been. We have always been a nation that has respected freedom of religion and has embraced a Judeo-Christian philosophy.
I don’t want to argue this much. Seems like you have your mind made up and it isn’t worth the time.
I am conservative and will stand against this guy. As someone who opposes the gay lifestyle, I would have no problem with my children being around a gay person. What a bigot! So he thinks that gays are child molestors? What a jerk. It is called tolerance. Our nation is not a Christian nation. It was founded on a Judeo-Christian philosophy. This guy is an ignoramus.

Janet Jackson's Breast (Below) Still Making News
May 5th, 2009 at 10:39 amI think it is time to move on. So we saw Janet Jackson’s breast for a very short time. Too bad government resources are being wasted on this.
