I'll take DMC91's suggestion and jot something down here. First off, if you're going to post something of tangible value, make sure you're spelling and grammar are correct. SteveX's stuff just seems like mindless drivel. I get the general idea, but most people are not going to listen to someone who comes across as an intellectual toddler. I'm not saying he is. I don't know the guy personally. Maybe I'm just old fashioned in thinking that something has to make sense if you want people to understand it.

Second, if you're going to start posting you're political views, you should probably do your homework first. Taxes and laws really don't have as much to do with the presidency as everybody thinks. Does anyone else remember social studies in elementary school? There are three branches of government in this country: judicial (court system), executive (military, and yes that includes the president) and legislative (congress). When the president is a republican, the majority of congress is usually democrat and vice-versa. The president doesn't make the laws, congress does. And yes, I do understand how veto works, do you? So those of you that are democrat for no other reason than you weren't paying attention when the last democratic president was in office and are only voting that way because you don't want another republican in office need to wake up and smell the coffee. It's usually the democratic side of politics that gets us in a s!@#storm anyways. I'm a republican and I don't agree with a lot of things McCain stands for, but the fact of the matter is that the President is the one in charge of the military and it's movement. Being that we're at war, is it really in the best interest of the country to elect someone with no military experience. You may not support the war and what you THINK it stands for, but that doesn't change the fact that we have to deal with it. I don't know about you but I'd rather have someone in charge that has decades of experience in the matter than someone who read about it... one time... in a book... somewhere... I think... and no, just because we elect a democrat does not mean that the war will be over. No matter who is elected, it will take time to extract ourselves from the situation.
While I'm on the subject, what the hell is wrong with everybody anyways? 9-11 happens and everybody is screaming for blood. For about a month, it was a matter of tremendous pride to be an American. The second anybody hears that there might be some horrific scenes of gruesome violence, we all just want to stop and say "Sorry, we didn't mean it. We don't really want to be at war. It's not PC enough for us." Every day the news reports on deaths in Iraq from accidents and contact fire. When was the last time anybody heard about a squad of Marines on patrol that sent more of those two-bit cowards to meet alah? 65 years ago, we had a similar problem. It was Nazism, same deal. A bunch of radicals who thought themselves to be God's one true superior race and felt it their purpose to eradicate the world of those who didn't fit the mold. The major difference there is that the Nazi's were proud to be who they were and very brazen because of it. These damn camel jockey's take sucker punches at us and dive back into a crowd of their own people because they know we are humane enough not to mow down their fellow countrymen when they're only innocent bystanders. But enough, I'm going into a discussion for another time.

Regardless of who is elected, the war will end eventually. When it does the president at the time will get the credit for it all. More people remember that Truman used atomic force to end WWII than FDR's speech and why we got into it in the first place. I guess King Solomon was right in saying that "Every day is different, but every day is the same." I just think it is an excruciating shame that the memory of those who gave their lives for this country is disregarded because of the American public's insatiable need for instant gratification. We truly are products of our own short comings.

And just to explain the whole experience vs. education thing... How many of you mature guys are getting replaced at work by some punk who has never had any actual experience at the job. He does have a little piece of paper though, that says he read about it and somehow that qualifies him to tell you that you're doing everything wrong because it's not straight out of a textbook. How long did it take them to figure out that the way they were taught is not efficient or practical enough so they started to do it the way you were doing it when they first got the job and "knew everything"? If you're a youngster, ask your father if he's ever run into this at work. I bet he has a few stories. I'm not saying that learning from a book is bad. There is, however, a point that theory has to turn into practical application, and you can't get your hands dirty by flipping pages. Unless you're doing everything with the book right there with you, but then, what good are you?

My point is that most intelligent people, when they have a problem with their car, take it to a mechanic, not the guy down the road who just bought a car magazine at the quickie-mart. If you have read this entire thing, I applaud you for taking the time to listen to someone else's opinion and hopefully expanding your mind. If you stopped reading after the first paragraph, then you are an exact replica of this country's greatest problem.


P.S. This country is only dependent on foreign oil because we don't have enough refineries. All praise be to the democratic controlled congress for refusing the zoning for said refineries. Drilling in itself isn't going to do any good without the refineries to process it. The US has enough to power itself strictly on oil for the next 100+ years, but we have to ship the little we pull out somewhere else for refinement. It costs to ship it out, ship it back, and to refine. No problem though, our economy is so strong we won't notice all that money disappearing, right? Thanks again congress.

Kudos for taking the time to write out such an eloquent, well thought out piece. I wish more people in this world would think before opening their mouths and spouting forth brazen arrogance, or instigating stupid arguments.
Thank you.

No problem. I am a firm believer that the worst you can do is nothing at all. This isn't much, but if it helps someone to understand we live in reality instead of fantasy land, then it is at least a start. And if we want to actually change things for the better, we have to start somewhere.

I do so hate the way that word is used by both sides of this thing. Change, change, change... They say it an awful lot without ever mentioning what it is that they're going to change. Does anyone else realize that things can change for the worse too?

You don't understand. War is a necessary evil, and the intent is not to kill the innocent. In reality, through the American sacrifice, we saved countless Iraqi lives now and into the future. We aren't in a bad situation at all today.. I don't know why everyone is complaining.

And for that second little comment... the United States military would ruin any other country without blinking.. yes that includes Russia. We have the best everything, and no one dares to step on us.

Thanks for the back-up. I think he's mainly upset about his piss poor typing skills. Also quite delusional. I'm not sure why he thinks all the military force in this situation is unmerited. He obviously forgot that we were attacked first even though I reminded him by making the reference to 9-11 and the thousands of innocent lives lost that day. Let us not forget that that was not the first attempt on the WTC. They just didn't succeed the first time. They were, however, finally caught about 20-25 miles from my place, which kind of astounds me. Knowing the people in the area where they were hiding, I'm surprised that a lynch mob wasn't formed. Come to think of it, we could have finished the job the first time we were over there. Instead, everyone wanted to elect a numbskull to pull all the military back. So, if you really think about it, we could have prevented 9-11 if the greater American public wasn't a bunch of oxygen thieves.

As far as you thanking God that I'm poor, the only reason I am is because I have to spend half my wages on illiterate types like yourself who are draining this country that I love from a booming economy and high national I.Q. average.

Today is a real big deal day on WALL street stock exchange. Lehman bro going bankrupt and Merrill lynch to be bough out by Bank of America. I personal don`t think Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will survive. both of these bank are secret sub-bankers under the federal reserve (the central bank of north America).

This is a sign of the central bank (IMF) tightening up the printing of paper money and imposing limited circulation. The central bank is also calling in all debts. The ELITE banker is doing its 100 yrs audit on the north American economy. this will be conclusive in the year 2013. I say 2013 ,because the federal reserve is a private bank en-power by the government and it was form on January 1913 . We are more likely to see the failure of more banks to come, which may drive the u.s. government to close the federal reserve and en-power the USB (U.S.Bank the American people bank) located in PA.

I know the ELITE bankers must have another one up they sleeve. The NAU (north American Union). The same way you are seeing the banks and other cooperation merging, Is the same way you are going to see the nation merge with Mexico and Canada. This will bring the NEW currency of the land, call the Amero. Yep in the near future we maybe using another form of currency. If the u.s. should fail to restore this nation to a industrial state. It will fall flat on it face and wake up to third world crisis.

The WTO NAFTA and CAFTA is a organize trade and not free trade. These org have be promoting cooperation to re-locate to other nation. A nation where the cost of product is free or cheapest. The rest of the world have been working below American minimum wage worker since the Clinton too office. The Clinton are big friend of George bush sr and his NEW WORLD ORDER, en power by the IMF. The evil banker have cut a deal with the import market and its government. The Federal reserve must re-pay the IMF with interest ex amount of Billion. so the IMF can invest in the growing Asian market and Americanize it. Even if you look to at the forging market its growing like the American dream.

Well the American people have borrow enough to loose its trillions of dollar in gold at fort dix. When was the last time the American government/people had a viewing of its treasure. I believe the American people have lost all it god due to over-debt. the bank are now showing the gold to forging government has asset and collateral to do business in it nation.

Man this is like a comic book store (ONLY REAL) which can turn out so many different ways.

Could Russia be thinking. Its should serve the American purpose to bring the would under one control.. Only war may tell. The forging nation milatery stock pile is growing more powerful and intelligent

God bless the hurricane victim. While the media has our attention focus on it. Her is what our old pay The "dick" up to:
