What you are taught doesn't mean it's right.No where in the Constitution does it say that
I suppose you think our Government is a democracy
...It isn't...It's a Constitutional Republic.
Oh, what the heck...

Hi, I am a life-long republican from Iowa, and am very concerned with the direction the Republican party is going. As a man of faith, I am very skeptical that George Bush holds the same faiths I do, I feel he politicizes it FAR too much. I hope this is a true and open dialogue so that we may keep to our values and keep “the good” in office. I want my two children to grow up in a country with real Republican values, many of which reflect the Christian household I was brought up in. I was also taught there MUST be a separation of church and state, a small government, and compassion for fellow man are necessary. I want to live in a country where I can speak my mind about the issues that matter to me without fear.
Some of the things I am concerned with are: What is Cheney saying “Go **** Yourself” to other national politicians?? And making money through Haliburton off of the war? He thus Breaks the commandment “Thou shalt not steal”. See: http://www.voanews.com/article.cfm?objectID=E6171DC3-72C4-45CA-A8F32792A426EFAA

I do not think that increasing the national debt by $445 billion! dollars is very conservative, I myself have no debt and was raised to never ever go in debt. My kids are inheriting a massive debt from my generation that their kids just may be paying on too!
Now that it proven there were no weapons of mass destruction, didn’t President Bush break the commandment “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor”?
Going to war breaks the commandment “Thou shalt not kill”. My family has fought in every American war since the Civil War. War is SOMETIMES justified obviously, but violence begets violence. Even more ~ not supporting our troops properly, putting them in harm's way needlessly, cutting their pay and screwing with Veterans Benefits.
I have several friends who have traveled abroad this summer and everywhere they went people were enraged by the actions of our government, I want to live in a world where my children can travel abroad at will peacefully.
And to quote a fellow blog poster: "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing." Take that, hand-wringing liberals!
So, I guess I am asking any fellow citizens what they think, any suggestions?? Where has our party gone? The other option looks better everyday!
Thanks, Mark
Pay no attention to that man behind the sheep!

Oh, what the heck...
Mr. Christian, so where does the Bible say be a silent witness.
Prepare to observe a proper zotting and flight of the Viking Kittens...
now how mean is that to insinuate on the poor guy's VERY FIRST DAY ON FREE REPUBLIC....?
When you put your two children to sleep tonight ask yourself these questions:
1. How does what other countries think of the United States make my kids safer?
2. As a Christian should I convert to Islam to make my kids safe from terrorists?
3. If I had to chose who would protect my kids while they slept, would I want George Bush or John Kerry on guard outside their door?
4. And last but not least, as a Christian, am I really comfortable with what I have written in this post?
By the way, the, errr, off-color photo above is actually a personal safe. No kidding! It would certainly keep me from messing with the owner's... valuables.
Cool...you are a quick learner! :)
More of that compassionate conservatism, I suppose?
Thats why I asked what was so attractive about the "other Option".
At this point, he hasn't been banned yet, he's probably giggling to himself and drooling about what a devastating vanity he thinks he posted.
Slim Revealed.
; )
Oh oh, he's been restored. The mods are letting us play with our food!
Click the pic!
Are you questioning my patriotism?!?! I served in Desert Storm!!! I'm not responsible for posting that photo!!
I donated to George W. Bush's campaign, as well as volunteered for it. So I think it's pretty obvious to everyone here that Bush's right-wing smear machine is behind that photo's distribution!!
You're evil, Agent 47!
LOL!
