American influence crumbling

[Diuretic]

Consider that many in religion mostly want others to die for their cause.

I never saw any priests or preachers with guns in their hands in combat.

Just one or two Popes.

It's a Corruption of Principle.

Sorry, but the state and religion have been intertwined for many hundreds of years around the world. Your Founding Fathers didn't fall for that one.

Even when they preach violence and death to the muslims?
Not the pope, but many US Christian preachers do.

And some Irish priests. But, being Irish, they don't count, right?

The Church of England warriors would think so

Friday afternoons before Benediction yes, one or two in my experience as an altar boy, Still the housekeeper would get them into bed and call the alternative priest for the afternoon Benediction.

How about from the start. Be honest.

USA has done better than most for the Secular approach. Thank God for John Locke.

That's a tough one, When We abandon Conscience and demand blood, when what God wants is Repentance, not death. Death is the last option, at least it should be.

When the leaders of the most powerful government in the world, which also happens to be the most democratic and the most peaceful, decide that it is no longer any of our business what the rest of the world..guess what? We cease to matter.

I wonder what the pacifists who insist we have no business moderating those countries that insist on violating the civil rights of their own people, who beg us for help against terrorists from other countries who slaughter their people, who want tyrannical despots deposed, will say when we let those guys just do their own thing, they gain more power, and turn en masse against us?

Will they say we deserve it?

LOL. Ask any Native American.

Fuckwad. My kids are American Indians. I lived with the tribe for years, my sister works for them.

Percentage-wise, they send more soldiers out to protect and establish freedom than any other ethnic group.

So you were saying? Believe me, they don't want America to become the least important republic in the world, and they have an abiding hatred for militant Muslims.

And my mother-in-law was Hunkpapa Lakota. And I fully realize that the American Indian serves in a much higher per centage than does any other ethnic group in this nation. Anyone that has been to a Pow-Wow and watched the Grand Entry realizes that.

As for your projection of a hatred of militant Muslims on them, I do not see that. What I see is that they are more willing than most to defend their nation. In spite of the way that this nation has treated them.

Osama is taking us to the American holocaust.

No...Obama is going to make sure we all have health care including you ya fuckin wackadoodle. They will fix your brain and you will be thankfull.

i already have insurance that I like. Obama will force me to buy a more expensive policy or else slap a hefty tax on me.

You are going to have to buy a more expensive policy if things remain as they are. The price of health care has been rising fast for the last decade, and will continue to do so as long as the Health Insurance companies are ran for profit.

But at least now i have a choice.

I can pick a higher deductible in an HSA, I can drop coverage for things like chiropractic and physical therapy.

I don't pay for substance abuse or mental health counseling because i don't need them but in a "government approved plan" I'll be shelling out big bucks for those coverages I have never needed and won't need in the future.

As I've been saying this bill is nothing but a pay out for the insurance companies and the trial lawyers. it will not be good for the average American.

If you want to see where this bill is going just look at what happened in MA. Their mandated health care is already 6 times more expensive than estimated and it's only been in effect for a few years.

I think it's so arrogant of people here to think that some how the rest of the world cannot survive without us. Trust the world will not collapse. Despite what you some of you ignoramus think, there many other countries in the world that are far more progressive and advanced than us. Other countries take care of their people very well. Their children are well educated. Many countries even offer free university education.

And one of the reason we are on a decline is because we a Bush in office for 8 years. A lot of people around the world lost respect for us. We were the joke of the world and continue to be. Our president for the last 8 years started a war on imaginary WMDs. Even Britain one of our biggest allies wants out of that mess.

Education has taken a back seat in this country. We got idiots graduating from high school. We have adults who don't even know how to use a world map. We got kids coming to school disrespecting the teachers and parents do nothing about it. more and more kids are failing in basic subjects like English and math.

And you wonder why we are on a decline? There was a time in country when things were great. People loved this country and worked hard to keep this country at a high standard. people made sure their kids got top grades. Common sense existed in America. Now it's hard to find common sense.

don't you find it funny that the more government has gotten involved in our lives, the worse off we are?

Actually I think the government isn't involved enough. The problem with government stepping in now is too little too late. Government should have stepped in years ago. especially with things like healthcare. Health care should have been government controlled decades ago.

American capitalism gone with a whimper

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

so exactly how much of your paycheck do you want the government to confiscate so it can control even more of your life than it already does?

No. Everything the government touches in our personal lives they screw up. I do not like the government to control what I do or how I do it. I did that for 22 years making sure that you had the freedoms to live your own life. I now am enjoying those freedoms myself. I would truly enjoy keeping them.

Just say NO to Socialism.
