Great video! I especially like your support of the troops, no matter what goes on at the political level!

I agree with you that when people get vulgar, become disrespectful, they are just shutting down dialog. That doesn't mean we can't voice our views, disappointments and concerns, but people really need to work on being civil and try to connect with the other side and be constructive. Each side beleives they're right, but that doesn't mean they are on everything!

Thanks Rog. Like we were saying in your video post to Duncan Hunter - We can all disagree but it doesn't mean we have to throw respect out of the conversation.

I hope he takes the time to watch and respond to your video.

[j0eg0d]

You know McCain doesn't like the whole internet thing as it is, and I'm hoping he isn't further discouraged by his "ratings" or people verbally bashing him. We need all of these candidates to listen to us. So YES I hope he responds ... I hope he takes the time and responds to all of our videos.

You sound like a Ron Paul supporter!!

[mellybegood]

You are the bomb! Keep setting the issues straight. Also, let me know what I can do to help!

I understand that, but that's where we disagree. I don't think that's a bad thing on some issues. There are some areas of policy that should be uniform across the country, while others should be up to localities. The most important strength in the segregation and redundancy of of powers is in keeping the other levels honest and transparent.

[j0eg0d]

Look at where we are right now especially in the area of voting power. We have seven/eight States with more voting power than the others. Americans are accepting the path of majority decisions and Federal Laws superseding Local Laws.

[j0eg0d]

It's the point of a republic to break down power to it's lowest levels. You'ved stopped on the question of State corruption, but the idea of decentralizing authority goes down to County City & Townships. The point of the segregation of power to keep one another in check, so one town won't use corruption to gain power over the other towns. One city won't gain power over the other cities. One State won't gain power over the other States. The Federal Government won't gain absolute authority.

I've learned the differences of faith & religion are lie a broad spectrum for everyone in the world. We can all look at the "Westboro Baptist Church" for what Christianity really is or we can focus on the positivity of a Christian Church. The very same goes for Muslims. Classifying an entire group based on the actions of the few is bigotry - I'll have no part in it.

[Kilkman]

I'll spell it out. They are bait, voluntarily. And you are right. Things aren't going to get better until they drop the PC pretence. Let's face it; a Christian isn't going to harbor a Klan member that just blew up a church, or even associate with one. But a Muslim has to shelter a ghihadist as a matter of faith, even if he just blew up a mosque.
