This is not about me, this is about America.
He doesn't get it. He thinks being an American is blindly following your leader. His patriotism is the kind that the Nazi party needed to make their move in the 1930s. Blind allegiance.

Two thoughts: first of all, I think most people eventually determine which party best reflects their personal views, and that makes sense. Especially with the Presidential race, those ideals should be very important in your ultimate vote - as the President sets the agenda with the nomination of judges, and changing or continuing the makeup of the Supreme Court. Above all else, if you hate the candidates, you should keep that in mind, IMO.
I consider myself a democrat because I understand and respect the values that the party usually stands for. I have voted Republican in some instances, when I have a good feeling about the person, and what things they bring out that are important that may stray in some cases. I honestly think a balance of the two party ideal systems is a good thing for the country, so the two party system does and can work - with both sides represented and keeping a balance of ideas alive.
There are some democratic ideals that I don't care for, and some republican ones that I do like. But most of the time I side democratic. I don't think that complete, ongoing control of one party is a good thing, though.
I'd be open to looking at a viable third party, and controlling financial impacts on politics. Term limits may have to be a strong consideration in breaking the hold pork and money have on our current system, despite losing some competent and quality people in some areas. I'd guess we'd find other decent folk to replace them, and if they knew they were done in a couple terms, there certainly would be less at stake politically and financially for them individually.

wow..you are totally insane. Who is Hitler is your fantasy world? And while I am asking, who are we at "war" with?
:mj07: :mj07: :mj07:not blind party loyalty...i`m not a mccain fan...i guess you didn`t get those talking points...
if there`s blindness here,it`s the bds that`s infected the feeble minded...and it`s morphed into an anti-americanism that`s frightening at best,pathetic in the least....
i`m admittedly puzzled by many on here...behavior is always a summation of competing wishes and inhibitions, most of which are unconscious.....
when folks make a great show of their personal piety yet their manifest behavior is often damaging to others(our military/our country`s best interests), i wonder if they`re expressing forbidden unconscious wishes in ways that are disguised...("don`t question my patriotism,dude")...
you`re like a bunch of little jimmy carters...and spy is like hamas...hell,spy may be hamas...lol
carter`s now meeting with hamas... who wants the genocide of israel...in damascus,, the capital of a terror supporting and enabling state which oppresses its own people in ways that the left's fantasies of the bush administration's tortures cannot even approach.....
the strange mental contradiction of the left..well intentioned?...maybe....but,very dangerous that they can be led like sheep because of political indoctrination by the liberal media and the spythewebs of the world...
and then there are the spy`s of the world.. people who are particularly adept at stirring up others to rage.....
the radical islamists are particularly talented in stirring up their followers into manic rage against those who they believe have threatened their religion....
spy`s imams, of course, are men of peace representing the religion of peace, yet their followers commit egregious acts of violence and mayhem in their name......
and spy`s out here doing his part...his due diligence...death counts...anti-american article after anti-american article....and the sheep nod their heads...."can`t happen to us...we`re safe,this is america".....
tools...
and we have learned "academics"(gmro) and media people operating above their level of comprehension explaining how we`re the bad guys and the violence perpetrated world-wide by these fanatics actually equates to peacefulness....
buncha` jimmy carters...and we`ve seen this act before...the "they haven't taken my head yet...
/kill me last" mindset exhibited by the "neville chamberlain`s" of the world(neville met with hitler,and that worked out very well,didn`t it?....theres your hitler analogy....lol)....paving the way to the removal of the westernized shah of iran for ayatollah khomeini......
and then here we are....and jimmy`s still at it..
god help us....
In the words of UBL--America can never win war on terror--they don't have stomach for prolonged battle--
He's certainly read a lot of folks correctly--
--unforunately for them he's been been wrong past 8 years--and paid the price.
We'll see how next 8 years turn out :SIB
America can't win the war on terror, She has to limit the damage; contain it. The war on terror won't end with the wave of a white flag. This is not World War II. This is not the 40's. The war on terror is like the war on drugs, the war on education, the war on poverety, the war on liberty, the war on government corruption, the war on child abuse, the war on American apathy, the war on sexisim, the war on racism, the war on stupidity, the war on _____..... For anyone to think that a win in Iraq and it's over is wishful. The war on terror goes on and on and on and on . It's part of US, just like the other wars we have misunderstood and tryed to conquer, have assed ! This is the hardest war America has ever faced. You can't win a war when you don't understand the enemy and the picture. As time passes: wanna be patriots, make their deals with their devil, make their deals with death, while the good die young. There is no way to justify this. We are not safer because of the sacrifice that We don't deserve. Our Fellow Americans have given enough. Our Government let us down before and after 911. It's time for the rest of us to take our Country back and take our chances !
...unless you liked Hussein (Saddam) in power-taliban still running pakistan and afgan-lybia and yemen as terrorist havens; UBL & crew with his frequent flyer miles and get out of jail free card.
