Thank you so much for your viewpoint . . .
You are right, we are not the greatest country in the world anymore. Greed and selfishness have taken over this country, and it's starting to take its toll. That's why we have one of the worst education systems in the world -- our kids are being taught it's better to have things than to be a good person. I love Canada, have traveled there many, many times, and love the people. I have thought for a long time about moving there -- that might become a reality if we yet again put greedy, hate-mongering fools in the White House!
This viewpoint
Shows how delusional some can be. Pompous to presume that because some "pray" and he was picked that God chose him. While otherws who prayed got a different outcome. If there is a God, there is good and evil. One does not know if Obama was chosen by good or evil. Evil things happen all the time, so to say that because you prayed and he was chosen that God chose him. Men chose who won - not God. Men voted and put money in his campaign - not God. There are evil men and there are good men. Now the questions is and we will be finding out soon - did the men who chose Obama to be president - are they good or evil.
A different viewpoint from me
I've come to realize during this election there is a battle going on. Many people like to speak their minds, while others are more reluctant to do so for persecution of our feelings.
I spoke with my dad tonight and he put a lot in perspective for me. Dad’s always have a way of doing that (at least my dad does). He told me tonight that things in life happen for a reason. Sometimes we may not always see that reason until it has come to pass. He said the ideas that you may have could possibly be wrong. He said you may be right, but always leave the option open that you could be wrong.
He told me that there is nothing I can do personally to change the minds of others, so to save some “frazzled nerves”, just read and listen but keep your opinions to yourself, and don’t look on the bad side when the guy has not even been sworn into office. He said if there are articles of interest you want to share that is one thing, but just keep your feelings to yourself. He said just read, watch, and listen, and in time we will see whether we have elected a good man and I hope for the countries sake he is a good man.
He told me things are going to happen for a reason and you just have to learn to adapt otherwise you will just be in turmoil for things you cannot control. Nobody knows what the future will bring. So on those words of my dad I truly do hope President elect Obama becomes one of the greatest Presidents in history.
interesting viewpoint
I heard a person say that if the constiutents of the republicans are rich, it is in their best interest to keep them rich; therefore, if the constituents of the democrats are the poor, is it not in their best interest to keep them poor?
Not saying that I necessarily agree, just thought it was interesting.
Because there's more than one church, one viewpoint?
Until we all think and behave exactly like them, some Christians won't feel they got their way?
Exactly - just as your viewpoint is being forced
It works both ways, ya know.
So much for tolerance of an opposing viewpoint....
talk the talk, don't walk the walk. Don't understand it, never will. Not trying to educate anyone; however, I am learning a good deal about liberals...and the differences among them. Very interesting indeed.
Have a good day....ignore away. :)
Yes...this would be the liberal viewpoint of the entire...sm
Gov. Palin interview. Not surprising.
Charlie Gibson did perform his role for the left well, didn't he? Entrapment journalism at its best.
Another viewpoint - to be fair and truthful
Seeing as your link is to a radical left-wing blog, wanted to state the fact is that 68% of veterans have voted for McCain and 23% have voted for Obama (so I guess your article is getting just the viewpoint of those 23% or less).
To be balanced (and fair)here is a website that gives the other side.

another viewpoint - link inside
Seeing as truthout.org is very liberal of course they will get the worst of the worst to render their viewpoint. If you go to a more conservative site you will get a different feel of how the soldiers really feel. My best friends husband and son are both over there and they say the military are still proud to serve and encourage all of us to support them and find the good in what they are doing. I found this article from a woman soldier who was in Afghanistan and lost both her legs. She states in the article...
"My whole heart was into what I was doing. I love my people. I love my unit. I just love my job, and I'd go back and do it in a heartbeat."

I agree...and to bring a Christian viewpoint
..the Bible does state there is a time for peace and a time for war.
Shouldn't that be "another" Christian viewpoint?

by the way, backwards typist - I like hearing your viewpoint -
I am not bashing anybody - I respond sometimes to comments with my own opinions, but I respect that you have the right to yours also.
I never call anyone a liar on this board - but if I see something I think is incorrect, I will try to correct the information if I can...
Also, I agree with the issues needing to be discussed and not bashing - for example, I asked who would vote for SP in 2012 and it turned into "she's better than him" or "he did this" below. I truly wanted to know who would vote for her in the primaries.
But, I don't think it is just the dems tearing down the pubs - I am standing on the fence (neutral to party sides) and I see it going both ways...
Remarkable how a child's viewpoint can often offer wisdom
