Librasoul- It is very disenheartening to see people that hold the opinions and the character that you do in our country. Especially on a day like this. I refuse to get in any more petty immature battles on this board. My father has taught me many things about the division between liberals and conservatives that I have to accept. He has told me time and time again that he would love for me to marry any race as long as he was educated and Republican. And he is right. Republicans and Democrats have completely different ways of computing information. So I won't try to change the way you think. It isn't worth my time. It is so easy to criticize your president, but I think it arrogant to do so as you are not faced with protecting millions of lives daily, upholding this nations faith and principles.
I don't believe that any leader desires to bring his country into war, but it is a necessary evil in order to keep the peace and keep America, the country in which you so freely enjoy endless rights and benefits, as the greatest nation in the history of God's great earth.

Number one -- What on earth does race have to do with anything?? Why even bring that into this?
Number two -- This is not going to be a "petty immature" battle unless you make it one. This is a topic of discussion along with most other threads on GC. If my views affect your sensitivity, deal with it. No, do not try to change my views, but do try to offer up something constructive to appreciate your point of view. I would at least respect that. I do not respect your defensive posture and holier-than-thou attitude.
Number three -- Think I am arrogant for my post? Honestly. It has nothing at all to do with Democrat, Republican, Reform Party, Green Party, whatever. It has to do with the way that he runs this country, which I don't find to be particulary effective.
Number four -- Because dekeguy said something you agree with he is a "proud, educated American"? Because I offered a dissenting opinion, does that mean I am not? Just curious.
Also...war is NOT a necessary evil. And America is NOT the greatest nation ever. That is a short-sighted belief. Do you also believe that America was discovered by Columbus?
