    You walk with blinders or you are man who burries head on hole in ground. Makes it easy to get ??? kicked... :laugh:

    What make you think we can get serious about fighting one middle eastern country without the rest getting involved? They're family man, they hate and fight each other but don't you dare lay a hand on any of them. Just as the North Vietnamese hid out in Cambodia and Loas these insurgents are being protected also. To go full out means fighting or weakening that protection. And for every stray bullet that kills a child or a grandmother we'll create 10 more insurgents.

    I'm afraid you don't see the true picture on this one...

    What makes you think we need to wipe out the entire Middle East to win the war? I am thinking you are an ignorant traitor.

    Now we wouldn't have to wipe them all out, just the one or two Muslims... Good news is, last poll I saw said 70% of the Kurds appreaciate our presense.

    Plain and simple it is wrong to help the ungodly. That is to help them prosper in the things of the world. When you vote for someone who supports abortion you are an accessory to the crime in the eyes of God. The reason this is even an issue is because many so called Christians want to vote for a candidate that lives like the devil but can advantage the voter financially. The love of money is the root of all evil friends.

    If abortion were simply a matter of imposing a moral viewpoint on another person then I would argue that it would be sinful to vote for someone who opposed its legality.

    The real issue is that it is the greatest civil/human rights issue/travesty of all time.

    Very simply put, exercising a legitimately free choice that one will account for before God does NOT yield an additional "right" to end someone else's life at any point of maturity when the consequences are undesirable.

    Apply abortion logic to this:

    A woman gets drunk as she is legitimately free to do. Recklessly, she uses this freedom to then climb into the drivers seat of a car to head home on a usually deserted road with a doctor friend. She knows the risks but has gotten away with it before. Half way home, she runs another car off the road trapping inside a child in need of immediate then extended care but with a reasonable expectation for attaining a full, normal life.

    The doctor in complicity points out that he could perform a simple procedure that would cause a quick death that no one would ever know about.

    The woman weighs the choice. Take responsibility to do the right thing by saving a life and face some pretty inconvenient consequences... financial, jail (physical inconvenience), stigma, loss of friends, loss of job opportunities, family embarrassment, etc, etc

    Take the offered "solution" and erase those consequences... while denying someone else their right to live.

    Abortion logic says this woman has a completely legitimate right to make that choice safe from interference by the law.

    Tell you the truth

    I don't think I can vote for anyone who goes against moral principals. That just about leaves everyone out, so I guess my vote won't count this year because there is to much out there that I don't agree with. To many things that go against my Christian values and :type: judgement. If I have to vote, than I will need a lot of material on each canidate. Each canidate that I put a mark against will not get voted for. I am right back where I started, my vote won't count if I don't vote. Right?
