]]> Comment on Why do we fight? by sappercookie http://viewsofaveteran.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/why-do-we-fight/#comment-44 sappercookie Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:46:30 +0000 http://viewsofaveteran.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/why-do-we-fight/#comment-44 Richard, I am just now reading your comment to this post and I have to say that you missed the idea behind this post. this post was to show why I fight, why I am in the Army, and my take on what the Koran means. Now it is my belief that when 2 people read the same text that more then likely there will be 2 different views on what was written. I have nothing against Muslims, in fact I have worked closely with people that are Muslim and I call them my friends. What I have a problem with are the Muslims that read the Koran and takes its teachings and interpret them as a calling to kill people that do not believe in the Islam religion. In fact it is very hard not to read the Koran and see why they do that. These are Radical's and I fight to rid this earth of them! There is no reason why you can't worship your god and a Jew worship his god, and a christian worship his god, its your choice to do as you see fit, but we all of the right and the ability to live in a world were people are allowed to worship how they see fit with out being killed because it does not agree with the way a group decides to worship. This is not the 1200's it the 21st century and we should live as one! Richard,

Think Dukakis in the tank, Ford falling down, "I am not a crook," Ronald Reagan saying, "I told you that I hadn't traded arms for hostages, but it turns out that I did," the killer rabbit, and "I voted for it before I voted against it," all rolled into one brief sound bite that can be played more times than the "Dean scream." McCain is either so "elite" that he doesn't know how many houses his wife owns, she apparently doesn't trust him to KNOW how many houses "they" own (run along Johnny, mommy is busy), he may be losing it because he is old, and he needs his STAFF to count to seven, or eight, or ten, for him. That's a negative image I couldn't have dreamed he would concoct for the election. Thanks, John. We couldn't beat you this badly without all your help.

Just set it so everyone can serve a max of 12 years -- 3 terms for President, 6 for Representative, and 2 for Senator. Of course, that requires an Amendment and the people in Washington to actually vote to limit their power. What we need is an organized, well-funded 3rd party that is an option to the current Republican feckless leadership and an option to the corrupt powermongering Democrats. Just require a pledge of all candidates that say they will follow some tenets of the party or face immediate recall. It shouldn't be so hard. Most 1st-timers are heavy on ideals rather than party values, so getting them to embrace some real change would probably be easy to apply. Getting them to defeat an incumbent who's been in their seat for 24 years may be a little harder. Nice blog, btw. I've added you to my blogroll. Doc We don’t have to change the system too much.

Alaska, Colorado, Wyoming, also trying get usable oil from coal shale ALL SHOT DOWN BY DEMS. So who is really supporting terrorism.
