thank's Montana, but don't worry, I got this one.

It's not that I'm offended in the slightest Mrs. L. It's just that you're not stating your beliefs so much as you're linking to a really awful idealogue pundit who talks out his ass. The moment I saw Glen Beck I knew it was going to be pompous douchebagery.

"I believe in Justice"? As opposed to people that don't believe in justice? No, this isn't a declaration that we need to do the right thing... it's a right wing "tough on crime" stance. The same kind of stance that leads to the U.S.'s insanely high prison rates... and crime rates.

There's nothing unifying and universally true about his "Principles". It's just his specific ideology wrapped up in the flag. And you should always be careful of something that needs to wrap itself in the flag, because it's probably pretty damn ugly naked.

 

well im sorry you feel that way(i think you are compleatly wrong, but hey). as for being tough on crime leading to high prison rates, that is rediculous. maybe if we were tough on crime like we should be, people wouldnt be as likely to commit them. i dont know about you, but i sure dont want rapist's and murderes walking around free. a lot of places in this county havent been tough on crime in a long while and that is why crime rates are high. you dont like glen beck...fine, you think his principles are awful...fine. the main reason i linked to that site was for the videos on the tea partys(which i think is a great idea), but i do agree with his values and principles and for what he, and what this country used to, stand for.

Well about the crime rates.

Look, in Europe we're way less strict than you guys in the US but our crime rates are way lower than yours (we are also not allowed to purchase guns that easily). We don't use the death penalty but we have way less murders than the US.

Forgiveness is always a good thing. I'm German, my grandfathers started the second world war. Today when I tell people that I'm german they often say "that's cool, I like Germany". If it wasn't for the forgiveness of the other European countries germany surely wouldn't be that well integrated in the EU today and maybe someone would've started another war. Just to give you an example.

Coincidently, high criminal rates could directly relate to the lack of socialism in the US.

Oh and I hope my previous comment didn't offend you. That wasn't my intention. I apologize in that case.
