@Halo
For someone who is so conservative I find it VERY interesting you like Lincoln. |
Why because of the rumor that he was a RINO? He was the 1st Republican president so of course there was some settling going on into what the early base would eventually believe in.
I also like Eisenhower's military finesse, Nixon's early appeal and ways of "sockin' it" to the enemy, Reagan for obvious reasons, and GWB's Christian and no retreat, no surrender attitude. Anyway, that's just some of my thoughts.

Just about all conservatives I have met have stuck to the viewpoint that if it is not explicitly stated in the Constitution, then it should not be controlled, none of this "interstate trade" bullshit they are pulling.
Yet, Lincoln has done one of the most unconstituional acts of any president. That's why I'm wondering.
@Montana
I hear she is new at this interwebz business, cut her some slack. I remember when I was new to the thing, bad day.
@Mrs.
Maybe instead of being tough on crime it would be better if we focused on the reasons WHY the crime was committed in the first place? IMO, if everyone had that government to back on, they would commit less crimes, and thus we'd all be better for it. I don't mind paying higher taxes if it means less people out there are stealing and killing.

thanks, my husband warned me not to talk politics...next time i will listen to him
i think it would be great to fined out why crimes are being committed, however something would still need to be done because unfortunately us knowing why is not necessarily going to stop them. and then there is a whole other issue with peoples feelings as to why because every expert has their own theory...the thing is, is that you cant pin point one reason that sums up all murders and why they are committed or all rapes and say this is why they occur or all robberies and say that they all take place because of one reason. personally, i think that most crime is do to the brake down of the family and parents not taking interest in raising their children with any kind of moral compass, and every one having their own opinion as to right and wrong and nothing being black and white. if everyone makes their "own truth" and right and wrong is all in the eye of the individual then that allows for all kinds of issues...

So everyone should have the same opinions? Well mrs. I'm sorry but I think my opinions are far far far superior to yours and you should conform to mine, and I should not conform to yours, and you should teach any children my opinions and beliefs not yours. That is, if we are playing this game at all.

im not going to cram my opinions down anyones throat but, yeah i do think everyone would be better off if they shared my views
