Gary:There are over a billion Muslims in the world get over it. Fringe Religious nuts do crazy things.. Like The Abortion Doctor getting shot, like the immigration center getting shot up, like Orlando getting shot up. And so on and so on.

Gary - Yes, no one likes war, including Republicans... but you justify it with odd rationale.

"It (war) is sometimes necessary if we the U.S. want to live and help others live in peace."

..equates to...

"If we want people to have peace we need to go to war against them."

Maybe if Iraq had ever gone to war with us (or was going to war against an ally). They didn't/weren't. It wasn't necessary (or well advised). Thousands killed. Millions displaced. 7 years and ongoing. All unnecessary. They fight us because we're there. They will continue to fight each other whether or not we are there.

- also -

A crazy people shooting others in Ft. Hood is no different than crazy people shooting others in Orlando. People, including Christians, do crazy stuff, sometimes in the name of religion/god, sometimes due to mental instability or other personal situations in life.

Though Muslims have condemned this act, that won't stop others, like you, from blaming it on one aspect of that person's background. Sad.

Just saying...

To DANNYGS: "no I'm against war if the Republicans are in charge, they like it to much and aren't that bright."
Wow! Your about two slices of bread short of a sandwich. No one likes war including the Rep. It is sometimes necessary if we the U.S. want to live and help others live in peace. We just had another muslim attack at Fort Hood, Texas and you ain't seen nothin yet.

How easily we forget the history of the Democratic Party. Let me educate you for a minute. President during WWI was Wilson (D). Truman (D) was the president during the Korean War. FDR (D) WWII. JKF/LBJ (D) VIETNAM War. So what are we really talking about? I'm not even a Republican, but you should probably read a history book or something.

If Obama leaves Chicago on a west-bound train traveling at 45 miles per hour and, at the same time, Sarah Palin leaves Alaska on an east-bound train traveling at 28 miles per hour, how long would it be before those 2 morons crashed into each other?

no, I'm against war if the Republicans are in charge. they like it too much and aren't that bright.

So what you are saying is that you are against war......unless Obama is calling the shots. Sounds like pretty good logic. Keep sipping on the Obama kool-aid. He can do no wrong.

I'm against the wars still, that we're in, the difference between Cheney and Bush in charge and Obama is that with Obama we have an intelligent approach to getting us out. With Cheney and Bush or Palin or McCain in charge we would be in Iran, Venezuela, and Russia right now. oh wait, anywhere that has oil... where is that....

I'm still very unhappy about the wars, but the difference is that the rest of our lives aren't going to be dedicated to war so that Cheney can line his pockets.

So Danny.....If you are so tired of the last 8 years then why aren't you angry still? We are STILL in Iraq. We are in Afghanistan. We still have troops in over 130 countries. How is this different? Why are you so partisan? I am against Bush and Obama's wars.....Are you? No, you only like whatever your democrats do.....regardless of what it is. Why can't you see that you are a hypocrite? You are against waterboarding....good for you. Why do we still have the patriot act? Is Obama repealing that? No, you should be angry with him too.

Just Saying - Brilliant response.

Fake Barack Obama, re: end of America as we 'know' it - GOOD!!!!! I hope the America that we've known for the last 8 years can be over! the one of waterboarding and taking us into wars we have no place starting. Also, I hope the America of hate and inequality can finally be over. I hope that we rise up to how great we can be as a country and help our poor by making things better for all of us through reform of health care. Those that don't want change are happy with corporate control over the masses who follow blindly while our own citizens suffer. Goodbye to the America that let New Orleans drown because the sections that were most likely to housed the blacks and the poor..... good riddance to your America. Enjoy your struggle to keep it - the kids of today and those in their 20's want nothing to do with the ignorance in the past - you will all die off and the America you knew will be DEAD with you.

It is getting tiring having to "vote for the lesser of two evils" as the saying goes.
We just got the wrong one this time.
I think a blank space for President would have been a better choice.
If we ALL wrote in the space "neither one", do you think they would let us start all over again ?

Destroying the constitution + undeclared wars + fiat money system + corrupt Washington + welfare state + war on drugs + overseas empire + nanny state = the end of America as we know it.

I keep HOPING one of the parties will field an electable candidate for President, or any other public office. So far, nothing has CHANGED since I came of legal age to vote in 1988.

If the Republican candidate had been a better one, he would have won. That's not saying, of course, that the Dem candidate and current president are perfect, but it certainly says a lot about who was running against him. You can dislike Obama all you like, I don't care, but at least take 30 seconds to remember the cluelessness McCain was the posterchild for when it became obvious the country was having a financial problem.

American history has never recorded corruption on this scale. How's that "hope and change" working out for you?

-1+1=0

Mr. Jordan,
You forgot the corporate shills. Don't kid yourself into thinking they're not doing their fair share to run this great country into the ground. You might at least tell the WHOLE story if you're going to use the ink.

Community organizers - demonized (I assume) because our president had been one. The people running Operation Santa are community organizers, also, as are several other volunteers working for various organizations.

Politicians - who we, the people, elect to enact legislation, run agencies, and allocate taxpayer $,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$.$$

Despots - persons with absolute power, often a tyrant. Well, we can see how much is (not) getting done in government currently, so I'm not sure why this was brought up.

Lobbyists - should probably be outlawed. Until such a time, they are (unfortunately) just doing their job; buying influence.

Czars - a title lazy journalists have used since Nixon years to describe administrators of certain agencies. Lazy journalists' title = lazy critics' insult.

Attorneys - Again, just doing their job. (*see Lobbyists above)

Minions - People who are led to believe community organizers are inherently evil, "czars" is a new term turning us into the next USSR, and voters aren't responsible for the quality of leadership in government. (*see liars below)

Liars - Lazy people who call people names instead of talking about issues.

a total house cleaning of our gov.
