Twenty years ago, southern Christians were more associated with the Democrats, since the Democrats were the party that worked for social justice, equality, helping the poor and defending the weak.

Since the 1990s, the GOP has reached out to Christians by promising them action on a slate of important issues such as abortion, gay marriage, prayer in school, and allowing teaching of creationism. They've now had six years of unilateral control in the White House and both houses of Congress. In those years, they achieved practically nothing on these issues.

So as Christians, we have to ask ourselves, if the GOP did nothing on these issues when they had total control, are they EVER going to do anything about them at the national level?

And if they are not, where should be align ourselves? Jesus calls us to love one another, defend the weak, support the poor, give to unfortunate. These don't sound like Republican values to me.

Do they to you?

I know communism and the soviet union was bad, but during the cold war most of the world was united against communism or against us, but it kept the governments in line, today, the us government just attacks whoever since we have the most powerful army and its causing a lot of problems.

Will it ever be cheaper or easier to do?

New law would require that all communication with government
(including proposals, new bills, speeding limits, etc) be in metric
measurements (perhaps with English standard in subtype).

Companies and individuals not communicating with the
government are free to continue to use the English Standard
system (or any other system).

Not cheap - but never cheaper. Ultimately reduce
communication costs for companies, reduce cost of
education since metric is easier to teach and less
error prone.

Is it time now?

My brother-in-law recently went through basic training at Fort Jackson. From what he tells me, they were not allowed to cuss, smoke or make them do PT in their Pro Masks. Everything else he told me about basic training seemed to be indicating a walk in the park.

I went to Fort Knox for OSUT, and everything they were not allowed to do to them they did to us. Could it be because of the fact that females train with males at Fort Jackson and Fort Knox is mainly if not all males. Or is it because Fort Jackson is a multi MOS basic training camp, while Fort Knox is more of a one MOS Combat Arms Basic training.

Homosexuality is considered genarally admissible (al teast by the liberal western world)

Incest (I am talking about one between two consenting adults who are related) is considered illegal.

Please don't read this as anything to do with my personal life. I am a straight man who is skeptical whether either of them are genetic traits.

I find homosexuality acceptable, but consider incest as disgusting.

Is there really any difference? Of course, having inbred children is not good for the society, but taking that fact out, are the two very different? Should we treat them completely differently and have completely different laws?

It isn't all our personal feeling and opinons (of disgust and acceptance of a certain practice) just influenced by society, specifically by certain individuals who can create that influence?

I am sure this is going to touch a lot of nerves!

Okay...hope I understand this correctly.

Michigan just had proposal 2...to get rid of affirmative action...I believe it passed.

Ironically it was two U of Michigan cases that were just heard by the SC in 2003. A split decision...upholding for undergrad(and not for the law school)..I think..lol...on the basis that "diversity" in important to universities.

Now this proposal 2...again how can they pass a state law when it was just upheld by the SC...again...wouldn't that trump their state law b/c of the supremacy clause.

One other that I can think of is the marjuana laws in California....they've(Ca) passed laws that are clearly against federal laws....so how does that work?

Do you receive e-mails from others on this forum telling you that you are full of hate because of your views on immigration?
Are you tired of them preaching to you from their pedestals?
Are you tired of being told that Americans against illegal immigration, or mass immigration are all racists??
