Shouldn't we show more respect?

Question

I think that an American deserves respect no matter what party he or she is from. For the most part, I am conservative in my views. But, there are plenty of democrats putting their lives on the line for me and my country. For that I'm thankful! Now why should I hate anyone who is a democrat? There is really no reason! Why should a democrat hate me? Why can't someone say: "I respectfully disagree!?" Why not separate all rational ideas from both parties? I'm not saying that one should not stand up for what he believes in! But why not have an open mind? Politiical peer pressure has no affect on me. I believe in protecting the environment, and I also have alot of conservative views. I refuse to let my views be decided by anyone other than myself.

Well, Damian I will not label you a traitor! For one, I don't know you! Now that would be just plain stupid wouldn't it? lol..... Which is my point! People hate others they know nothing about! Political views are our right! I refuse to disrespect someone's right to an opinion.

Yeah Tedex I don't understand that either!

Well, the good news is you can change that without hatred! YOU CAN VOTE! And you will make a difference.

Answer 1

yes,but the politicians and pundits have created a division that people seem to be enjoying

Answer 2

Here's what we need to do to change things:

Our country, for the average American citizen, is almost destroyed.

We need to put politicians in both parties on notice. We keep the Constitution, hold special elections--first have a yea or nay no-confidence vote on the current administration, if yea, we hold additional elections. The result of the elections should be the replacement of those in all three branches of government, executve, legislative, and judicial. Institute term limits and campaign contribution limits.

Destroy the slanted media that is owned by globalist monopolies and replace the slackers with real jounalists who are willing to investigate and report without bias or the advertisers approval and stop using the White House and propaganda machines to do their reporting for them with prewritten news releases.

Put the government to work for the people. Launch a Manhattan Project style search for the best, least expensive alternative fuel to drive this nation. Say goodbye to oil and the Middle East will have to go to work instead of fighting with everyone who doesn't believe as they do.

Find a way to provide health care insurance at a low cost by re-doing the entire medical system in this country.

Take the power away from global coporations. Create American jobs at home for America people.While government statistics show our unemployment rate to be around 6 percent, some experts estimate that it is really between 10 and 11 percent if all the Americans who have exhausted unemployment benefits and just given up looking for work were counted. Put every American who needs an income to work.

No more illegal aliens--no excuses--you go back home. Slow immigration and make sure those who threaten this county leave this country. No more enemy aliens (an alien living in a country that is at war with his own country).

Promote family life, encourage young couples--with affordable housing and community support.

Nationalize all foreign holdings in the US. Kick BP out.

Fumigate the Department of Education--house clean. Revamp the education system with a new hands on approach to education. Tell the truth in textbooks--no international propaganda.

Get international policy institutes out of our decision making process.

Stop the dangerous trade with China and the import of its goods to the US. Tell the Pacific Rim that it's on its own.

Eliminate the United Nations and the World Bank. They want to destroy the sovereign country of the United States of America.

Allow the American citizen to excel and continue to do the miraculous job of growing the nation that it did before 2000.

Send the Bush family to the moon or Madagascar or Mexico, but get them and all their cronies out of this country.

Here's my question to you--can you do this, do you have the will or are you too dazed and beaten down, American?

Well get off you behind or your knees, whatever, and let's go--let's turn our country around!

Answer 3

Yes. Not only in politics.
I have seen many posts from people who condemn the Jews. Why???
This amuses me. I am a christian, and I have worked a combined 25 years for two companies which were controlled by Jewish families. Both co's treated me rather well, and didn't care what religion I was. All they cared about was that I did my job.Yet, according to some, I should hate them? Why?

Answer 4

We should show more respect. But why have I been called a traitor and said to be aiding the terrorists because I disagree with the way Bush is handling the war?

Answer 5

sorry but they are responsible for us being in the war

I wont say what party I am for, but I would equally not like them if they were democrats, independents or whatever

Answer 6

Yes. Ladies should offer food to husbands with respect, may not be more respect.

Answer 7

let me think ahahah ....no respect is earned not deserved sorry...
