I took that into account, which is why my list is not a lot longer. Many or most issues should be left up to the states, such as abortion and whether gay marriage should be allowed. However, the definition of marriage itself is a different story. Obviously, there were no gay marriages back in the days of the Founding Fathers, and everyone understood what marriage meant, but today's world is a bit different. Marriage between one man and one woman (hopefully permanent...) is the foundation of a good community, and there are plenty of statistics showing that no other arrangement is even a fraction as effective at raising kids (even a permanent live-in boyfriend doesn't have the same effect as a husband), so even aside from the moral questions, that is the only type of marriage that should be officially defined as marriage. If states want to set up a whole new category and call it gay marriage, that's fine, but it should be understood that it's totally separate from the main marriage category. Gay marriages would only apply inside states that support them, they wouldn't carry over to other states.

At least that's my view on the matter. The Constitution does not specifically outlaw gay marriage, and you shouldn't try to make it illlegal on the federal level (just like abortion shouldn't be legal on the federal level), but you can make an official definition of marriage and have gay marriage apply only in states that voted it in. This prevents confusion over what to do when a gay "married" couple is traveling through an area that has democratically voted gay sex illegal.

Women should also not be able to sue sperm donors for child support. I've heard of this happening, and it's totally ridiculous. Lesbian couple decides to have a baby, but neither wants to pay for it, so one sues the sperm donor for child support. That loophole needs closing.

I think you should have a different post for women in the military . I am a woman and I could not ever be a soldier but have GREAT respect for those who do but if you want to fight like a man be prepared to be on the front lines and die like a man.



What do you think about Mike Huckabee?

No, we conservative Christians think that it is the right thing to force people to accept our rotten so called "Democracy." Yeah, we tell them they need a constitution but we treat ours as "Just a --- ---- peace of paper," to quote President Bush. The truth is USA went there for oil while we thought we were defending our country. There are plenty of other countries that actually have nuclear weapons but we did not go after them. Can you actually spread the message of freedom with the barrel of a gun? Think back on history, England tried to spread Royalty all over the world or were they just in it for the money? Whatever the reason, they failed.

We as "Christians" have rejected the just war theory and said it is alright to attack preemptively. We are perfectly willing to use nuclear weapons on a small state much like Poland falsely accusing them of having the very weapons we are using against them. Think America think. There crime is not that they have weapons of mas destruction is it? Thus we are condemned and they are innocent they had no weapons.

I will tell you that Mike is my second choice but I think a large portion of Americans especially the more liberal are sick of the "Christian" President we have and see Mike as far too Christian. How is he going to display to them that he is any different? If Christians can't even see the difference how can they? How can he show that he is not a warmonger, or is he?

Read this to understand where a large portion of the US is coming from. I do not necessarily think you will see this author as reliable but do not complain later that no one warned you. I have witnessed all of the ten things on the list, I have researched it and in varying degrees all of them are true. I can get the facts together. Many Americans believe this stuff deep down but keep it deep down inside and do not share it with anyone for fear of being branded ------- fill in the blank. http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2064157,00.html

I would appreciate anyone proving the facts in this article as false. Keeping in mind that the article is from April.

You must see the lady speak.

Are you afraid of the truth? Is this to unbelievable to be true? Just do not say no one told you. You have a moral obligation to act.

America Needs A Leader Like This!

Prime Minister John Howard - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia and her Queen at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his Ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown. Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state, and its laws were made by parliament. 'If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you', he said on National Television

'I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia : one the Australian law and another Islamic law that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option', Costello said.

Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country. Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should 'clear off. Basically people who don't want to be Australians, and who don't want, to live by Australian values and understand them, well then, they can basically clear off', he said.
Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'

'However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the 'politically correct' crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia .' 'However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand.' 'This idea of Australia being a multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. And as Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle.'
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society Learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like 'A Fair Go', then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. By all means, keep your culture, but do not force it on others.

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,

'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
