Gentlemen,

I seriously wonder how close we are to a dictatorship powers in our country? I doubt it is far off when some nut we elect decides to coup our government and assumes full power for himself/herself. Once I see that day I am leaving the country.

Your right, I often wonder why an American president would go to such extreme measures to get the point across... My God, for real ,it's not like anybody want's us dead, everyone loves a good Christian; don't they ?
Is there really a problem with the state (country) of Isreal being located in Jeruselem ? No that can't be it......Let's take a good look at how things are going......Europe has absolutly no problems with Muslim extremist. (By the way have you noticed how little attention the US media gives to this issue?).(They don't want you to know that there are major problems with Muslims all throughout Eourpe).. Maybe their soft sell, gentle approach, they'll be just like us..has failed). Wake UP......

The last thing this country needs is a politician; I'll go with the cowboy (sorry, Dictator)......... You'll have your politician soon....Good Luck..

I forgot one thing; we have the ACE..ISREAL... When things just don't seem right, even with consideration to the media bull... They will even tell us "step aside, we'll handle it" Because we might just lack the intestinal fortitude to do what must be done. Thank God for that little country that the entire middle east wants destroyed (dead, gone, murdered; hell , Isreal doesn't even exist in their text books as a country). No, they can't be serious ?

ARE YOU ?

Unless you have lived and worked in this madness for your entire adult life, you would have no idea what is going on. All I can say is don't believe what you see on the news, and read in the papers. If you REALLY knew, you wouldn't sleep at night folks. Be careful of what you wish for.... We have come closer than you think to the edge.....

Some may think me full of hot air on most subjects.... but those that know me will tell you that if I tell you to be afraid... then you had better sit up and listen.... and I'd be listening right now...if I were you...

Its almost too late to change things back to the america i fought for 35 years ago, the government is firmly in the grip of the corporations, ..there is no difference in dems or repubs...they are both loyal to corporations over the interests of americans, and they play the people like violins over petty issues which dont matter, while the big issues go unnoticed.

One of the more interesting concepts. Let's tie expenditures on war, to money spent on peaceful pursuits and diplomacy. One of the sad things to happen over the last several administrations is a total lack of understanding of what diplomacy is all about. I do not thing any administration since Nixon has had a firm grip on that. We too often reach for the big stick when a stiff scolding would do. We will never be able to leave a safe world to our children if all we know how to do is fuel conflict. If we had spent even a tenth on diplomacy over the past 50 years that we have on destruction, just think of where we could be today.

Our debt service on past military expenditures put on the credit card to keep USD afloat wouldn't be hogging tax revenue we could sure use at home.
