    Again I would like to say THANKS TO THE TROOPS !!!!!!!!!!! I would also like to say if you have not lived a Military life by sending a loved one to Iraq you have no idea what life is like. No Matter what job we have there is always a change you could not make it home. I fear when I send my Hubby over to Iraq because of not knowing if we will ever see him again. But its his JOB and no matter how we feel about it he is proud to be serving or he would of never got in....Why do people sign the papers to get it knowing there could be a WAR ??
    Lets think about that.....My Husband got in to Keep America SAFE not for the money thats for sure cause we dont make the greatest money in the army....My husband has been in 18 yrs and I am telling you right now GOD knows when you will DIE...Your Daughter or Son or Husband or whoever you know could DIE working at Taco Bell not just the military. People think thats the only way a person will die well your wrong.
    Your kids might not come home from school today have you ever thought about that ??????
    Its called morals and if you sign a app to work at Taco Bell you will go to work everyday and Make Tacos and do your job to make customers happy....Well if you sign the papers to become a solider then you need to understand you need to protect america and make us all proud of you no matter what. And that you are doing the right thing to keep us FREE !!!!!!!!!!!! My kids understand life and there young people DIE every day no matter what they do for a living grow up people and look at life....You can not protect yourself we need strong men and woman over seas to keep america safe and to keep our kids safe as well. John McCain is a Christian man and he was in the Military and knows how life is...Obama dont care about our TROOPS !!!!!!
    The Military would not let his camera crew in the tents over there and he did not want to go in because his crew could not go in with him....LAME !!!!!!!! Since 9-11 when we got our TROOPS over seas we have not been hit by anythin so yeah your right lets bring our TROOOOOOOOOPS HOME you people are stupid so what we can ge hit again and loose children, Husbands,Wives,Grandparents like we did when they hit us..Think about that before you VOTE TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am proud for all the people who have been to IRAQ either have not made it home or made it home but will be going back over there again to protect AMERICA. If a solider has a problem with being in IRAQ THEN WHY DID YOU SIGN THE PAPERS ?????????????
    Thats a big question that people need to look at also.....They knew what they was gettin into when they started all the papers....SO LETS KEEP THE TROOPS THERE AND GOD BLESS THEM BEING OVER THERE AND I DONT WANT THEM TO DIE BUT IF IT HAPPENS THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE OVER THERE FOR US HERE IN THE USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IF YOUR A CHRISTIAN I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN HERE THERE OR IN THE AIR

    You focus your fear of death into a bundle and call it "terrorism." Perhaps you should confront your fear of death and deal with it - the fact is, you will die, nothing lasts forever, and you will die.

    Yeah, you guys crack me up! Yall are all sitting down in a round room, arguing over whom is in the right corner. Ill wait

    A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote FOR evil.

    The media will present this presidential race, on average, as a tie so that we can accept the courts ruling on the outcome.

    Sit tight until after the elections. Sure, go ahead and vote for someone. Then go home afterwards and gloat over your patriotism, and then wake up tomorrow in the same place you went to sleep.

    The power shift will only be cosmetic, as the Feds and company continue to drop financial bombs on our soil.

    Conservatism at all times is the correct stance, yet global warming as a commodity = global carbon credits = global taxes = in order to fund the global government.

    World corporations economies now dwarf most governments, and now the common civilian is positioned to fight the Bank (and their enforcers; be it public or private).

    So go ahead, ya'll quibble over Longshanks table scraps, divided = controllable. And gasp for air in your escapist behaviors.

    Our economic system is not hard to understand, just hard to believe... because the average person cannot invent money out of thin air, and therefore cannot overpower those who can.

    On the bright side, it's truly awesome to live in America. No really! Being in the flagship means we can outlast the others.

    Remember, the better quality of life (not to be confused with standard of living), is the final consideration when you decide what to do.

    Terrorism - acts which are intended to create fear, are perpetrated for an ideological goal, and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants, include acts of unlawful violence and war. Sounds more and more like our government then any (enter group name here) that I have ever heard of.

    What is the journalistic merit of labeling and introducing Sam Harris as an "atheist" and "provocateur". He wrote and excellent article and you have attempted to marginalize it with you bold introduction. I expect more of Newsweek. Britton Crosley, Bainbridge Island.
