Democrat or Republican?

Abortion is a violation of the sanctity of individual rights; the right to life. It is the destruction of pure, innocent life; the ultimate sin against The Creator. It is the continuation of a slave mentality which speaks to some lives being expendable over the lives of others based upon convenience/inconvenience. It is akin to cannabalism.

The poor, as Christ said, will always be with us. And yes, we are our brother's keepers, but does that mean that our brother's of lesser means should be taken care of through forced charity, where the rights of others are violated at the point of government's gun if necessary? Forced charity is NOT charity, it is theft, pure and simple. All charity should be voluntary and from the heart, not based upon fear and cohersion. Government is force ... and nothing more.

Necessary force. No country or civilization that I know of ever thrived without any kind of government or organizing.

The two party system is an illusion that you have a choice.

Government and organizing is one thing ... but attempting to limit government force is another ... and that is exactly what the Constitution is intended to do.

government, is pure force.Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
our founders understood that and attempted to separate the government as much as possible. I have no problem w/ a welfare program(or health care,education,ect)but it should be controlled on a state level. the feds don't belong in it.imagine if we had 20-30 different programs running & each state could pick what it wanted? the best systems would be picked up by other states until we got to a few systems that work. if a state like NewYork wanted to give cars to the poor,$500 week, full health care for all,free college educations,ect. it could. at least until the poor started flocking in and the wealthy got tired of being taxed insanely and left.

Independent....

Historically - fiscally the dems spend more, and Obama with the help of his Dem posse' has spent more in his first year, and any president since WWII.

Socially I don't see much difference. The Dems would like you to believe the republicans want to make Christianity the national religion, and criminalize abortion, but none of that happened when the republicans recently had control of all 3 branches of government.

Obama has done nothing different than Bush did. Where's the change?
