The only one that I've slowly come to terms with after reading about him, his interviews, etc. is Nixon. He was certainly brilliant, but seriously had issues; none-the-less, I've come to find a sense of humanity in him, so to speak. It's hard to explain. [quote]Well, one could argue this topic.

[quote]well not according to some. The founding fathers are usually the ones referred to as those who wrote, debated and signed the Constitution. There were 55 men involved. Jefferson was not one of them. Show me where Jefferson had ANYTHING to do with the writing of the Constitution. Don't give me some modern day opinion. We've got gads of historical information. I can't find anything that has Jefferson contributing at all. He was in Europe and even if he did correspond..

[quote]O Reilly often has positive words for the president (as recently as last night in fact), you just don't hear them in the liberal media. It sounds like you nailed the problem, unfortunately your own bias is part of it as well. Not your fault, everyone has them, first step is admitting it. Referring to one as a "party goat" or any other self-righteous indignation will solve nothing, especially since nobody here has an intimate knowledge of any other members philosophy, political or other

[quote]I'll save you the trouble. He mentioned it in a letter.....yes just a letter to a member of the Danbury Baptist Church. Pretty interesting that the seculars have to go past the 55 men who are considered the Founding Fathers (those involved in the constitution) and take what Jefferson said in a letter to change the landscape of our country these last 50 or so years. A lot has happened in 50 years around here because of that one eight worded sentence.....in a letter....mind you[/quote

Here is an idea KFC. Since I've stated that I am interested in and will pursue information on, attending Liberty University - how about you do the same for the most liberal college in the United States. Go and attend classes for an entire semester, and then come back and tell me - now truly with experience and authority - that classes are biased, and dissent is muffled. Or, if travel is a concern, <a href="http://encarta.msn.com/college_article_LiberalColleges/T

[quote who="Paladin77" reply="12" id="2171371"]The "one true" is the most specific you can get. The statement is either NOT specific to a religion or it is. But it cannot be NOT specific but refer to a "one true" anything. "One true" IS specific. Okay, if you wish ot pick and choose parts of my statement that is fine. In monotheistic religions there is one true god and all the rest are fakes. For those that believe in many gods the believers usually pick on sometimes two of them as

Liberty preaches adherence to the bible. Their mission statement would center around scripture. It just so happens that these beliefs run counter to the culture right now and is being politicized. For instance, abortion and homosexuality both are moral issues. So are you

[quote]So just how do you propose scrutiny of the current administration without hurting someones feelings? Or are you suggesting there can be no criticism of the administration regardless and we should all just accept what ever happens? There was plenty of criticism of Bush policies during his term here, and rightly so. If Obama and congress are to be left off the hook, who should we hold responsible? We can blame America as seems to be currently in fashion with the majority, but that's a li

[quote]God is a generic title not the name of any one god or religion. For years the secularists have been trying to equate God with Christianity in order to have it removed from government. In God we trust is the nation submitting or acknowledging that there is a god and we as a nation trust in that God. Your god may be money, or a tree or the god of water or what have you. The nation is allowing for you to choose and submit to your beliefs without showing favor to any one religion or belief

The Congressmen and Senators (if they are included as well) would not have enough time to form special connections with certain companies or lobbyist so the concept of things being done, not for the people but for special interest kinda shrinks. It allows others who might actually wanna do a good job get a chance at doing something for their country.

Term limits would be nice, but who is to say that the crooks won't get replaced by similar or worse crooks? The problem isn't the congress per se, it's the people in congress. It's like any system of government, there is room for corruption and incompetancy - no matter who is in it. Personally, I was thinking of one of those big red EJECT buttons.
