You are not a Republican.

Republicans believe in the principles that made this country great, like:

Very nice job, young Mr. Ortel. I liked your water metaphor especially.

I didn't find out until I was about 22 or so, that paragraphs were good, or important. Now, you'll be like 6 years ahead of the curve!

Ignore the thread paragraph police. Once you first start posting it happens to almost everyone.

Thanks for the ping, cyborg.

Looks good, however "separation of church and state" is still a myth.

Already pinged wc to this thread but it's the best reason I know to be Republican.

My family has been Republican since Lincoln. But the why was summed up best for me years ago when, during a relatively intellectual political discussion, a friend stopped, pondered and said with feeling, "You know what? I HATE democrats!"

Don't pay any attention to all the English teachers on here you are doing great for 16. When I was 16 all I did was chase chicks. You have it all together and have a brilliant future ahead of you.

Are you a Rep if you ae too young to vote? I am really old enought to vote Rep and I do, but I am not a Rep. If I voted Dem, I'd feel like a traitor, unAmerican and a Communist with Fascist tendencies. Personally, I'd hope my left arm would fall of if I pulled a Dem vote lever.

Good for you, wcgo2. When I was 16, I was clueless when it came to politics.

it’s the party that I choose because I dream of temporary peace, and have given up hoping for a utopia The problem with the whole idea of "utopia" is that it looks good on paper, but isn't compatible with human nature. It won't be possible until we, (the ENTIRE world) as a civilization becomes a lot more 'evolved' than we currently are now.

I completely agree, wc. Everyone here's an expert until they suffer the indignation having their writing critiqued at every corner. It gives you a unique persepctive.

All in all. A good job.
