...We constantly present the false impression that government can solve problems that government in America was designed not to solve. Families are significantly less important in the development of children today than they were 30 or 40 years ago. Religion has less influence than it did 30 or 40 years ago. Communities don't mean what they meant 30 or 40 years ago.
As Americans, we're not sure we share values. We're sometimes even afraid to use the word values. We talk about teaching ethics in schools -- people say, "What ethics? Whose ethics? Maybe we can't." And they confuse that with teaching of religion. And we are afraid to reaffirm the basics upon which a lawful and a decent society are based. We're almost embarrassed by it.
.... What we don't see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.
... The fact is that we're fooling people if we suggest to them the solutions to these very, very deep-seated problems are going to be found in government.
... They are going to have to be just as solid and just as strong in teaching every single youngster their responsibility for citizenship. We're going to find the answer when schools once again train citizens. Schools exist in America and have always existed to train responsible citizens of the United States of America.
If they don't do that, it's very hard to hold us together as a country, because it's shared values that hold us together.

When I click on your name it reads - This account has been banned or suspended.
Anybody else get this too?
If your point was that our Liberties can be in danger by any political party, including the one we currently support, then yes I guess I did.
But what I was attempting to point out is the fact that the Islamofascists, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Rudy Guiliani, Mitt Romney and John Mcain are (in my opinion), as big a threat to our Constitution as any of the others in the list.
It doesn't matter to me if the War on Terror is any of their collective strong or weak point. The Islamofascists win if America loses it's Republican Form of government.
That to these eyes, does not look like a good plan.
So you can ban people?
Ban me.
Show me your power airborne.
Do you run this forum?
Click on 'beansox' screen name and see if she is banned.
Then get back tome.
"gotta love that 'big tent'."
LMAOROTF!!!!
I would never ban you!
You're more entertaining than all the trolls in New York City!
It's call distraction, airborne. If they can piss and moan enough and keep us trying to make sense of their dishonesty, we won't get anything accomplished for our candidate.
Stupid, they are not. It would be nice if one of them would just once in a while offer a bit of information, fact, anything but their victim status attitude and insults.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I love it!
I think a thick, female, Russian accent would be perfect!
LOL!!
The poster was suspended briefly over personal insults. When the time expired, they returned with yet another personal insult: "do you think you can control yourself and your little urges??"
Cookie, anyone?
Say it with a thick Russian female accent!
Repeat after me - "Show me your power, Airborne!"
Oh, yeah!!!

The poster, beansox, was harrassed and put up one hell of a fight.
My hat is off to beansox.
The rest of you can carry on your high fives and laughs for all that will get you in the long run.

"Fool" is the operative word there... ;)

These are the first postings by beansox on this thread. BTW, she started this all on her own without being addressed first:

and on and on until her "hell of a fight" included "STFU. Your an idiot" to fierece allegience.
Is that the kind of "debate and comment" you were yearning for earlier?
BTW, after she was banned and reinstated, she further violated the conduct code by attacking fierce allegience on her profile page by falsely calling him a racist.
So your hat is off to beansox. I guess that means you approve of her "debate and comment" tactics.
Pesky tagline...
Show me your power, Airborne!
A lot worse has been posted to me over the years and I never asked for a poster to be banned.
