I don't think that churches should be sanctuarys. It irritates me that terrorists now use mosques to conceal their weapons and operational plans from investigators.

If we don't like the fact that Big Brother is getting so big all we have to do is get off our lazy asses, unite into a determined group with one cause and replace *him* while we still have the possibilities of doing so.

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it." - Mark Twain

This nonsense of reelecting RINO's into congressional and senatorial seats is idiotic and lamebrained. The idea of Party support is equally so. How can anyone expect to accomplish a goal with divided allegiance? It is obvious or should be that our two parties are actually one party striving for a New World Order under UN leadership. If they ever figure out how to disarm the people then accomplishment of a NWO will be a forgone conclusion.

>I’m in favor of upsizing the responsibilities of private charities.<

You mean something like many *United Way* charities ..... where executives are paid outrageous salaries and the goals are determined by NGO's who benefit from the citizens contributions.

Corruption has eaten its way into every organization where large cash deposits are exist. That is a fact of life today. Morals have sank beneath the surface of reasonable acceptability. The Christian religion upon which this nation was founded is being shunned by the public schools and agencies.

Perverted sex behavior is being taught to our children with government approval and only a tiny outcry is heard from concerned parents.

I, personally don't see much hope for our culture or our way of life in the upcoming generations.

When lawmakers and law enforcers refuse to adhere to and support the laws of a country, said country’s very existence will not long be an issue. Instead, it will fail and fall into the dusty pages of history as a ‘once-was’ entry.

I'm not sure I agree with this saying but these days, it does appear correct -- “in a democracy, the people get the government they deserve.” We have the ability to make changes, yet we don't.

Are we cowards, afraid to stand up and be counted as rebels.

No, I mean giving the small neighborhood church a bigger say in things and more authority. Churches are charities too. But even the big corporate charities are better than a federalized system.
