family divided by red and blue

What can I say a family divided by red and blue, It's hard to believe that a family let alone a country who is red, white, blue could be so divided. I can't speak to my mom or brother on politics it end in a fight usally them trying to impose their position on me. They can't even site one issue., All they can do is call me a rightwing fanatic. Maybe I don't like everything that President Bush has done but we all make bad calls sometimes. I get tiered of the belly acheing going on over our boys. Hey they singed up for service for a free education. That is a chance we all take. Maybe they should check the motives for singing up. Do you want to defend our freedom or get a ruduced ride? My Family is even using scare tatics like your son is going to be drafted. Well My Son would be proud to serve his country. And I would be worried about him but proud just the same. If people would understand the big picture then we would know why we are at war. My God they attacked us. Do we forget thoose killed merley for going to work. Do you forget so quickly how devestating it was. I didn't sleep for 9 months at night. Waiting to see what would happen next. Being attacked in our country was an unthinkable when I was a kid. Do not be fooled the enemy wants you and me dead. They do not fight fair. They attack civilains all the time. They have murder on their minds.
I would much rather be fighting over there then here. For thoose of you who disagree with the war let me ask you this If they were over here (and they are) would you whine about our boys defending us? No you would not you might even fight yourself. Everyone of our boys (and girls) are heros. They are giving us our freedom to believe how we believe to say what we want and to live the life that we desire. And you worry so much about a life lost but we murder 1000 and 1000 of children with abortion. Yes it is murder. Look at the cases where a lady was killed has lost her baby in a act of violance you are then charged with murder not just of her but of the unborn child. Now we can't have it both ways, can we. And all this trying to remove God from everything. Christians a being prersecuted right here everyday. We lose our freedom to speak or believe. the constitution was ment to avoid making a country all one religion not banishing God from everything (wich will never happen). So I may seem like a rightwing fanatic but I just have some Morals. Do not kill Children, Let Freedom Ring and protect my rights to bare arms and to worship the God I believe in. Keep marriage between a man and a woman. I don't have anything against people of an alternitive life style I don't think it is right but then again smoking isn't either. I just think marriage is between a man and a woman.

First of all . . . we don't have any "boys" in the service. We have men and women.

Second of all, they serve for many different reasons, and do so proudly. It's not all about "free education" or a "reduced ride" (whatever that means). I don't think it's too much to ask that they not be put in harm's way unnecessarily.

My God they attacked us.


There may be valid and even good reasons for us to be in Iraq, but Iraq did not attack us. We were attacked by Al-Qaeda.

whine about our boys defending us?


There are no boys. There are Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen. Men and women.

I'll leave you to your opinions about abortion, gay marriage, separation of church and state, and gun control. There's far too much at play here for me to even attempt to comment on it.

Welcome to JU!

Your right they did not attack us. Answer a question for me? Do you honestly think that they wouldn't attack us if the chance were given?
