Case in point - Korean War and Vietnam Conflict .... how many of our troops died or were changed forever by those engagements?

First, who determines that one life is more important than another? After all, the

[quote]but I stand by statements that Reagan wasn't as influential in the fall of Eastern European communism as he is credited with.Then you to get back to the books and study some real history...From this and other comments you've made, it sounds like you've been duped with the revisionist crap that's being taught in high schools and colleges nowadays.

[quote]Your statement has me shaking my head in wonderment....do you know anything about atheistic Communism? Have the crimes of Communism vanished from modern memory? Afterall, it was one of the most bloody ideologies in all of human history...and, lest we forget, it's an evil that still exists in Cuba, China, Laos, Vietnam and North Korea. These countries are in a hellish, despotic state. Something tells me you would not like living there. Communism is an extreme an

[quote]Mine, too.Well that's sad SC. I feel bad for you. But you weren't even conceived when Ronald Reagan took office. It's been pretty much downhill from there...although I think Bush hasn't really been all that bad...at least not nearly as bad as the Dems say he is..... but let's not go there....

IMHO, any candidate that flaunts his religious background automatically turns me off. I plan on voting for McCain because I basically believe in him, but if he chooses Huckabee or Romney as a running mate, I may move to Canada .....

Wow, so many things that bother me from the original post and the next couple of followups by the original poster, I couldn't bear to read more or else my head would explode: - The Presidency is not a Civil Rights post?
