They were stupid enough to vote for him, they are dumber then a pile of rocks to back him. Why would you expect anything else but to call us anti-American. They have a limited mental capacity.

The biggest mistake made by the founding fathers was to give so much advantage to religion. Any group that has an unfair advantage over other groups will abuse it eventually. Bible Nazis now think it is a violation of their rights if they are denied the opportunity to use the coercive power of the state to shove their god down every ones  throat and are planning to turn the country into a theocratic dictatorship the first chance they get.

What a sad thing. I will certainly pray for them. Oh Sacred Heart of my Dear Jesus, who did agree to suffer most horribly and die for our sins, please look upon this situation with a poor man who was driven to desperation from pain you yourself know all about and apply that one great cry of "Father they know not what they do" to this poor man and his family. Comfort them and bring them the grace they need to be compliant with your Holy will in this and in all things. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Too advanced for them to read. Does it come as a book on tape? Maybe then.. But I don't think Neocons read.  They just chew on the books when they are done chewing on the last peice of future that is left for the children of this country.

OH, Good Lord!! You all need to get a grip!! You keep talking about the PAST like it can be changed and like wars are or were EVER "fair". YES the Native Americans were treated unfairly, ok? YES we fought the British, ok? So what? That was history. WE BEAT Mexico!!  OKAY!! We never STOLE a d^ ^^n thing from Mexico!!  IT's HISTORY! PAST!Done! Kaput!! Stop living in the PAST! This is HERE, NOW, 21st CENTURY, 2006! OK? WE, the USA, NOW have laws AGAINST ILLEGAL ENTRY!  We HAVE fought to make this country what it is today, for our rights, for our freedoms, for our LAWS. Without those LAWS enforced we'd still be like the "Wild, wild, west", no lawmen for hundreds of miles and then occasionally a Marshall, or small town Sheriff. Men in my family fought many wars to make this country what it is today. Our Native Americans fought and died for this country. Our Native tongue was used as secret communications in WW II. We contributed to making this country what it is TODAY. If our men, all those who fought and those who died, had not done so, who would be clamoring to get in here? Not many. You say we are Nazi? WHAT? We fought the Nazi's!!  We Have rights, freedom, we can make our own choices, we vote, we don't commit genocide, we are not racist! We have laws that all are to abide by, LOVE it or LEAVE it, that's ONE of the CHOICES we ALL have!! Unless of course you're ILLEGAL, then you shouldn't HAVE a CHOICE because you are not a LEGAL CITIZEN.\n\nIllegal invaders don't have the guts, the pride, the values, the nobility or bravery to do what our forefathers and our young men today do. There may be some Illegal immigrants in Iraq, fighting right alongside our boys, and THEY are the exception. These criminals coming across our border sucking up welfare, increasing crime, closing hospitals, bringing in diseases, living off our hard earned dollar and getting freedoms and 'rights' they didn't earn is an outrage. They should go back home before the red-hot tempers turn to white-hot rage!!\n\nOur government turn a blind eye to their illegal entry, but they KNEW it was against the law!! They came anyway, they are responsible for their OWN actions!! Ignorance of the law is NO EXCUSE!!\n\nSweet Lou--You asked what I have done to ensure our freedoms are not abused. Well, I vote, I write and e-mail my senators and congressmen, I go to town meetings in my community, as much as most people do. The male members of my family have fought in all the wars in the USA from the Revolutionary War to Iraq. I don't need to explain a da** thing to YOU. It wouldn't matter if all I did was cast my vote at elections, I am an American and I don't feel like illegal people should come here and take what MY family and OTHERS have FOUGHT and DIED for!  And I will voice my opinion like anyone does. It's one of those rights my family and others FOUGHT and DIED for!\nWhat have YOU done to assure our freedoms are not abused. You shouldn't let that alligator mouth of yours overload that pea-brain.

First of all, it does not say that these were chldren, just the kings sons.  Perhaps some were children.   You have to understand about bloodline to get this-  God's people were under opression-  God gave them the means to be free from that oppression, sometimes war and death is necessary.  History just repeats itself with the descendants of the oppressor taking up the throne and makingthings worse.  This is a picture of sin in the physical-  if every remnant of that sin is not wiped out, it will just come back and take over again-  God commanded that the entire bloodline of those that refused to submit to His authority or at the very least respect His people and let them live in peace be wiped out or it would come back to haunt them.  \nI will not even go into the explanation of understanding Hebrew words and concepts to explain "thou shalt not kill"  I am sure you have heard it and if you continue to reject it because it does not fit in with your ideals , it does not make it any less true.   Either way , what is true is that either by the laying down of all arrogance or because you have no other choice- every knee will bow and every tongue will confess - there will be no room for, and no way to deny the majesty of God!\nThere is no contradiction,  His ways and thoughts are not my ways and thoughts-  I was not there at the foundations of the earth and I had no part in hanging one star in the heavens and neither did you.

Thinking like that is the reason we are losing, you have to understand your enemy.  It is also the reason why we could never win the war.  They think their death gets them into Heaven so they are glad to die, we would have to kill EVERY Muslin in the world for us to win.  Their actions you claim are crazy are going to be what wins them the war.  Their children and grand children can quote what happened during each Crusade can you name us anything about the Civil War? As to your questions as for what do you remember 9/11??  Because there is a war going on and they know that through sacrifice they will win and again our youth are too busy on MTV exactly why they do not want Western influences.  Too bad!   God Bless The Southern People.

Because that day belongs to the Fathers!!! duh

I understand your grandparents viewpoint. Because they knew the reality of the wars and had no patience for people who weren't even there and their trite pithy statements. They were also raw from the experience so they reacted violently to these statements.

It makes me sick inside when I think of that subject. I actually had a very charismatic History Teacher, he informed us when our books were trying to brainwash us. What is truly sad is that white people didn't stop with the Indians. They oppressed many cultures. Don't worry though. Our time here on earth isn't judged in groups. We all face that alone.

The founding fathers were anarchists for their day....I guess. They were bucking the system in England. But now days....They get a bad rap because they are the voice of revolution and change! God bless em......we need more of them! Change is the only thing that is going to save our country!!!!!!!!!

They want to deny our history and make it their own to better brainwash the youth of America, such as myself. After all, evolution, not creation, is their worldview. They even tried to brainwash me in 9th grade.\nThey failed.

People will justify their answers but you are exactly right.  This is why on the 4th of July I have a hard time getting into "love of country"...genocide, slavery, suppression of human rights, exploitation of minors and women...these days were are killing people and destabilizing the middle east in order to force our form of govt on them...basically the winners write the history...it has always been this way...right now lots of children, grandchildren, great grand children of immigrants are slamming the newest wave of immigrants...this isn't new...immigrants have always been reviled...I remember reading historical documents about the anti-Irish, German, Italian, Japanese movements...there are real issues regarding immigration - health, housing, education...but these people would not be here if they weren't working...so they have a place...now the challenge is to see if we can solve these problems without the fear and hate spread by the hysterical chicken little alarmists.  Unfortunately, people often are ruled by emotions and fears than by rational thoughts when dealing with these issues...of course, emotions and fear sell papers, get ratings, and consolidate political power...and rational discourse is very boring to much of the US public.
