Alright, I know i'm just a provider on this site and my thoughts aren't what people are interested in. LOL. However, i have to throw some college girl in put on this topic primarily out of sheer boredom and contempt for misrepresented ideas.
First off i will say that I am a true blue believer of this country, and think its still the best representation of freedom in the world. A bright shining beacon of hope in a despondent and relatively dismal world. (If anyone disagrees please write to the U.N. and tell them to stop making the United states of America enforce all of the United Nations sanctions on other countries

Now I will say i'm a Perry supporter for a plethora of reasons but most of all because i need a candidate that is going to be a politician. (Politician being the lesser of two evils in this case LOL) I do not want a celebrity wannabe in office any longer. I have no use for a man who talks about popular music and goes on David Letterman to appeal to a younger base. I'm not too keen on the way politicians act in any regard, but it is my belief a "hip" politician is more dangerous then a stick in the mud.
As far as being a "George Bush Clone"......I guess if all you need for that comment is that they are both from Texas, you are right. LOL The Perry camp and Bush Administration were not close buddies

It does have a good ring to it if we are only trying to sum up political issues with one or two word phrases such as "thin skinned". I'm still hoping that most Americans don't give too much credence to popular media personalities.
As far as using a Gandhi quote to villianize Christians is a tad naive. Let me explain: Gandhi was possibly the worlds most famous pacifist even though he encouraged other Indians to support and serve the British military in the Zulu war of 1906 in a attempt for them to secure citizenship. In other words supporting war when it works for you, supporting peace when it works for you. Hey, he was only human and i dig some of his cultural ideas, but he was not above hypocrisy. No religion is completely tolerant 100% of the time but its been my understanding that that is on part of the man following the religion as we are all not as tolerant as we would wish a lot of times. In short...Don't blame a religious orientation blame the man whose values have been compromised. I see very very little difference between the religious right and the agnostic/atheist left. Same level of discrimination on different topics and using different buzz words.
OK so i made my little rant. Again this is just my opinion so don't attack or beat me up over this. Just wanted to throw some info out there for the reading. America's fundamental future depends on us being able to discuss ideas in a calm rational manner. Thanks all and have a great week. Be safe and take care.
P.S. God Bless Our Troops!!!!!!!!!!!!
