    It'll be a cold day in hell before I let this fascist regime turn my kids into cannon fodder.

    Wake up people! Do you really want your American children dying in the sand for the sake of Israel, Oil and Empire?
     
  5. well said.

    I'm a Libertarian. I have an equally dim view of Democrats and Republicans. I think one of the worst things in the US is the absolute control of the political process by these two parties.

    If all of the energy that is wasted on partisanship was directed toward actually fixing the problems in the US, this would be a lot better country.

    I think there are a lot of people like me in America. People who just want to be left alone. People who accept personal responsibility for their own lives and actions. People who want to be free from other people's religion. People who are socially liberal and fiscally conservative. People who don't care what their neighbor is doing down the street as long as they aren't hurting anyone else. People who believe in truth over propaganda. People who believe that the government works for them and not the other way around.
     
  9. Yes, there are many of us. However most lack the integrity to just vote Libertarian, instead of picking the lesser of two evils.
