Again, people try to put me into a pigeon hole. To clear some things up, that post was directed, specifically, at beerbelly. I've never put anyone on ignore, because I enjoy differing opinions, but there are two people that frequent this board who are close because I've never seen a well thought out statement or one that was anything but dribbled hate for what ever subject we're on. *hint: IG and Tommyt ain't them* I don't think asking people to do a bit of research on their own and refrain from following the rest of the lemmings is terrible. The fact is that sometimes the herd is running to the only water in 50 miles, and sometimes it's being led off a cliff. On any given subject, set emotion aside, take a step back an look at the facts and come to your own decision.
As far as some of you trying to make me out to be some kind of liberal radical, I'll go over a couple of my key beliefs. Abortion is murder, gun control is begging for a dictator, drugs should be legal, capital punishment is not used enough, universal helthcare is a universal failure, welfare and unemployment should have strict time limits, student led prayer is great, teacher led promotion of homosexuality is terrible, gay marriage is not the governments responsibility, I don't think all Muslims are bad, and don't think all Jews are good, blah blah blah.
I don't really have a party, closest one I've found is the Libertarian. I've never voted for a Democrat, and always wish I could vote for something other than the Republican.
If you took offense to my statement before, I'm apologize. Unless you don't think for yourself. Then I'm don't.
