Aunty, Well my attempt to have decent conversation with you on the subject was certainly detoured by no other then his hindass! Sorry it went that way.

I was serious when I said I wish I could have the same sentiments as you on the subject. I have the utmost respect for people in the service. I was a Navy brat and grew up in a military household. I want to support the decisions of the commanders and our commander in chief but I have a really hard time when I fundamentally disagree.

I know that labels me as lib in the mind of some here on the board. If it were true I wouldn't mind the label as I don't think there is anything wrong with being a "lib". We have all benefited one way or another from liberal ideas whether we choose to admit it or not.

It is sad when adults (I assume most here are adults though I have my doubts) are incapable of accepting or tolerating others views. It is that incapability in our country that is further driving a wedge in America. The lame part is for those of us in the middle we feel forced to choose sides. I don't know how many others out there felt they did not have a choice between candidates that represented their values and beliefs. I know I felt short changed at the ballot box. Hopefully we can introduce a few more parties to our political process to get better representation for those in the middle.
