What would you call my political position? I prefer to label myself as a Republican. I beleive in abortion for rape cases but nothing else. I beleive in STRONG local govt but little state govt and almost no federal govt. I gladly pay taxes when I can see them put to use but hate the social welfare programs that run for a lifetime. I am a strong believer in personal rights and freedoms. I voted for Bill Clinton but I also voted for George Bush. How would you label me?

Re: Label me

Personally I would prefer NOT to label you at all. I've expereinced a lot of grief and BS here at iboats around people constantly wanting to hang a political label on me. Makes it too easy to turn someone into the "enemy" if all you have is a partisan label.

Re: Label me

I'll call you an American as I call myself an American. There is way too many people obsessed (sp) with the labels. I don't like it and I'm sure it has many Americans confused about it as well.

Several tests that was posted at iboats about where you stood as a conserv or lib. Mine was always dead center between the labels. So that is why I call myself an American.

I will never see a united America due to the fighting and bickering between the two major parties. No company, corporation, or team can operate this way and be successful. Just too much hiding behind party lines going on.

I'm not schmart about exact government ops, but I do know when mom and dad argue, it reflects on the kids. Us kids are tired of it. BTW this goes for all the administrations since I've been alive not just this present one.

I respect what opinions are said, but to keep thowing it shows disrespect for those that put whoever into power. The tide will turn when one steps down and the other one steps up. Until then they won't know what they are doing. The shoe will be on the others foot when this happens. It always does.

Re: Label me

I don't really want the label. It was the post about Murky being a facist that made me put it out there. So much of the time everyone is all PO'ed about this repub or that dem did this/did that that they can't see we are all AMERICAN and should stand together. Ya'll ansered the way I wanted, most of ya anyhow. :)

Some folks just ain't happy unless they're chopping somebody down, KB... I've been guilty of it and seen the error of muh ways.... I figure we need to hush up and be like Bob says, "voting responsible citizens" and axe the ones who are constantly doing the chopping......

Confused!

Hmmm...You are a strong believer in personal freedoms? I assume that means male freedoms, as you clearly think that women are not capable of making proper decisions regarding their own bodies.

There is that euphemism for murder again. Notice how these vampires never say "I support a womans right to murder an innocent child for nothing more than personal pleasure."

It depends entirely on your definition of when a fetus becomes a "child". Your religion may define it differently than how the law defines it. Everyone has to abide by what the law states, but not everyone has to abide by what your religion states.

If you are in favor of freedom, you must accept the notion that not everyone will choose the way you choose.

Re: Label me

When did I bring my religion in to it? Stop trying to make this about some nutty christian bombing abortion clinics.... what a cheap and tawdry tactic.

Have you ever been to a neonatal NICU? I have. My son was in one. While there, I saw babies that were only 28 weeks old that were alive. ALIVE. Yet the law says that some loser bimbo can murder this child if she "chooses." Only a real ***** and the loser who knocked her up would have aborted one of those babies. Yet the law says they can do it.

Hey Snap I like ta chop: I admit it, not people, but: their upside down wacky sometimes totally unfounded idears.

This election in 2008 is a doozy, n' very important. Rare that either party has no sittin' Pres or VP runnin', and we face two BIG things that are big enough to effect my kids futures in a huge way. #1 The WORLD WAR against Islamo Facism, that really is not a 'bumper sticker'. #2 The biggest Demographic peak in the most important Country in History. The dim wits have VERY destructive policies fer both challanges. They want ta loose real bad to the Islamo Facists, n' they want ta go over a cliff economicaly, (no privitazation of Social Security), n' large doses of Socialism.

If ya have a brain with at least one functional cell n' pay jus' a lil' attention the choice is real clear. The cornsequences of electin' a Socialist to preside over the existing crooks, pervs, nare do wells n' thieves in Congress n' put activist Tyrants in black robes could destroy our wonderfull system, (or set us on a course to third world status), at the very least.



I've been guilty of it and seen the error of muh ways.... I figure we need to hush up and be like Bob says, "voting responsible citizens" and axe the ones who are constantly doing the chopping......

Ya know Snap maybe listnin' to the choppin' can teach ya somethin', (but maybe not). That said: the busy part of me year is about ta start when the kiddies go back ta school. So I'll be chopin' much less real soon. Respectfully, JR

Not when they are carrying my child they are not. She may be the one who has to carry it to term but its just as much my child as it is hers. If ya want proof just knock up some bimbo and then let her have the baby against your wishes. You'll pay for at least 18 years. This is all besides the point and this is all way too personal for me to be discussing with the likes of you. I should have known that one post that could turn out real bad was heading in a good direction and some (your choice of words here) would screw it up. Have a nice day PW, you sure F'ed mine to he11.
