With the chaos surrounding the Democrat Party race for someone to represent Democrats in the race for President of the United States, how important is it to KNOW what has shaped the mental outlook of the most liberal Senator and his "vision" for how he wants to "change" America?

I received the following article and found it thought provoking as we continue to be enamored by the "looks" and "sound" of a candidate while not looking closely at the character, beliefs, and actions of the candidates.

Is it possible that the "long term plan" of radical Islam is to destroy America "from within?" It certainly seems to be a greater possibility. Adolph was "popular with the masses" as he spouted the "things they wanted to hear," but what a disaster ensued. Might this be a case of "have you learned nothing from history?"

Stop what mimi?

Is there some reason why Presidential candidates cannot be discussed or their "value systems" explored?

Is there some reason why "blind trust" should be granted?

If not, where has he "earned the trust of the American people."


In case you think this has anything to do with his being half black and half white, it has NOTHING to do with "race." It has to do with what he, or anyone who might be entrusted with leading this nation, might believe, especially with respect to the defense of this nation and the concept of socialism as the "change" that he wants.

The FACT is that Obama IS the #1 most liberal Senator of all Senators.

The FACT is that he opposed ANY limitation on abortions.

The FACT is that is either blind, deaf, and dumb...IF we are to believe that he didn't KNOW the racist and anti-America sentiments and teaching of his chosen "spiritual advisor," and sat there blind, deaf, and dumb for 20 years.

If he was that uninformed after 20 years, he has NO business being trusted with the future of this nation, and I don't care if he is GREEN, PINK, LAVENDER, WHITE, BLACK, BROWN, YELLOW, or any color in the spectrum.

He is a person. And we, by way of our VOTE, are being asked to "judge" the overall fitness of all the candidates to be the Leader of the FREE World.

So what is your problem with examining and discussing the political process, since being involved in the political process IS what a basic tenet of his church is?

I assumed this was the appropriate place to post "other topics"?

Politics, Cars, Entertainment, Recreation, etc.

Do you know might have to settle for the "least-worst candidate" this year, as Dr. James Dobson puts it?

My oldest son who is 18 discussed this with me recently and asked me "who has the most sound marriage principles, dad"? "Is that not the best way to determine the strength and convictions they hold?"

Great insight for an 18 year old!

I'm a conservative Christian and I had a tough time with this one! I'm still processing it!

Yeppers...I know this one all too well.

But we are given the candidates we are given and we need to look closely at each of them to hopefully limit the damage and protect this nation from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

The view of at least two of the candidates currently running is "take from what is YOURS and give it to others because that's what I want to do."

Just another form of "infidelity" to the people of the USA, imho.

I do, Cooper.

Do you have some problem in mind that prompted your post?
