Born Again Christain are "PRO LIFE" not against abortion... the letter doesn't seem genuine.

How can you be a "against abortion" and then vote for Kerry who is so Pro Abortion, he voted against partial birth abortion restriction. The answer is you can't... it really sound bogus.

Hey Doll, I can relate to your situation with your friend. I have a co-worker friend that feels the same way. He is completely disillusioned right now.

He can't understand why we went into Iraq and for that matter believes if we just left the middle east the terrorists would leave us alone. To believe this is to totally ignore that 20 of the 23 major world conflicts involve Muslims with their neighbors. Like it or not we are involved in a war that is much bigger than just Bin Laden and his band.

US Soldiers that mistreated Iraqi prisoners are being prosecuted. But if Bush ruled America the way Saddam ruled Iraq you would have to multiply Saddam mass graves by 12 which would be 3600! Bush would need to torture and kill 6 to 8 million Americans per year to equal Saddam's annual output.

It amazes me that some Americans actually think Iraq would be better off if Saddam was still in power.

There are two types of people in the world. People who love freedom and are willing to die for it. People that fear dying or even more fear their children dying and want someone or something to take care of them and make decisions for them. That someone is either a deity or a government. You cannot change these people in either direction. To a person, every friend or acquaintance of mine that is rabidly against President Bush somewhere in the conversation or email say “it isn’t worth dying for.” Everything else before and after that is just fluff to justify their position. It is the old cold war dilemma. “Better Red Than Dead” or “Better Dead Than Red.” As for me, give me liberty or give me death.
