  It was an option I’d been considering for quite some time, actually.

  Completely agreed.

• Mosque Move ‘Not Confirmed’: Florida Imam Explains Deal With Koran-Burning Pastor

  While building a mosque in that location is wrong, as is burning the holy book of another faith as protest. How would Christians feel if, because (for valid reasons) others did not want a church built in a certain location they decided to publicly go out and burn Bibles? You would not like it at all, I’m sure. In fact, you’d be more than a little pissed off. You have to realize that, even if you don’t agree with it, those people believe in the Koran as Christians do the Bible.

• ‘March With Me’: Ed Schultz Vows ‘We’ll Get…300,000′ at 10/2 March

  Isn’t he old and white? Is he saying that he’s going to be there, driven by anger, hate, and racism?

  Er… yeah, that’s totally a rally I want to go to. /sarcasm/

  The only sad thing about it is that sometimes I feel like I’m the only one in my age group that actually cares. It’s not enough to discourage me, but it does infuriate me to see the people that I’m so often lumped together with walking around in their Obama T-shirts, singing the mans praises when they can‘t even say a single thing he’s done since being elected. Hell, they don’t even know who anyone in any other government office is. All they care about is “oh, we have a black president, and I heard something about health care.”

  In my district, I was involved with getting petitions for a Conservative Republican on the ballot for Congress. Of the kids I talked to (one or two years older than myself), most were flabbergasted by my support of the constitution, and they wouldn’t help to get him his fair chance at running in the primaries. I suppose they assumed, based on my alternative fashion sense and age, I should have been campaigning for a liberal. Those who recognized my pentacle as a symbol of my religion were even more shocked.

  I don’t think I can get people to understand that, just because they want to dress a certain way or whatnot, doesn’t mean they have to think a certain way. Just because we’re young, it doesn‘t mean that we can’t educate ourselves to the things going on around us. We don‘t have to go along with something and think it’s right because our friends or parents say it is. We were born with brains so that we can think for ourselves, it doesn’t start being important once you hit your thirties. It’s important now, and will continue to be as important as we grow older. The people we elect in our early years of voting, and the people we support before then, set up what’s going to happen in our future.

  The effects of bad politicians in office now is awful, but as the debt grows, and as our freedoms get taken away it will only get worse. It‘s setting the stage for what we’re going to have to pay for when our parents and grandparents have left this world. If everything falls apart, it’s our generation and those after us who will either have to live with it or put the pieces back together. However, if they’re all to incompetent now to do a little bit of research, then what are we to expect when things need to be fixed. To solve a problem requires some sort of cognitive function, but if they don’t start thinking now, there won’t be any of that for the future.

  I sometimes get to the point to where I want to rip my own hair out. It seems that this is the only subject I can’t seem to communicate with people my age about. I think they just block out anything I say in this regard. (But they hang on my every word when I’m giving them relationship advice)

  BECAUSE I AM INSECURE ABOUT MY PATRIOTISM.

  A real patriot wouldn’t be insecure about it. If you love your country so much, then you wouldn’t be afraid to say it loudly and proudly.

  I WENT TO A UNIVERSITY AND LEARNED FROM A REAL PROFESSOR.

  Obviously, your “real professor” taught you nothing of the appropriate usage of capitalization.

  I DO NOT LISTEN TO A YALE DROPOUT LIKE BECK FOR A DISTORTED POINT OF VIEW.

  Because your “real professor” already gave you one? Alright, well take some independent study time to bring it back into focus.

  MY SUGGESTION TO YOU TBAGGING FOOLS IS TO GO TO A COLLEGE TO LEARN HISTORY

  Because, if we get all that edumacation, we’ll be able to hit the caps lock key in order to attempt seeming important. Not to mention, we’ll learn such lovely and diverse vocabulary.

  I’m not even out of high school, and I could more than likely teach you more about history than you seem to think you know.

  THIS MAY REQUIRE MOST OF YOU TO GET YOUR GED FIRST, BUT IT IS WORTH IT.
  Speaking from experience? How long did it take you to pass that test, thirty- maybe forty times? I’m just asking based on the level of intellect you seem to be showing. It’s perfectly okay, but you should know that if you had stayed in high school long enough, they‘d have given you your ’special’ diploma.

  I am unable to vote legally until the middle of next year, but I agree whole heartedly.
  I’ll continue to help the campaigns for those who have ideals that coincide with my own, and when I am able to, I will vote for those very same people. I hope that this way, the government will be full of people who do things by the constitution, not by some obscure standard of social justice.

• Meghan McCain Calls Sarah Palin the ‘Time Bomb’

  September 8, 2010 at 12:41am

  I’ve never once felt ostracized from those on the right as far as politics go, and I’m most certainly not Christian. I’ve found that most true Conservatives respect my freedom to believe and worship as I will, even if they don’t agree with it. That isn‘t to say that there aren’t a few nut jobs that try to shove their religion down my throat, but I write them off as just that: nut jobs.

  As far as Palin goes, I can honestly say that she’s one of the few women in politics who actually has my respect. She’s a great leader, she knows what she believes, and she isn’t afraid to stand by those beliefs. While I can’t say I agree with her 100 percent of the time, (because honestly, if you agree with someone on everything, there’s something wrong there) however I can say that I believe that she was the only reason why John McCain was able to get as much support as he did.

  Finally, Obama would not have been unbeatable if more Americans actually cared to look at what they were voting for. I don‘t think I could express my aggravation towards the seniors in my old High School who thought that it would be awesome to vote for him because he’s a black, Democrat, who used the word “change” a lot in his speech. Apparently, I was the crazy one because I actually did research.

• Palin Power: Non-Word ‘Refudiate’ Gets Most Online Searches

  September 7, 2010 at 3:52pm

  Of course, Palin makes a word that actually makes sense and people jump all over it. They try to use it as something to degrade her, but people don’t seem to remember the many sheer idiotic mistakes Obama has made when speaking publicly.
