*shakes head*

Dear Lord,

I pray that those that have misinform, those that are filled with hatred and lies know the truth. I pray that those that have ignorance may they obtain steadfast knowledge.

I ask this in your holy and precious name. Amen!

A wise man once said "tell a soldier he may die in battle tomorrow and he will find a way to make it happen"

Please people, don't will the U.S. into the gutters just yet. Benefit of the doubt might be appropriate here.

wooohoooo!!!!

aww nice prayer for the new dictator

I support the military....I didn't support the war...but supported the the troops..

I'm not even religious but I second that...are you wearing your curlers tanya

Many did this to Gov. Palin and didn't give her a fair shake.

I support both.

The rise of a city, which swelled into an Empire, may deserve, as a singular prodigy, the reflection of a philosophic mind. But the decline of Rome was the natural and inevitable effect of immoderate greatness. Prosperity ripened the principle of decay; the causes of destruction multiplied with the extent of conquest; and, as soon as time or accident had removed the artificial supports, the stupendous fabric yielded to the pressure of its own weight. The story of its ruin is simple and obvious; and, instead of inquiring why the Roman empire was destroyed, we should rather be surprised that it had subsisted so long. The victorious legions, who, in distant wars, acquired the vices of strangers and mercenaries, first oppressed the freedom of the republic, and afterwords violated the majesty of the purple. The emperors, anxious for their personal safety and the public peace, were reduced to the base expedient of corrupting the discipline which rendered them alike formidable to their sovereign and to the enemy; the vigour of the military government was relaxed, and finally dissolved, by the partial institutions of Constantine; and the Roman world was overwhelmed by a deluge of Barbarians.


"We the people" have to change from with in, as the leadership just voted in reflects more fantasy, and SLICK TV COMMENTARY SCRIPTS like HITLER and his charisma, corruption and deceit, and our heads in the sand that govt will SAVE US FROM THE EVILS OF THE WORLD AND KEEP US SAFE. CHANGE IS NOT CHANGE BUT JUST A DEEPER TRENCH down TO THE SLIPPERY slope and SLIDE OF AMERICAS Failings as a moral people , ESPECIALLY FROM GODS GRACE AND PROTECTION.

Oh Iowa...that explains everything

No sweets, I don't have my curlers in. And this is just been an emotionally draining night, so I am going to bed. Good night!

i hope i can still go to iraq

Oh come on...Bush wasn't that bad

Thanks man. A voice of reason.

finally you have intelligence in your leadership, this dumbed down "putting the fear of god and those evil terrrists into people" thing and and just coasting with low expectations through 4 years wasnt really working for you guys. hopefully now you can be a world leader in the true sense of the word again.

i want to go to iraq so bad

To do what?

We won't be leaving Iraq tomorrow.

wow...

so many have so many answers,eh?

individually we can change our country...just by doing one random act of kindness everyday. just by smiling at someone or having a positive attitude.

President Obama is a self made person...he does not come from money. He is a very intelligent man who has the core value of humility, something that I greatly admire in people.

He is our President and won the election regardless, so now you have a choice...to help get America back on track or you can sit and biatch about things that have not even been validated...

I admire him for his intelligence, his idealistic and energetic attitude...his realism...his ability to speak well...

I look forward to seeing who he surrounds himself with, and I do think he will be one that will listen to every side...and then make well informed decisions.

many people have defended our country in the past, in the present, and they will in the future...this generation does not have some sort of "special" ability to do that. I am very thankful for all the people who have defended our country many times over...and I know will continue to do so.

perhaps if we also made an effort to stop some of the violence, some of the hate, some of the negativity; we would all be better off...

I think President Obama had a great speech in Chicago tonight...

Can we do our part to bring peace to our own streets?
Can we do our part to show kindness and compassion to our own citizens?
Can we do our part to become informed, yet learn to be humble and gracious?
Can we do our part to bring energy to help make positive changes to our own country?

as President Obama said many times in his speech...

Yes, we can. IF we choose to do just that...
