    One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. The Redcoats would have hung every signer of the Declaration of Independence as traitors if they caught them.

    Now please define what your morals are and why you want to dictate, under threat of legal punishment, jail or even execution, anyone who violates your set of morals such as for living with a person of the same sex, taking Plan B or doesn't believe in your church's particular beliefs about God?

    I think most people know what our morals are and very few wants to dictate them on others. We also don't want the Liberal morals pushed on us.

    What liberal morals? That we all have to love each other? Agreed, screw that.

    What I'm talking about is the moral obligation to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic. I know you've heard that at least once.

    A person's right to their own body, including the right of suicide, what consenting adult citizens do with each other in the privacy of their own home or their religious beliefs are all supported in both our Founding documents and/or the Constitution.

    If we say some people have rights, but other's do not, then we weaken our own rights just as surely as if we did it directly.

    As implied in pastor Martin Niemöller's famous poem, if we don't stand up for the rights of others' then we are on the path to losing our own rights. We should not let our Constitution be weakened or chipped away at by those who seek to restrict the rights of other Americans.

    It doesn't matter to me if it's a Democrat seeking to restrict my Second Amendment rights or a Republican seeking to restrict another person's Fourteenth Amendment rights, if we let either of them get away with it, then we all will lose in the end.

    Your values of being able to use abortion as a form of birth control, even up to the 9th month.

    Not seeing anything wrong in drug use and wanting to make it legal

    Pushing the homosexual life style on the nation, with parades, TV shows and condemning anyone who doesn't agree with it.

    Condemns Christians at every opportunity, but are constantly sticking up for Islam

    Get upset at having the Ten Commandments put inside the local courthouse, but sees nothing wrong with putting up a large mural in the court house showing a guy shooting a another guy in a hoodie

    Nice straw man argument but incorrect to the point of deliberately lying.

    I think you're wrong. These two parties have of fighting and bickering with each other. Keeping us busy and looking in the wrong direction. People aren't mad enough.

    Which two parties? The Democrats and the Republicans?

    Agreed it takes a lot of angry people to effect change. If there is no change, then people aren't angry enough. Look at the 1960s for a good example of what it takes to change society.
