I have absolutley no energy to read all 100+ post so I'll just state my case.

I right of the proverbial spectrum. I am very right wing on some issues (such as *** marrige) and very liberal about some issues (death penalty). I find it amusing however that since America is the wealthiest (percentage wise) and most powerful (thats uncontestable) country in the world other nations feel the need to judge us. However when something bad happens everyone turns on us to do something about it.

People hate America because we don't really care (as a whole) what others think of us. We're the kid on the playground who gets made fun of but brushes it off. Other countries can't stand the fact that we're better than they are.

People hate America because of our freedom. They hate that things like pornography are legal (i'm refering to the radical muslims here). They hate that we can buy whatever the hell we want. That we can choose a religion, a sexaul orientation, a gender, a partner, friends, social groups, whatever we want to.

People hate America because we are one of the few countries that still has a conservative majority. Conservatism isn't evil like many people think it is. It is simply the belief that life should be led guided by a supreme being. I'm not saying that all republicans are christians, muslims, etc. or that all liberals are not christians, jews, muslims, etc. I'm saying that the majority of the time religion plays a big part (if not the biggest part) in deciding what you stand for.

People think Bush stole the election in 2000 and in 20004 and suceeded. I'm not a huge Bush fan. I am howevera supporter of the majority of his policies. I think the Iraq war is not a mistake. Time will prove it the right thing to have done and support is needed instead of saying that it was wrong with no real proof or saying that it could have been done better. It could have been, but it wasn't so support is needed to make it work the way it was done.

I am against *** marrige for one reason. My faith teaches that homosexuality is wrong and unnatural. I am not a *** hater at all though. My faith also teaches love the sinner hate the sin. I am friends with several *** kids at my school and have helped out with the GSA at my school.

I could type a whole lot more but I'm really tired and have a splitting headache so I'll leave you guys with this.
