“What we Americans do demand is for the president and Congress to keep their hands out of our private and personal decisions concerning our families and our health. Never did we expect to see the very best medical care in the entire world destroyed by bureaucratic elitists.”

Stop calling him “president.” He is an usurper; a pretender to the throne.

Apology accepted AJ. I suspected there was a thinking mind there or I would not have bothered with a response at all. Thanks for the comments.

And I am sorry my previous comments were harsh, immature, and lacked any sophisticated writing.

I agree with you on that point that you are entitled to your opinions and beliefs. That is what makes this country what it is. But don’t you believe that when views are skewed by biased news sites and distort the truth and the ideas, then the beliefs that you hold are not really your beliefs, but some TV personalities that is trying to sway you with fear and anxiety? My previous comments were harsh and for that I do apologize. I sometimes spew anger when I should be rational. One might not guess from my previous comments, but I am conservative (liberal-conservative) and religious (more spiritual). But yet, I get angry when I see ideas that are from Sarah Palin who has no place in politics, Beck who has no place anywhere in the public spotlight, and Fox News, which shouldn’t be a news organization. I am sorry when I take things to the next level against people that are just trying to understand. I am sure that 99 percent of the people on this site are legitimate hardworking patriotic Americans. But I also get scared that this divide we have created, where we must choose one side or the other, is what is tearing this country apart. Not the Health Care, not the Immigration, but this divide. If you are Red, you are not Blue. If you are Blue you are not Red. No more of this! We must get our knowledge from a organization that is not peddling fear. We have nothing to fear but ourselves. When a country begins to fear itself, each other, then we are no longer a true country. We are people who live in the same land, but do not trust or love each other. Again, to this site, to this editor, and to this author, I apologize.

The article was written well, I agree with the above comment and it being a “Christian” nation. There were some principles applied during the foundation however, the founding fathers made it very clear that ALL religious persuasions were accepted (as long as they did not break the law) and they also made it clear that religion and the government should never become entangled with each other.

As for being upset with others regarding their beliefs- you have yours, I have mine, and that is FREEDOM!

AJ, I know this is going to impose a severe hardship on you but I’ll let you figure out why this comment stayed and the others didn’t
