However, I would prefer to see women in their own combat units rather than integrated with the men. That would cut down on sexual tensions and pregnancies ...and the men would not be distracted by naturally protective instincts.

I would also get rid of "Don't ask, don't tell" and put all homosexuals in their own units without regard to gender since they make no distinction and would not deny their right to fight and die for their country. Sexual tensions might not go down but there'd be fewer pregnancies.

Like JY, I've been a registered voter since the age of 18 but as a Republican. I, however, recognize the degradation of my party and never have felt bound to vote GOP regardless.

JY also honors the traditions of men [gratitude for favors done his ancestors] over the sanctity of life. Being pro-life is not the same as being anti-abortion as witness his support for abortionists.

Part of the problem with the GOP is the moderate Democrats who switched party affiliation and brought their cowardly leftist socialist ideas with them. They had neither the heart nor the understanding of Reagan who totally spurned his Democrat beginnings. So now the GOP is as corrupt and selfish as the Dems party and all the people are left to suffer. There are no more statesmen only politicians.

It grieves me to note that biblically speaking the two parties remind me of Jeremiah 3 with the Dems as backsliding Israel who will be more justified than traitorous Judah aka the GOP.

The cowardice and stupidity of the Politically Correct strikes again!

It's pretty sad when someone in a leadership position has to be "forced" to choose their own national symbol as "permissible". I suppose "The Star Spangled Banner" and/or "America the Beautiful" will also be considered for banishment at some point. "God Bless America" is surely not welcome.

Does that mean Harry is only pretending to be a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? How small an aspect is the school?

"All you have to do is read the ruling, and you will find that this will never save a single child, because even though the justices say this one technique is mostly banned -- not completely banned -- there are lots of other techniques, and they even encourage abortionists to find less shocking means to kill late-term babies," he said.

The issue before the court was not abortion in general but only this one facet of it. As such it may "never save a single child" but it will spare many other children this particular torture. And if you can't (or won't) stop a murder, the least you can do is encourage the murderer to use "less shocking", less stressful, less painful methods.

Man's sinfulness ensures that abortion, like the poor, will always be with us. I prefer small incremental steps to no progress at all while waiting (unrealistically) for the one giant step that ends all abortions. Until societal mores again condemn abortion wholesale the best we can do is restrict it and regulate it.

Lack of Christian political involvement has promoted unrestrained abortion, child abuse, (child) pornography, divorce, educational decline, euthanasia, fornication, homosexuality, kidnapping (aka Child Protective Services), and other immoralities. Those who choose not to register disapproval by their votes give tacit approval to whatever ungodly laws, rules, or regulations the voters approve.

Without Christian political involvement the USA would not have been, the Founding Fathers would not have been, and Geo.Washington would have been George Who? Although not a Christian nation the USA was founded on Christian principles and ideas that your savages would not have conceived.
