love of country

Today we have country and its current laws which all americans should abide by even if we might disagree with them. We have local, state, and federal laws that need to be enforced even if we disagree with them. Each states have certain laws that differ from state to state but we still need to follow them. So if we have these laws in place and you think they should be looked at and possibly adjusted then vote the right person in to hear your concerns. You might dis agree with the person currently in that position but no matter what they hold that office give them the respect and then go to ballot box and vote them out. We as americans should discuss policy and not ones opinion of ones actions while the country gets deeper into chaos and division that is why we are a democracy not a dictatorship. ALL americans need to look at ones self and see their actions of their lives and i guarantee you that you will find issues within ones self that are wrong and un-worthy. So you should judge ones self before judging others. Dis agreeing with someone on policy and direction is one thing but all humans have skelton's/issues in their life they wish they could get rid of but fighting with ones demons does not solve the issues needed to have america move forward on what's most important country and family

love, You scare the hell out of me. The motto of Nazi Germany was " Germany over all ". Love of country is important, but we must speak out when the government is violating somebodies rights, or getting us into a stupid war. I love my children, but I still discipline them when they misbehave. Family is first on my list, but if I were Trump's child, I wouldn't support him for President!

Welcome to opp and you are so right as the saying goes judge not lest yea be judged. When you want to respond to some one hit quote reply then it will show who your responding to. We have those who love to make some one mad but others you will truly enjoy there are a variety of differing opinions and you might learn a thing or to along the way. Most important have FUN

Well you just missed all that was just written and said. We are not in germany nor in a communist nation. We are in a free society. You say things that make this country stay divided. First trump has not created war nor made this country the way it currently is today. You are very nieve to think so. If you are talking about government what part are you talking about. My question is who did you vote for? That would say a whole lot or did you vote not just the presidency but all elections. One other thing who disciplines you with your wrongs if you say know one than you to are a hypocrite. It is perfectly all right to not like trump but the longer you keep blinders on the longer it will take for this country to stablize and move forward. Politicians have made these problems for years by ignoring them for their own personal gains that is why we vote

Also you as an american have that right to be upset and dis agree with ones views but you do your talking through the ballet box. Trump is not the only one in the wrong with his outward actions. You can not single out an minority when you choose. For the record i did not vote for trump if that is what you are thinking. Go into policy and see what is good for all americans not just the things that best suits ones ego and needs. Two wrongs do not make it right.

Heh. Welcome to the forum. Glad to have you aboard. Don’t forget the “quote reply” when you respond so we know who you are talking to. I think you will do fine if you are already getting people riled up.

You folks all miss the most important thing.

Who puts up the candidate for you to vote for?
Since you have no real input in who is put up, and except maybe in some small town ellection you don't know the candidates personally, how can your vote be of any value?

Since the late 1800s, the same groups, who now all work together, have been putting up the candidates, who are all under control through blackmail, bribery, etc.

The same groups control your news media, and since you don't personally know the candidates, the media gives you all the information, true and false about the candidates that they have put up. And you make a decision based on that?

Who counts the ballots?

If you think about it, how can you ever expect to have your vote count for anything.

How stupid can people be?

Don't you realize that the "vote" nonsense is just a means to keep you from facing the fact that you have no way out of this BS.

Soory guy, but you are dreaming.

Just for the hell of it, why don't you read what I wrote, and if you think I'm wrong, show me.

How can you get rid of the parrasites, if you keep falling for the same "your civic duty is to vote.

I feel sorry for you who can't think your way out of the trap you are in.

As long as you have no say in who runs for office, and are dependednt for what you read or see in the MSM, how can you even think anything will get better. Has it ever in your life, gotten better except in your dreams.

I will bet you that when another few years pass and you look back, you will find that nothing has really changed, except that more govt. control and a larger govt. exists.

Oh the MSM and internet will talk about improvements and losses to keep your attention away from what is really going on. But you and yours will be no better off, while they distract you with wars, shortages, tax problems, etc.,etc.

You will be worse off than you are now .
