But that’s my opinion.

Jesus forgave. He didn’t smite. I can only think of one instance where he was angry in the bible, and that’s the temple incident with the money changers.

I guess you could say Jesus didn’t like Greed, which could be argued as being one of the main Republican Commandments.

“What wrongs do you personally face?”

Personally, not that many and I’m very thankful for that. If I had to pick one right off the bat, I’d say lack of affordable health care coverage for starters. But just because I have few complaints doesn’t mean I should ignore those who DO have more complaints. Right?

“I think that is what the military is doing as we speak.”

I guess it depends on how you look at it. Many would argue that the military (in Iraq) is causing more harm than good…

“If only I had a super suit from aliens I would fix everything!!”

But don’t lose the instruction manual!

“This is a matter of opinion.”

Man, just about everything is a matter of opinion. And, hey, I’ve been to plenty of Dead and Phish shows too.

“Being poor in America is better than being okay in the Sudan dont you think?”

Gosh, that’s setting the bar awfully low, don’t you think?
We can do much better…

I guess it’s all about how you look at things, isn’t it? You might say “bitching and complaining”, while we might say “working to right a wrong”.
What wrongs do you personally face?

Certainly you don’t think that rights are granted and then that’s that, do you? Rights and protections are under constant assault and therefore must be constantly fought to protect
I think that is what the military is doing as we speak. Sounds conservative to me.

Believe it or not, I’m walking on air:
If only I had a super suit from aliens I would fix everything!!

A lot of the basic comforts you take for granted were given to you by liberals and fought against by conservatives

This is a matter of opinion. Liberals are not now what they once were. It goes back to my statement of having legitimate complaints. I have seen first hand the poor and downtrodden. I have also seen about 15 Grateful Dead shows where people are free to be bums under the guise of Capitalism. Being poor in America is better than being okay in the Sudan dont you think?

You must not be a Christian, huh? I care for all people, Aaron. I’m a bleeding heart liberal who loves humanity as a whole but who also loves his country. But I’m not a Nationalist. I do not believe in “my country, right or wrong”. We’re all brothers and sisters as far as I’m concerned.

“We have the ACLU and leftists bitching and complaining about how sad and awful America is.”

I guess it’s all about how you look at things, isn’t it? You might say “bitching and complaining”, while we might say “working to right a wrong”.

“Is this because they wish to be seen in the same light as the people before them who had legitimate complaints?”

Again, it’s how you look at it. You may not think so, but we think that fighting for civil protections and rights ARE legitimate things to fight for.

Certainly you don’t think that rights are granted and then that’s that, do you? Rights and protections are under constant assault and therefore must be constantly fought to protect.

“I mean really, what is everyone so pissed off about? Lack of food in America? Lack of housing? Lack of opportunity? Lack of education? Lack of infrastructure? Lack of freedom and choice? The “totalitarian”government?”

All of the above and more. Believe it or not, there are people malnourished and hungry in America today. Believe it or not, there are tens of thousands of homeless people. Believe it or not, some communities do not have the same quality infrastructure as other communities. Believe it or not, freedom of choice is under constant attack…be it a woman’s body, or a couples right to choose to marry each other, regardless of their sexual orientation. Believe it or not, I’m walking on air…

“…I can go home to my air conditioned hoise and eat the food I bought that has been wrapped in plastic, not even finish it all,crack open a beer and watch 70 channels of crap while playing on the internet.”

A lot of the basic comforts you take for granted were given to you by liberals and fought against by conservatives.

That food you bought wrapped in plastic? Did you know that liberals fought for better food quality and health standards? Have you ever read Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle”??
