What am I?

Please do not let the discussion become a field for personal attacks.

Opinions are normally welcome, however this thread could easily be closed.

This thread has really snowballed. Lol.

While it wasn't my intention to stir the pot or rile people up, it seems personal beliefs and values that differ from what one person thinks can breed a little controversy.

It is cool to see where some of you stand and what some of you believe.

Good to see that some of you share some of my views and also nice to see there are some of you I should avoid as we have very little in common.

Normally I wouldn't call any of you out for anything you posted here but I'm going to go on record here.

MarkCo, if you think I'm part of what's wrong with this country then you are either living under a rock or perhaps you misinterpreted some of what I posted. No hard feelings on my end either way. I've known for a long time based on your posts here that you and I have very little in common.

Foxtrot, your post highlights what I believe to be the most significant problem with modern American politics: Non-producers are drowning the producers with legislation that benefits the non-producers and penalizes the producers. I could probably write a thesis about this.

They also have a real hard time getting I.D to do things like VOTE. Or is that they're prevented from getting an I.D by the CORPORATE 1%

ray1970, no hard feelings at all. However, since you are "on record" please tell me where I was critical of you or your stance. Where did I ever state that I think you are part of what's wrong with this country? Go ahead and provide the quotes.

I am in the same shoes as OP:
I am one to live and let live and don't care who you have a relationship with, provided that you don't turn that relationship into a circus.
I am most definitely not a Christian.

HOWEVER,
I do believe in meritocracy, in self reliance, in taking responsibility for my own safety.
I do believe in an eye for an eye, rather than finding a justification in the society for scumbags.
I don't like the government sticking its nose in everything I do, so long that I don't infringe on other's freedoms.

You have to figure out what impacts your life the most.

I may not be a"perfect" Republican, but that is where my vote goes.

I'm good with everything in your original post minus the illegal immigrant issue. I see it more as a cancer than a "valid role" in our society. Only because our current government feels the need to give illegal immigrants all the wonderful benefits they should not be entitled to all the while we have a lot of our veterans who are homeless, can't afford healthcare or find gainful employment. Yet they seem to bend over backwards for the illegals.

I done think veterans not being able to be gainfully employed had anything to do with government hand outs to illegals. Entirely different issue.
