And we have the "right" to thank for that? LOL, you're an idiot. The U.S. being the "strongest" country in the world has nothing to do with it being to the "right" instead of to the "left".

M dogg, You don't know shit. This is the Republican oath I have framed on my wall.
I am a republican because:
-I believe the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
-I believe in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless or race, creed, sex, age or disability.
-I believe free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
-I believe government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
-I believe the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs least.
-I believe the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.
-I believe Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.
-I believe Americans value and should preserve out national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.
Finally, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideas into positive and successful principles of government.

I just have a few comments/questions in regards to these things mentioned:

So how do you feel about the Patriot Act, which in fact takes away some of our constitutional rights and freedoms?

How is the Bush administration doing on that one?

At the moment, the opposite is happening (war, not peace; torture of prisoners, some not even being captured in battle, etc). What's your opinion on the torture of prisoners?

you forget, these are only for Americans. ::)
Simply put, I wanted to know why most hardcore Christians, who get so worked up about prayers and schools, and pro-life, support the Republicans, as if that's all Christianity stood for. Why is the Republican party attractive to Christians, when as a Christian, I cannot see the connection between the two. All of the responds I've heard have nothing to do with religion and politics. So am I too believe that in fact the Republicans are not religious. Well hell, if that's the case, then fuck it, I feel completely happy voting Democrat now. I can sleep nicely at night knowing I voted for a the Democrats, and God wouldn't damn me. Honestly, thank you 'cause you guys all proved my point without me saying much at all.
