I'm Republican/Libertarian, so I'll give it a shot. Why would anyone be opposed to clean air,water and land? I'm not opposed to any of those things. I am opposed to the EPAs war on C02. CO2, H20, and O2 are the three most important compounds on the planet to support life. For the past 8 ...

Marine replies on Apr 23, 2018:

School vouchers to private schools goes against the separation of church and state . The rep are always portraying themselves as protectors of the Constitution but chose to ignore it on religion. I do not see any republicans protecting the enviroment rather hey are doing everything to destroy it. Letting mining waste into the rivers and chemical waste to be dumped in land pits is not protecting the invironment. Russia is a threat to our government and to think otherwise is crime.Social security is a godsend to the middle and pooer classes to which they have contributed. It is not an entilement.

I'm not republican but I know enough to know it simply comes down to "It's my money and no one should tell me how to spend it"

Marine replies on Apr 23, 2018:

Great. Now tell me how you would defend the country,build roads,infrastructures and run the government without money?Believe it or not but you use the government every day in some manner.Who picks up your rubbish, provides sewers,water ,electricity and police protection and firemen? None of these are free and you could not afford them on your own. It is by pooling some money from everyone that these are made possible. So do not be so quick to say it is your money as it also your safety and needs that are being taken care of.

gater comments on Apr 23, 2018:

Why ask Republicans? the deficit doubled under Obama - a Democrat

Marine replies on Apr 23, 2018:

Because he had to fix what the republicans did to the economy without regulations, rules and laws. These are the same protection issues that trumpie just disolved so another crisis can develop. Please look at our economic history and you will see the dems are always placed in a postion to bail out the economy which requires spending that the republicans should have done.Then they blame the dems for spending. However the the stock market generally rises under a dem and falls underf a republican just like it has in the past few weeks.

Gun laws and regulations ___ Who should make them?

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 20, 2018:

In fact there are a multitude of gun laws in place already, have been for decades. What your 2-faced Congresspeople do, is Never, ever, pass any budgets to enforce them. Not one dime for something as simple as a guy to check gun seller records...and everybody in the industry knows it! Thus your ...

Marine replies on Apr 20, 2018:

We have recently had two gun stores closed because they were not following the proper procedures. In addition we have had several raids that shut down illegal gun sales. I really have not had any problem with enforcement here in Ct. Federal agts., state and local police have been doing a great job. The problem with the state laws are that they differ from state to state and some states do not have any or very little. If gun control was a fereral program it would be uniform in every state.

Many have placed blame on the military! Does the soldier or the politicians who put them in harms ...

"Support Our Troops" Is the cry of both political parties... because they both proliferate war and nation building. Nope... I can't respect the Military until ...

Marine replies on Apr 19, 2018:

Forget the Libertarians as they are republicans in disquise. I have served in the military as a Marine and I can tell you the people who most opposed war are those who serve in the military. I have known many officers , generals etc and none of them wanted to go to war in any sense. War is a very serious thing , a very dirty thing that when our politicians and diplomats fail they cause a war to happen. Unfortunately after three wars, I hope the USA has learned that they are unable to nation build in our image. It just does not work if the people are not of the same mind.Culture, tradition, religion play more importantly in building a country than the desire for democracy. The defense industry is also to blaime as they miss sales when there is peace.The connection between them and many who serve in our governemnt is the problem.They push for tanks,guns and planes to be sold to the military when the military does not even want them. I have known of big guns & vehicals being ordered when they were not even wanted some because they were not suitable for use. This is the waste that must be eliminated from the military. The person who serves does so because they are ordered to do so and that is the oath they have taken. They should not be blamed for the horirble incidents of war. They are provided with these weapons as are the opposition who reigns down the same type of horror. Innocent people are always the brunt of the nasty results of war, Note no matter how much you might dislike war there has always been a war going on somewhere on the planet since the beginning of time. Humans do not know how to keep peace.

Two types of gun owners: Those, like myself, who have a weapon they hope they never have to use.

Bluesman56 comments on Apr 16, 2018:

Is there not a third type of person? somebody who sees they are not trusted with a firearm and so choose not to have a weapon that can make mistakes that are irreversable.

Marine replies on Apr 19, 2018:

There are many who fear guns because they are not familiar with them and think they just go off and shoot. They were never exposed to them and many have not shot a gun and experienced how much fun it can be. I have been shooting since I was 10 years old. I was not really trained regarding a weapon until I was in the Marines. There in lies the problem. People are exposed to weapons without the proper training just as I was.Not only do they not know how to handle them but how to store them.These are the same people who vote against themselves frighten about regulations that might take their guns away and should from these people. The people making the laws have not been trained to shoot properly and they make silly laws. If the people who know guns made the laws we would be better off.

no real god I disagree with you completely. As a progressive I am open to any idea that will promote imporvement of society and I can tell you the conservative friends I have are far far right of this thinking. I would place them fixed in time with no chance of changing their minds.

Marine replies on Apr 16, 2018:

I disagree completely ,I am a progressive person and want to use change to promote a better life for everyone. I feel that there are basic things we as people should enjoy like a fair wage, freedom from worry that medical problems will prevent a nice life, education, food and shelter. These are not asking for the moon but they are being denied by the super wealthy using foundations to generate super wealth that they will never be able to spend.

Marine replies on Apr 16, 2018:

You are not a liberal rather you are a libertarian and they are scary.Nothing but a government can meet the needs of a society. There must be an entity to build roads,hospitals,schools,airports and laws and regulations that this entity works by. This same entity provides for security of the Nation and for it's people law and order.

I believe you are right on the same page as myself. At least this is what I thought I was.I am for contriolled spending ( I do not wish to throw money around) but I also feel for the people that are not so lucky/ The super wealthy do not earn the money by their own effort rather by the work of the many and I believe that the workers have a right to share in the fortunes of their efforts. Asking for a wage to permit a home ,family education and health is not being unrealistic.. Hello jeffy

Please read the book Dark Money. I do not know if the dems are any better . i do know that under their reign the people seem to be treated better than under the republicans. I support a better planet,protection against wall street and banking,safe work places, and health protection for all as I believe these are basic things and not something that should be regulated by money. Just because you did not have any wealth you should not need to worry that you will never be able to have a family , have a home and enjoy life for the few years we exist. The greed that these energy barons disp[lay makes me sick , they value money that they will never spend above life of the planet!
