Duncan Hunter is the clear choice for the presidential office. Unlike some of his opponents, he has laid out a clear and concise platform for protecting this great country. He lays these out on his site using language we can all understand. I have taken the liberty of quoting his website so that everyone can hear his great words. Describing the biggest problem he sees in foreign trade, “China is…using billions of American trade dollars to build ships, planes and missiles.” On security, other candidates are considering becoming friends with evil countries! Only Hunter can protect us from “the whims of rogue nations and fascist dictators.” On religion, he will lead an active fight to keep ‘”Under God’ in our Pledge of Allegiance, ‘In God We Trust’ on our currency, the Ten Commandments in our courthouses.” Because he knows that these things “reveal our character as a people and inspire those throughout the world the opportunity that exists through religious freedom.” A freedom only offered by strict Christianity. I know I already feel safer today knowing that in less than 2 years this man will be leading our country, and I hope you do, too.

Now let's all hope and pray that Mrs. Clinton's power surge doesn't knock Hunter out of the race.

I don't want to burst your bubble, because in fact i would probably vote for a guy like Hunter if I even though that he had the remotest of chances.
He'd certianly be my number one choice for our new Homeland security Director once they fire that incompetent Chertoff. but that's another story.
if you really want to affect change in our system, why not do the following. As I doing, withdraw from the unresponsive party system and re-register as an independent. Not the independent party, but just as an independent. You will then show the republican party that isn't responding to it's members, that you've had it with them. It makes you instantly a member of the most wooed group of voters in America during presidential years. And if we both liberal democrats and conservative republicans who are disillusioned with our professional politicians, become the largest block of voters: ie. Independents, we can then get some real answers, and real work on the politicos to actually tell us the truth on who they are and what they stand. this in order for them to flesh out some of the voters from this new more powerful "undecided" independent voter bloc.
Even though I appreciate some of Mr. Hunter's views, and like him personally, God save us from another Jesus Freak in government - particularly in the White House. I fear George W. Bush and the Religious Right, and the "military-industrial complex" more than I fear China, Iraq, Iran, N. Korea and all the other bogeymen, the fear of which, George W. Bush uses to keep the American voters in line.
Frankly, keep beliefs out of government. Our government was founded to protect the common good and our natural rights, and I understand that neither can be done perfectly without the sacrifice of the other. But keeping religion out of the picture will help us achieve a ballance.
The first ammendment: freedom of religion.
Freedom of religion means freedom FROM religion, jackoff.
Adding the "under god" is in itself hypocritical becuase it unnecessarily divides a country that is pledging to be united. As an atheist, I choose to substitute the words "under good". Works for me.
Second, how can anyone make any political or human interpretation of the statement "under good"? The word "good" itself is such a broad state of being that it will leave anyone, yourself included, wondering what it truly means.
Let's say, just for an example, I'm a "good" murderer. Is that a state of being that will benefit the people of the United States of America?
Lastly, we should all go back and re-educate ourselves about the reason why the pilgrims came to America in the first place. Whoever made the comment that the country was established on a "freedom from religion" is completely misinformed. The pilgrims came to America to escape religious injustices from the Church of England.
This is just another good example of how the freedom of press allows people to trust inaccurate information.
Just a thought, not nice, but there it is.
