You know I don't talk politics too much because people can get ugly fast, but so far this is a pretty friendly and slow to anger website so I'd thought I'd say just a few things.

not waging war for other countries in lands that will never really be our allies because we are a Christian nation.

This is a good thing to think about, if we are so very different than the Middle Eastern countries (who, if you ask if you are not Muslim you are an infidel/devil) we need to be careful with who we consider our "friends". I'm not saying we can't be respectful of each other and leave each other alone, but again if they consider you a "infidel/devil" how could we ever think these people could be our friends?
Now, that is too general so don't get me wrong...a friendship would be good, but I just don't see it in the cards. I think most put up with us and the rest loath us because we 8/10 times are a Christian nation who are holding them up from establishing a Muslim world.
With that said, just thoughts, I have hope for a middle ground...while in all honesty I know what we are told about the future and things don't look good but are going to be progressively worse.
So, before I depress anyone (lol), the economy is our main concern but I for one could care less about how much money I have if in the midst of it all we end up losing this nation's moral compus further and we forget that terrorism exist. As a nation...we are a forgetful people (humanity in general really) so who ever is the next president I hope he makes the US better while aggressively defending it from people/nations like Iran and terrorist.
My political views tend to be moderate while I side with the republicans more so than the democrats but these are just my thoughts on the political machine.
Quick fix, the wages of this nation have been WAY behind inflation and it's a simple rule...if we have money we spend it, fix that wage problem and you will boost the economy more than anything else.
LOL, I already told my wife...as a patriotic citizen of this great nation, when Bush gives us that 1-1.5K in tax rebates I plan on spending it all to help boost the economy. It's MY DUTY!!! LOL, married people have to be creative convincing wives they "need" to spend money...lol.
