I also respect people who have different views, though not when they show disrespect for different views.

I don't know what you're doing to post them the way you do.

I don't know either, but you are doing the same thing

Thanks to RichieLion, you can read the full quotes and decide for yourself. I don't understand how this type of language helps the republican party reach out and be all-inclusive.

How do you feel about President Obama's relationship with a public and known racist based on his remarks...ie, calling him his MENTOR...attending his church for over 20 years and having him officiate at his wedding?

I dont want to discuss the issue....just want to know what you might think based on someone posting on here the Reverends quotes, the Presidents quotes on how he feels about the reverend and then jumping to a conclusion about how the President feels about race just simply based on a few out of context items that you ran across.

Please try to respond to this.

That's only because I'm quoting your quotes that you attribute to me.

This one is right because I was able to just quote you.

Go to You Tube and you will see exactly what Gingrich said as reported by me.

I have no idea why President Obama did what he did for 20 years. All I know is he got 95% of the African American vote in 2008. I get one vote, you get one vote. The voters will decide in November.

Oh c'mon, Richie. President Obama won both the popular vote as well as the electoral vote by a wide majority based on values considerably different than Rick Santorum's. The values cited by Santorum are only supported by a minority of Americans, nowhere near close to the 50%+ needed to elect him POTUS. His positions are a long, long way from being "traditional American values".

i don't agree with you, kahuna...i do think the great majority of americans hold the same or similar values as Rick Santorum....we are just bombasted with liberal values in every comedy show, news report, movie, etc so that we don't even notice it any more...but as we look around and see what has become of our society, our morals, our own grandchildren's misguided ideas in some cases, it is time we consider what our own values really mean to us and stand up for them.

Then you have lost all comprehension of what the true meaning of "American Values" are Kahuna. I'm sorry for that, for you.

Maybe you just think "American Values" change in the same way you probably believe the Constitution is a "living document". When most people think that way, our American way of life is doomed.

I agree 100%, chachacha and RichieLion.

Does ANYBODY believe that today's values represent those the majority of Americans prefer?

We have become so permissive there is almost no such thing as doing wrong.

And if someone does do something wrong the system will not attempt to do anything about it for fear of some retribution coming from ANYWHERE.

The majority is losing it day by day.....and they continue to allow it...hence we have what we have.

While I agree with you btk, I have hope above hope that it can be turned around...Each generation has enabled and pampered and spoiled the next, in the name of tolerance and forgiveness. Accountability has been thrown out the window and the "lack of charactor" snowball continues to roll.
