May 15 AndrewMC v Something Else Top POLITICAL priority? Most of the things listed in the poll are not political in nature. They are issues, but not necessarily issues which can be dealt with politically. The nation's top POLITICAL priority should be revising the election and political process to reduce government to manageable levels. The problem with big government is that when it is everywhere, the People start seeing it as a solution to every issue, which it cannot and should not be. If the People look to government to solve all problems, politicians will feel they have a mandate to use political processes to solve all problems. As a result, everything becomes a political issue.

May 13 JesusLivesInMe v Something Else How about returning to our founding (not gonna happen).. How about putting honor, character, chivalry, respect, and morals back into society (not gonna happen).. I think the bigger problem is how far we've degraded into a decadent, lascivious, debauchery filled society. The problems that we're seeing (such as the economy, the tragedies, etc) are ONLY the symptom of the actual problem, and warnings.. I think we need to get priorities straight (not gonna happen).. This nation is on a collision course with satan and we're going to hell in a hand basket, QUICKLY! May JESUS have mercy! r2 replies Post

u Apr 29 CaryNickel v Economy The top priority should be the economy, but I would go one step further and say it is because of politics and the political power class that our economy is screwed up in the first place. If we want our economy to rebound, we need to get the government out of it. Government control is the number one job killer in the United States today. If we want our economy to rebound, we need to get government out of it by electing people who will roll back regulation, reform the tax code, and basically just get government off of the back of every business. Free markets will cause our economy to rebound. The status-quo will continue to get us more of what we've been getting. B1 Post
Apr 27 Mnementh v Something Else Fix our broken government. The entire constitution should be re-written to reflect the realities of today. Unfortunately, that is an impossibility. Who could you possibly trust to write a fair and just system of government. It has never happened in the history of the world.

1 hr JesusLivesInMe @NoAmnestyEVER Ya, that's part of it. But, that also has to do with the point I made.. The illegals come from cultures that are far behind ours. Look at Mexico, Africa, the middle East, etc... Ever heard the saying "you can take the boy out of the city but ya can't take the city out of the boy?".. Well it's the same thing. Then they bring their culture here and ruin ours! Post @JesusLivesInMe

May 13 JesusLivesInMe "The entire constitution should be re-written to reflect the realities of today." And if the liberals had a say you wouldn't even have a right to say that, so be grateful for the Constitution we DO have that says "freedom of speech". It's NOT the constitution that's the problem, it's how far down hill this Nation has become! We don't need to re write the constitution to "fit today's realities", did you ever stop to think that it's we the people that have become corrupt? It's we the people that need fixing?

Jan '13 NormalFlora v Education Education is the only way that America can escape the mythology-influenced politics that are dragging us down. The three Rs are woefully inadequate for jobs in a global economy. We need more than prep for Walmart or Burger King. We need our college-bound students to learn calculus, physics, chemistry, and biology completely devoid of creationist dogma, and we need our skilled-labor bound students to have schools where they bring back classes in auto shop, woodworking, welding, CAD, cosmetology, food service, plumbing etc. And let's not throw humanities on the trash heap.

I truly believe those who voted for Obama are traitors to this nation whether they even understand what they have done.
