Even Jesus said that no one is good, only God is good. Whatever good can be found in people is directly from God.

Unfortunately, the best one, Herman Cain, is out of the race... Sad days for America...

Dearest Birdman III, many people walk around saying words that they have no intention of acting upon. I'm sure at one time or another, you've promised something that you didn't even intend on delivering (the check's in the mail, sure I'll respect you in the morning, etc.) Words alone are not a reason to act. However, if your neighbor states he is going to kill you, then proceeds to buy firearms, perform surveillance on your comings and goings, and runs practice test fires at or toward you, I'd report such actions immediately to the authorities. I wouldn't "take him out preemptively".

In a word, Birdman III, no.

birdfighter, I'm sorry, I'm opposed to the government providing ANY money to ANYONE who hasn't earned it. Social Security - for those who have paid into it, yes. For others, NO. Welfare - NO NO NO! The government cannot give money to anyone unless it has taken the money from someone else who has EARNED it. I'm sick and tired of giving to those too lazy to work, period! There are fourth and fifth generation families all living on Welfare, having never even LOOKED for a job. Cut out that boondoggle and you save all kinds of money!

Thank you, Ann, for all the kind words about Ronald Reagan, one of our greatest presidents. As well, you should write a column about Washington and Lincoln. Of course, none of this is relevant to Romney, who is pro-choice, pro-life, pro-2nd amendment, pro-gun control, pro-business, pro-"the common man", pro-gas, pro-green, all at the same time

Anne, I think it's because most people who are willing to do a little research are looking to see what Romney had DONE versus what he's SAID. The man is another 0bama, saying what's expedient, changing with the wind, and will not turn the country around from the brink of destruction, but only slow it down. If we are to lose our Republic, or have to fight to prevent its loss, I'd rather fight against a Democrat rather than someone who calls himself a Republican. Those who are now supporting Romney, I beg you to do your research, and only go back 12 years. You won't have to go further to see the man Romney truly is.

Shubi, I don't think so... I think it's USC in another incarnation.

Sir, it's your choice to believe or not. I look at the history of the man, and the way he sways in the breeze. And, believe it or not, if Romney is elected, no Republican will have a chance in either the mid-terms (2014) or the next general (2016) because all the Dems will have to do is point to the decline of America, then point to Romney and say, "You want more of THAT?!" I care about the FUTURE of America, not the short-term goal.

Just so I understand your mindset... You would prefer to have a "Republican" in charge as the U.S. goes under rather than a Democrat. Really? Because if 0bama is elected, we have about 2 years before the sun sets on our Republic. If Romney is elected, it will take 3 to 3-1/2 years before we get the same result. Romney will NOT put the brakes on spending, will NOT do anything other than slow down our demise. He's too much of a liberal flip-flopper; pro-life when expedient, pro-choice the next day. Myself, I want to be able to point to a Democrat as the reason this Republic failed.
