I like to hear your opinions and I try very hard to understand the opposing views on topics. I don't always manage but I do try!

Terry is right, I do not have anything against FoxNews, I was just saying that everyone who thinks Obama is great will probably continue to think so and those who believe Bush is great will probably continue to think so.

I guess I just do not have enough faith in the system to believe that we do not incarcerate innocent people some of the time, both in US prisons and at Gitmo. I think the checks and balances are there for a reason and should not be overridden with an us or them mentality. And I do not think torture benefits US regardless of what it does to them. We will never see this the same, but I am glad to have a little more understanding where you are coming from.

I just get tired of all this "Republicans think this," and "Dems think that" rhetoric. For the most part, I don't care what a group of people thinks; I care what individuals think. And I am so alienated by posts (that go either way) that accuse members of any particular party of all sharing common (good/bad/otherwise) beliefs. It's really making me crazy.
