It doesn't matter if you're democrat, republican or independent...you're an American first and if you feel like you no longer matter, take a look at the webpage above with an open mind.

1. America is good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
He is trying to corner the market on sentiment, then herd people to vote neo-Con. As under Reagan, most Americans will then see their payroll taxes go up, and more manufacturing outsourced.
4 and 5 contradict each other. 9 is a good justifier for dodging the draft.
America is good. if America wants to invade Iraq it is good. If America wants to return to the progressive taxes or tariffs of our most prosperous years, it most be good.

Was Coalition Provisional Authority Order Number 2 Good or Bad?
American Lieutenant General Jay Garner was placed in charge of the Coalition Provisional Authority. He was for integrating much of the Iraqi Army into the security of Iraq. He didn't drink the kool-aid, and was replaced with American Paul Bremer. Paul Bremer disbanded the army. the Insurgency flared up. 3000 additional Americans died. Maybe a few hundred thousand Iraqis died. two or three million fled the country. Was Jay Garner America, or was Paul Bremer America? How good is it?
If America wants to prevent immigrant laborers on the Mariana Islands from seeking basic justice it must be good.

Was this good or bad? Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff also built up big moral highhorse platforms, then worked for opposite results.
