So much now is turning out to be genetically influenced: is it possible that we --mostly of European heritage-- have a genetic disposition to fight before we talk?

Or do we have a disposition to "demonize" before we attempt to understand?

Or do we have a disposition to "see things as black & white" when there is lots of grey?

Or do we have a disposition to "see what is just different" as "right or wrong"?

Do we really "forgive & try to understand others" as "we expect them to do for us"?

Do we really "do unto others" as we "ask them to do unto us"?

We were told to "love others as we love ourselves", do we do this?

Do we really believe what we so often claim to pray: "Thy will be done"?

How about "lead us not into temptation", do self-serving lies tempt others to do our will?

Does "deliver us from evil" mean we have no obligation to seek what is right ourselves?

Does "will I prayed about that" mean "I don't have to work to learn about that"?

Does "they should never have signed that mortgage" mean its OK to "leave my neighboor in the ditch."?

Who said "love God & your neighboor as your self" is the Greatest Commandment?

Hagee might be right, he just has the really important issues wrong: that guy that so many Americans claim to pray to, did actually tell us what to do & how to live, mostly about our actions toward other people: and here we who pray so much & elect presidents that pray so much, seem to have forgotten how we were told to live our lives. ....pjwky

Hi Carson,
Google products outsourced to give you information on all the products we no longer make in this country. We would be in big trouble and vunrable if countries shut down imports of products we use and need everyday. To me this is very much a national security issue.

Then you would agree that Affirmative Action, product liability lawsuits, high Corporate taxes and Labor Unions are all threats to national security.

I think you mean stopped exporting. Thats an economic issue not a security one.

You're kidding... Right?

First, if we are buying all of our products from overseas, where do you think our money winds up? In your bank account, your companies? Nah! It winds up in the coffers of the foreign countries. So how do you build wealth and prosperity when your biggest export is the dollar?

Second, and equally important, if there should be another world war, and the neo-con leftovers are banking on it (literally), how could we possibly get up to speed on weapons production, and all the little things that must be made from the gears and sprockets to the field medic and surgical kits and more importantly, all those nifty little electronic devices we use if no one is currently making them here?

We dusted the enemies in WWI and II because we didn't have to rely on anyone for anything. We already made it here.

You don't see a significant threat to our security here?
