Hitler was never going to "take over the world." You sound like a fifth grader. Millions more died anyway when our allies the Communists took over Eastern Europe, China, Indochina and North Korea, remember that?

If a country declares war with the U.S. you think they are only going to go after democrats because they are in control of the U.S. government. how silly does that sounds!! The U.S. government never encourage the use of WMDs on Iranian troops it is a flat out lie!!!

OK the communist killed millions more are you saying the U.S. had something to do with it also.I guess to some people the U.S. is the trouble maker no matter what they do!!!

The U.S. had everything to do with it. Beating Germany and Japan delivered almost a billion people into Communism within 5 years.

Yes, to people who know history and hold the U.S. to the same standards as they hold other countries, the U.S. is a troublemaker.

Religion and virtue are important parts of life----we all need moral compass in our life.

That being said, we need to proceed with adhering to the constitutional directive of seperation of Church and State. It allright for a candidate to profess his ties to faith, yet I fear that our political process is becoming a challenge or free for all for everybody to out faith base everyone else.

We have monumental challenges and issues facing us-----debt reduction, job creation, motivating and educating our children, repairing our infrastructure, and restoring the confidence of our people in congress .

These are monumental challenges and will require a creative and imaginative group of people coming up with solutions. I will let the candidates tell me they are faith based, and I appreciate that. That being said, than please get on with and let me know what you are going to do about our massive problems.

I dont want to infuriate good and solid faith based people----but please----please----lets spend the majority of time during the upcoming debates and process in coming up a blueprint and design for meeting our challenge----I want to hear more of that and a little less dogma and slogans----lets get on with it---a struggling nation is waiting.

I wish I could say I'm sorry for the way thing turn out, but I'm not sorry, so you will just have to deal with your hatred for Americans for the rest of your life so sorry that you have to do that!!

There is no other country like the US? Based on what criteria? Blind nationalism annoys me. Ever heard of Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Norway, Sweden, etc.? All of them are in a better position than the U.S.
