Where ever you live, you are going to be living in a society or culture dominated by some religion that influences the values of it. Well, that isn't true. Communist countries tend to be a little short on "culture dominated by some religion", for example. Well, actually it is true. The Soviets waited for the last generation of Russian Orthodox believers and Jews to die out. They never did. If you wanted the government off of your back, you hid you religious views. Once retired, people were a little bolder about returning to church services. China is pretty much the same. Even Mao was influenced by Confucius and Buddha. I think the Pope also received a welcome in Cuba just recently. I would hardly call underground and behind-closed-doors following of one's personal religious beliefs to result in, your own words, "a culture dominated by some religion". From: "awoelflebater@...

What makes you think I can't accept it if she's elected? I think she's got a slightly better than 50% chance of winning. Doesn't mean I'll support her or her agenda. I certainly won't trust her on anything nor will I believe anything she says. She's a proven liar and belongs in jail. Funny, that's exactly what I think of Trump. He's a pathological liar and clinically insane as well. Your *school system* is broken, thanks to the teachers unions. "You can't fire us! This is *my* J-O-B!" I think it's the Muslims and refugees who have caused any problems we have with our school systems. Surely you know this. Parents should have the right to send their kids to the schools of their choice and the tax dollars that support their education should follow them to the school of their choice. You have a real and irrational fear of *Christianity*. What are you, a Christphobe? I doubt Ollie is a "Christphobe" (interesting made up word there). He seems much more phobic of narrow minded holier-than-thou imbeciles who claim they are born again and Christ loving. But he, of course, can speak for himself. Where would you rather live, in a Christian dominated society or a Muslim society? Neither. I'm not a fan of any religion because religious zealot tend to be a pain in the ass. Seems like too many Muslims want to get out of the countries they live in. Wonder why. The problem is, that they want to bring the very source of their misery with them and spread it to everyone else. Have you eaten your Cheerios today, Mike? Your brain seems a tad foggy. Muslim refugees and those seeking a better or different life hardly choose to bring the blood and mayhem with them. It isn't about fleeing religion it's more about trying to escape bloodthirsty mad men intent on killing people. You seem to think that all of the problems in the middle east are Christian based, caused by *Christian* countries, interfering with them, when the fact is that European countries have kept Arabs from destroying themselves. As I said in an earlier post, most of these countries don't even identify as being *christian*. They identify as being *liberal secular* societies. I don't even know where to begin with this.

I have several generations of public school teachers in my family, so I advocate working within the existing system. I think the voucher programs are a crock, and a mask for a radical christian in name only agenda. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : I'm not going to vote for a crook and a liar.

But you won't. There will be excuse after excuse after excuse to continue to wage your culture war on the US. None of the religious right wing were this hard on Bush, who started two wars and nearly bankrupted the country, but he was a rich white guy, who said he "spoke directly to God", so, wink wink nudge nudge, eh? Do your research on school vouchers, etc. Nothing more than racism disguised as "choice", and skewed heavily in favor of Christian in name only schools. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : States are in charge of their population's education, not the feds. School choice is code for going to the school of your choice for you child's betterment. It doesn't have to be a religious school although that could be *a* choice. So much for *Pro-Choice*. the reality is that you people are fundamentalist dictators, who really don't understand the form of government we have here. It is called a democracy No, we don't live in a *democracy*. We live in a Constitutional Democratic Republic. The founding fathers knew the idiocy of a democracy. Republics democratically elect, officers to represent the people and hopefully their best interests. From: "olliesedwuz@...
