I don't think ANY Republican back in the 1970s ever imaginedthat dividing our nation into TWO teams,
those on the right and those on the left
was a good idea.
I've always heard to form a more perfect union, we must demand
equality among men and women of all walks of life and all religions.
We must come to the realization this is not a white nation or a Christian nation.
We are a multi-color, multi-cultural, secular country for all peoples
regardless of their country of origin.
We've have seen on full display What Doesn't Work.
We need a leader that can bring all Americans together
We need a leader that can help us all back onto the right track.
That is The Kind Of President We Need.

choose the exact opposite.
First term we need a president like Malcolm Nance, 2nd term like Barack Obama.

(10,088 posts)6. I agree with you with one exception - we should be a secular country. I think religion
reinforces and promotes social inequality and social conflict. It helps convince the poor to accept their lot in life, and it leads to hostility and violence motivated by religious differences. I consider religions to be the destroyers of humanity. They are the primary reason we are not better than we are.
