After wading through the torture apologists on Facebook...I am at a crossroads [View all]

I honestly don't even think that we could clean this mess up if every Democrat and Progressive in the country showed up to vote. Of course I am not advocating not voting, but it seems more and more like an exercise in futility.

There is too much willingness from both sides to continue the agenda that was started many years ago.

How in the world can you reconcile this notion that torture is okay and justified if WE do it? How do you look at your neighbor and know that he supports raping children in front of their parents?

How can you really move forward as a nation half of the people in this country feel that way?? How can there be progress of any sort? How can you move forward as a nation when half of the folks think it is okay to slaughter young black men in the street for very minor infractions of the law--real or perceived?

But the one thing I really want to know....how do they sleep at night and how to do they settle up these terribly unchristian actions with their God?

I wish I knew.
