Martin,
Not everyone shares your opinion. The only way this country will stay =
together is to support it. We all know what happens to a nation divided =
against itself. The good and the bad, the right and the left and the =
mistakes and the good decisions. The President is the head of our =
country and the Commander in Chief. I don't appreciate people like you =
that only want to throw eggs every chance you get. Throw some solutions. =
Be friendly and not combative. My last request is to take your political =
opinions and move them to a political site. I don't think that this site =
was on the link at moveon.org. I would appreciate if you would take your =
disharmony to moveon.org and share it there with people that think as =
you do. I respect and pray for our military. It has a top and a bottom. =
At the top is the President. My respect and prayers are for all of them. =
They are in harms way engaged in a war. (my opinion)
Love McGinty

This is hardly the same as "cutting off funding". If you are going to =
