Ratherfish,
I applaud your conservative viewpoints. However, if you wish to be taken seriously, I strongly suggest that you rethink your strategy.
One gets the impression that you consider yourself a Christian Conservative. But, what I can't figure out, is how the Love of Christ is supposed to be seen through you, when you are antagonizing Kreutz, Gunderwood, and others.
Since you got here, I've seen you exemplify virtually every complaint I hear against both Christians and Conservatives.
We are a pretty tolerant group, over here. We've united under the banner of the Second Amendment, and while we are here, we have intelligent discussions over any issue. With a group the size of this one, there will almost always be an opposing viewpoint. And you know what? That's OK. Things would get pretty damn boring if every single one of us agreed on every single detail.
Up until I read the post in which you stated that you served in Vietnam (which I greatly appreciate, by the way... just as much as I appreciate that Kreutz served), I assumed you to be a high school student. In your first post, you ranted that you were expelled from another site for your views on Ron Paul. I submit that your views were not the problem. My friend, what they apparently grew tired of, was your PRESENTATION of those views. And, with time, I suspect that the powers that be, over here, will also grow tired of the mockery and general disrespect that you have displayed, thus far.
The following link will take you to George Washington's Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior. I suggest that you read them, and take them to heart, before posting further.

The first rule is "Every Action done in Company, ought to be with Some Sign of Respect, to those that are Present."
Rule 79 is also worth noting; "Be not apt to relate News if you know not the truth thereof. In Discoursing of things you Have heard Name not your Author always A Secret Discover not."
