I wrote this to Seth,

Hello. Seth, I'm just now able to get back to you. Alot of work, and with the kids and the wife pregnant, just don't have much free time.You asked a valid question. Who with any integrety or consequence has said to embrace our enemies? Let's start slowly. John Kerry did at least on four different occasions during his campaign. It just depended on which side of the bed he woke up on. Let's not forget Howard Dean. I know, what kind of power does this man have. I don't know, he was just voted in as the head of the democrat national leader. Ouch. Some integrity. Oh, I almost forgot, the great Senator Kennedy. He still is shouting that out of at least one side of his mouth. Is that the same side that he still claims to be innocent of raping and killing that women in the early 80's.

Then there is Hillary Clinton. At the start she was screaming that. During the election cycle she staid firm on that. But as soon as she made it clear she would probally run for president in 08, she reversed her stance on everything from the war effort to gay marriage to taxation. Nice women of integrety. Scary thing is she will probally win because you democrats have such short memory. Sorry so late in coming hope to hear from you again.

And now, I have to say that I'm slowly getting dissapointed in our president. No, I'm still support him and still think he was the best one for the job, but here of late he has done some things that I totally don't agree with. This Sea Port thing. Handing the security of six of our biggest sea ports to the UAE is about the biggest moronic thing I've ever heard of. (Yes to those that believe in being grammatically corect, i meant to say that).

I do not believe our president has a grasp on the border. Now he is willing to hand our security over to people that can't even protect their own from terrorist. How are they going to stop anybody. I feel we have been doing a real good job since 9/11 in keeping out terror, but now we are handing them a door. Yes , Seth, If you are reading this, let me tell you, I'm an American. I'm a devout republican. But there are things on both sides of the issues, both sides of the aisle, that are doing things I do not like. But i will agree with the "christian right", alot quicker than I will an abortionist or a gay activist. Sorry.

Lately, I really have been doing some thinking. I've been listlening to alot of what is going on in this country, and quite frankly, I wonder where we are going. Just where are we going in this world? Every one seems to have an opinion on this subject.

Some say we are heading in the wrong direction, that we need to embrace our enemies. That we should look out for our liberties, which they say are more important than our security. Yes, our security is very important. But so are our freedom. one really needs to stop and look at the whole issue, not just part of it.

People seem to lump this into one complete issue. But, you really have to take it one piece at a time. For instance. I completely agree with the wiretapping. I believe that it does serve a purpose. I believe that it doesn't enfringe on my rights and freedoms. How can it? You can't tell me that you have the right to commit terrorist activities. That is what the wiretapping is meant to do.

On the other hand, You have the national ID. No thankyou you. That does enfringe on many of our rights. Including the rights of the states to govern themselves. No I don't like it, and am upset that the president actually signed this into affect.

Life is not all black and white, republican and democrat, liberal or conservative. Live a little and realize that it isn't a bad thing to go against the grain.
