Unlimited money and politics.

The 2012 Presidential election campaign has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can buy your candidacy. Case in point the Wisconsin recall election. It also proves what a politically biased supreme court can do to ruin elections and life in general. I believe we need a change to the for life term the court now enjoys. I find it interesting that the Republican party ( including the so call Tea party) run on family values and less regulation. The only thing they care about is what will put more money in their pockets, regardless of what happens to other people or the planet. If you don't believe me, prove me wrong.

Religious discrimination

What has happened to this country. It seems that if you are not proclaiming at the top of your lungs that you are a CHRISTIAN!!!!! you are looked down upon, scorned, ridiculed and said to be UN American. Since when was determined that to be an American you had to be a Christian? Some on the FAR right want this to be a CHRISTIAN nation. I believe this is wrong. Many of our ancestors left their homelands because of that very reason. I believe our founding fathers wanted to make sure of religious we had freedom of religion.
If anything we should be Jews, after all CHRIST was a Jew.
The Christian right is constantly proclaiming how we should fear or hate the Islamic fundamentalists. Maybe we should, but we should also be concerned about the Christian fundamentalists right here in this country.
Christians have shed just as much blood as Islamists. Can't we all be religious in our own way. I personally am leaning toward Buddhism. It seems to be the most non-confrontational of all the religions.
You may disagree with me and that is OK. I just think we need to take a step back and reconcider this proclamation that this America is a Christian society.
I would like to hear what you have to say on the subject.
