 On another note, Obama just allowed domestic E-mails to be read and cyphered through looking for terrorists.  Thats a major issue with me to be honest.

 Hadn't seen this yet.  URL please?  |   
 
 I saw the news story a week ago.  If i remember right it said emails were being read that were not allowed to be read, but it was a mistake that they were looking to and not at the direction of Obama. |

 I do not believe anyone is complaining about the protests, at least not me.  I'm just trying to set the facts straight on who is protesting and what they represent.  I'm a big believer in public decent and free speech.
 
 As for Obama and the domestic e-mail spying you got it a bit off.  The story is that it was discovered that the NSA was misinterpreting past policy and the Obama administration is putting a stop to it.  In fact the Justice Department under Obama is researching, evaluating and undoing many of the privacy and civil rights violations of the Bush administration. 
 
 I agree with you that it is not, or at least should not, be an issue of party affiliation.  Unfortunately radical elements in both parties have made every issue a polarizing issue and at times it seems hopeless that we can find our way out of that mess and use some common sense.  And although I disagree that the media is biased as a whole it seems that there are at least two extreme sides represented by them that stoke the polarization.  You have hit on a couple of the names already.
 
 It sounds like you have or are serving your country as I did many years ago.  I want to thank you for that service but also remind you that the greatness of our country is that people can disagree.  That is what we defend.  DonĂ¢€™t get sucked into believing that if people do not agree with you that your service is being dishonored.

		I was surprised that I didn't see but a few Conservatives that I know, mostly folks that were concerned for their children futures and seniors not being able to continue in their retirement.
