:'(I go by afghanvet, though I have not been formally invited I peered into this website and thought I'd join. I am an Army veteran and proud to be an American. Seen my share of guts and glory. Don't really care for politicians but support them in truth and justice lol! Don't like when people claim they have the facts and no answers to problems, cause they are all sugar coated lies. I like what works for this country and what its best for it, not some puppy loving party goer who backs those crooks on the senate floor and in the house. I am neither a Democrat nor a republican I am pure and utterly American. For God and country God Bless you all.

Sorry my son pressed the keys like I said took a tour of the site and yes the site is really great. And with all that goes in politics as of late i am pretty sure you will have many who would want to discuss the issues.

afghanvet,
CM created this site and has been the driving force behind recruiting new members, adding additional topics and continuously updating the many features on this site. He made me a deputy a while back just to help guard against any comments that strayed too far from the "Terms of Service". The red stars by my name might make me look important, but along with everyone else, I'm just a regular member here.
We all hope that you'll stick around and recommend this site to others.

Afghanvet, I think the difference here, at least right now, is that we realize that there are informed people on both sides of the issue. Personally I think nothing would make me stop posting faster than to find that everyone thought the same as I did about every issue. I would be afraid to live in a world where everyone thought I was right about every thing every single time. Luckily Jack is here to calm those fears. In a way I think perhaps Jack and I could be the model for how deep disagreements do not have to foster deep resentments. Ironically the more we post the more we realize that in the grand scheme of things we really do agree on much more than we realize or would have predicted. You always had a rationality that will help on this site. I think once you have seen life and death you do not confuse it with the frenzy of your daily life.
