Scoot,
You are 1000% correct. And I'm sure a great portion of us would be just a friendly bunch of car / racing folks when 'outside' the religion / politics discussions. This is still America and we are free to voice our opinions and I personally encourage civil discourse. I'm guilty as heck in getting fired up when a differing opinion starts the immature action of name calling and false accusations. I'm VERY passionate about our current 'situation' in OUR capital city when our NATION's very EXISTENCE is at such high risk. We have a very high probability in loosing the freedom of enjoying our car passions !

i agree with you scooter 110%. i hate politics even though i have a few degreesin political science.i have not talked politics in years until i came here. but i hold back so much because then i start to sound like them buttheads on msnbc.also way to much typing for a one finger wanderer.i have lost a few friends over the years because of politics.all my fault because ive always been so passionate about whats best for my beloved country.we have wandered way to far from what america was suppose to be and im afraid we will never get back to where we belong.so to hell with talking about it. ill try to keep how i feel and whats the right way to go to myself. rad. z nice ride. i aint into camaros much but yours is well RAD. KEN

Well guys, i sure don't have the enswers... but I hate to see us get to hung up on varying opinions about politics. I do agree w/ Double/D though... feedom of speech, voice concerns, our country needs help, etc...
I think many of us feel the same way though... America is slipping. On the other hand, there is a fine line w/ politics that can create division between us. This division is not something from the God I worship... it is in fact from the opposite. Every once in a while I want to say that I am humble enough to admit that I am getting judgemental or not being fair. Scooter

It's very frustrating and aggravating to me that We the People have let our political 'leaders' lead U.S. down this suicidal path which is dividing OUR country, families and friends. This is what happened with the Civil War(which sure wasn't very civil). We are ALL Americans and need to fight together to save this beacon of FREEDOM, OUR U.S.A.. Civil discourse and open minded discussions are needed NOW. Research the TRUTH from a variety of sources YOURSELF. Do not take to heart the words of only a limited number of news outlets. 90% of working and seriously concerned American citizens do NOT have the time to do that much needed research, which is what the socialists work on to destroy American Capitalism. The uninformed, uneducated, and lazy are VERY easy to fool and lead.
