How many of our veterans have given their service and life's for the good of our country unselfishly ?

Unfortunately anybody with any integrity and common sense isn't going to put themselves, their families, and their friends through all the Bull #^&#^&#^&#^& that running for that office entails.

Great point. And not many decent people have the connectoins or $$ to pull off a presidential election, plus, you'd have to be insane to want that job.

Agree 100%, but we need to build people who are willing to serve for the sake of serving. Having worked with kids for 22 years I have seen a lot of potential and hope. I am sure your serving as a troop leader have seen the same. But, if our generation doesn't encourage honesty, integrity and character, and have sports and political leaders who they can look up to and aspire to be like, it's never going to happen.
We could go on forever talking about the bad influences they put up with, but it's everybody's job to build morality and character, if not us ,who?

Quite true. But when Obama is opposed to gay marriage, that was OK. When a Christian is opposed to gay marriage (yet happy to provide free medical care, food, shelter to gays), but doesn't want to attend a gay wedding, well, THAT'S bigotry.

I don't think they are bigots for not wanting to attend a gay wedding or for even not being in favor of allowing 2 gays to get married. I think they are bigots for wanting to discriminate, for not wanting to supply pizza for the wedding or a wedding cake or (as I said the Ind. law would allow) not fix a gay person's car as the Mich. auto mechanic just came out and said (maybe he can find an old "Blacks not served here" sign and change it to "Gays not served here").

But we're off topic here.

I come across good kids all the time....always have hope. My current SPL is such a stand up kid. I'd vote for him right now.

Father was a 20 year man that served in Iraq and Afghanistan, he went to El Salvador last summer to help under privileged youth. He oozes confidence and leadership qualities......15 years old.

I hope the world don't wreck him.....
