Our military ordinance will not help the situation in Syria. It will give more profits to the MIC which is an uncontrolled monster already.

He said (I am not making this up, and I'm only paraphrasing slightly, if at all) "I don't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Palin on this ..' Let Allah sort it out.'"

It started as a civil war. It’s evolving into a proxy war between Shiite Muslim fundamentalists and Sunni Muslim fundamentalists, both of whom historically are our enemies. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think that Palin actually has this right: Let Allah sort it out."

That is where I learned about his petition.

He gave me great hope that our reps and senators might be willing to listen to their people's concerns about Syria.

How come Rep's know how to use the filibuster to block what they want, but no Dem has a clue?
