Also if you read the federalist papers written by men such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay they clearly say that our form of government is a republic.

Though we elect our repersenatives democratically our governing body is operated as a republic.

and by all means, as you are doing so, realize what you are saying. You cannot recite this pledge and call yourself a Christian; and if you think you can, then you have been deceived. You cannot serve two masters.

For a Christian, these distinctions are irrelevant. You cannot serve two masters; decide this day whom you will serve. If you are invested in the political, ecumenical, or financial systems of your country (as obviously opposed to your nation), then you are just playing at being a Christian, wadr.

The targeting of innocent Israeli women and children by Hamas is nothing new...

1 Samuel 30:1,2 Then it happened when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid on the Negev and on Ziklag, and had overthrown Ziklag and burned it with fire; and they took captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great, without killing anyone, and carried them off and went their way.

ok, but why, oh why, is that your focus? The offering up of children to Molech is not new, either; in the US, we sanction it, and call it 'abortion.' Let's talk about that, shall we--something that actually applies to us.

Seriously? Why is Hamas' targeting of women and children my focus? "Prolly" because, unlike you, I find it repulsive that Hamas would not only target women and children, but hide behind them and use them as human shields.

How is a terror organization targeting women and children comparable to abortion? It's just not. Regardless, it's a nonissue as there are several discussions on here where I've spoken out against abortion and the people who have enabled, encouraged, promoted and made it easy and free to obtain them.

and "Democratic Republic..." please. Can't think of a better way to divide you. Are you a Dem, or a Rep? Of course, we have Indy's, but no one votes for them, hmm. A vote for either D or R is a vote for satan, pure and simple. you can blather about conspiracy theory and revisionism all you like, but they even have a flag, hello. Have a nice weekend.

"They simply escape, leaving behind weapons and suicide bomb vests that were laid out for battle. This morning we stormed a position, and they just weren't there. I don't see a determined enemy. We have encountered stronger pockets of fighting in the past."

"I have not entered one civilian home that did not have weapons, suicide belts, or booby traps in it."

The reports of a collapse in Hamas fighters' morale lends credence to other reports that Hamas leaders were considering a temporary truce suggested by US Secy of State John Kerry.

Since Israel already was going to accept the Egyptian cease fire, I imagine they would accept Kerry's as well; however, I wish they wouldn't. They need to completely wipe out Hamas. If this report is true and Hamas is on the run, Israel needs to pour on the offensive, not stop. Accepting a cease fire or truce will only add more years to the conflict. Bring in the tanks and bulldozers. Destroy the Hamas leader's homes and other buildings connected to Hamas. Raze Gaza, if need be to stop this once and for all.

Kerry's truce will only help Hamas regroup, which continues with this administration's theme of helping Hamas.
