Has realized this country is in so much trouble. God will not bless this nation if these values we have are being taken away without allowing us to decide by voting if we want certain laws changed. I am so sure a high percentage of voters will vote on the side of values. Our country, because of the same sex marriages and relationships, adultery, murder, abortion, greed and other actions are killing us. Because I don't agree with all the listed above things and it makes me ill knowing this is going on, Can I call the ACLU and have my rights fought for? I have realized the idea that a majority vote wins and the minority vote doesn't work like that anymore. The minorities get what they want. So not fair. One person in a high school doesn't agree with having prayer and he or she brings in the ACLU to fight for putting a stop to it. So wrong.
I don't believe a homosexual is born gay or an alcoholic is born that way. These are choices these people have made. It may be due to an incident that happened in their lives, but still their choices.
Not sure how comments will go, but I am speaking my opinion and I would like it to stay clean. I have the power to delete those comments that are offensive in my opinion.
Love me or leave me. I am grateful I have God and values on my side. I am safe in the knowledge that when I die, I will be with Jesus. How can what the Bible teaches, be a bad thing. It teaches right from wrong. It teaches pure agape love. Life lessons abound. It teaches so much.
Those of you who know me from my church years, please comment here. We are supposed to let everyone know who God is and what he is about.

My opinion about our rights and freedoms and the news and other such things
by Dorrie Baker Shuster on Friday, February 18, 2011 at 11:47am
Just thinking here...Why are a lot of people blaming just the republicans for what is wrong with this country. I have put my thoughts out there about the government before and have been unfriended due to that. I also posted my Christian beliefs and have been basically told that I am a hater because I am not "tolerant". Tolerance, in my humble opinion, is the lazy way out. I believe in fighting for what I believe in. My hubby, father, father-in-law, brothers-in-law are some of those who served this country so I have the rights I do. I believe in freedom of speech. I believe in the right to bear arms. I believe life begins at the moment of conception. I believe marriage is a unity between a man and a woman. I believe this country was founded by men who wanted God to guide this country. I believe that God blesses the country that keeps Him in the forefront.
I also need to add that disciplining your children is not bad. There is discipline and there is abuse. Most people with common sense know the difference. I was spanked as were my 7 siblings. We all turned out okay and none of us have committed any crimes as our parents cared enough to correct us and teach us right from wrong. Also, it is a parents responsibility to know where their children are at night and during the day. If you are a working parent, make them call you and make sure they aren't hanging out on street corners at night. If your child is not doing their homework, it is your fault for not checking it. I think it is wrong that children are taught in our schools to report their parents for a spanking even if it is just disciplinary. It is not child abuse when you spank a child for running across a street without looking both ways. I am sure a lot of you like the time out method, but I do not think it corrects all behavior. God made our butts a fatty place and I think is the perfect spot for a swat. I asked a policeman about the law in one town I lived in and he said that 2 swats on the bottom is discipline, any more is abuse. I agree with that and parents need to step up and control their children. I have 2 wonderful kids that have a work ethic and morals and know right from wrong.
If my friends here don't agree with me, that is fine. If you want to unfriend me for my beliefs, go ahead, because then that tells me that you didn't value my opinion as I valued yours. A true friend allows the others to have their own beliefs and idealsWhy can some democrats here say what they want and stay friends, but me, as a republican, is basically told that I am wrong and...here it comes.....DELETE Dorrie!
The news media has a lot to do with how things are run in this country. I watch MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, HLN and form an opinion after checking them all. One person who deleted me "assumed" that I just watch Fox news and I don't. Some are quick to blame others and not put the responsibility where it belongs. One example of the news media messing with our heads was the whole shooting thing in Arizona. The media was very quick to blame Palin, when the dems were just as guilty with bullseyes on their maps. The idiot that did the shooting is to blame. Wake up people and read and research political things before placing blame where it does not belong. I am sure I will probably be unfriended once again, but at this point, I say "Whatever". You weren't really a friend. I am allowed to have my own opinions also.
I will sit and wait to see how many friends I lose and you know what, if I do lose some, that is okay. I still have risen above what anyone thinks about me....
