I did not have the misfortune of growing up as Andre had to do, but I can appreciate his plight.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I am a christian and I live a life of tolerance of others. I can only base my opinion of Islam on the life on Earth I have lived. Islam has shown me and jews to be recipients of terror and death inflicted by the teachings of wahibbist and muslims in general. You want me to trust you Andre based upon your association with known rascist Louis Farakhan and Islams history of death and terror upon christians and jews? NO!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I do not trust muslims! I will never trust Muslims until the death and terror ends, and your Imams start teaching acceptance of other books (Bible and Torrah), rather than being hell bent on jihad and coversion of non muslims and death to those who refuse.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Yes Andre, this is your Islam!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I chose not to persecute gays for wanting to be gay and assimilate in to society. My wife reminds me that it is rude of me to think that all gays would even find me attractive any way. What do I care if gays want to co-exist among our society. I won&#39;t have a problem, unless you try to molest my family, then no jail will be able to protect you from this former Marine!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If I am labled a RINO...then I didn&#39;t leave the party, the party left me....I am just adjusting to modern times. Republicans and evangelicals need to adjust and be more accepting. You can still be a conservative, just stop the hate.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Jon Elrod is like me. I associate with his politics. I despise the far left, but am willing to work with Dems to better the causes that affect all americans.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Polarization is killing this country, and it is time the far right and the far left get there act together. The centrist from each party are going to have to save this country form itself.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If you want to stick lables of RINO and DINO, go right ahead. I am a christian and I a prgressive. Eric Miller does not have my family best interest in his agenda.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Please 7th voters, use your brains. Jon Elrod is the best guy for the job.
