I'm a Christian, yep .perfect? No, not by far. Do I say and do things wrong? All the time. Yes I'm in the military too--so I think that also gives me a little room to talk about who I'd like to rum this country and what I think about talking heads as possible candidates.

Just quit while you are only behind a little.
