"Acknowledge values that made us great"
last updated: August 07, 2007 03:41:38 AM
Dear Kristopher:I understand and totally agree with your statement:
"This is simply a debate concerning whether or not we will acknowledge and respect the Judeo-Christian traditions and moral values that built Western civilization and made this country great."
Here's a quick run down of some of those traditional values that made this country great:
tolerance for those that don't agree with you, don't look like you, don't speak the same language as you, etc.
freedom of thought, worship and association
government not influenced by corruption through the largess of corporations
free and fair elections without "dirty tricks" of disenfranchisement or electronic voting fraud
habeas corpus rights for prisoners under American authority
warrants being required so government cannot be dictatorial and all aspects of government
have oversight
not invading a non-threatening country unilaterally without provocation (pre-emptively!)
I couldn't agree more, a return to the traditional and high moral values not shared by our President and current administration is absolutely and positively mandatory and I hope the American people take your words to heart when they next vote.
