<br /><br />In my opinion, the likes of the NEA and the ACLU have caused this nation to become more secularized. As such, the "vast public ethic" has drifted toward the party that most represents "anything goes" ie the democrats. <br /><br />For the first time in history the two parties have come to represent the chuched (republican) and the unchurched (democrat). That has never existed before. Traditionally the Dems and Repubs were about equally churched. As that shift occurs we have seen tighter elections so comparisons of popularity, with yesteryear, do not hold today.
<br />most recent has to be Ronnie, right?<br />only problem here is that "polls" weren't taken<br />(or concerned with) for too many years...The New Deal was a mainline shoot in the arm of communism. It laid the ground work for the redistribution of wealth that have been the drowning stone around the neck of every American citizen.<br /><br />You can argue who did more damage to the memory of America that we all fantasize about, Wilson or FDR. They were both evil entities.<br /><br />Or did I get the wrong Roosevelt, again.
Ahem, Elmer. And what was it that kept this nation from being as 'profane' as it has become?<br />And as far as 'tolerance' goes, I guess it depends on what your definition of tolerance is. If you mean tolerance of pornography or tolerance of taking the lives of millions of our potential citizens then you are right.<br /><br />If you are suggesting that we are more tolerant racially or genderwise I think that you have your head in the sand. This nation is purposefully being systematically Balkanized regardless of the lip service that the Liberals give to the subject. As far as gender tolerance goes, maybe you ought to check divorce rate statistics or take a close look at the incredible number of kids that are underattended by the family (playing out the roles in Lord of the Flies). <br /><br />If you think that tyranny by the few, when it comes to anti-religion (esp. Christianity), is any form of tolerance you are misguided. <br /><br />This nation has never been at such odds as it is today. The Liberals have become the master of George Orwells "double speak" and you have fallen victim to it!
Just go with the flow, Bobingardner. You don't have to do anything. The liberal way is the easy way. Doesn't take too much critical thought. No such thing as tough love or right or wrong. You don't have to ascribe to any certain morality. You can sleep with whomever you please, he or she or who knows. You get to come up with solutions to problems(some that aren't even really problems) and it doesn't matter whether they work or not, just whether they sound caring. You have the choice to keep or kill little babies. You get to decide whatever suits your conscience. You know, whatever floats your boat, this week.<br /><br />Oh and lest I forget, you'll never have to stand your ground and fight a war. You can talk your way out of it. It's only mean people who fight wars and mean people suck.<br /><br />Stick a flower in your cap and enjoy!
