We don't need to change our values

[ck4829]

Many RW'ers want us to change our values. I have even seen something which said the American people now believe that Progressivism is a failure (of course it was from a RW'er).

NO. That is what they want us to do. I would rather we lose in elections than change our values. You see, when we change our values, that means they want us to become like them. And that means we have truly lost.

What we need to do:

Vote Reform

Turn the 2nd of November into a National Holiday

We have to become more inclusive to everybody

1. I can not figure this out

My father and Mother had the same values as I have and they were Republicans and I am a Dem. I have a friend that is the same age and has the same problem.All 6 of us voted for Ike. So why am I and my friend Dem? Our parents are all now dead, as we are both old. Is it us or has the GOP changed its values.

2. This is not your fathers GOP

The repubs were at one time a party of fiscal restraint and so called common sense. Yes, they have indeed changed their so called values. At one time, they did not feature far right "Christians" and other one time fringe groups. As recently as Gerald Ford, the repubs wwere not as far right as they are now. But when Bill Clinton legally took office, they had to mobilize and fight back. The governmaental takeover is complete and the media takeover is nearly complete so nobody will ever inform the public about all the misdeeds of these people. Nixon tried, but got busted. And even he wasn't as far right as the current administration. As far as values, my parents, Democrats both, instilled REAL values in us, like tolerance, love for your fellow man, following the ten commandents(no static people. It is a good set of guidelines), and just generally knowing right from wrong. I have tried to instill those values in my children and hope they try with their children. No, the reubs are now ruled by one time fringe groups and will be until we, the people, boot them out.
