Below is my response to one of those mass e-mails regarding politics...it stated that the Bush Administration is responsible for the erosion of our Constitutional rights. Below was my reply.
I think it is too much to say the Bush administration is responsible for the erosion of our rights. They have been eroding for years. The incoming hero will always end up the stooge for the next incoming hero. It's a merry-go-round. It will never be fixed in 4-8 years because it
took longer than that to screw up. Personally I think the rapid decline began with Roe v. Wade, when we decided that some persons were created equal and some didn't count. I believe that the devaluing of one life based on the feelings, needs, economics, etc. of another person is today what slavery was in its day. I believe fast-moving erosion came with that decision; when right and wrong became so "subjective" - and brutal murder began being hailed merely a "choice". Then began the mad washing away of the clarity between right and wrong, taxing and stealing, governing and oppressing. It's all "subjective". It's all "politically correct". Nothing is considered worse nowadays than to say anything that might offend another person or culture or choice or behavior - but HEY some persons and cultures and choices and behaviors are WRONG. Not DIFFERENT, folks - WRONG. The inability to define - the illegality of defining it now - THAT is erosion.
Defending principles was a responsibility, and our freedoms the privilege that came with upholding the responsibility. Now our freedoms are going the way of our principles - they are subjective.
So - I vote Pro Life. To clear the problem out from its root, we must get to the root and start over. Protect LIFE, then promote LIBERTY, and then PURSUE HAPPINESS.
