why do we bend? :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by jim powell (United States), Feb 7, 2006 at 10:36

A thought enters my mind,If we bend we will eventually break. The things we do to try to appease the small groups that make big noise. Do I want a better healthcare system in the US,sure. As a southern Baptist I feel the same.I also feel that we react to pressure tactics by the small organizations all around the country that do not want to abide by my American way. It may be harsh but I would like to have a personal conversation with each person who does not want to live by the traditions of my America.
