Lack of Character

Submitted by R.D.J. (United States), Dec 31, 2002 at 11:21

Leaders of "character" such as Bush, Reagan, J.F.K., F.D.R. do what's right for "our" country, because as our country leads other countries follow us to becoming better countries. This is what confuses liberal's. They rely on what's popular, not what's right for "our" country. They lack character. A clear example is the 8 years of a Democratic President. Everything was based on polling results. I do not expect liberals to understand this line of thought, because even though they are "liberals" they are not open minded.
Liberal's talk the talk but don't walk the walk. You are more likely to meet an open minded Republican. This is confusing to a lot of people, especially students. To many it is assumed that if you are open minded you are Liberal, but they display just the opposite. Every comment, book or news article expresses their left-winged narrow mindedness. Don't be fooled by their hype, swallow their load. Stop allowing their emotionally based rhetoric to confuse you and look at the facts before you form a hypothesis (or vote).
Our school systems create lack of character and lack of taking "personal responsibility" by the "blame America first" liberal teachers. As a parent it is our right and our duty to guide our children to become good responsible parents. What we do each day creates the future for our children. Where we send our children for education will have a big impact. Vouchers would help a lot of families have a choice, but the Demcratic Party opposed it (they get a lot of money from the unions). It is disgusting to myself , a member of the "working class" ,who is open minded but clearly not a Liberal, to see the slow destruction of our great country.
This country was built by working people that wanted a better life for themselves and their families. not social programs. Social programs create dependence, not quality of life. Every social program is payed for by the responsible working tax-payer.
How much more of you hard earned pay-check can you afford to give? Remember that at election time!
Thank you D.P. You are an important professor, who's factual information is desperately needed expressed in the liberal media.
