perhaps you can answer a question I have about your boy, Dubya.
I was a McCain man Karen...
And he probably would have been far more hawkish in other ways than Bush, namely with defense spending.
Effectively, what I perceive is that Clinton has tried to coerce this nation in a direction that many don't wish it to take. Certainly, not at this rapid a rate.
The debate over abortion is probably one of the most controversial of these. But even Bush says that he won't seek to overturn Roe v. Wade. Rather Bush's approach is NOT TO CHANGE THE LAW, BUT TO CHANGE PEOPLE'S HEARTS.
We cannot legislate morality... However, we can seek to curb the excesses so that they don't disrupt the fabric of our society, or our families. That's how I see the difference between reasonable tolerance of liberal "values" and trying to dictate morality.
I'm certainly no fan of the so-called "moral majority". But then again, I can rationally see why they are so offended by what they perceive as the "immoral minority" foists their "values" on vital public institutions.
For example, do you wish to have your children exposed to the intimate details of an alternative sexual lifestyle, especially at a time when they are still attempting to come to grips with the fact that they have hormones?
Well, in Boston the Massachusetts Dept of Education engaged in just such a seminar, where children as young as 12 years of age were taught about "fisting"...

Now, I have to ask folks... what kind of self-respecting person would permit this kind of conversation around young impressionable children?
They way I kind of look at the world, it is tough enough to raise a child with good moral, or religious values, and have them retain them in the face of a immoral world, I figure we shouldn't need to train them when they're young.
In sum, it is far more important to instill good values at an early age, even if they get confused or forgotten later on in life.
There is just no reason to screw kid's lives up even worse at such a young age.
A vote for Bush was more than likely a vote for some basic common sense when it comes to social values.
After all, it is what this nation was built upon and before we act too quickly to discard them, or permit them to be subverted, maybe we'd better think real hard.
The very fact that the Liberal bastion of Massachusetts permitted such a discussion to go on is a clear sign of what they would like us to teach in EVERY SCHOOL..
Besides, Bush understands the crux of education, namely accountability and assuring that children are armed with the basics, reading, writing, and arithmetic, to include a return to phonics.
