“BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.”
Where were these principles over the almost 8 years of George W. Bush ?
Instead our personal freedom has been reduced and replaced by fear. We have lost respect and honor throughout the world.
“BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.”
Equal justice and equal opportunity for all?
Where did the George W. Bush administration show equal justice, when hundreds of people are still detained in Guantanamo without any legal rights under laws created by the administration itself to give them the right?
Do Americans pay equal taxes on their income or do the wealthiest pay a little less because the Republicans think that all means all the wealthy American have equal justice and equal opportunity for all?
I don't want to discuss the republican view on their same sex ideology here but it also shows how Republicans interpret their principles of equal rights regardless of sex.
"BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity."
Free enterprise in the US capitalism has led us to the worst crisis since 1930s.
The free-market administration has diminished economic growth and prosperity.
The George W. Bush administration has encouraged the principle of no governmental oversight or involvement, which has given the investors a blank check to do whatever they thought leads to growth and (their own) prosperity.
So where did the George W. Bush administration follow its next principle?
"BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn."
The George W. Bush administration followed the principle to allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn. Consequently this principle was only applied to the CEOs and corporations such as Exxon-Mobil. They have kept more of their money the earned.
What about the rest of the Americans?
I could continue on and on.
However, I think I made my point!
Think and not just recite whatever you hear!
Think and not just recite whatever you hear!
