Part Of America's Greatness Is Its Willingness

The Popular Culture Still Ridicules Religion And Often Treats It Like The Plague.

America Used To Have A Strong 'moral Safety Net' For Its People. Today That Net Is Badly Frayed, Not Only Because Families Are Disintegrating But Also Because The Church Doesn't Play The Same Role That It Once Did In Many Americans' Lives.

Republicans Rarely Criticize Obama For Lack Of Empathy - In Part Because Liberals Have Traditionally Been Seen As Standing Up For The Weak And The Vulnerable. Conservatives Can Be Just As Empathetic. But They Believe That, In Most Cases, It's Not Government's Role To Be The Primary Dispenser Of Empathy.

If Republicans Are Aiming For The Heart, For Compassion, The Last Thing They Should Do Is Abandon The Sanctity Of Life. Instead, They Should Tell Americans That They Believe In The Dignity And Value Of Every Human Being, From The Defenseless Unborn Child, To The Newborn With A Disability, To The 90-year-old Dealing With Dementia.

I'm Pro-death Penalty, But What I Have Not Seen Is Anybody That Would Mock Someone On Death Row.
