Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

Bill Bennett President?

Don't bet on it.

But I do like the platform he is promoting.

One day when our leaders awaken items 1 and 4 will be more closely tied and properly worded.

Global War Against Islam including Saudi Arabia & other states and organizations with ties to terror.................

Islam is the greatest threat to world peace. How we are responding is our greatest error.

Moral clarity, my ass. His abortion plank is the same as Shillary's. F*** "reducing abortion." That was people who want to teach 8-year-old kids how to pet each other and how to condoms on bananas say. END abortion.

Too complex: 5 and 12 would effectively make all of the others happen.

He spent his own money. And repented.

Do you believe in forgiveness?

And no, I don't want him as a Pres, but he makes a lot of sense. One does not have to be perfect to be good.

Means that a TSA officer or other Federale can't be sued for civil rights violations for profiling Muslims as terrorists or certain racial groups as drug dealers, gang-bangers, or illegal aliens.
