“Can we not see the political Right and Left in the same light?”
No
The only realistic means to raise values among the people is religion. And by far the best religions for that purpose are Judaism and Christianity.
“Social justice” is NOT something that can ever be achieved by the communist inspired leftists. It inevitably fails, and turns into dictatorship of the masses by one sort of politburo or another.
We need to work together, Christians and Jews, Catholics and Protestants, agreeing to disagree on many matters but united on such matters as the right to life, family values, real marriage, and so forth.
I work on a major military base and I have a guy that is constantly in my face about this election because he knows how I voted. (Trump)
He’s a hardcore lefty and I think becoming unhinged
Its getting weird this guy is off in far left field
As evidenced by the past almost two years, more openly than EVER BEFORE, this nation is extremely divided and only a complete catastrophe ( something like the crazed Muslims taking over this nation and killing ALL of those whom they hate and completely subjugating the rest ) will unify use as we once were.
Report him to the highest power you can, but leave out WHO you voted for.
Let’s face it. We’re Americans. We love to fight. So, no.
Document. Maintain your situational awareness. Watch yourself going to and fro and leaving the base. Know his license plate number.
I know Shmueli Boteach personally, and I will attest — he is off the wall. His heart is in the right place, but he needs to have his head examined.
He tends to contradict himself while talking at you. Unity of values — what values do these liberals have? They basically want total freedom from any moral or civic responsibility. They want to do their own thing and have everyone accommodate them.
Only in a faith-based culture can people have the same values. It may not have to be the exact same religion, but at least an acknowledgment of moral authority.
This is impossible with liberals, each of whom has created his/her/its (tranny) own mini-world that would put STAR WARS to shame.
I tell my family that whenever someone starts spouting off 'values' as if this is some worthy and admirable quest to devote oneself to, start walking away. It's not values we need, it's virtues. I love this quote by Archbishop Charles Chaput... "Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant; then it tries to silence good."
“Archbishop Charles Chaput... “Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant; then it tries to silence good.”
I love that guy. I wish DJT would start spending an hour a week with him.
“Is it religion? No. Not just yet.” Wrong. The correct answer is Yes, religion, the Christian religion where the Lord rises from the dead and renews the face of the earth, something that atheists reject.
The “division” between the millions of patriots who love American and the few crazies who love abortion is shallow. A few years of Trump and a few weeks away from Obama and Clinton will clean up the culture and chill out the crazies who just want to see cool fireworks on July 4th anyway.
That togetherness lasted less than 2 weeks and within a few months Hillary Rotten Clinton was shouting on the floor of the Senate that "Bush KNEW!".
Conspiracy theories about Jews, explosives, and remote control planes went on and on.
Bill Maher said the hijackers weren't cowards.
The feminazi marchers last weekend were united by a pro-Sharia Islamist who believed Saudi Arabia offered a better way for women than the USA.
If anything unites their position it is anti-Westernism, don’t bother debating or discussing issues with them. The outrage is the message.
We could have respectful and even productive disagreements if we held the same premises and were just arguing over conclusions. The problem is socialism and classical liberalism (aka American conservatism) are built on opposite premises, which makes compromise and mutual respect nearly impossible.
What’s really galling about the whole thing is that it never should have been this way. Socialism is an alien ideology that should never have been able to take root here. The Declaration is all about natural rights and the Constitution is about limited government. Combined they amount to a neon sign saying “No Socialism Here”. Yet here we are up to our gills in a struggle against friggin socialism.

I appreciate his sentiment.
Exactly right. He says that “values” rather than religion can unite Americans, and then he goes on to give a list of principles that are essentially religious.
I love you and miss you. Please come home. All is forgiven.
Thank you, dear. Have some coffee!
