Let me be polite, you seem somewhat less than thoughful.

You cannot legislate or force morality upon people nor can you legislate or force acceptance upon people.

It has been tried several times recently and not worked.

I think the word you're looking for is fascism.

Thank you for being polite. I thought I was plenty thoughtful - but reasonable people are free to disagree.

No, but you can refuse to do business with or be friendly with those that don't accept a civilized society.

It has been tried several times recently and not worked.

Name ONE time in the history of the world when evil has not eventually been defeated by good.

I think the word you're looking for is fascism.

Wrong. The word I am looking for is "peace" - it is an impossibility while the majority of the world lives under repressive regimes, many supported in the past by OUR government.

All I am trying to say is that America needs to support the ideals that founded our Nation, while rigorously opposing governments that reject them. That's all. If while supporting these ideals we come under attack (a la 9-11) we should spare no mercy while dealing with the enemy, moral relativism and political correctness be damned.
