How do we ‘fix the moral character of this nation’ at the ballot box?
These are battles that need to be fought, but not all at once and not all on the same battlefield.
By talking about it? By making discussions about morality and right and wrong a part of the everyday political discourse?
What your want to do is exactly the opposite, let’s stop talking about it and just tell people to count their coppers. Well I have news for you, people who are only interested in counting coppers will run from you the moment the other side promises another spending bill that will put coppers into their wallet. Sure they might support some tax cuts, but they’ll never support for less spending, do you really think those who are willing to murder the next generation are going to have to much of a troubled conscience over stealing from them?
On this, you and I agree. Not sure we agree in the application, but for certain on the principle.
