A Return to America's Values - By Jimmy Carter (Blogging at Kos)
Jack Carter - A return to America's Values
by Jimmy Carter

Thu Mar 23, 2006 at 08:34:58 AM PDT

There is a desperate need in America to block and reverse the radical departures from the moral and ethical principles that have made ours a great nation.

This is not a conflict between liberals and conservatives or even between Democrats and Republicans. The unprecedented changes in policy are from those of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, Dwight Eisenhower, and also, of course, from those of Democratic presidents.

These changes involve the most basic aspects of America's moral values: peace, human rights, justice, the environment, fiscal responsibility, respects for the civil rights of Americans, the honoring of international commitments, separation of church and state, and the control of nuclear weapons.

2.  A return to America's values - never fully attained, but quickly...
slipping away from the intended foundation of the United States of America.

3. That's the Right Message to Get the Country Back
and Jimmy Carter has the history and credibility to pull it off. Now I wish other Democrats would do the same.
