I am a moderate and pragmatic Republican who will vote for anyone from any party who I think speaks common sense. I voted uneasily in the last election for ol' Bill Clinton, but hope to vote for Arizona Sen. John McCain for president in the year 2000. Why? An attitude of tolerance and inclusiveness is the reason, integrity and honor back in government the goal. I dislike Pat Buchanan, Jesse Helms, and Trent Lott as much as I dislike Jesse Jackson or Teddy Kennedy; the election of any of these dubious personages to the presidency would necessitate my moving to Finland. Sen. McCain's recent denunciation of the fundamentalist Christians who comprise the right wing of the Republican Party, for example, made me conclude this was a politician after my very heart! On February 28, 2000, McCain said the following: "Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right." That sums it up nicely
There is a shrillness and stridency to those who would wage "cultural jihad" in the name of their vision of America, and it bodes ill for a nation whose pragmatism and ability to build consensus have yielded a political stability rare in modern times. Let's take the relatively few religious wackos on the far right and the "race-class-gender" bozos on the extreme left and let them yell at each other -- ignored by the rest of the population. Disagreement among ourselves is neither a vice nor a source of weakness; however, caustic incivility and dogmatic intolerance in the public discourse are poison to a democracy. In my opinion, too many people yell at each other in the United States today. People yelling at each other solves nothing. "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." John Adams
