What is wrong with that?  Ymu post this as if it is obvious from just
quoting him.  What is wrong with what Mr Buchanan said?

<But there are differences.  I sometimes think that the
<liberals are always so angry because they believed the
<grandiose promises of the liberation movements.  They're
<disappointed because most women do not wish to be liberated
<from their essential natures as women.  Most of us love
<being mothers or wives, which gives our lives a richness
<that few men or women get from professional accomplishments
<alone.  Nor has it made for a better society to liberate men
<from their obligations as husbands or fathers.

<Marilyn Quayle

What is wrong with that?

<In a nutshell: I believe the lawless social anarchy which we saw is
<directly related to the breakdown of family structure, personal
<responsibility, and social order in too many areas of our society. For
<the poor the situation is compounded by a welfare ethos that impedes
<individual efforts to move ahead in society, and hampers their ability
<to take advantage of the opportunities America offers.
<
<Dan Quayle (the LA Riot speech that did nto mention race once)

What is wrong with that?

<Today, more than ever, the traditional family is under assault. 
<We believe our laws should reflect what makes our Nation
<prosperous and wholesome:  faith in God, hard work, service to
<other, and limited government.
<
<     Just as spiritual principles -- our moral compass -- help
<guide public policy, learning must have a moral basis.  America
<must remain neutral towards particular religions, but we must not
<remain neutral toward religion itself or the values religion
<supports.  Mindful of our country's Judeo-Christian heritage and
<rich religious pluralism, we support the right of students to
<engage in voluntary prayer in schools and the right of the
<community to do so at commencements or other occasions.  We will
<strongly enforce the law guaranteeing equal access to school
<facilities.  We also advocate recitation of the Pledge of
<Allegiance in schools as a reminder of the principles that
<sustain us as one Nation under God.

<(also a stance against abortion that was edited for the net)
<
<Republican Platform

What is the problem here?

<    The people of Eastern Europe got rid of their left wingers, it is
<time we in America got rid of our left wingers!
<
<    George Bush's vision for America, ladies and gentlemen, is one of
<faith in God, strong families, freedom, individual initiative, and
<free enterprise. 
<
< He wants to repeal the ban on homosexuals in the military and
<appoint homosexuals to his administration.
<
<until we honor the elderly and protect the unborn child in its
<mother's womb
<
<Pat Robertson

I don't agree with the military's policy on homosexuals, but other than
that, what is the problem here?


I don't agree with everything above, or everything the people above
have said, but although you didn't say it here, I take from other
things you've posted, that ym> think the above people are hate-filled
bigots, and that the above quotes are examples of that (if that's not
it, then I apologize).  Well, I'm against bigotry as much as anyone,
but I don't see it here or in these people.  If it is so clear, explain
it to me.  Exactly why is it that the issues above aren't legitimate
issues?
