Those sentiments, rather than being a lot of hot air, would be truthful and backed up by action. Civility means that the basic dignity and rights of each sovereign citizen is honored. Paternalistic and unconstitutional legislation would be swept aside so that those on the lower economic spectrum would have an opportunity to partake in the American dream of a free market of ideas, goods, and services. Lower taxes would mean that the working man would keep more of that which he earned and is entitled to. A private retirement fund would enable the working man to accumulate a lifetime of working capital, and then, pass it on as an inheritance.
Welfare programs function best at a local and State level and as private charity.
There's no greater social service than a job. Given the enemy Bush is confronting, and the degree by which their totalitarian agenda has already been established, we can expect incidents of ferocious political war in the future. These wars will be far more sophisticated than that pathetic spectacle of those motley, tie-dyed bums trying to disturb the inauguration. Every time a conservative emerges, he can expect a sickening barrage of hate and personal attack. We will, of course, never completely defeat the enemies of freedom.
