Conservative is opposite to Liberal, that I can deal with; yet a
person who has boldly demonstrated sympathy towards any group or cause
that created or promotes institutions of hate, misogyny and bigotry is
intolerable and I believe, as an American citizen, no one should allow
even the slightest semblance of hate propagation to take root. I was
thrilled to see the outpouring of opposition to the new administration
during the inauguration on 1-20-01 with the protesters and "shadow
inauguration" led by the Reverend Al Sharpton and the Ashcroft
nomination press many publications, newspapers and websites have and
are keeping the public informed on. As Americans, we
are protected and ensured by the Constitution and laws that had begun
to spread globally, jolted by the efforts of concerned
individuals and legitimate organizations that produced logical and
favorable outcomes. We had made monumental progress, many throughout
the world had begun to co operated and our influence was supported by
an ultra intelligent and savvy Clinton administration - Democracy is
its purest form. Now, with a Republican dominant atmosphere and an
increasing regressive slant, many Third World countries will believe
that without the United States support, their backward traditions and
dogmas will continue and many war and human rights criminals will
go unpunished. We must continue to assist developing pro-democratic
Third World countries, flex our super-power muscle in the West and
compromise with the multicultural/many faceted/ all-inclusive world of
the 21st Century in order to continue progressing !
