Bill-

If President Bush suggested that people should buy securities ONLY to buoy
the market, he was mistaken;  our economic strength is based on practical
market forces, and will stabilize without synthetic influences.  By the way,
LOTS of "Wall Streeters" are Liberals, and will ignore government-defined
"civic values" with the best of them!

However, Sooprize, Sooprize!!  I disagree with you about "Civic Values".  In
referring to Patriotism, as an example, your statement:

	"Conservatives will have difficulty in employing civic
	values effectively after 25 years of trying to undercut them.",

you ARE kidding, right??

Recent decades have seen significant deconstruction by Liberals of the
values our country was founded upon, and patriotism is only one example.
Note how the leftist California Rep. Barbara Lee, in Chamberlainesque
fashion, has refused to join every other U.S. Representative in support of
defending our country against murderous attacks on our people and freedoms.

Even twenty years ago, we would never have imagined that Liberal ideologies
and PC NewThink could motivate an employer to suspend an employee for
displaying the American flag, or a public school official to forbid kids to
display a patriotic slogan for fear of 'offending foreign students'.  There
are countless examples of how our traditional values, "civil" and moral,
have been corrupted by the moral relativism that is promoted by most Liberal
groups.

In summary, Liberals and Conservatives differ mainly because:

Liberals believe a strong, centralized Government should impose their
definition of "Civic Values" on The People;

Conservatives tend to trust the people, as individuals, to act according to
their own decisions, thus deriving a more democratic consensus on "civic
values".
