The common sense manifesto

I am tired of all of the vitriol from left and right. So I figure I can come up with the platform most reasonable people can agree on:

- We agree that Guns should be kept legal, but not automatic assault weapons

- We disagree with the abortion, but we don't think the government should regulate it

- We are all for color blind equality, for EVERYONE

- We are all for separation of church and state, but see no harm in a prayer before class

- We don't like profiling, but we think people from Pakistan should be checked more carefully

- We are all for health coverage reform, if it actually changes something for the better

- We welcome immigrants from all over the world, as long as they come here legally

- We want government to help people, but we know that it can't help everyone

- We feel for the people who suffer, but we don't think someone else must always be responsible

- We want to help the world, but we know that the best we can do is look after our own interests

- We don't mind paying taxes for the services we receive, but we don't want it to be our biggest expense

- We agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but let's teach our children only facts

- We are all for clean environment, but not at any cost

- We don't like capital punishment, but it is the ONLY fitting measure toward some among us

- We don't care about your sexual preference, but don't want it thrust into our face

We can agree on this, can't we?

No we cannot agree. These leftist progressive views are the problem, not the solution. One Example: it is separation of church FROM state. Not separation of church and state. The purpose of the law is to keep the state from controlling the church. Not keep them apart, just to keep the state from being a control freak.
