Why Political Civility.com
My hope is that this blog will be different from other “politically” oriented blogs. The focus here will be on prinicples, solutions and furthering constructive political dialogue. Personal attacks will not be posted. Well reasoned, principles arguments will always be welcome. My hope is that we will listen to each other, learn from each other, and because of our interaction become better citizens in the process. Honesty is a key. There will be no anonymity. Anonymity leads to incivility and shows a lack of courage to stand up for one’s beliefs.
To that end, here are the principles through which I look at the political landscape:
- Limited government as the best form of government
- Religion as the moral compass of a free people
- Family as the fundamental unit of society
- Personal responsibility as the basis of self-government
- Free markets as the engine of economic prosperity
- Charity as the wellspring of a caring and healthy community
- Private property as the cornerstone of economic freedom
I welcome your posts, your input, your principled view be it different than mine or the same.
Welcome aboard!
