Mark Stewart on Principles & Values | |
A: True tolerance says we should not stifle devout people who want to express their devotion to God or attempt to glorify God.ÿ Private displays on public grounds are not offensive; towns and states should let displays go forward.ÿ A creche or a menorah displayed for a month in city hall is in no means an attempt to establish religion.ÿ That's what the First Amendment proscribes, but even our most active zealots are nowhere near doing that.I am a Jew who is proudly attending Christmas tree lighting ceremonies.ÿ I believe the Ten Commandments should be taught in middle school, at least as part of "Civics".ÿ If a school is going to teach sex ed, its students should know the 7th, 8th and 9th Commandments.
If I make it to the White House it's because Americans see in me a warrior for better democracy. So my priority is to keep the people vigilant. I will point out where congress and bureaucrats and regulators are trying to dis-serve American interests. I will use the VETO power to assure this.
I will cultivate new candidates for Congress and State House sets through The Resistance (www.weResist.us), the organization I founded to help grass-roots candidates.
And I will work to WAGE PEACE, letting American students, firms, families and orgs suffuse the receptive world to American goodness.
