13. I don't SUBscribe to anything RW, but I do AScribe to a few
things that are called RW, but which I don't really think they have the corner on:

Marriage and commitment -- and I don't care if you are gay or straight, I believe in marriage, family, children and committed relationships. I believe casual uncommitted sex demeans us as human beings.

Self-Respect and modesty -- especially for us female types. I know it's old fashioned, but I still believe that female modesty and setting limits is what ensures male honor - always has always will.

Honesty, Responsibility, Accountability, admitting we make mistakes, apologizing and fixing, making amends and learning from our mistakes.

Humility, kindness, charity, patience, fidelity, loyalty and friendship!

Somehow, some way, these things are now associated with the RW in this country. Seems ironic, doesn't it? I believe most of us, the real moral majority in this country, no matter our politics, ascribe to most of these things. It's just that the RW thinks they have the corner on the morality market, and they have labeled us lefties immoral and degenerate.

As long as the rightees get away with touting this myth, the more divided of a nation we are. Those of us who still believe in real morality need to find our common ground and launch and debunk the myth that the RW have morals, while the libs do not!

Off my soapbox now,
JoMama.
