People have lost what this nation was built on. I think our core values have been set aside... I believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.
I think right now we need to look back at the founding values of our country. Rise above partisanship, be less bitter when it comes to important matters that have to be solved.
And I think we as a people need to stop being disingenuous about what the Constitution provides for. It does not provide for this all-encompassing power that we've seen exercised over the last several decades. It's what's gotten us into this bankrupt position.
Values unrelated to modern reality are not just electorally hopeless, the values themselves become devalued. They have no purchase on the real world.
We need to rekindle those values, those strengths as a nation and as a people... And we must do so as one people with one goal.
The values and voices of democracy are silent. Either we have lost touch with those values or, no better, believe they need not or cannot be taught.
A lot of attention has been going to social values - abortion, gay rights, other divisive issues - but economic values are equally important.
The United States has a responsibility to defend our values.
I think we have lost track of a core Republican principle of limited government and balancing budgets and restraining federal spending. We have got to change the system.
From the beginning of our history the country has been afflicted with compromise. It is by compromise that human rights have been abandoned.
