Honest answer to a reader's question
No snark, no smartassery. This is one of the finest responses I've ever seen to this kind of question.
Setup: The Charlotte Observer's Taylor Batten wrote a piece about "Honesty Day," which "requires" you to honestly answer a question if it is posed to you. (Sidebar: The Observer is a McClatchy newspaper.) He was asked: "Question? Why do you support such a liberal agenda? Remember you’re supposed to answer honestly."
It would have been easy to respond defensively ("We're not liberal!") or with much snark and smartass ("Here's why we're not conservative...") or, easiest of all, to just ignore it -- with or without the high drama and pearl-clutching. Instead, Batten and the Observer chose to respond with a simple, elegant, and perfectly thought-out response. I'm not easily impressed by this kind of thing. Batten's words did so. This will resonate with me for, quite probably, the rest of my days.
We believe that everyone is created equal.
We believe that children should not bear responsibility for the sins of their parents.
[...]
We believe people should not be treated as lesser citizens, with fewer rights, because of whom they love.
[...]
We believe discrimination is wrong in every instance.
[...]
We believe that police officers should act professionally, under incredibly difficult circumstances, regardless of a suspect’s race.
just a few to wet your whistle this is something you will almost never hear from the right wing however of late some republicans are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and it's not Heaven for them they are admitting truths that until now were staples in the republican things to lie about book. no person of moral fiber wants to be a footnote in history as one of those who hated and kept America in the dark.
it's shameful when those that are elected to serve you and your interest have become notorious for their propensity to lie that when they tell a truth you know to be correct you still question yourself as to it's legitimacy. that is the price of building a house on the foundation of deceit. tantamount to crying wolf too many times and now when you come clean we can't see it for the dirt left over from lies past.
