I am concerned over our liberties, because groups have framed and formed their arguments which have political persuasion and power. This is the basis of our culture wars, and will be the demise of our rationality as a nation!
It was known that the Germans used experiments on the Jews, as they dismissed the Jew as worthy of "life". This is the case now for the Jew concerning Islam!
Gay rights activists seek to put their "tolerance messages" in our classrooms and religious groups seek to claim their rights, as well.
We are a diverse nation that was based on the principle of individual liberties. No one person had more power before the law, than any other. Now, groups demand tolerance, where our nation becomes a quadmire of differences of opinion and values of commitment. Groups have more power than individual voices. This should not be, unless tolerance gives us no right to judge or make determinations of any kind...about one's life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!
We need to dissolve powerful lobbyists and make a way back to the local, where voices are known, heard and understood, rather than enlarging to global interests and concerns that devalue our nation and demean our values of liberty!

CORRECTION: I said, "It was known that the Germans used experiments on the Jews, as they dismissed the Jew as worthy of "life". This is the case now for the Jew concerning Islam!"
Though true in a certain sense, I MEANT to say that "this the the case now for Islam, concerning the Jew"....
Who is the persecutor, and who is the persecuted. These questions are not so easily answered in today's postmodern world, as every group "has rights'. This is the danger of group identifications, because they struggle to get and maintain power over others...
