1. Insinuation? More info please, need to discuss. n/t

2. I think it is an implication of the so-called "values voters"

and the whole "moral values" discussion. Branden has been discussing values for over 40 years. He was talking about values, and developing a rational system of ethics long before 'values' was a political buzz-word.

I did not click thru the link, because I thought the quote stood on it's own...but I am going to go to his site and see what he's been up to lately.

3. I don't think that's necessary topical, but more philosophical in nature.

You know, just to discuss while the suspense is killing some of us. :P

I aim that question square at the righties and kool-aid drinkers specifically, but at all of us and our values in general.

We could expand it even further and question, "What does 'American' mean these days?"
