New Values-Based Website For Centrist Democrats: "American Democrat /
Democratic Centrist"
Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director of LoveAllPeople.org, announces a new
website for Centrist Democrats, "AMERICAN DEMOCRAT / Democratic
Centrist," located at www.americandemocrat.net and
www.democraticcentrist.com.
The stated purpose of this website is "to prepare the Democratic Party
to govern the Country once again," by presenting "a comprehensive,
coherent, unified set of broad policies and strategies which will
prepare us to win our elections and to govern well after we have
regained power."
These "broad strategies and policies" are:
(1) Capture and hold the high moral ground. - "Always seek to know the
truth, wherever it may lead."
(2) Always try to achieve "The Greatest Good For The Greatest Number,
With Basic Rights For All." APPLY THIS RULE TO ALL POLICIES.
(3) Marginalize both the Ultra-Right and the Ultra-Left. Govern from
the Center.
(4) Isolate and expose Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld and their Ultra-Right
supporters.
(5) Co-operate with moderate Republicans to get things done; but
strongly oppose the Ultra-Right.
(6) After we regain control of Congress, re-establish a bi-partisan
foreign policy, based on "The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights"
and justice for all people.
(7) After we regain control of Congress, de-authorize the war in Iraq,
and withdraw immediately and completely, allowing the Iraqis to run
their own country.
(8) Oppose unregulated "Free Trade" and "Predatory Capitalism" at home
and abroad.
The major areas of policy considered include - TERRORISM - WEAPONS OF
MASS DESTRUCTION - PROMOTING DEMOCRACY, PEACE, AND SECURITY - OUR
MILITARY FORCES - ENERGY - DISASTER PREVENTION AND RESPONSE - JOBS AND
EMPLOYMENT - DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH AND INCOME - HEALTH CARE -
EDUCATION - THE ENVIRONMENT, and - THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY.
"Ideas rule the world," says McGinnis. "There is a huge competition of
ideas going on now in this country and throughout the world. And the
stakes are very high. The ideas which prevail will largely determine
the future of the world. We hope to develop and present some of the
very best ideas here, at this website."
Blessings to you. May God help us all.
Rev. Bill McGinnis

If this is 'moderate', your brain is having problems. Better get it
checked at a brain doctor.

Not "moderate," (whatever that is) but "centrist," which means in the
center of a continuum. Within Democratic party thought, my positions
are centrist. Regarding free trade, the left would desire to disrupt
the free traders, the right would accept them, and the center wants to
regulate trade, making it "fair trade." With the idiot war in Iraq,
the left wants to impeach and imprison Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld, the right
wants to "stay the course over the waterfall," and the center wants to
get out now. Regarding corporations, the left wants to eliminate
private ownership, the right wants no restrictions whatsoever, and the
center wants wisely-regulated capitalism, in the public interest.
Unregulated capitalism always screws everybody, eventually, except the
largest investors, who wind up owning everything.
Blessings to you.
