THE SUMMIT OF VOTERS VALUED

            This
past week, a politically conservative group called the “Values Voters”, held
their summit, and so they called it the Values Voter’s Summit and all those vying for the Republican
presidential nomination attempted to make the ascent.  We at the Faux truly value values, especially
the valuable ones and on that values thing, would like to offer some
perspective of our own.  Nowadays at
least, virtually all political camps, from far right conservatives to far left
liberals, support certain freedoms and the values they represent as a “given”
though in the struggles of their time, they were not given but had to be
taken.  The abolition of slavery,
securing women’s right to vote, and preserving access to all that is America without
regard to religion or race, among many others, and the values that inspired
them, were anything but unanimous back in the day.  And to be historically fair, conservatives of
those times    r   e   s   i   s   t   e   d      e   v   e  r  y   o  n  e    of these changes though by consensus they do
accept them today.  So here’s our rub,
does anyone every wonder at these “summits” what are they against today, that they
will readily accept as self evident down the road, kind of an “Historical Values
Voter’s Summit”.  That would be a
discussion truly worth a trip up the mountain, for again, values that
historically and morally prove to actually be valuable.
