Madam Speaker

Congresswoman 8th. District California


Madam Speaker, I listened with interest as you spoke of a civilized society. John Loke, the father of liberalism, thought 'tolerance' was necessary for a civilized society to continue as a civilized society and prosper as a free nation.

Tolerance, a liberal concept, that the Democrat Party is completely lacking. From being members and supporters of the Klan, to being members and supporters of the Race; from union thugs on the street, to political thugs on the college campus; from illiberal hacks in the media, to illiberal hacks in the education system, from the oppression of the Federal Government to the oppression of public employee unions, the Democrat Party shows a complete lack of understanding of what it takes to maintain a civilized society.

That is, the liberal concept of tolerance which is necessary for all citizens to exercise those 'natural rights.' Those natural rights found in liberalism that can not be granted nor denied by the state. Which, one is, that I alone may decide what is best for myself, as long I cause no harm to others. Yes, tolerance is absolutely necessary for a civilized society to continue and prosper as a free nation state. I hope you Madam Speaker, the President and Congress will keep this in mind when you feel the need to act as 'The Great White Father' taking care of all his children, at the expense of those liberal concepts so important to the founding of this nation state we call home.

And, as a last thought Madam Speaker, if you, the President or Congress feel this 'Great White Father Complex' overwhelming your common sense; please think of the Native Americans and reservations; think of black families in inner cities; think of single moms married to the government; think of the many family units without a real 'father' living in the household. Please just think.


With all due respect,


Lightfoot Letters
