<p>Another voice from the “well, they do it too!” school of political discussion.</p>
<p>So we’re all screwing up. Not so comforting.</p>
<p>With the current administration, we have lost the moral high ground on so many issues. We used to lead the world - if not exactly by example, at least in ideals. But we’ve lost the high ground on human rights, on international cooperation, on the environment, on tolerance, on non-aggression, on scientific research, and on and on… Not only will we have an extremely difficult time getting this back, we’ll be too broke to do anything anyway in any of these areas.</p>
<p>It’s sadly funny that we elected this administration on “moral” issues, yet they’ve ****ed away every “high ground” area the US has stood for for years.</p>
<p>This is an open secret. The Kyoto is a joke.</p>
<p>I guess if you define the “moral high ground” to say one thing about the environment but do the opposite, then this administration clearly has ceded that “moral high ground” that was the bulwark of the Clinton/Gore administration.</p>
<p>i feel that bush is one of the most moral presidents. If any one has the high moral ground its president bush. He is one of the furst presidents to stop equating arab terrorism and the israeli response, and for that i greatly respect him. He draws no moral equivalence bw israeli defense forces and hamas, hezbullah, islamic jihad. While europe is crumbling under their muslim population from fear, bush is able to do whats rite.</p>
