Dear Ms Brown,
Thank you for the great article. Obviously you are not a graduate of the ASU-Cronkite School of Journalism. You can still find love and reverence for what America stands for and not spew the Liberal...."What Wrong With America" ...rhetoric that is so prevalent to today's young Columnists (or should I say..."Fifth Columnists"). Keep up your great work in motivating America's youth. So many Columnists seem to have forgotten that they are Americans at all. They look at the "Global World". They want us to become another "Greece" with only the wealthy paying taxes and the local, state and Federal Government worker base bloated by sky-high wages, benefits and pensions. When the "well runs dry"...they riot and strike...just like the "Occupy Wall Street" anarchist mobs we are seeing in many of the Democrat run cities here in America.
If someone is smarter than us = do we strip them of their grades ???
If someone is better looking than us = do we make them less handsome or beautiful ???
If some one has a nicer house than us = do we make them move to the ghetto ???
If some one drives a nicer car than us = do we force them to sell it and buy a clunker ???
Then why should someone who is making more money than us = be forced to pay a "surcharge" on "X" amount of wages or income ???
Folks, that didn't work in Red China, it didn't work in Stalinist Russia, it isn't working in Communist Cuba or Venenzuela.....then why in the heck would President Obama and the Democrats think that ......taking money from wealthy people and giving it to poor people is going to work here in America.
We are a Capitalist Society...not a Socialist Society.....maybe President Obama, the Democrats in Congress and the "Occupy Wall Street" mob should read the...Constitution of the United States..........instead of ...Mao Tse Dong's..."Little Red Book".

I'd really like to know what "traditional values" are. If they are the, 'Don't Tread on Me" values that made the American Revolution, they haven't been around or respected since the 1930s. If they are the Libertarian values that forced people west of the Mississippi, they died in the early 1900s. Religiously are they the Deism of our founders, the Calvinism of the majority in the early years, the "secular city" of modern days, or maybe a religion founded here like Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons or Christian Scientists. The problem with polls is that ambiguous questions get ambiguous answers.

Traditional values=Liberty, justice, equality, fairness, and tolerance, and the pursuit of happiness. All of these are classical liberal values held by Thomas Jefferson, John Locke, Adam Smith, John Keynes, Milton Friedman, FDR, and Reagan etc. We all know what these values are, Ms. Brown. They are not exclusive to only certain groups of people.

Hey Gyges.
Care to wager a bet that Ms. Brown's definition of "traditional values" is not even similar to the values you listed?
I'll start with 5 dollars. ;)

What values she talking about then? I hope she is not talking about the traditional values of apartheid, slavery, property requirements for suffrage, not letting women vote, or the other values the Founding Fathers blessed us with. I like my list better.

While I find that I am strangely drawn to Ms Brown's blog, I also find that I know what it is she is going to yammer on about in ...about 10 seconds , which is exactly how much time it takes for me to blow through her rants since her conclusions, which are always far fetched, are based upon the same right wing, fundamentalist tripe she has always been spewing...the same sophomoric drivel she's been espousing since...well, since she was a sophomore in high school.
