“In The Middle are Dead Cats and Skunks” - Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council

Over the past week, I have heard two different speeches urging moderates and the political middle to wake up and say something about the extremists.
Wow, I’ve never been called a dead cat or a skunk, but I do find it deeply offensive that the president of an organization that describes itself as a “Christian Organization promoting traditional values and the Judeo-Chrisitan value system” would say that about those of us in the middle.
That type of statement is absolutely not part of the Judeo-Christian value system that I know. I am a on the board of my local YMCA, which has its roots in evangelical Christianity and the values I embrace are theirs:
-
Caring: love; putting others before yourself.
-
Honesty: integrity; to tell the truth.
-
Respect: regard; to treat others as you would have them treat you.
-
Responsibility: duty; to what you should.
Perhaps Mr. Perkins, should go back to school and learn what Judeo-Christian values are. The time has come for those of us in the middle to speak up and stop the extremists.
