Overview
Overview
This book is about democratic values--what they are; their ethical foundation; and their personal, social and political implications. It describes how we have failed to support democratic values and presents what we must do to implement them. It contrasts democratic values with an age-old but widespread anti-democratic mentality that, for example, opposes gay rights and abortion rights, and that former president George W. Bush relied on to get public support for the invasion of Iraq. Democratic values must increasingly replace this anti-democratic mentality if democracy is to prevail and grow. The book explains that, unlike this anti-democratic mentality, democratic values are derived from the so-called golden rule when it is properly understood.
