Brownback Speaks to Catholic Business Leaders

From NaplesNews.com:

There’s deep concern in U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback’s eyes when he talks about rebuilding the American family.

That is, reinstating -- and instilling -- a kind of graciousness and humanity that has disappeared from interactions inside and outside the home. And inside and outside the nation.

A newly announced Republican presidential candidate, the Kansas leader was at the Naples Grande on Saturday to address Legatus, the organization created in 1987 for top-ranking Catholic business leaders.

Fundamental kindness and goodness is the thread that runs through any subject on which Brownback is asked to elaborate.

Acknowledging that he is strongly pro-life, Brownback stresses that Americans need to see each other in a more “human” way in all settings.

“Not just for the child in the womb ... but for the person in prison ... for the child in Darfur. I just don’t think we’re looking at each other as precious enough,” he said in an interview. “I know this may seem to be an abstract concept (but extends to) the way you look at the guy in the coffee shop, or in McDonald’s.

“Do you look through him just to get your cup of coffee, or do you look at him and see him?” he asked. “I think it’s a real problem for us.”

He practices what he preaches.
