What is a "Christian" value as opposed to common values that all people hold?

I have expressed outrage over the way the JFK assassination was handled, but I don't see that as a "Christian" value, simply a human value of respecting life and being responsible to make sure the killers are brought to justice.

I have expressed outrage over the way the Box 13 scandal was ignored, but again, not a "Christian value" simply the human value of objecting to lying and cheating in Congress and the Senate.

I have expressed outrage over the way 911 was investigated, not a "Christian" value, but simply the outrage over the inept, ridiculous and insulting way they have investigated this and treated the American people.

I am quite concerned about the implications of the Snowden affair and the prosecution of the Wiki Leaks leader Asange.

My brother took the habeas corpus case to the Supreme court pro bono, again, not a Christian value, simply the human value of being offended at the abuse of the common man by the rich and powerful.

So enlighten us, what is Mitch McConnells crime against Kentucky? Help us all to find our way back to Jesus.
