The moral gap between left and right is widening
American Thinker ^ | 17 Feb, 2023 | M.B. Mathews

The left have always leaned toward the elimination of restrictions on morality and personal behavior, up to and including in some cases pedophilia ("minor-attracted persons"), homosexuality, trans-sexuality, drag queenery, abortion, and pornography. Bestiality may well be next. It will be called "animal affinity" or something equally perverse.

By contrast, the right, generally speaking, has leaned toward moral guardrails, behavior moderation, decorum, and biblical living. These are two very different and separate worldviews.

The question is chicken-egg: do the people who love chaos, perversity, and libertinism gravitate toward the political and cultural left, or does leftism with its almost total lack of self-restraint create libertine individuals? Either way, the left-right moral polarization has created two Americas.

A good example of this split was seen at the Super Bowl halftime show, which was a lewd and disgusting unbridled display of narcissistic sexual exhibitionism broadcast throughout the country, even to the viewers who would much rather have seen a marching band or precision drill team. Many families turned off the halftime show either because they thought it disgusting or because they didn't want their children seeing lewdness saluted and mainlined into the American bloodstream. American decency lost out on Sunday.

I'm for a divorce between left and right, however that manifests, so long as their immoral imperatives don't affect my life, my health, or my tranquility. The problem is that the left is in its ascendency, affecting every level of the culture except maybe in Florida. God bless Ron DeSantis, who seems to be one of very few bright lights who are actively and passionately fighting against the left's moral decay in American culture. Our schools are riddled with woke transsexual advocacy, anti-white racism calling itself "anti-racism," and drag queen story hours glamorized by obese men with beards and sequins and false breasts

I hope the right learns to fight back. Adopt the rules of the left. Take the leftist men and transgender them and then take them and leftist women and sell them into sexual slavery in thirld world countries. Use the proceeds to pay off the US National debt.

The Left like to kill unborn children.
The Left likes assisted suicide for inconvenient old people.
The Left likes to perform medical experiments on the general public.
The Left likes to sexually mutilate children.

But this is balanced by the fact some people on the Right send mean tweets.

Without God there is no genuine morality or virtue. Only power.

The Left *is* without God.

No matter what position is taken on the Left, they cannot say it is right or wrong, but they can deem it so if they have power.

This is why Trans are fighting Gays are fighting feminists. The adhere to different virtues and rules, but lack the power to enforce A vs B, unless they get that power. And then they are totalitarian in their enforcement.

In Godless commununism or socialism, everything is permissible, but not everything is permitted. Dostoyevsky. (sp?)

People like to being the 60’s revolution, but since the 06 election the speed at which society has ‘progressed’ dwarfs that.

“I love goodness and hate evil. My favorite verse in the Bible is ‘Those of you who love God—hate evil’ (Psalms 97:10).”

From an article in National Review:
There is something about liberalism that is not nearly as true about conservatism. The further left one goes, the more one finds that the ideology provides moral cover for a life that is not moral. While many people left of center lead fine personal lives, many do not. And left-wing ideals enable a person to do that much more than conservative ideals do.

If a married — or even unmarried — conservative congressman had texted sexual images of himself to young women he did not even know, he would have been called something Anthony Weiner has not been called: a hypocrite.

Why? Because conservatives — secular conservatives, not only religious conservatives — are identified with moral values in the personal sphere, and liberals are not. Liberals rarely called Bill Clinton a hypocrite for his extramarital affair while president. George W. Bush would have been pilloried as such.

We need to fight back without sounding like a schoolmarm. If we can do that, we win.

The Rats prey on children and the unborn. Conservatives aim to protect them.

what is shocking is when I watch old movies that I thought at the time were fine... but upon watching them now I see they were absolutely bursting with subtle sexual references of every kind.

(just watched Greece yesterday and was shocked!!!)

I remember that as a teen as being a fun wholesome musical! many schools actually used to do it as a standard Senior Musical.

But WOW!!! I couldn’t believe the amount of subtle sexual references in that, when you actually start listening carefully to the words.

Bestiality may well be next.

No, they're currently busy legalizing rape, at least when the rapist is in a protected class.

“animal affinity”

This can be deadly. My friend learned about it, indirectly.

She had a very ugly poodle who would service anything and everything it could find. A cat, a possum, another male dog, a person’s leg, etc.

One day he saw something that caught his affections across the street, maybe a rabbit or something. Of course he started running across the street.

Too late, he didn’t make it. His libido got him killed.

There’s a reason we don’t do some things.

The left isn't happy until they can force everyone to be enlightened like they think they are, and any resistance multiplies their aggression.

They won't stop until they are made to.
