Do Morals Matter? The Acorn Backlash On Conservatives
Team Sarah ^ | 09/14/09 | Bill Collier

Posted on 09/14/2009 4:33:50 PM PDT by Cecilia Trent

How far have we come in this nation that when fraud is uncovered, when taxpayer FUNDED organizations are found to be willing to collaborate in setting up a BROTHEL for under-age illegal immigrants from El Salvador and the “Attorney General” of a major US City actually threatens the people who uncovered the corruption?

We support LIFE, we support LIBERTY, and we support the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, in short, we support Human Dignity, and we know that immorality, corruption, and betrayal of common sense values, including protecting the life of the unborn and the sanctity of marriage, are the prime ingredients for seucity, freedom, and prosperity.

The recent case of ACORN being uncovered in its lack of ethics and morality, and its willingness to violate the law, is a graphic illustration of what happens when we pretend that morals do not matter.

I encourage you to go read Mark Tapstcott’s article in the Washington Examiner that will tell you all about this and then I encourage you to TAKE ACTION, to let this “Attorney General” know how you feel and to tell your congressman know that you demand better oversight of such organizations!

The article is here: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidentia...

Please tell others about this!

The only time morals matter to the other side is when they think WE don’t have any: one of ours gets caught doing something evil as opposed to 100 of theirs. Ours is the larger “sin.”

I contacted my representative demanding he heed the call for ACORN to be investigated and demand immediately ceasing anymore federal funding for ACORN. I suggest everyone contact their representatives for the same reasons.

Do Morals Matter?

Not if you're a liberal or a democrat, in which case anything goes. Hollywood is a prime example. If it's raunchy and skanky, they bask in the glow of credit for it.

If one is a materialist, atheist,...morals, according to them do not exist, and therefore the question becomes a moot point. For that atheist, materialist to affirm a morality is to disclose their irrationality. For if they are declaring a code of morality, from whom do they ascribe as the Moral Lawgiver. Moral relativists are absolutely sure there are no absolutes, so they say. Like absolute truth, absolute values are undeniable, in fact, because he who denies absolute values, values the right to deny them.

The moral law is not always the standard by which we treat others, but it is nearly always the standard by which we expect others to treat us. It does not describe how we actually behave, but rather how we ought to behave.

Without Moral Law there would be no human rights, and there would certainly be no unalienable rights which we are endowed by our Creator. Without Moral law we would never know justice or injustice. Our Founding Fathers knew this and knew that the ultimate standard of morality or right and wrong would justify their cause, which is now our cause. Without this objective standard any objection to perceived evil is mere personal opinion. In fact without Moral Law no one would have any grounds for being 'for' or 'against' anything.

I think of the provincial impropriety of Jesus driving out the moneychangers. He did not offer an apology because he was justified by truth. Certainly Mr.Wilson is not Jesus but Wilson did tell the truth and that is ubiquitously asserted to in examination of the video and written record as well as HR 3200.

The ACORN matter is interesting in that few, if any, democrats have come forth and criticized the behavior of ACORN representatives and their recommendation. They have been silent on the subject, and thus declare their opinion. I wonder what they would say if Ms.Pelosi's daughter had exposed this purulent corruption, only to have ACORN and the Baltimore DA imply a threat of prosecution for these 2 children doing what seasoned jounalists should have done years ago.

Democrats have learned that if you throw out this, you can pretty much get away with anything.

Am I the only one who sees the irony, when African-Americans start to aid and abet slavery?

Human trafficking IS slavery.
