To: DiogenesLamp
The abandonment of Moral Absolutes by the Left is what has made the whole confusion: what is right is right, what is wrong is wrong, period. There are definite and enduring standards out there, and have been for well over 2000 years. The abandonment of those cultural and religious standards for 'if it feels good do it' and 's ituation ethics' has led to the corruption of generations who base morality on convenience, profit, and personal sensation more than a distinct standard. (Yes, there are greedy Leftists, too!--probably more of them.)

That corruption makes possible the sort of leftward movement which places the likes of John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey to the right of many Republicans today.

I agree that faux conservatives need to be exposed for what they are, and I fully expect to see more of them on TV and in print as the election cycle grinds on. The normal Ministry of Propaganda types are losing effect across the viewable spectrum (what does get exposure, generally from the interplanetary Left to the RINO herd) in the Mass Media.

As for what Liberals and Leftists think, for that matter, totalitarians of any stripe, It only matters to me in that it gives me insight as to how to defeat their nonsense.

Having seen what passes for right and wrong with that crowd, I am only concerned if they are in agreement with me.

Two premises ...

1. Many Christians take the point of view, of accepting others as they are ... hate the sin but love the sinner, and in our politically society it means do not judge, IT INDICATES TO MANY THEY ARE SIMPLY BEING CHRISTIAN TO NOT CRITICIZE, etc.

Of course we know they love the good life, living like Kings, (at expense of the people) and being honored, and esteemed. The result being they do not call others out because they all have a skeleton or two in their closet, too. It is a matter of degree. To lose face or even position is in NO WAY AS SERIOUS AS LOSING FREEDOM, LIBERTY, THE U.S.CONSTITUTION, our way of life, our laws, and allows the take over of Communism,or a Marxist form of operating, no matter what it is called.

2. Republicans have decided they do not like being in control. Too much heat. Too much trouble. They do not want the focus to be mainly on them. They like being in second place. MO
