“morally”

Hey, the leftist line.... don’t stuff your morality down my throat

Also I should add, leftists do not separate social and economic issues, to them they are the same thing.

Where are we to turn for the moral standard?

Can we look to the Bible?

1 Thessalonians 4:11,12 says, “Study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; that ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.”

GAMBLING DISCOURAGES HONEST LABOR: The basic tenet of the bible is based on the idea that every person should give an honest day’s work for a honest day’s pay. To a degree, gambling discourages work. It encourages a person to simply wait on the lucky day when he will hit the number and rest from his life of waiting on the right number. It encourages him to find a “get rich quick” scheme and a short cut to wealth without applying the abundance of talents that God has given him in the market place of business and labor. Proverbs 28:19-20 puts it this way, “ He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.”
~Pastor Roosevelt Wright, Jr.

How can this rich man who never worked a day in his life other than stirring the excrement in the black community complain that some people make more money than others.

He is rich because Bill Ayres(a terrorist) wrote his book about his drunken womanizing Muslim father, and because of his political connection with radical Socialists, and he wants to take away the rewards of those who did actually work to get rich.

Since leftists reject any/the objective basis for morals and right and wrong,

they should be told that we dismiss their morality because it is just a human opinion with no more weight than anyone else’s opinion, either contemporarily or historically.

However, our basis for morality IS objective and unchanging, it IS from God (logically provable), and it IS easily discernible with a bit of reading.

“...leftists do not separate social and economic issues, to them they are the same thing...”

Not true. What you describe above is a political device: leftists use everyone and everything as a tool to achieve their final goal of total domination. Once they reach that goal there exists no morality on any level. In this way they are exactly like Islamists.

Conservatives are for freedom from government tyranny, and do not give away “free stuff”. We don’t buy or sell political influence. If rich donors want to donate money, fine; they shouldn’t expect us to ignore when they break the law.
