Participant[quote=briansd1]Allan, no, I don’t blame conservatives for everything.
“But I do blame conservatives for not living up to their own high moral standards.”
Judge the individual.
“For example sex. I think that adultery is no big deal. It’s something that should be worked-out between the partners involved and it’s none of anyone else’s business. As long at it’s legal, it’s fine by me.”
Elaborate in terms of defining a relationship and how important keeping ones word is. How does this relate to your code of ethics? How does that code of ethics hold a high moral ground?
“But for a conservative politician, who incessantly quotes the Bible, a sex scandal is huge deal. He should resign because he violated his own rules. ”
Yes he should.
“I feel sorry for Mark Sanford. He didn’t do anything morally or legally wrong in my book. If it weren’t for his past moral preachings, he should be allowed to remain in office and continue the affair while in office.”
This depends on how important it is to stick to your own stated values. This is one universal standard we can judge each other by.
Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=fredo4]Despite thinking the opposite of themselves, I’ve found, surprisingly, that non-religious, college educated people tend to be the least tolerant and the most conformist.[/quote]
Fredo: Yup, and Brian’s responses show that perfectly. Its a mix of confirmation bias, (faux) intellectual superiority and doctrinaire thinking.
Look at his (non) responses on abortion, or, more correctly, his Leftist conformist responses on abortion as well as his willingness to blame the Republicans for everything (which, ironically, is something he pillories Republicans for doing with the Democrats) and his consistent bigotry when it comes to Christians or “Kansans” (short hand for white, non-college educated folks in “fly over country”).
I deal with quite a few left-leaning colleagues and their responses are always amusing when it comes to pointing out this bias/bigotry. They generally are unaware that these biases even exist, but have been educated (programmed) to believe in their own intellectual superiority and thus that stench of paternalistic, “I know better and you should do what I/we say” autocracy.[/quote]
yup

Participant[quote=briansd1]The question is whose choice is more important.
The woman’s choice is most important.
The fetus cannot choose. And the fetus’ religious defenders’ opinions count much less than the wishes of the woman.
The woman gets to decide. (Oh, man, I can’t believe I said that, hahaha…. )[/quote]
So some are “more equal than others”
What is your definition of equality?
And I don’t care what your view of the conservative def is. I can read the King James for myself.
