i'm guessing you're talking about gay marriage, abortions, and not letting George W have absolute power?
could you be more specific please?
and i dont see how its immoral to let everyone have the chance to make their own decisions. i think that someone down the line said "love thy neighbor as you wish to be loved"...... if we all just left each other alone, we'd all be better off. i dont see what gives you the right to tell me how to live my life any more than i should be able to tell you how to live.
we should NEVER let any one single person have total power over any other adult, especially an idiot like Bush, the biggest failure on the planet, or Dick Cheney, the most Evil man in power in our history.
how is bending to someone else's will because they tell us what's "immoral" any different than say..... becoming a muslim terrorist because one of them telling us its what Allah wants? they'll tell you all day its right, and its the moral thing to do because america is evil, and we dont believe them, so why should anyone believe what you say? or what i say?
we need to create laws and rules as a society, and if we feel that a law isnt just, we work to change the laws, just like giving women the right to vote, not allowing slavery, letting black americans have equal rights under the law, giving gays equal rights, and letting a couple decide if abortion is the right choice for them.
that said, i'm not FOR abortion, i think its terrible, and i dont find it the moral thing to do other than cases of mortal danger to the mother, or rape. HOWEVER, i dont think that I PERSONALLY have the right to make decisions for another adult.
if you're the religious type, as i find many conservatives claim to be, then didnt God give us free will? we should use it every day and let others use it too. to disregard the gift of free will would be a sin, wouldnt it?

Who's bitter? I believe that it is the other way around. Liberals are contributing to the countries moral decay. As for president Clinton, if you call the so called "perfect strike" under Clinton great; then news flash this would of happend under anyone else. It was George Bush senior who initiated all of this. If former president Bush senior would of had another term then; he too, would have been successful too with all the GOOD things he did. By the way the only thing Clinton did was reinforce the moral decay issue. If anything good happen it would be probably what Al Gore did whicn was the internet because personally I think the guy is an idiot.

No liberls that I know 'lean towards an immoral society" but I do know that many Americans do not choose to have self-righteous fundamentalist self-appointed moral cops dictating to us all what "moral" means.
As for an "anarchist agenda," since that essentially just means recognizing the freedom of individuals to make private choices rather than having Big Brother government tell them what they must do, what's your problem with that?

Liberal and conservative are terms that describe a broad expanse of philosophy on the political spectrum. Far left wing liberals may have different views of morality and the need for government control than mainstream but the majority of liberals favor a highly structured government with resources available to provide for the welfare of society and have strong moral values. Similarly extreme right wing conservatives would like to see the bill of rights abandoned, allow the government to imprison people without bringing charges, would allow the government to crush opposing viewpoints and would be very comfortable with a state religion and a quasi-dictatorship. Again, most conservatives are much closer to the middle than the extremists. Comments like the one that you have made tend to focus on the extremes and exaggerate beyond readability the characterization of what a liberal is. I pride myself on being a liberal, I also feel that we need laws to govern our society, that government is necessary to improve our conditions and provide for our protection both at home and abroad. I like the original framers of the Constitution believe in a strong separation of church and state. I do not think that makes me and most of my fellow liberals immoral. Where we get into it with conservatives is that we have different views of taxation and expenditure of public funds. It boggles my mind that we can spend billions on killing people in Iraq or solidifying our borders but feel that expenditure for public education or national health care is wrong. There is a moral issue to chew on, how we justify killing for our safety but will let our own people die because we don't want to pay for it.

How do you figure?
Aren't liberals these days best known for advocating 'more government'. Bigger programs. And the like?
How is that an anarchist agenda?

An anarchy against bad things...Truth to corrupt and absolute power.
immoral society? that's not necessarily true,
true, liberals tend to be more compassionate, 'ultra Christian dogma'..to the least of us,
But I'm not, I believe in capital punishment for particularly ruthless murderers, I am against abortion,
I think people should be held accountable for their actions,
But you have ZERO proof that the thrice married, drug addicted conservative heroes are any more moral than the rest of us,
as a matter of fact,
the liberals in their own lives I bet are MUCH more moral than any Republican.
(Al Franken used to joke about this, He's been married to ONE woman for almost 30 years, great and loving dad, involved in many good political causes,
...And now compare that to Rush Limbough's and Newt Gingrech's Personal lives!...Phfwwa!)
As a matter of fact, I lean liberal,
of the people I know who voted Republican and love George Bush? --Coke snorting drug addicts, alcoholics,
Child beaters (use of whips resulting in a six to 11 year old bleed), had abortions, suggested abortions resulting in their girlfriends having one or three?..
I on the other hand am the most liberal person I know, couldn't and don't hurt a fly, never had an abortion ('cause I never had to anyway--responsibility)
Non addictive personality,
etc, etc.

Immoral: conflicting with generally or traditionally held moral principles
So yes some liberals could be considered immoral by this definition found in the dictionary.

Liberals tend to embrace humanistic morality, and conservatives tend to embrace a religion. Humanistic morality places the well-being of the individual as the determiner of what's right and wrong, and not blind obedience to dogma. So, government and conventional morality are only good to the extent that they support the humanistic perspective.

you obviously have no clue what an anarchy is all about. it is probably the highest form of self governing that humans can conceive. unfortunately, it is also beyond many peoples ability to comprehend. It's not about immorality or lawlessness, it's about deep morality and there being no need of law enforcement. It's also quite unattainable as long as there exist humans of your caliber.

Moral is a relative term. Being relative, enforcing moral is totally up to you, your family and your believes.
Anarchy is "less government". I believe that's one of the catch phrases of the conservatives.
