Since "morals" is a new word to the liberals?

Question

Does that excuse the actions of their precious left wing gods or does it work both ways Seems lately only the right does wrong, and condems the actions of their own But the left praises the so called libs Clinton, Byrd, Frank Jefferson and others It is the person and not the party Right?

Answer 1

morality and politicians don't mix, don't forget teddy Kennedy, or LBJ, when it comes to the liberals who are immune to morality! When it comes to immoral behavior its front page news when a conservative does something , but normal behavior for a liberal

Answer 2

Liberals have known about "morality" for a long time. That's why we care so much about compassion, tolerance and equality. We also believe that all humans make mistakes and should be forgiven. Forgiveness to one who admits they are wrong is also moral. Byrd admitted a long time ago that he made a huge mistake as a young man. He has admitted his mistake, asked for forgiveness, and moved on. Since then he has acted in a moral manner and the voters of his state have forgiven him for his mistakes and moved on. Voters have by repeatedly returned him to the Senate where he has done a great job. Clinton apologized on National TV. Though the only people who needed to forgive him were his family, many of us did. There are a few who just want to hang onto this resentment forever. I'm assuming you are talking about William Jefferson. He has not yet been convicted. When he was first charged the Democrats stripped him of his committee assignments. I doubt you can point out one liberal who has praised him, since you've done such little research you can't even get his name right.

Answer 3

Four things you well know,
1.)Larry got his own butt in trouble it wasn't our fault he was reaching for used toilet paper on the floor of the stall next to him (ok) doesn't everyone reach into the stall next to them whilst extricating?
2.) Senator Byrd has denounce his earlier beliefs regarding the KKK and segregation. ( many Americans came around slowly, some even suggest that the entire republican party feels quite negative about blacks)
3.) Frank Jefferson has NOT BEEN FOUND GUILTY NOR HAS HE PLEAD GUILTY here in America, a person is innocent until proven guilty---and if proven guilty I hope he gets 10 years !!
4.) Bill Clinton was NEVER CHARGED WITH A CRIME
I know its extremely hard for you folks to grasp that a sexual tryst among consenting adults and lying and sending kids to war on lies do not equal each other in magnitude of immorality (But if Clinton spent his entire political career (like Larry) railing against the same behavior he engages in people would not still think he was the best President in decades!!)

Answer 4

The word and concept you are looking for is HYPOCRISY a republican favorite. The left has morals just not religious morals. It doesn't go around condemning people simply because the bible says their bad nor do liberals see things in black and white they now the real world operates in many shades of gray. This is a difficult concept to a simple minded conservative but what can we libs do but point the way and laugh as you go ahead and make jokes of yourselves as we say we told you so again.

Answer 5

Morals are something I've retained throughout my span on this globe. I wish Conservatives would quit lumping everyone in such a narrow-minded category.

The right is just too easy of a target right now. If you Convos had the dirty laundry on the Liberals, you'd be rubbing their noses in it like the proverbial puppy messing on the floor.

Answer 6

It's our own fault as Republicans...by bringing "Christ" and "family values" into the party as barometers by which to judge the rest of the world, we've entrenched ourselves into regressive thought; akin to the dark ages and the rule of the Catholic Church.

If you don't want "liberals" to complain and point the finger at our party's leaders, then denounce the witch hunting that's been going on in our party for decades

Answer 7

with all of the politicians getting in trouble over the last couple of years, can any party say they are the only righteous ones? seems to me the republicans lately are sad. bringing up sorry dems is no excuse.

these are the people that we, as americans, look up to and trust. i feel for us, and then we fight each other over who is the slimiest.

Answer 8

"Since "morals" is a new word to the liberals?"

Not according to the evidence. All of the Dem candidates have managed to retain their marriages AND be faithful at the same time.

Other than Romney, the extreme right candidates seem to have a definite problem in this area. Regardless of the bias on both sides, one must admit that the neo-GOP has been directly involved in scandal after scandal. What makes matters even worse is that many of these same individuals publicly condemned others who committed the same acts as they.

Answer 9

Social liberals are the nation's BEST practitioners of morality.

They have compassion for other people. Willingness to stand up, firmly and staunchly, for ALL civil & human rights, and personal liberties, across-the-board.

Willingness and desire to live by the Golden Rule.

Dedication to NEVER AGAIN allow girls and women to be FORCED to gestate UNwanted pregnancies to term, against their will -- a very real, 9-month-long form of rape!

Dedication to ensuring that ALL people, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or ethnicity, who are **legally** within the USA, will **never** be discriminated against in any way, and will never have their access to EQUAL rights denied to them in any way. And that includes access to same-sex marriage, for all gays who seek to marry -- since same-sex marriage is 100% ***harmless***!

Lots of luck finding any neocon/RRR cultist who has such high standards of fairness and compassion, as do the social liberals. Social liberals are sensible and intelligent egalitarians. Whereas, social "conservatives" generally are ignorant, or hateful, or bigoted -- or any combination of those negative traits.

Answer 10

I would have to say that 'morals' is just a word to the Repubs. It seems plain that very few of them actually have an understanding of what the word means and even fewer practice it.

Answer 11

Wait, I thought the Republicans claimed to have the stronghold on moral family values and yet seem to have all these weird sex scandals. It becomes hypocritical when all of this happens.
