A Moral Absolute Standard

I marvel at all the scrapping that goes on between politicians and everyday people with different ideaologies. Those of us who are conservatives feel we have something to conserve, such as assets we've worked all our lives to attain and are generally capitalists (we enjoy the rewards of our labor). We also hold to standards of behavior that we deem morally acceptable. Liberals believe "You're okay, I'm okay, and it doesn't matter what you do because there are no moral absolutes." At least that's the basic premise they claim to believe. However, they prove their own disbelief in this premise, as I will illustrate in the third paragraph. Also, liberals believe that those who have worked and sacrificed to provide for themselves and their families should keep up those who won't work, and how dare you suggest it.

Keep up. Here's where matters get switched. Conservatives are significantly more benevolent towards the needy than liberals are. The whole time, liberals are screaming at us and call us capitalist pigs. Conservatives believe in small government--let us do for ourselves with our own means and don't tax us to death. However, liberals believe in big government--that you should tax everyone who earns a paycheck for more complex and expensive programs to benefit those too lazy to work. Don't get me wrong, I'm for helping those who are down on their luck for a short span, but I don't believe living on the public dole should be a lifestyle.

Now, remember where I said that liberals claim to believe in no moral absolutes? They're not being truthful. Turn on your TV, if you can stomach it, and watch any news program where they're having debating sides. The liberal on that panel will argue that his opposition is being "unfair." Excuse me? Fairness based on what exactly? If there are no moral absolutes then there is no such thing as fairness either. They have shot their own premise in the foot whether they realize it or not.

Truth be told, all basic human decency is based on God-given moral principles that even the so-called non-believers claim don't exist. Yeah, I know it sounds mean, but the next time you get someone arguing in favor of the liberal topic du jour of the day, apply this to them when they screech about fairness. Ask them, "You say there are no moral absolutes. So what do you basis your idea of fairness on?" You're sure to get either a deer-in-the-headlights look or a sputtering, spitting, confused rage from them. Then smile and say, "Have a nice day."

I know I haven't laden this post with scriptural references, but there really wouldn't be room for them anyway. This is just a point to ponder.

Love Ya,
God Bless!
