Democrat Morality

[Newby]

Midcan started a thread on Republican morality, which has been an interestind discussion. So I was thinking why don't we ever talk about Democrat morality?

And then I realized, I have no clue what morals Democrats have. So what is Democrat morality?

I have HEARD it's things like striving for a world where every child who is born is wanted, and making sure that they all have enough to eat, a roof over their head, basic healthcare and a quality education.

Oh and ending wars which seem to be about oil.


stuff like that ......





With any reference to sexual morality usually down in the realm of live and let live as long as they're consenting adults.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. It's reality we need to deal with, not fantasy.

morality runs similar in all humans, not just party members.

So what is Democrat morality?

Democratic morality is whatever morality a given democrat may have. Otherwise for democrats, unlike republicans, it’s a non-issue.

Because republicans make an issue of morality, social conservatives and Christian fundamentalists in particular – indeed, many republicans try to use the ‘moral issue’ (aka ‘family values&#8217 as a political weapon. Many republicans try to imply that democrats have no values or morality in an attempt to attack a given democratic candidate or democrats in general, when in fact democrats are just as moral as republicans.

Consequently, when a republican candidate/politician engages in immoral behavior, the GOP as a whole is justly subject to ridicule.

C_Clayton_Jones, well said. Excellent analysis that gets to the heart of the issue.

==================================================

Avatar4321, you live in Philly surely you know by now what party to register in, but we often vote for republicans and O'Neill's office has been a big help for family and friends.

"I believe in an America in which the fruits of productivity and prosperity are shared by all, by workers as well as owners, by those at the bottom as well as those at the top; an America in which the sacrifices required by national security are shared by all, by profiteers in the back offices as well as volunteers on the front lines." Theodore C. Sorensen

Ted Sorensen gave an excellent answer in "Why I am a Democrat," link below, check it out if you want an excellent statement on the difference in parties. Harry Truman too outlined the differences here: Truman Library - Public Papers of the Presidents: Harry S. Truman for those interested.

"In the Democratic Party, you won't find the kind of unity where everybody thinks what the boss tells him to think, and nothing else."

I see the usual stupid answers from the right. I know 'stupid' is not PC, my grandchildren tell me that often, but stupid comments they are. I'll check back to see if a republican with a brain arrives. I hope one does, but I suspect I know the answer already.

"If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal.'" President John F Kennedy on September 14, 1960

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you have some sense of right and wrong.

Morality is broadly defined, and liberals and conservtives concept of it, are often, polar opposites....

Why do you ask why I give a flying? Did I say I gave a flying?

I was simply trying to relay the answers I've heard from some Democrats when they've taken on the values question. They have made the contrast between certain traditional takes on values and where they place their concern. I conveyed what I heard.






I'm mostly a live and let live person. I believe in God and identify with a fairly traditional religion but I believe that in the end people will be judged by how well they adhered to their own sense of right and wrong - not to mine.

Totally agree.

Well, according to my understanding from conservatives talk show hosts.

Democrat morality is any inane philosophy or random act that will undermine disrupt, or destroy our nation security, freedom and estaablished capitalists institutions.

In a nutshell, Democrats are supporters of anarchy and communism and appeases enemies of the state.

Of course, it is not good to ask one side about what their opponents stand for. So the above may be wrong.

Yes, that is why I am not a dimwit, aka democrat.

So it's not possible to be a dimwit unless you're a democrat? I think you're making a strong case for an exception to that rule.

Want to try again?

Dimwits like clinton, obamaturd, dodd, franken, frank, and kerry have already proven my point.

Should I assume that Midcan started a thread which was nothing more than quotes from others with absolutely no independent analysis or critical thought of her own? That is her SOP. I rarely read her posts now.... I figure she works in marketing for Amazon.

And you’ve proven another point with this post alone.

Democrat voters have morals but they vote in leaders that don't.

They tend to be more open to suggestion then Republicans.

Their minds are easily changed.....at least most of them.

I wouldn't lump the voters into the same group with the silly fuckwads they tend to vote for. If they said the snorted coke they'd call them brave. If they said they're Gay they'd support them all the same, calling them hip. Democrats love winners regardless of how they win. The ends justify the means to them.

They would vote for any butt-reaming asshole as long as he tried to save a tree or acted like have gave one hairy poop about children. Course it's all a sham, but Dem voters tend to fall for their crap repeatedly.

LOL Too funny for words. This from the supporter of the Party that has been having a flavor of the week leading candidate for months now.

Poor dumb ass Mud doesn't realize he has just described all but two of the present GOP candidates, and himself.

I suppose you supported Obama from start to finish during the primary season.

If you say yes chances are you're lying.

My guy has always been Newt. Strange how he's winning now. Huh???
