How conservatives lost their moral compass
*snip*
American history can be read as a series of episodes in which we reached what could be called a tipping point of shame when our behavior became so egregious that we, as a people, decided to desist from our worst excesses, whether it was slavery or antipathy to immigrants.
Take civil rights. The majority of Americans, even outside the South, might originally have had little real enthusiasm for the civil rights movement. Most urged patience. It was only after the public saw the beatings during the Freedom Rides, the firehoses and police dogs at Selma and the church bombing in Birmingham that Americans were shamed into accepting the claims of African-Americans to equal justice under the law. Shame was the moralizing force.
Shame also defeated the hatred of Father Charles Coughlin, the famous radio priest who laid the Great Depression at the feet of Jewish international bankers, and Sen. Joseph McCarthy, who recklessly accused his critics of communist treachery. Both had reached that tipping point at which ordinary Americans felt these provocateurs had gone too far. Americans felt shamed.
There is a reason we have never previously had a hatemonger like Rush Limbaugh enjoy popularity for as long as he has. The reason was shame. You couldnt find enough people, let alone a broadcaster, who wanted to be identified with that sort of viciousness. The initial enthusiasm for it eventually waned.
But that was then. Surely when a group can publicly cheer a mans death for not having health insurance, the sense of shame is gone. It faded not only because liberals had subverted it by casting it as a conservative scheme to corset society, but because conservatives managed to delegitimize it. They attacked it as yet another elitist scheme, contrived to neuter strong conservatism.
Conservatives portray shame as a way of making people feel bad about the lesser angels of their nature. Which is exactly what shame should be.
Their bigger trick, though, has not been to delegitimize shame so much as to convert shamelessness into a valid political position. It can be attacked only at the peril of seeming to take sides in our political wars which the mainstream media steadfastly refuse to do.

He's a political commentator.
no he is a entertainer.
No you're an entertainer..
Your smugness and ignorance is pure comedy..
Seems like liberals think they have a moral compass and that's the only one that counts. It's moral to kill babies. It's moral to normalize same sex relationships. It's moral to rob someone who works and give the money to someone who doesn't. If that's your moral compass, no wonder you are going in the wrong direction.
There are also some that believe it's alright to kill the disabled to harvest their organs. Is killing immoral? Apparently not to some.
and to some its ok to kill because you hold different religious values, or are gay.
We can play this all day..fuckface
I don't think the writer of that opinion piece actually heard the debate in which he claims, "Rep. Ron Pauls declaration that an uninsured 30-year-old man who needs medical care should be left to die".
He betrays an ignorance of that particular exchange later when he says, "Indeed, even if they harbored those feelings, the nations overwhelming sense of Judeo-Christian moral righteousness forced them to at least talk about concern for the underprivileged. No one wanted to seem mean."
If that idiot had actually watched the full debate instead of what he heard about that debate, he would have known that Ron Paul went on at some length about it is the responsibility of the 30-year-old to get health insurance before he gets into an accident which puts him in a coma.
The scenario Ron Paul was given was of a man who could afford insurance, not one who couldn't. But the hysterical liberal spinners always shriek that conservatives cheered the death of a man who could NOT afford insurance.
Ron Paul also went on to say that churches and charitable groups used to take care of such people, and that is what he would prefer.
So this asshole who wrote the opinion piece is quite literally MAKING SHIT UP!!!

Let him die!
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Give a fish a computer and you get rdean.
I don't know if they've lost their compass or not, but because of all the dark hatred for Obama, which morphed into hatred for each other during the GOP candidate selection, I'd be willing to say that the glass of their compass is a mite bit cloudy from all the dirt they've been slinging.

Well, I must admit, we don't have the love fest for Obama that you had for Bush.

Apparently, based on the current GOP race, you don't even have much love for each other.
Way to fracture yourselves!

After FDR's friends the Soviets tried to start WWIII in Berlin and immediately before FDRs friends the ChiComs started killing American soldiers in Korea, Joe McCarthy warned us that US State and the White House had genuine Communist spies and history vindicates him completely
The problem with McCarthyism is the same problem with all tyrannies. You could be accused of being a Commie even if you weren't.
If the megolamaniac is finding a commie under every bed, that just undermines the whole cause. Which is exactly what the drunken Senator from Wisconsin did.
Too bad that the Communists themselves admitted McCarthy was right, that they did penetrate State and WH.
And you're a stupid fuck to boot

What is really shameful is redistribution of wealth, so you can enslave an entitlement group. All the while, acting like their salvation.
Is this the redistribution of wealth you're addressing?

My type of conservative doesn't embrace a man called Tiller who could in all his coldness love and adore dragging a baby out of a womb and killing it.
That's a lib.
You are a democrat that loves a man who could do this.
You are disgusting.
There are also some that believe it's alright to kill the disabled to harvest their organs. Is killing immoral? Apparently not to some.
and to some its ok to kill because you hold different religious values, or are gay.
We can play this all day..fuckface
lets just have it out then.
why do you support muslims when muslims are anti abortion and kill gays based on their sexuality.
I really want a fucking answer.
All the while condeming Christianity?
Talk about bullshit sister.........
Oh, don't be fooled - they had just as much hate for Clinton. And they have just as much hate for Carter.I don't know if they've lost their compass or not, but because of all the dark hatred for Obama, which morphed into hatred for each other during the GOP candidate selection, I'd be willing to say that the glass of their compass is a mite bit cloudy from all the dirt they've been slinging.
