“But GOP hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. Goodman stayed in the closet so long for the same reasons that Republicans spent so much energy to keep transgender people out of public bathrooms but aren't actually bothered that Roy Moore could be a real-life child predator. As long as you help the party get power, it doesn't matter what you do or who you stalk in private.” ibid
Exactly.
Dear
C_Clayton_Jones
Aren't the parties equal when it comes to hypocrisy and contradicting themselves:
1. the liberals claim to defend pro choice from infringement or control by federal govt
then turn around and hand control over ALL HEALTH CARE decisions of individuals to govt
2. the conservatives claim that people should govern independently of govt and invest
in private sector and business solutions. So why are all they DEPENDING on Trump
and Congress for reforms. What happened to DIY if that is what they preach?
The DIFFERENCE I have found CCJ:
1. when I confront Christians or Constitutionalists
using the very principles they claim and commit to follow,
they usually RESPOND to the rebuke. They either correct it
or agree to some alternative that would meet THEIR OWN STANDARDS
2. not so much with liberals and Democrats who
ONLY FOLLOW THEIR PARTY PLATFORM LIKE A RELIGION
Their POLITICAL RELIGION relies on "following the leader" so they can no longer
decide for themselves but must wait on mandates through govt or party from the top down.
The Conservatives who think and act for themselves as Christians and/or
as Constitutionalists INVOKING THE LAW DIRECTLY are able to answer DIRECTLY.
That's a HUGE difference, in empowerment and ability for self-government.
So even where there IS "hypocrisy on both sides"
I have MORE success policing CONSERVATIVES
who either respond to Christian or Constitutional principles or both.
And have a lot HARDER time trying to get liberals/Democrats
to correct and check themselves by their own principles.
That's why you will see Republicans pressuring their own party leaders
and members to step down, because they will rebuke each other by
Christian or Constitutional laws. The Democrats put party agenda
first, so whatever meets that end, whatever is more convenient, that's what gets pushed.
The Republicans DO HAVE this same problem in their ranks,
but the members pushing AGAINST that have more leverage to stand on,
so they tend to do better than the Democrats. The party is divided with
nothing to keep them together because they don't invoke either
Constitutional or Christian principles which Republicans use to stay aligned.
When they lose sight of that, yes, they start to fall apart also;
but the ones who stick with those principles remain steadfast.
Frankly, I'm ready to see the Christian left and right from BOTH
parties stand together, and correct the corrupt abuses going on with both parties!
Maybe that's when we will finally see the hypocrisy called out and corrected with BOTH!
