Poor Dick Cheney

Ah, yes. Intolerance is such a worthy social goal.
You don't seem to be very tolerant of Cheney's beliefs...

I was thinking the same thing, only "B" (for bigot). Possessing a moral view that contradicts the left-wing view of (im)morality is enough to guarantee a bevy of unwashed hippies screaming hateful obscenities at your...ummmmm...hatred.

It is indeed. We have never endured a more strictly enforced moral imperative in this society. When a father cannot chastise his own daughter for a lifestyle that he undoubtedly disapproves of for fear of being publically attacked for having 'immoral' thoughts there is no doubt our society is in extreme trouble.

Why worry about immoral thoughts? Cheney is guilty of overt immoral actions by robbing the public coffers blind to reward his friends and eventually line his own pockets.
The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

you wrote: "Yes, as long as he keeps his unspeakably immoralities in the closet who are we to care? Now, thats what I call social progress!" You're the only one I've seen that describes Cheney as "unspeakably immoral" in regards to his relationship with his daughter. So you find it terrible that he would be criticized if he were to call his daughter a faggot in public? And you think that any criticism for this remark would be completely unwarrented? you said: "Tell that to George Allen or Rush Limbaugh or me for that matter. All branded with the scarlet 'R'." This cult of victimology that some of you consertives go on about is just pathetic!

Just criticizing his position as intolerant which, frankly, is the very definition of intolerance.

Irony denotes the unexpected. There is nothing unexpected about the current generation's disregard for morality. Rather, it is symbolic of our society's decline.

What is fascinating is that if you go back and read historical literature, the right has claimed that society is in the midst of unprecedented moral decline for about as long as they've existed.

Yeah, because right-wingers don't support the death penalty or anything like that.
____________________________________________________ If at first you don't succeed, skydiving might not be for you.
The right generally supports the death penalty for those who deprive others of life as the preferred method of justice for taking life (while the left opposes "punishment" for taking life and endorses "rehabilitation"). The left unwaiveringly supports the death of innocent babies. The end.

I know you won't get it, because you've demonstrated a complete lack of mental capacity to do so, but I'm a glutton for pain... My statement did not endorse the hypocritical and ill-thought-out position on "tolerance" held by the left. Rather, I was pointing out the fact that its an inherently hypocritical position which you have adopted without actually thinking it through. It also wasn't "relativistic" as it didn't assume that our respective positions on "tolerance" were both correct. Rather, it just pointed out the fact that your position is hypocritical.

The "right" hasn't existed throughout history. Rather, I think you're referring to moral authorities (like various churches) pointing out moral failings, which have existed throughout history. What we have on our hands is relatively (but not completely) historically unique. It's not about actual individual moral failings (as that's expected and will endure through any civilization), but rather the movement to accept moral failings as virtue...To redefine wrong to be right...To prevent those moral authorities from asserting immorality.
