How is that NOT crystal clear? You always claim to have superior reading skills don't you?

Because that statement is not true, hence there is no contradiction. Quoteing leftist propaganda is not a compelling argument.

Like Stan said, the only way your statement makes sense is if there is a contradiction there. And as I pointed out, there isn't one, which makes your statement meaningless. That's why I asked what you were talking about.

Hmmm... ok I'll bite. Which part is not true? 1) The Republican Platform of Religion and Family Values 2) Republicans in the Soapbox claiming moral superiority 3) Republicans in the Soapbox whining about a double standard

Your statement:

The word "then" makes the underlined portion a statement of contradiction. It indicates that claiming moral superiority denotes that conservatives are exempted from whining about a double standard (presumably because it's hypocritical...the only liberal vice). But in order to make any sense (within the contect of your hypocritical implication), conservatives would have to be violating that moral standard. As I pointed out in my first response, the fact that conservatives commit immoral acts is expected. But the standard requires action on those immoral acts...Something conservatives are consistent about. That fact contradicts your claims of hypocrisy because there is no demonstrably lacking morality, which renders your statement moot. That's why I asked what you were talking about when you continued rambling. Btw, Stan is saying that leftists claim a moral superiority via their secular humanist morality (e.g. war is immoral, republicans are corrupt, etc...).

This thread is not about hypocrisy, we can always get back to that, it is simply about "STOP WHINING" about the double standard.

Well then back to the original question. What are you rambling on about? You original posts makes absolutely no sense. It doesn't even imply "stop whining" just because you're annoyed of your blatant hypocrisy.

You still haven't explained your original post. You even said "Please could just one republican in the Soapbox please step forward and explain the logic in this seemingly inescapable contradiction?" Now two posts ago you said it's not about hypocrisy, but a simple whine about whining. Well then what was the point of claiming it was a contradiction if now you're saying it's not? What's wrong with you?

But, of course, I did not *merely* "post [a] list of Democratic leaders and their misadventures as if there is no list of Republican leaders misadventures." Not, mind you, that I could ever even begin to imagine that Honest Mike would actually be attempting to misrepresent the list I posted[^]:

Huh? Instead of demanding that your original post was "crystal clear" (despite the fact nobody has any idea what you're talking about), why don't you just explain it again for us dolts who are too dim to understand? That seems more sensible to me.

Sure, because that would be in response to someone "claiming moral superiority" not someone using the expression, right? But at least you answered and no I don't have any actual quotes so.... unless I find one or more ( I know they exist ) you have a legitimate complaint.

Secularists have, by rejecting the concept of sin altogether, found themselves wallowing in it since they're unable to distinguish virtue and vice. They lack guidance and simply have no concept of good and evil. The left will continue to refuse to recognize their influence on the decline of western civilization simply because they are unable to recognize what their actions entail.
I know there is much much more but I do not intend to look further for what any reader of the Soapbox knows only too well. While looking I found a thread with you and John Carson a few weeks back that I had missed. It was .... interesting...

That is a fundamental disagreement I have with modern political systems in general. That is why I am opposed to the Libertarians. If you have civilization, you have tyranny. It simply cannot be avoided. Even if your civilization only has one law "You cannot spit on the sidewalk" - all those who wish to spit on the sidewalk live in a tyranny, they are being deprived of doing something they wish to do. Laws against murder are tyranny to those who wish to murder, etc. Civilization is about controlling the behavior of people in some way. So your example of what adults do in their bedroom is meaningless. We exert all kinds of control over what people do in their bedrooms. What you want to establish is a standard of "no harm". Well, fine. But some power still has to dictate the definition of an adult, the definition of 'consent', the definition of 'private' the defintion of 'harm'. Some source of authority has to define those things. We don't allow an 18 year old to have sex with a 17 year old in a private bedroom or not. That is a completely arbitrary form of tyranny which cannot be avoided - there has to be a line that we are not allowed to cross. Who are you to tell me that two men having anal sex in their bedroom does me no harm? If I feel harmed, thats my call, and if my community feels the same way, who should have the power to force us to accept your definition of harm?
"If I feel harmed" ... wow ... whatever...
