    But in order to make any sense (within the contect of your hypocritical implication), conservatives would have to be violating that moral standard.

    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.

        I just went back to see what he has posted since last night, so I'd know what to vote as spam the next time round, and most of his messages have been removed. :doh:

          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.

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...

                                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.

                                Frankly, the left seems far more committed to implementing a moral agenda than the right does. All the right wants is to have an equal voice in defining morality for our society. The left wants an exclusive right to define it. Just consider abortion or gay rights, the conservatives are far more compromising on those issues than the left is. The lefties are the true moral absolutists in our society.

                                Modern liberalism has never achieved anything other than giving Secularists something to feel morally superior about

                                  Yeah I know... "you feel harmed" by what other people do in the privacy of thier homes. Yeah I know... we have laws about 18 year old and 17 year old. Yes we have an arbitrary line of 18 where we put the "children" and have laws to protect them. I have two questions about that: 1) How is a law defined to protect children compare with you wanting a law because you feel harmed by what the consenting adult couple 2 blocks down the street are doing in the privacy of their home? 2) Don't you think we have proof beyond a doubt that children need protection from adult predators?

                                    It's a strange quirk of human nature. Those oh-so-nuanced persons who decry/denounce the concept of objective truth (or morality, or ..., etc) tend to be absolutists, especially when they're in a position to force or bully others to bend to their wills.

                                      Because that is how the country was intentionally designed to work - social policies in the hands of the people at the local level.
