Do you believe liberalism and Democrat’s have the moral high road?
 
I think that’s their PR strategy, to present themselves that way,
but not so in practice.
 
Precisely an example of how people portray liberals as evil enemy on here and that can’t possibly be right on any issue.

GOP has their own PR strategy to present their case, and they often only adhere to it in messaging and not practice (hypocrisy).

But you made this thread about liberals so that’s what people are commenting on.
 
Dem/Repub, conservative/liberal, aren’t moral terms. It’s like comparing apples and school buses. People need to quit trying to equate the things of God with the sleaze that is American politics.
 
Democrats have the moral high ground on some issues. Republicans have the moral high ground on some issues.

When it comes to our politics, there is a monopoly on neither right, wrong, truth nor folly.
 
I’m not sure either has the moral high ground, even when what they are advocating happens to align with a moral position.

What gets to me is justifying giving other people’s money to the poor in the basis of Christ’s words about the sheep and the goats, but saying that outlawing abortion would be pushing religion on others.
 
With their increasingly radical and fringe platform, how on earth can they? This is not to exonerate the opposing party by any means.

In my view, “moral high ground” is not equal to perfectly moral. It just means that, when compared, one side takes a more moral position on a particular issue than the other.
 
Not at the moment. Considering the LBGT agenda they’ve been pushing at the expense of freedom of religion, pushing to keep easy access to abortions, and a lack of central unity. Bearing this, the Republicans are in a better current position IMO. But considering how they’re passing ridiculous laws in my state, I might lean blue in November.
 
The answer is a solid no.

The Democrats may insist that they’re helping, that they’re on your side. But in reality they’ve always championed causes that run contrary to morals and the traditional American way of life.

When it comes to the big issues of the day, there are two kinds of solutions: one that helps and one that hurts. The Democrats and the liberals keep taking the solution that hurts, weakens, distorts, and destroys what we Catholics understand to be good and just. Every single time.

Yep. They like to wrap their arguments in the trappings of empathic morality, but that doesn’t mean they actually hold that ground.

Then again, those on the right do the same thing.
 
No political party has the moral high road .

When it comes to party politics morals often go through the window according to what opinion polls are saying .

Catholics need to be wary of getting into party politics . I see too many Catholics who end up giving their allegiance to a political party rather than to God . It doesn’t make for a healthy Church .

President , prime minister , king , fuhrer etc. should be seen for what they are…fallible human beings , who may sometimes be evil . Beware of getting too close .
 
As the Psalmist says, “Put not your trust in princes.”

St. Anthony Mary Claret’s cynical, but likely accurate take:
I have never wanted to get mixed up in politics, not even when I was a simple priest, let alone nowadays, although I have certainly been pressed in that direction. One of our leading politicians once asked me to recommend a certain policy to Her Majesty. “My dear sir,” I answered, “you may as well know that I look upon present-day Spain as a gambling table; the players are the two political parties. Now, just as it would be utterly reprehensible for a mere onlooker to give the slightest help to one of the players in the game, it would be equally reprehensible for me, a mere spectator, to make any recommendation favoring one or the other political party to Her Majesty. In the long run, all political parties are nothing more than players who are out to win the pool, so that they can lord it over the others, or simply to fatten their own wallets. The real motive in politics and political parties is often no more than ambition, pride, and greed.”
