Yes, there used to be a term called moral turpitude. Not only a legal unerstanding but a social one as well. People did not compartmentalize their moral life from everything else. Bad examples make no difference today. Bad moral living is some type of minimal dimension that has no bearing on any other aspect of life apparently.
The proper role of government is to bypass Congress and give borrowed US taxpayer money to foreign agencies who have publicly declared that we are their enemy? I know there is debate room regarding the proper role of government, but this is a stretch. And if you read Obama’s memoires and examine his actions, he isn’t an “America-loving patriot”. He hates this country, and that it patently obvious in how he treats it and how he speaks about it.The Obama-Muslim-Brotherhood meme serves only one purpose - to discredit a loyal and patriotic American who just happens to disagree with conservatives on the proper role of government regarding economic and social issues. So why go there?
The Democratic Party has not adopted abortion as its central focus of devotion. Women would find that repugnant and women are more likely to be Democrats regardless of their age (gallup.com/poll/120839/women-likely-democrats-regardless-age.aspx). So unless you believe that most women are inherently evil and are motivated to kill their babies - then something else must be going on. Why don’t you try to figure that one out?
As for being “orphaned” - please, let me wipe your tears.As far as I can tell, you have totally bought into the Republican memes of individualism and “economic freedom” - so social issues are not the only reason why you don’t fit with the Democratic party.
The truth is - the Democratic party DOES promote ideas that smack of a “European-style of socialism” and so does the Catholic Church. Where do you think the Europeans got their ideas about universal healthcare and the dignity and rights of workers? Not Ayn Rand.
I think you have it right. Is there a reason why a foreign advisor is to be shunned if he’s divorced or living with a woman, or even with a man. How does his private life have an impact on his ability to get the job done especially if he does his job well? “Bad” is. of course, your fair call and you have a right to say that; but it may not be the opinion of others.
Hardly a radical admission to say that starting with Newt Gingrich, the GOP has made a point to use inflammatory labels like “socialist” and “communist” against Democrats at every opportunity. Therefore, it is no surprise that they should label basic economic justice “socialism”. Unfortunately, since the Catholic Church supports the same sort of economic principles (progressive taxation, universal health care & workers rights) by extension it also falls under the same false label.
So you think that a biased left wing source will provide this?
Tell me, how exactly is Mitt Romney going to correct this travesty of injustice that you describe? Also, I would like to know where in his memoirs Obama states that he hates this country? Maybe he hates the neocon vision of America as global bullies - but so do I.
So you think there are no other sources?So you think that a biased left wing source will provide this?
When the shoe is on the other foot it is OK? How can you honestly defend a self admitted liberal protectionist press?So you think there are no other sources?
But of course, biased right-wing sources have nothing to do with all the conspiracy garbage about Obama that is out there. You can print anything when facts don’t matter to your readers.
You can’t complain about the liberal press as long as Rupert Murdoch’s “fair and balanced” media empire is still intact. Sometimes I wonder how conservatives can watch Fox News all day and then claim that main stream media is liberal? The highest rated media outlet in the United States providing an unmitigated and unrelenting platform for GOP talking points, and you want us to believe the liberals are controlling the message. Really?
Point 1. I’m not the one who introduced the word “socialist” into this conversation. You did, and attributed socialist policies to the Dem party. I merely followed up on that.
Yessiree - survey says - over 90% of journalists are self-admitted liberals.
Oh, God help me, I can’t resist this. Conservatives CAN’T watch Fox News “all day” because they’re working.
Then what are you doing blogging all day! Get to work!Oh boy now you did it
Possibly you have not noticed the big gaps; sometimes in days or weeks. Besides, I own the place, and know what needs to be done, by whom, and when. Ever wonder why I sometimes post late in the evening? Same computer. Some people take breaks and do nothing during them. Some people take off afternoons to play golf. I do this.Then what are you doing blogging all day! Get to work!
Actually, I already have land in Costa Rica and I am looking at a purchase in Brazil. One step ahead of you.
But do you really run, on ridges?Possibly you have not noticed the big gaps; sometimes in days or weeks. Besides, I own the place, and know what needs to be done, by whom, and when.

That’s why his admin has upped the number of predator strikes and homicides in countries we were never at war with because didn’t like Bushes policies he has followed them to the letter.
I have run on ridges all my life, but not necessarily in that way. My wife is from Indiana and she considered Ozarkers like myself to be “Ridgerunners”; something they seem to say in Indiana about anyone from south of Indiana. It’s perhaps a bit less perjorative than calling someone a “hillbilly”. But it’s a distinction, as near as I can tell, without difference.
