Somehow you see the impossibility of being both a social liberal and a moral conservative.
What limited thinking.
Jesus was both a moral conservative and a social liberal in his earthly efforts.
Your comments are typical of what the neo con right wing and the extreme left wing is attempting to do with their brainwashing, i.e. telling people that it is impossible to be liberal on some social issues, and conservative on other social issues.
This painting of people as either all black or white, all good or evil, 100% socialist or capitalist, 100% liberal or conservative etc. is the primitive step taken by cultures as they attempt to create totality of thought. It is not progressive in nature, and breeds prejudice and bigotry.
That our enemies, the terrorists, are of an extremist nature and totalitarian thought has only given people an opportunity to rationalize that we have to fight extremism with extremism, and it is reflected in the political pundits like Hannity, Rush, Coulter, Moore, etc.
This all or nothing thinking, which is so prevalent today is common among people who have a need for absoluteness in their life, especially as it relates to the complex problems and changes as we enter the 21st century.
My signature is expressly designed to show people how prevalent the tendency is to lump a person by category on the basis of their stance on one particular issue, or their set method of defining someone by one aspect of their personality.
It is very amusing to me how upset people have become with the signature, especially those who are both Christian and geared to acquire excess capital.
Some people seem to have a need to make my comments in my signature absolutely wrong, which in itself is most revealing.
Quote from Jeffo:
ARogueTrader: Jesus was not into entitlements the way current liberals are. and the current liberals' morals are WAY off of what Jesus preached.
