From Facebook:
The Right wants to believe
they are losing the culture wars because everyone is out to get them.
When in reality they are losing because they have thrown away their
traditional roots and have been selective about when to apply morality.
For example, gay marriage and abortion- they appeal to Natural Law and a
higher morality. But on finance, medical coverage, and insurance, the
Right makes a 180 degree turn and goes all 'social darwinism' on us.
Because when a single mother needs assistance, Jesus is looking over her shoulder and wagging his finger in disapproval. But when we talk about business ethics of the financial industry, all of a sudden Jesus doesn't exist and we are living in Hobbes's state of nature.
How do we keep people from seeing these inconsistencies? De-fund humanities and language programs- the foundations of a conservative world view.
