Shake up the political establishment. Restore the constitution, repair foreign policy and bring back monetary sanity. Ron Paul for president spread the word. Go to ronpaul2008,com our liberties are in the balance. This is not part of the official campaign; I'm just a concerned citizen.
Thanks.

"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

He tries to liberalize the Bible but the Bible is full of hyperbole. It IS a radical book and therefore will always cause people to be in tension between it and moderation and reality.

I wonder if the modern Liberal can decide that selfishness is actually a bad thing since they pretend to be against judging anyone or anything. The hypocrisy of the modern Liberal is that they pretend not to be selfish but are actually always scheming to rob their neighbor.

That's a strawman, entropy. Liberals never claim to be "against judging anyone or anything" (at least, not educated liberals).

I used to be a Communist. That's when, in my country, being a communist meant being progressive, anti-cleric and, ironically, for freedom... the workers' freedom... This was so-called euro-communism of course, in the 70s.
Today, I see the left-right political divide as the base for this status quo of big government, over-regulation and state tyranny.
This lecture ... ( 1 year ago by truthadvocate)
This lecture carries the wrong title. It should be, "the religious fundamentalist soul" He knows nothing of the conservative mind. The status quo was to give to those in need. It takes doubt to realize that redistributing wealth imprisons the poor in a life of poverty.

You're confusing parasitism with liberalism. Welfare as it existed produced a parasite class (Clinton ended it). Collectivizing where it makes sense (and _only_ where it makes sense) is not robbing one's neighbor, it's win-win for the vast majority. Roads, educated & civilized & non-marginalized children, legal/penal system, a strong national defense are all collective win/wins. There are several more opportunities out there.

CONSCIENCE(3b)
Rather, a mature Christian conscience seeks to determine the implications of faith for one's entire life: "What is the good and holy thing to do? What is Christ's mind on this matter? How can I do God's will in my life?" (see Mt 5.38-48; Rom 12.1-2; Phil 4.8-9; Col 3.12-17).*4
Array ( 6 months ago by extreme098)
CONSCIENCE(3a)
The forbidden and the permissible are not the exclusive or even primary concerns of a mature conscience. A person of mature conscience does not ask, "What is the minimum I have to do? How far can I go in doing what I please?" These questions express at least a residue of superego and social convention.
Array ( 6 months ago by extreme098)
CONSCIENCE(2b)
By contrast, a person of mature conscience thinks of morality as a matter of real human goodness and reasonableness. For such a person, to do what is wrong is a kind of self-mutilation.
Array ( 6 months ago by extreme098)
CONSCIENCE(2a)
Judgments of right and wrong by a person with a mature conscience express more than early training or awareness of what is socially required. They say what ought to be required, what one will require of oneself if one is reasonable. To think of morality as an area in which one is made to feel guilty or as a set of rules someone else imposes expresses an immature conscience.
Array ( 6 months ago by extreme098)
CONSCIENCE(1)
Conscience in a full and strict sense is an awareness of moral truth. Only at this level are moral good and evil fully understood and rightly located in the freely choosing person who confronts the reality of the world and human possibilities. Wrongdoing is seen to lie either in refusing to make the commitments and enter into the communities in which one might hope to be fulfilled, or in betraying commitments and failing to meet responsibilities once they are accepted.

I disagree with Andrew on a good number of issues (he's a small-government conservative, I'm a pragmatic liberal), but I think he's the best political blogger and most interesting pundit out there.

Do you agree that the rise of evangelicals in politics has given vent to those who wish to mutilate others to salve their own "immature" consciences?
