Yes, You CAN Legislate Morality

You've heard it time after time from the left when the government tries to pass legislation aimed at curbing immoral behavior -- "You can't legislate morality!" That's not only wrong, it's stupid. Is murder immoral? Do we have laws against murder? Is rape immoral? Do we have laws against rape? Is theft immoral? Do we have laws against theft? Obviously the government CAN legislate morality. What the government cannot do is INSTILL morality through legislation. In some of the most repressive governments in the world, like China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, etc, the number-one problem is corruption. The more laws they pass, the more laws there are to break. Morality MUST be instilled through social mores. Then it is codified into law. If those social mores break down, the government can pass all the legislation it wants and it will not halt the breakdown of society. It is when the government inacts laws that do NOT legislate morality -- such as seat belt laws, no-smoking laws, laws that regulate how much water you can have in your toilet tank -- that it becomes repressive. One of the stories that never made it into the mainstream media (gee, I wonder why) is that soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian military contacted our military with a request to help them establish a chaplain service. They were scared to death that after more than 80 years of living in a godless country, that the military would be uncontrollable. And what is the left in this country doing? They are breaking down the very institutions that provide us with a moral compass. They are conducting a jihad against religions. The ACLU and NAMBLA are working jowl to jowl to knock down age of consent laws in every state. ANY attempt to bring the discussion of social mores into the public arena is met with howls of protest. And what has this brought us? Generation after generation of increasingly amoral monsters. "Doctors" who get rich aborting babies, mothers who kill their children, children who kill their parents, grade school kids who rape and assault, and on, and on, and on. The future of this country is clear as crystal to everyone but the knuckleheaded liberals. With the destruction of moral institutions, the government will have to pass more and more laws to control society. The more laws that are passed the more laws that are broken. But that will suit them. Leftists love repressive government. Ask the governments of China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba etc.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.
