Claiming the Moral High Ground

Rush Limbaugh is in the middle of a firestorm. After the Congressional testimony of one Sandra Fluke, an apparently thirty-something law student, who beseeched Congress to pay for her protected sex, Limbaugh referred to her with the unflattering term "slut." Now, to be fair, that's pretty strong language. On the other hand, Ms. Fluke testified that many college students "struggle financially" to bear the ($1,000 per year) cost of protected sex while in college; according to some calculations, that is 5 sexual escapades per day, so Limbaugh might be forgiven for thinking Ms. Fluke and her companion students are more occupied in the sex trades than occupied as students.

Furthermore, despite all the hoopla, it seems that liberals actually embrace the word "slut." A website has been created to encourage people to embrace their inner "slut." So it is obvious that liberals are complaining at Limbaugh not because liberals object to the term, but because they simply don't like Rush Limbaugh and they hope conservative sensibilities will be offended by the term; it is simply a tool to create a wedge between conservatives.

After all, look who's talking here. These liberals who are claiming the moral high ground with loud and self-righteous outrage are the same people who attack conservative women with the worst possible vulgarities- and laugh about it. Look at what Bill Maher says about Sarah Palin, for example. Or better yet, if you have any shred of decency, don't, because Maher certainly doesn't. The only difference is that Democrats simply approve of these attacks.

As with all things "moral," liberals believe that what makes you feel good is "right." It's relative truth in practice. These folks are so self-centered and conceited that they believe all who disagree with them are obviously wrong and must be either stupid or immoral; and it's "right" to attack stupid or immoral people with every weapon available lest they stand in the way of progress.

This country is in a culture war, and this firestorm around Limbaugh uncovers the nub of it;  who determines what is moral and right. Liberals believe there is no god, and they as the narcissistic educated elite make the rules and determine what is moral and right based on what makes them feel good. Moderates don't care if there is a god, so long as they do well financially. Conservatives believe there is a God, and He makes the rules and determines what is moral and right.

Liberals are claiming the moral high ground, but they have no inherent right to. Instead, their claim raises the fundamental question which Americans must address. The Founding Fathers built this country on Christian principles, on a faith in God, which they referred to as the hand of Providence. Americans can choose whether to accept or reject God, but if Americans refuse to follow God's principles or place their faith in God, Americans will get "change." It will not be for the better; socialism has demonstrated its truly vicious nature in every society which has fallen prey to its siren song.
