| How dare you Christians legislate your morality onto us? Or so the self-righteous psedo-indignation goes. That is an interesting comment coming from the bullies from the Politically Correct and the Relativistic schools of thought who consider themselves thought police (censors) protecting the mental welfare of the rest of society whom they consider too stupid, busy, of just gullible enough to allow themselves to be pushed over by the bully pulpits of conservatives just as they had allowed themselves to be bullied in school. Including local ordinances and community associations mandating that fellow residents keep their garage doors closed or that trash containers be outside only on certain day(s) and that they be removed from sight by a certain time, it is impossible not to legislate morality in law. This last statement is bound to get a reaction from those who are trying to safeguard their hypocrisy and exempt their pet laws (and seek to shove their morality down the community's throat). With practice, they declare with a shrug of the shoulders that it is a matter of 'might makes right' (if practiced, they may even be able to keep a straight face when they say this). The question is whose morality. That is where the power struggle lies. The P.C. bullies want their feigned 'indignation' to not only fool but to also persuade others who do not share their views to roll over and play dead. For example Affirmative Action is an example of legislated morality (positive), as is the Dredd Scott decision, Jim Crow, the Anti-Chinese laws of California in the 1880s-1930s, as well as laws regarding the Japanese-American 'relocation' camps (negative), laws regarding child labor (both for and against) as well as the practice of Suttee ( a widow would be expected and pressured to throw herself into the burning embers of her deceased husband's funeral pyre to prove her devotion to him), foot-binding in China and treatment regarding the mentally ill in England. | ||||||||
| Moral-based laws also include suffrage (women's right to vote) , Roe V. Wade, Brown V. The Board of Education, the prohibition against polygamy and human trafficking (though driven by the sex industry, some politicians are largely silent except for the occasional lip service in order to garner specific voting block and to bolster their poll ratings). The latter as well as the so-called female 'circumcision' are occassionally addressed by politicians because they are 'hot' topics. For this very reason, the past genocide in Rwandha as well as the current one in Darfur, Sudan, will go down in history as testements of the apathy and selfishness of those who could do something, but saw no political expediency in such action. Guilt of such atrocities is to be shared by individuals whose apathy callously allows for it to take place as well as the politician in power who either takes no action or does take action which is driven more by selfish motives and political expediency than compassion for their fellow human being. It is interesting to see a politician privately 'oppose' one issue, such as abortion, even defining it as murder of an unborn innocent child, but publically support it as a valid decision between a woman and her doctor, though such a conspiracy would be no different than a wife conspiring with a hit man to murder her husband. This is nothing more than an attempt to garner votes and still appear to be on the moral high road. If is not defined as 'murder' then why is the politician not willing to be consistent in his or her support or opposition to it. It would not be any different than removing an Appendix or Tonsils. Political correctness not only wants but demands the legislation or morality. | ||||||||
