The Moral Relativism of the Right: When we do wrong, its okay.

How do they get away with this?

I think its because they have defined themselves as the keepers of
morality in this country, so it follows that they get to define right and
wrong for all of us. Not surprisingly, they have completely different
standards for themselves. They look past their own immoral behavior
because it is done in the pursuit of Morality.

Andrew Sullivan has an interesting article on just how poorly all those
red states live up to their own moral standards.

How do we counter this? Its the context in which issues get discussed,
and is so often not challenged by the media.
