17. I understood the post to mean that the American public has a warped sense of morality.
Edited on Sat Jun-06-09 12:29 AM by I Have A Dream
I don't think that he/she was talking about people here at DU or liberals but the American public at large who seem to only want to take rights away from others but not really care about suffering and damage caused (unless it affects them personally).

(On edit: Removed extra lines that somehow got tacked on the end.)
