On Immorality
Posted by Erick Erickson
Tuesday, June 28th
The
Democrats, in particular Joe Biden
and Barack Obama, are out to make the moral case for tax increases.
They claim
the Republican position is immoral.
This
is what happens when we debase
morality in our American political culture.
For
perspective, when Barack Obama was
a state senator in Illinois, he was the only state senator to speak in
opposition to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. He stood up and
made the
case that if an infant is born alive in the process of an abortion, the
doctor
who botched the abortion should be able to finish off the kid, even
though the
child had exited the womb alive.
That,
my friends, that is immoral.
Republicans
arguing that the
government should let hard working Americans keep their own money is
not an
immoral argument to make — particularly given how ineffective and
inefficient
government use of that money would be compared to private enterprise
and
non-profits.
For
Barack Obama and Joe Biden to make
this a case of morality is a reflection of their weak moral compass.
