Originally posted by: forkushVQuoteWow, that's incredibly dishonest, even by your standards. Having morals is not the same as being a scolding moralist. Frequently it's the opposite, isn't it?

The worst of all these is the Pedophile Denny Hastert. Of course he committed these horrible acts while a Public School Teacher and Teacher's Union member. Seems if we're going to lump all Republican Men into the pervert category, we might as well add all School Teachers and Then Union Members too. Let's not forget he was born, raised and worked in Illinois. That would make the entire state suspect. And don't get me going on the mostly Democrat Roman Catholic Priests....They're the worst of the lot.
But here's the thing. Public school teachers aren't known for condemning the sexual activity of others. Neither are union members. And neither are citizens of Illinois, mammals, or multi-cellular organisms.
But Republicans like Denny Hastert are known for judging and legislating against the sexual behavior of others. That's what makes the Republican part of his bio so special.
I would have thought that would be obvious.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote books about moralists without morals. They were called Pharisees.
You're arguing that it's somehow morally worse when a Republican politician rapes a child because they are "scolding moralists". Well pardon me for not seeing the difference between that and the morally depraved Catholic Priests and Public School Teachers who are serial pedophiles. I'm sure their victims take some relief in the fact that their abusers weren't 'scolding moralists'.
But as long as you and your ilk feel the need to parse the difference between having morals and being a scolding moralist you ignore the victim and the real crime....which is child molestation...not the fake aura of morality the perpetrators try to convey. Anyone who for political gain tries to somehow make child molestation better or worse based on the politics of the perpetrator is lower than low. And you can look in the mirror for that one.
