I think that both parties need to worry about the stick in their own
eye before they go around blaming other parties.

True, but the left doesn't try to enforce their morals (or lack
thereof) on you, with that whole "family values" tripe.


I disagree, they may not be for family values, but they do preach
their values or lack there of just as loudly as the right preaches
their values. You generally will find yourself as much able to
disagree with them as you can disagree with someone on the opposite
spectrum.


Maybe a better way to say what I mean is that the left doesn't try to
force their morals on others. They may rant about it, but they do not
seem to be as manipulative on the whole, as the far-right.

As for most of the issues at hand, I'm more right-leaning than left by
far, but I still think the far-right tends to be a lot more
hypocritical. JMO.

It isn't that the left tries to force their morals as much as they try
to tear down moral barriers that we take for granted as reasonable and
necessary.

The Left enforces morals by saying that the moral barriers that we try
to keep in place do not belong. So, in a sense the left is forcing its
morals on others.


Give us an example of the left doing this. Good luck.


Gotta go with Joe on that one. Cite, please?

Having said that, the far-right still seems much more oppressive in
forwarding their allegedly moral position. The one thing I really like
about the left, is that while they may not share my beliefs, they don't
try to make me ashamed of said beliefs. That's an age-old guilt trip the
far-right loves to use.

Here's something cute from the right wing church-bats in Oklahoma:

"The school would be required to reward the student with a good grade, or be
considered in violation of the law. Even simple, factual information such as
the age of the earth (4.65 billion years) would be subject to the student?s
belief, and if the student answered 6,000 years based on his or her
religious belief, the school would have to credit it as correct. Science
education becomes absurd under such a situation."

It's a real piece of legislation:
