For Those Liberal Loons Confused About The Difference Between Hypocricy And Decency

Matt Sanchez has a piece at RWN addressing the Left's glee over the latest gay sex scandal and the difference between hypocrisy, decency, and shame - differences that are completely foreign to the Left and most especially, the proponents of the gay agenda:

[...] In case you haven't heard, another gay sex scandal has hit the news cycle as Washington state Representative, Republican Richard Curtis, announced his resignation after the details of his sexual encounter with a male escort were aired.

During a segment on MSNBC, Dan Abrams, accused the representative of "hypocrisy" for voting against "legislation for gay rights." Of course, we heard the same whining after the Senator Larry Craig and Mark Foley incidents.

With so many liberals crying hypocrisy, it's obvious the charge has much less to do with reason than it does with desperation.

[...] Laura Flanders, a British born mouth-piece for Air America--yes, apparently they still are on the air--accused Representative Curtis and closeted Republicans of being "chickens" for not standing up for "who they are."

"Being chicken that disqualifies you from holding office," said Flanders, so proud that someone was actually listening to what she had to say.

For this liberal loon, Larry Craig's bathroom tap dance, Mark Foley's love texts to teenage interns and Representative Curtis' fetish for female nightwear is "who they are" and therefore these legislators should vote for "gay rights" or else they're hypocrites.

Let's stop and consider how ridiculous this statement is.

When a chain smoker afflicted with cancer votes for anti-smoking legislation, he probably has good reason for at least attempting to shield the public from what he is already suffering. Why would Foley, Craig or the latest, Curtis, be so proud of their wayward behavior that they would want to pass legislation to validate it? Were these men showing hypocrisy and denial or just insight and concern?

[...] During the whole Abrams piece no one, besides old-school conservative, Pat Buchanan, even questioned if hiring a self-described male-escort for sex or cheating on one's wife was shameful.

So, are politicians that live a closeted gay lifestyle exhibiting hypocrisy or shame? I say, both. However, its the concept of shame that is most foreign to the Left.

For me, the take home message is that somewhere along the way of declining moral values, we've allowed depravity and the immorality of gay sex to become a human rights campaign, and its up to those of us who still hold an ounce of reason and common sense, and know the difference between right and wrong, to stand up and say no.
