Things is, we share a lot of global values with Deemocrats. That is, rank and file voting Deemocrats.
We deplore racism or any other form of discrimination that would bar someone from living well and enjoying happiness.
We believe in helping the poor, and doing good to people in need.
We consider the middle-class to be the back-bone of the nation, and we want to see it grow and become stronger.
We want to live good personal lives, be good neighbors, learn new things, understand more about our universe, and see mankind advance.
Where we diverge is on the question of which tools to use to reach those ends, and those really are some basic, grinding differences.
Oh, and we are not allowed to express those ideas, those goals, because…to a lot of Deemocrats…the simple truth stated above cannot be true of us. Unless we share their ideas about the proper tool or tools to use, we are demons. And we secretly want the poor to languish and die, we are bigots, we want the world to devolve, we love war, etc.
But it really is just a question of which tool to use that separates us, fundamentally.
Rags, I respect your opinion and you are right that we really share many values with the rank and file of the Democrats. The thing is that I suspect that all of us are being played. The Democrat and Republican Parties have been designed by Madison avenue type psychologists to appeal to different segments of society. Both of them are actually run by a group of clever manipulators who use our loyalties and prejudices to keep the people in their respective bases fighting each other and distracted as they move us and the country (actually, the world) toward their common goal of “One World” government. They play good cop, bad cop with us to keep us confused and distracted and alternately in despair or feelings of triumph. They manipulate the media, the economy, our foreign and domestic policies while they destroy society’s foundations so they can consoladate their power and remake the world into a “new order”.
I have seen the enemy, and they are us (our elite leaders)!
The problem with Democrat morals is that they have nothing to base their morals in. They don’t believe in objective moral values and duties that exist outside themselves. A Democrat believes that morals are relative and exist within the individual, each person decides what is moral for them in a given situation. To a Democrat the highest value is radical self-expression, a desire to fulfill all personal whims and desires especially sexual desires. The freedom to express oneself sexually and in fact define oneself by their sexual proclivity is the Democrats nirvana.
I particularly like the “too”: It concedes that Republicans have moral values.
I have relatives who vote Democrat and who are unquestionably decent people. (They’re related to me, after all.) They soak up the pro-Dem anti-Republican air around them, stick with news sources that confirm their preconceptions, and don’t deeply examine whether their votes are leading to better or worse outcomes. I know other people who appear to lead their own lives on fairly conservative principles, while clinging to a left-lib-Democrat political identity.
People can be extremely determined to maintain the good/bad dichotomies that have shaped their worldview and their identity, and “Democrats good / Republicans bad” is one of the most fiercely held dichotomies. It’s very difficult for people to admit they may have supported a bad cause for decades, so they make excuses.
That proclamation, along with the ‘DEM’ sticker above it, is as subliminal (and pathetic) a message as a five-foot-four body builder with a spray-tan and a pit bull driving a Hummer.
Or, as grandpa used to say, “If you gotta outright tell somebody you is, then you ain’t.”

They have moral values, just not one that they would not change the instant the Party told them to change it.
One moral value or one Democrat with morals?
It’s not that they don’t have moral values, it’s that theirs are irrational and destructive to civilization.
And they are the spawn of Satan.
Democrats: The party of non-believers who support killing babies.

How to explain the fact that these dichotomies predate “Madison Ave.”…???
Or, hell, psychology…???
“Psychology” is a description of a preexisting skill set?
After all, sexual intercourse certainly predates any name given it.
Psychology as a discrete study.
Intercourse predates language. Thank gawd.
It can still render some of us pre-verbal (heh! And don’t ask…)

“Democrats Have Moral Values Too”
Yep. The “moral values” of Saul Alinsky… right there with the Church of Satan.
Let’s use some of the Ten Commandments as a judge of their morals.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me
They worship the God of Big Government.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
Mother Gaia.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy
First amendment attacks by the Libtards occur daily.
Thou shalt not kill
Convicted murderers, no. Unborn yes.
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Both parties have a problem with this one.
Thou shalt not steal
Dems take from you a give it to friends who help them get elected. Obama knows this one very well.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
Yeah lying comes easy to Dems.
Thou shalt not covet
You didn’t build that.
