Thanks to their handy convention, I think I've nearly
got Republican ideology figured out.
Getting paid to serve your country is good, but getting
paid to serve your community is bad. Government is bad
when it tells you what to do about your tires, but good
when it tells you what to do about your womb. Going to
Iraq (or Vietnam) as a warrior, risking life and limb
to serve God and country, is good; but risking life or
limb to serve the truth as a journalist... wait, gimme
a second... yeah, you're part of the left-wing
mainstream media, so that's bad. Investing in
alternative fuels because of global warming is bad, but
seeking alternative fuels to achieve independence from
evildoers is good. And drilling for oil is always
really, really, REALLY good, but taxing oil company
profits is always really, really, REALLY bad... and
Dick Cheney had nothing to do with this message!
I just have just one remaining question: what does
"moral equivalency" mean?
