Pat Buchanan looks at ‘gay’ comment by comparing moral authorities of 2 Marines
***Begin Quote***
What this uproar tells us is that America is no longer a moral community. On the most fundamental issues – abortion, promiscuity, homosexuality, euthanasia, sterilization, cloning, and the creation of, and buying and selling of, fetuses for research – we are at war. What part of the nation sees as progress, the other sees as depravity.
And where there is no moral community, there will not long be one country. For in a religious or culture war, there is no peaceful coexistence.

Pat certainly has the ability to hit the nail on the head.
The problem is when we allow the gooferment to be a proxy for community. There is no “nation”; it’s a figment of a group imagination. There are only people.
When the gooferment uses force on us, that’s immoral.
If we were just left alone in peace to find our way, then we’d be so much better off. The problem is when we have to pay for things we don’t want, don’t agree with, or to which we are morally opposed. And every problem he cites is either caused by or exacerbate by the gooferment’s action.
See Pat is a socialist. He want his view of morality to be imposed on everyone. I’m a Libertarian; I want everyone left alone. I don’t want to participate in Pat’s morality. Nor Hillary Clinton’s. Nor Rudy’s. Nor yours.
It’s amazing how many problems go away when we just leave people alone as the dead old white guys tried give us.
My three hot buttons remain: the dole, honest money, and skoolz. Until we tackle those, we can’t reduce gooferment to a size where it really doesn’t matter what it wants to do.
