Morality...When it Suits Me

Voices Carry points out the interesting and rather funny change in tune from the "can't legislate morality" Leftists in the face of the financial meltdown the United States is staring in the face.

Pastor Steve says that even ultra-liberal Barack Obama understands the proper role of morality in public policy, from Audacity of Hope:

"To say men and women should not inject their "personal morality" into policy debates is a practical absurdity; our law is by definition a codification of morality."

Of course now that greed (and a little "overlooked" politically correct government affirmative action lending regulation) on Wall Street has produced a financial train wreck, we hear the Leftists crying out for the lack of morality in the financial industry.

It is true that immorality has had a great hand in producing this problem...as it has family breakdown, educational mediocrity, and pretty much every other problem our society faces today.

It's interesting how Leftists trash and malign every shred of morality they encounter...until the lack of it can be blamed for problems in something they already hate: capitalism.

Perhaps what they mean is, "You can't legislate morality that interferes with the immorality I want to do."

If that is the case--and I'm sure that it is--we should just be clear about that.

And weigh it accordingly when considering public policy that can clean up and heal the broken landscape that has become our American society in the past 50 years.
