Moral relativism and torture.
The amazing hypocrisy of the right never ceases to stun me.
They claim to have absolute ideas of "right and
wrong". The Left they claim, has no sense of morals and
will do what ever is convenient or "feels good".
Well, if torture isn't just plain wrong, what the hell is? 
Oh, but they would say "Were fighting for our
FREEDOM". Well bullshit, the only freedom to come out of
this war, is Bush now has the power to wiretap and torture. 
Sorry for the rant.

2. TO them "freedom" means "capitalism"
Esp. "money" in their own pockets - ie. "Were fighting for our MONEY". (Sometimes it's called, "The American way of life".)

What they do makes more sense when you keep that in mind. They will do whatever it takes to get it and to keep it.


And yes - they define immorality through their actions.
