Moral Values 2004 

November 4, 2004

About 22 percent of U.S. voters said they voted for Bush based on moral values. The conservative right said they used this to win in 2004 and the liberals said they didn't believe it mattered.

What is dismaying that a moral person would vote for Bush based on what he has done these past four years or so. Morality concerns more issues than gay marriage, gun rights and a Christian god.  These are just a few things which show Bush and his supporters lack morals:

He started a war in Iraq based on lies. He shifted his lies to cover the ones he stated previously. He believes lying is okay.

He supports constitutional restrictions under the name of national security, yet counts on the Constitution to acquire power. He loves power more than God.

He supports a war that has killed thousands of people and wounded tens of thousands but to him, this is acceptable. He believes murder and killing innocent civilians is okay.

He holds he has done nothing wrong while in the White House these last four years. He implies he is infallible. It is blasphemy to intimate infallibility.

His deals to Halliburton have allowed it and its subsidiaries to steal from the U.S. people by not fulfilling contracts and over-charging. Bush has done little or nothing to stop this. He believes stealing is okay for his allies.

He has turned his back on the poor. His policies on health care, taxes and economics in general have made people poorer.

He wears his Christianity on his sleeve but rarely attends church, except when campaigning and announced in 2004, that going to church is not necessary for a person to be a Christian. True, but his Christian supporters believe going to church is vital for a Christian. Again he believes lying is okay to his political allies.

Morality means having emotional maturity to recognize right from wrong, having some social responsibility to take responsibility for your actions and having the cognitive ability to be able identify with others to do right.

 

Bush has none of those. He is immoral.
