Hey leftards, ever wonder why you spend so much time obsessing over easy moral issues like abortion? So does Blogging Tory Chris! Chris likes wearing toques. Check out the fancy one he's wearing in the picture above (he's the one on the left, standing next to the famous number 4!). Anyways, Chris tells us all a thing or two about a thing or two in a post called Right is Right.
Right and wrong are not subjective, relative notions. They are what they are. Right is right and wrong is wrong - regardless of whether or not you agree.
BOO-YAH! It's all so simple. Right is right. And wrong is wrong. And if you agree with Chris, you're right. And if you disagree, you're wrong. And since abortion is wrong, pro-choice lefties are wrong. Because killing is wrong. Unless it's for a war. Then it's right. But only if the war is right. Not shitty wars like Vietnam or Korea. But good wars like the war on terror or Dubbya Dubbya Two. Oh and capital punishment. That's probably right too. Because murder is wrong. And the punishment fitting the crime is right. And because the left thinks it's wrong. The left also believes in moral relativism, which is wrong. But the left is usually wrong, and the right is usually right. Right? Right.
If none of this makes any sense to you, Chris implores you to "think about it". After all, why should he do all the heavy lifting?
Yes folks, welcome to the blissfully logic-free world of the Blogging Tories. Where right is right. Wrong is wrong. And dumb is dumb.

"Let me tell you a thing or two about a thing or two". heh. I get that reference.
You forgot that while abortion is wrong, killing the doctor who performs abortions is right because it saves lives.
Bowler - I thought you might appreciate the "thing or two" bit. ;)

Exactly! See, you're getting the hang of this whole moral absolutism thing. It's fun!
Moral absolutism isn't just intellectually unworkable, its quite dangerous. It can start wars. It has started wars.
Maybe that's why so many conservatives seem to think human civilization peaked sometime in the late 1950s. More people were right then because fewer people were wrong.

So, if you are a true conservative you believe that human civilization jumped the shark around the same time Fonzie did? (Forgive me, its a Friday)
Bowler - Sit on it!
Speaking of the Fonz, did you ever watch the show Arrested Development? It was a brilliant satire, and often poked fun at it's own actors. In one episode, the family's lawyer Barry Zuckerkorn (played by Henry Winkler) said goodbye to the group while on a dock, turned around, and jumped over a shark lying on the dock as he walked away. Subtle, but hilarious jab at himself...
