American morality scam

Long a weapon of the so-called “Religious Right,” THE MORALITY SCAM is ingenious in its simplicity: By limiting the definition of “morality” to issues involving human sexuality, devotees of this scam treat others as dishonestly, unfairly or cruelly as they want while deluding themselves into believing they are “moral” simply because they have (or at least feign) the capacity to blush at a “dirty” picture.

This is why Bill Clinton’s lying about a sexual affair with a White House intern resulted in impeachment proceedings, while George W. Bush’s lying about the motivations for the war against Iraq has not. This is why concerns over possible price gouging by oil companies, ruthless war profiteering, corrupt elections, or the millions of Americans without health insurance are incessantly diverted by distractions like “gay marriage,” or “wars” against sexually oriented materials.

The truth is the greatest immoralities in the world do not involve issues of human sexuality at all. Here is a list of just some of the immoralities Americans have endured while living under the tyranny of the Bush dictatorship:

- The immorality of those in power placing ethical standards on other people and nations that they callously ignore themselves;

- The immorality of assuming a veneer of haughty superiority even though success is not based upon talent or ability, but upon one’s family, marital or political connections;

- The immorality of hiding behind religion to conceal greed, selfishness, hatred, and hypocrisy;

- The immorality of so-called pundits and politicians basing concepts of right-and-wrong, not upon what is done, but instead upon who is doing it;

- The immorality of the Attorney General of the United States playing the “outrage” game when dealing with sexually oriented materials involving consenting adults, yet defending the illegal surveillance of Americans, clandestine prisons, detention without charge or trial, and torture;

- The immorality of stealing elections, then arrogantly proclaiming that God placed you into power;

- The immorality of denying DNA testing that could prevent the execution of the wrongfully convicted, as Bush did while governor of Texas , while claiming to be “pro-life”;
