Values?

Tired of hearing the right wing blow their horn about having values? The next time you get into it with a right wing blowhard, or ERWBDC (Extreme Right Wing Brain Dead Conservative), consider:

Which values are being demonstrated by allowing the disenfranchisement of voters?

Stopping the vote whenever possible demonstrates what value system, exactly? Other than fascism, that is.

Which values are exemplified by using lies, and worse, trying to do away with Social Security (FDR'S greatest social accomplishment) arguably the greatest social program in the history of western civilization?

Name the values one must believe in to take away the safety net of needy seniors.

Identify the values involved in ceasing to help dependent children who have had the misfortune of losing one or both parents.

List the values that one must have in order to decrease funding for the public school system using the now discredited Leave No Child Behind program, a program that could more accurately be named, Leave No Conservative Commentator behind given the Armstrong Williams scandal.

What values are those which makes the use bribery to acquire the lies of pundits to be used in support of questionable programs, acceptable?

What is said of the values of "leaders" who will obfuscate, flip-flop, and outright lie in order to promote a war of aggression upon innocent people?

Last, but not least, what can be said about the values of the people who support such disgraceful men?

When it is fully considered, there is but one conclusion: When it comes to values and morals the right is engaged in one of the oldest cons known to mankind, telling people what they want to hear, rather then telling them the truth. They have no equal when it comes to talking the talk but they fall so very short when it's time to walk the walk.
