Social Conservatives Are Mad

Says Richard Land, "Americans Don't Want a 'Truce' on Social Issues." And he's right. I'm mad that yet another progressive anti-truth shout-down successfully suppressed a conservative advertising campaign. As the ad's sponsor Life Always indicates:

... in today’s public square, it is sometimes forbidden to actually tell the truth, or even to tell one’s side of the story, without being shouted down. It’s like the old Ibsen play, The Enemy of the People. The man who discovers that the town’s water supply is unsafe is cast out of town for telling the truth. Telling the truth makes him the enemy of the people.

Right.

Truth is the new hate speech.

In any case, here's Richard Land:

There is a deep longing in large segments of the American populace for a restoration of a morality that emphasizes personal obligations and responsibilities over rights and privileges. Such a society will have a restored moral symmetry in which exemplary personal and professional behavior is rewarded and less exemplary behavior is not. As Jesus reminded us, "Man shall not live on bread alone."

RTWT.

Land is going after squishy cons like Mitch Daniels, who want a truce on social issues during a time of fiscal crisis. And while Land indicates that conservatives overlap on the issues --- economic, foreign, and social policy, the three legs of conservative program --- folks who abandon moral issues are CINO (Conservative-In-Name-Only), IMHO.
