The democratic party is morally superior to that of the republican party

These ideas sprouted out of the enlightenment period when everything was becoming more secular. Our Country was not in fact based upon the Biblical values. If biblical values were truly what our constitution was based on, then why aren't all the commandments in the ten commandments observed? The single, most important commandment Jesus truly set up for us was to love our neighbor. 'Love your neighbor as yourself. ' There is no commandment greater than these. "-mark 12:31. moral-founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct rather than on legalities, enactment, or custom(dictionary. com)ethics-the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc. legality-the state of being in accordance with the lawenactment-the process of passing legislationcustom-a traditional and widely accepted way of behaving or doing something that is specific to a particular society, place, or time:right- in accordance with fact, reason, or truth; correct or truetruth-something factual: the thing that corresponds to fact or realityfact-a thing that is indisputably the caseok so, sorry i mentioned this earlier, but morality is not based upon God. Morality is based upon conduct that is in accordance with fact, reason, or truth. If there is no God, which is a possibility, then where would be our ultimate source of rights? According to that ideology, without God, we would have no rights, yet you pointed out there might not be a God. We have the Right to religion, i cannot emphasize them enough. I do not care whether or not someones attitude on God has changed, it is purely up to them to decide. We must as the United states of America respect the freedom of our own conscience from the religious views of our state. Yes, our founders did believe in a God, but our framers did not envision something like a theocracy where God's law is in control, where God's glory is the sole purpose of the government. They envisioned a representative democracy and separation of power between legislative, judicial, and executive. Democrats do not hate God, but are trying to protect religious freedom for all. Religious freedom entails a freedom to not have a religion so by stating "under God" would be to infringe on that liberty. The pledge was created in 1945, the pledge added "under God" in 1954 by congress. The pledge has been ruled not mandatory to be recited by the supreme court for the religious nature. The 1963 ban was unconstitutional. Can we stop debating about God and move on to morality of the political parties? morality is founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct rather than on legalities, enactment, or custom. looking for answers in the Bible is a custom specific to christian Americans. moving on to the real morality issues. .. .Homosexuals and gays should be able to marry, it is moral because it is in accordance with fact, reason, or truth. It is a fact that Gay people want to marry. It is a fact that they can be happy together. Why are we using the bible to bar them from attaining happiness together? If one man and a woman can be married, isn't it fair that a man and a man can get married since men and women are equal and one can trade off with another? According to morality, Gay marriage is in accordance with fact, reason, or truth, because it is reasonable for two people who love each other to have the ability to be with each other. The very basis of con's argument that Democrat have "enslaved" black people as merely voters is incredibly dehumanizing. Con sees black people as something to be taken advantage of, something to be decieved for the benefit of one party. This is a very mean thought as it sees this group of people, not as individuals who can think for themselves and act for themselves, but as mere pawns that we supposedly "created. " My opponent fails to realize that not all black people vote Democrat, but a majority do. By thinkin Also, minority groups like latinos, blacks, and asian tend to vote for democrats because of their policies that are nicer to immigrants(im an Asian immigrant myself). We also like many of the social programs Democrats offer like Obamacare. Also Democrats are trying to do a lot of education overhaul like republicans, were on the same boat the education should be increased like plans such as "race to the top" endorsed by obama and funded by the federal government. I don't really understand why your saying that Democrats are trying to "control" and force these people to do anything. Republicans are trying to cut food stamps, which feeds hundreds of thousands of people who are struggling, this is a factor why some black people vote democrat. Taking the right to feed yourself, in my opinion is unethical and wrong. BTW, 90% of babies are aborted before the first 12 weeks. Your abortion argument is barely valid since it no longer has much impact. OK abortion is not how you describe it, they do not "chop" up the fetus, yes, they do use suction technology in order to remove the fetus. We are not ending the babies choice to live, the baby was created by a mother and if the mother chooses not to have the fetus, who are we to tell her she cannot do what she wants with her own life? We support the right to a safe abortion, otherwise we would have desperate women seeking illegal alternatives like dumping infants into trash cans etc which is not only unsafe for the woman, but is unethical because the child has begun to percieve pain etc, whereas 90% of abortion cases occur before pain kicks in. Also, women have the right to do what she wants with her body, whether you like it or not, you cannot control her, its unethical to try and force your rules upon her. Republicans give more to charity because there are more republicans in the upper 20% of income levels therefore they have more to give. Democrats comprise more of the lower and middle class. How do you possibly encourage a good work ethic might i ask? If there are starving americans, it is a moral obligation to feed them and to ensure that they have atleast someplace warm to stay at night. Democrats advocate for welfare because we know the bottom 20% struggle to feed themselves and afford a warm place to stay at night. The bottom 20% are not all lazy, unworking people! The bottom 20% comprise of minimum wage earners and immigrants. Do you think that people who work at you local mcdonalds are incredibly lazy? It's immoral to assume all poor people are lazy and that they need to be "taught good work ethics. "Freedom of Religion is the Freedom to follow a religion or not follow, therefore it is the right to be able to be freedom from religion, because it is a freedom and some people may choose to follow the religion of no religion which my be freedom from religion. voters, vote for the best argument, thank you and have a nice day.
