I meant religious right wing conservatives always lay claim to morality like it just rightfully belongs to them, like it is just naturally assumed they are morally superior to the left. They certainly infer as much often enough. However, I think if we look at their actions, the right has shown this country an example of a very bizarre kind of morality. They do not act in ways that reflect any ideas of morality I’ve ever imagined. If the religious right is made up of people who act in good and moral ways then the definition of good and moral they are using is not same definition I am using. It does not reflect any belief I hold about goodness and morality.
They are not the keepers of the morality for this country, as a matter of fact by their actions they have shown themselves to actually be the antithesis of what is morally right.

I agree to that for sure. Hypocrites. Organized religon is man's way to control man. I'm leary of anyone too far right or too far left. They usually are very angry and have a hidden agenda. That agenda usually has nothing to do with the best interests of anyone but them. That has been my experience.
