Well I would rather have all conservatives talk a moral game with some failing to live up to their own standards than to be a liberal that has no moral standards and lives down to them. What you and other liberals don't seem to comprehend is that our moral standards are derived from thousands of years of Judeo-Christian values and natural law. They are true and correct and the fact that weak men fail to live up to those standards does not negate their validity.

As an example, I would assume that you believe we should do everything we can to reduce energy consumption even though so many prominent liberals have a carbon footprint a mile long (i.e., 30,000 sq ft homes, private jets, SUVs). Or you believe in gun control even though lots of rich liberal elitists have armed security personnel. And on and on. I would never argue that those views are wrong simply because there are hypocrites like Algore and Hollywood elites who like to lecture us while they live the high life. No, I would argue they are wrong based on the facts.....
