Morals and the Republican Party
The Republican party currently has control over the senate, congress, and executive branch of the United States government. The Republican party platform for this past election of 2000 was “good moral and Christian family values.” Obviously from the mere title of this platform and inherent flaw is discovered. The platform is based off that American, which is the most diversely populated country on the face of the planet, is almost all devoutly Christian.
American has a large mix of race and religion that is completely and totally unmatched by any other nation. In addition we are the most democratic nation that is currently functioning Without America’s vast diversity our nation would be by no means superior as it currently stands. With our diverse mix we have been able to assimilate the wonders of the world, while attempting to keep out the negative traits the world has to offer, this assimilation has caused America to grow to an economic and cultural level that has made it superior to all other nations.
If a man (or women) is dying in a hospital bed in tremendous pain, with no hope of modern medicine prevailing, some believe that the “morally correct” path is to end the patient’s suffering. While some citizens believe the right thing to do is to die naturally or “when the time comes.” Neither extremism is right nor wrong, moral or immoral. What is moral to one citizen is not moral to another. Morals are entirely subjective to the individual.
The Republican party candidate for this previous election said “I will restore morality to the White House.” A president can no more make a society moral than a society can make a president moral. The United States is currently no more moral now than if was 100 years ago and will not be moral 100 years in the future. Society as a whole will never reach an agreement on morals. Therefore, they will never become moral. Peace treaties are formed because both parties believe they will benefit from peace. They agree on some point at some level, whatever that may be. Without an agreement from both parties peace will not be achieved.
Personnel religion is by no means a guide of morals. Timothy Veigh was a Christian and he was largely responsible for the Oklahoma City bombings. Charles Manson created his own religion with socialist backings and was responsible for numerous murders. Osama Bin Laden is a radical Muslim who is largely responsible for the attack upon American coined “9/11". Religion is by no means an instant pathway to death of others, but proclaiming to follow Christianity does not automatically instill morals.
Tom Delay is currently being indited for a conspiracy to launder money, two democratic congressman are responsible for taking money from lobbyist . Richard Nixon was found out for having participated in the water gate scandal. Bill Clinton was discovered to have an affair. None of these actions came across society as moral. Government time and time again has in history to be immoral. Rather, it be the Nazi Empire, the Spartan Military State, or the Roman Empire conquerors. Government is immoral, it always has been and will continue to be.
The duties of the United States Government are broken down to the three branches, with checks and balances, the executive branch which enforces laws, the legislative branch to pass and create laws, and the judicial branch to interpret laws. None of these branches, created by our founding fathers, has the obligation to cite or create morals. This is due to our capitalistic economic system. Only in a fascist country are morals the obligation and duty of the government. The Nazi Empire and Cuban government both employ or employed fascism and the government incited morals to the people. In Nazi Germany the morals employed by the government led to the deaths of countless Jews, and any other nation that stood in the way of being “morally correct.” Government is not the proper device to yield morals to society. The society of course being made up of individual conscious decisions to adopt the government’s morals.
