Conservatives Are Hypocrites

First and foremost, many of my posts will be those which come in opposition to conservatives and Republicans. I am not doing this because I am a Democrat, I in fact dislike both sides, but just dislike conservatives a hell of a lot more. Starting off, I would like to address the moral strangle Republicans and conservatives alike have put on this country. Since Reagan Republican's have tried to use morals and religion as a way to show that they are more right to serve the country and its people. As well, they have fought hard to try to bring religion more into America life and use it as much as possible, not only by using it when they talk, but aligning with religious zealots. Many Republicans use religion to show how moral they are, by opposing abortion and gay marriage. First off, Roe v. Wade set a prescient by the Supreme Court that was set out giving women the rights they deserve. Many also disagree with abortion because it "kills", but also supported many wars they have killed a lot more actually living people, as well supported the death penalty. Additionally, Republicans have opposed same sex marriage, which is even a more mind twister. They first said they oppose it because the bible says marriage is only supposed to be between a man and a woman. First off, where in the bible does it specifically say this? Additionally, if we are taking the bible to its word, if it exists, then slavery, marrying your daughter and being close friends with prostitutes should be advocated. Furthermore, they make the argument that same sex marriage will ruin marriage. I ask, "how can two people wanting to get married ruin marriage"? Likewise, only half of marriages last in America today, marriage obviously is not that sacred if only half the people actually stay that way. Many of the elected Republicans have had multiple marriages, Gingrich, Reagan, Giuliani (married to his cousin) McCain and countless others. In most of these cases these moral men cheated on their wives, many in horrible circumstances and in many cases leaving their children behind, as Reagan had. I am not saying people from other political parties have not done this, but Republicans have pushed their morals so hard without actually standing for anything.
