The joys of the internet. I am excited to join the dialogue. It is impressive to see everyone so passionate about these topics, it creates an inquisitive atmosphere.
Let me begin my thoughts with the vision statement we created for my new company, "Through moments of truth, you dignify your integrity." We adopted this statement for us to remain focused that in every situation we are faced with in the nursing home, we have the chance do dignify our integrity by not betraying the truth of the situation. This applies politically also.
This applies to both sides of the congressional isle. One thing that CA said was that in real life it is hard to have just right and wrong decisions. In principle, however, there cannot be any gray area period. God spoke in the first book of Moses about light and darkness, not grayness. He also spoke about everything having its opposite, not almost an opposite. In every decision or policy there is an absolute right and an absolute wrong, in principle. The result of the decision or policy may not reflect the exact truth of the principle that is being discussed, but that doesn't mean there is not an absolute.

In the political arena today, it is apparent that too many people are concerned with an agenda other than what is fundamentally right or wrong. It does no good for one party or another to attack what they perceive as being good or evil, or right or wrong based on agenda.

How is integrity dignified by moments of truth in politics? Good question. I think if that question could be answered, we would have nothing to talk about today. However, I am inclined to point out that there are some ways to narrow it down. Unfortunately for some and fortunately for others, it does lie in the differences between what the GOP promotes and what the Liberals promote.
Consider the statements below:

Liberalism has caused the strong not to act, and the willing not to help. How? Just look at the social problems creeping into our communities.
Has political correctness given way to apathy and agendaism? Yes.
Has gay marriage ruined the right of an adopted child and squelched the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman? Yes.
Has affirmative action extinguished the chance for a qualified man or woman regardless of race? Yes.
Will leaving Irag early jeoporadize our country immediately for future terrorism on our own land? Yes.
Has not being able to say," Christmas" hurt the principles our country was founded on of free speach and practice of religion? Yes.
Has the debate between pro life and pro choice minimized the eternal nature of a child? Yes.

Do these scenerios seem extreme? No. Liberalism and the majority of democrats are proponents for every alternative to the questions above. Is it easy to see where the problem is? Hopefully.

    together Derrick, we shall take over the world.........poor Josh will be the lone blade of grass in a sea of cement.

    I think it was George Carlin who said that his true hero is the blade of grass that breaks through the concrete.

    My idea of a hero is the guy who weeds the sidewalk from the unsightly flora.........just kidding!!!! Geez! Lighten up!
