With the right-wing, there is moral decisiveness there. Sure the right-wing disagrees with abortion and many disagree with homosexual behavior, but right-wing behavior is really predictable. You can safely judge a person on the right-wing in advance because they will go to the bible and look up the Ten Commandments first before they shock society.
Liberals have no such moral decisiveness. That is why as I think of the future I think the next thing liberals will do is legalize pedophilia (sex with children), abolishment of all religion (the complete humanism of all political ideology), the elimination of male reproductive freedom (all reproduction in females will eventually be inside laboratories) and complete removal from society of all things that penetrate (feminist fear of penetration).

I don't know a single person outside of NAMBLA (and strangely enough, most libertarians), that want something as repellent as child molestation legalized.
Tell me then, what do those ten commandments (which set?) tell you about that?
"...they will go to the bible and look up the Ten Commandments first before they shock society"
Bullshit. I wonder if Jedi Knight or his ilk could name the 10 commandments, or conversly, know the chapter and verse they can look them up.
I thought liberals were wanting to do things like create jobs, save the environment, have a fairer taxation system, bring the troops home, provide better standards of education and healthcare and so forth.
Apparently not. But let's do as you say and examine the 10 commandments as a test.
I'll assume you're going for the doctored version in Exodus 20, not the ones God wrote on stone tablets.
Paedophilia:
Liberals - It's wrong and an abuse of power and trust and duty of care. There are serious mental and physical health issues.
Bible - It does not forbid paedophilia in any way at all. The age of consent has been continually raised as we become a more enlightened (and longer living) society. Furthermore, respect thy mother and father or be stoned to death. That means if they want to have sex with you, or sell you to an older wealthy man so he can have sex with you, you have to obey under fear of death!
Abolishment of Religion:
Liberals - No, everyone has the right to their own personal belief as long as that does not adversely impact on others or break any laws or contracts of society.
Bible - Abolish all religions except mine!
the elimination of male reproductive freedom:
Liberals - Ummmm what? Aren't liberals being constantly criticised for their hedonism and loose morals? (apparently) You need look no further than the paedophilia strawman you just raised.
Bible - Oh here we go. Here's where the sexual repressions and the thou shalt nots come in. Thou shalt not covet your neighbours wife (or any of his other property). Thou shalt not commit adultery. And all the other constraints. So who exactly is curtailing freedoms? Just because no woman in her right mind would sleep with you doesn't mean they're curtailig everyone's freedom dickhead!
Sorry, but the right-wing is not predictible and doesn´t follow the OT either. At least, I see no place in the Bible where they see peace as a menace or they go after those who sell lobster. Second, taking into account that they´re trying to eliminate the age of consent and that they´re trying to push their ideas into others, I don´t know where do you get these ideas. And what reproductive freedom from males are you talking about?, are you telling me that you´re in favour of mistresses, prostitution and treating the kids as chattel?, in favour of rape and statutory rape?
(feminist fear of penetration)
That's funny, in the sixties the feminists were accused of promoting godless sexual freedom.
"....and complete removal from society of all things that penetrate (feminist fear of penetration)."
Because, of course, feminism == militant lesbianism.
My SO is a feminist, but doesn't seem to 'fear penetration'. Which is nice for both of us.
Sorry, but the right-wing is not predictible and doesn´t follow the OT either. Exactly. They follow what they think the OT says, which, by some odd coincidence, agrees perfectly with what they want it to say. At best, they engage in cherry-picking and creative reinterpretation to "prove" their point. So much for going to the Bible.
By the way, Jedi Knight seems not to have noticed that there are multiple waves of feminism and that this is no longer the 1980's.
So it doesn't matter if a decision is good or bad, as long as decisions are being made? A ludicrous notion. There's nothing more dangerous than a man of action when nothing need be done or can be done.
Incidentally, all of those things you say liberals will immediately set out to do sound pretty decisive to me, so your statement is logically inconsistent - either liberals are undecisive and thus wont do any of the things you allege, or they are decisive and will go ahead with them. You lose either way, but don't worry, you're quite safe because your idiotic post doesn't actually reflect reality anyway.
No, no, no. Actually, we're going to make watching Buffy compulsory, ban Star Wars cause it's shit, play REM tunes at you 24/7, and worst of all, force you all to sit in comfy chairs!
If Jedi Knight could twist his body like he does his mind, he could get famous as a contortionist.
Oh, and I think that a vast majority of women (as well as a healthy number of men) would be quite pissed off if you deprived them of their penetrating toys, be they flesh, plastic or of a more artisanal variety... ^^"
"All things that penetrate"?
Next up on the Liberal agenda, we will ban screws, nails, and powerdrills because they make us feel uncomfortable.
Now, I can understand why liberalism might look indecisive -- liberalism is, almost by definition, an attempt at balance, a compromise between hierarchical traditions, liberty, and whatever counts as "progress" and "prosperity." Unlike "Jedi" here, though, I can recognize that this is what's happening, and even respect it to a degree. Then again, maybe that's a leftist thing -- if you refuse to accept the moral legitimacy of hierarchy, respect is about all that's left.
With the right-wing, there is moral decisiveness there.
Iron Age morals of desert nomads, not really applicable to the 21st century.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
