The U.S. House Oversight Committee said on Wednesday it will issue subpoenas to President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and brother, James Biden, to appear for depositions, in an escalation of its impeachment inquiry into the president.
There are no moral absolutes, no foundational beliefs, no core values at the heart of Conservative ideology.
I disagree and you kinda touch on it later in the post:
If you view the world through this lens, any fight, any political topic, whatever it is you want, you are righteous.
That is the core value. It’s absolutism. They are good people therefore whatever they do is good. Or at least not bad. Abortions are bad, but if they get one, like you said, it’s out of necessity. Not because they wanted to. Not like the degenerate left, who does it for fun on a whim.
But that’s my point. It’s not moral absolutism, it’s identity morality. I’m good, so whatever I do is justified. You’re evil, so when you do the same thing I did, it’s evil because you did it.
They decry abortion because it wins votes. Winning votes helps them. Any progressive program aimed at reducing abortions is bad, because it’s not their plan and it won’t win them votes or donations.
Abortion still wins votes in certain locations. Much like the “Southern Strategy” helped the GOP win in the south. Reagan was the father of abortion in 1967 but switched to an anti-abortion stance to win an election.

Not these days.

Which locations? Because it sure didn’t in Ohio, Virginia or Kansas. And those are all red states with lots of very religious people.
