"It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see ...the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people........ if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?""

Rich Man, Poor Man - A Dose of Perspective from Bill Whittle
The Catholic Church recognizes Seven Deadly Sins and also has a list of the Seven Virtues. Look at both lists and assign a party affiliation to each one: Social Justice weenies notwithstanding, both sin and virtue are matters of individual behavior and conscience. They are not group activities. If a person behaves like a swine...or a Kennedy... his whole life and then explains to St. Peter that it's ok because he lived in a progressive society, he'll earn a ride on the fast elevator to Hell.
Democrats don't just tolerate the behaviors in the left-hand column, they reward them. We are all guilty of these sins at one time or another, but one side will rationalize them, normalize them and at election time, encourage them in order to win power.
