Page Scandal: The Moral Collapse of Modern Conservatism
A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION
by Brent Budowsky
It is the fault of George Soros.
It is the fault of the media.
It is the fault of everyone -- but themselves.
Men and women of faith should be deeply offended by the phoniness and
hypocrisy of certain people who betray the most basic principles of
integrity and faith to put partisan politics ahead of the safety of
abused young people.
Is there anything left that these people will not compromise for
power, money and political influence?
Conservatism is dead, after six years of a Presidency that called
itself conservative but violated the most basic concepts of fiscal
responsiblity, support for troops and the military, strict
construction of the U.S. Constitution, and American family values.
What kind of conservatives are not sickened and shamed that their
leaders in Congress are considering abolishing the program for pages,
because elders with great power are not morally capable of protecting
young people entrusted in their care?
What kind of conservatives have a line up of self-named conservative
radio talk show hosts who beam out a message of excuses for those who
cover up abuses, then point fingers at each other, then point fingers
at others, then make up cover stories that are ridiculous, with the
stakes so high for the young people they hurt?
This is modern conservatism?
What kind of conservatism supports massive budget deficits and massive
trade deficits and massive government spending full of pork barrel
corruption?
What kind of conservatism is not outraged when we send our troops to
war but do not give them the armor and protections they need?
What kind of conservatism supports those who threaten our commanders
with being fired if they privately propose a plan for Iraq?
What kind of conservatism stands for cutting spending for brain trauma
injuries for heroic American troops wounded under fire?
This is modern conservatism?
The excuse machine for spending gluttony that piles debt on the backs
of children, makes excuses when young pages are abused by conservative
leaders trusted by parents to protect them, then sends young people to
war without even giving them the armor, bandages and helmets?
This is the conservative idea of family values?
What kind of conservatism makes our nation almost totally dependent on
foreign capital from sources such as mainland China?
What kind of conservatism treats the Bill of Rights as a commodity to
be bartered away by unilateral President power, from those who once
stood for strict construction of the United States Constitution?
What kind of conservatism supports the use of torture opposed by the
leaders of the great religions but supported by spiritual advisors to
the terrorists?
What kind of conservatism accepts racially bigoted phrases and
accusations that a red blooded American in Virginia is not part of
their "real America"? This is the great hope of the "conservatives" in
the next presidential election?
Do modern conservatives believe Virginia is the cradle of the
Constitution or the playing field of the neo-Confederacy?
What kind of conservatism applauds a Fox television host who slanders
our Army that landed at Normandy and our Marines who took Iwo Jima,
with the preposterous charge that they committed war crimes against
the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese Army?
What kind of conservatism cheers the attacks on recipients of Silver
Stars and Bronze Stars because they are members of a different party?
What kind of conservatism applauds a National Political Convention, as
the Republicans held in 2004, that hands out toys that mock the Purple
Heart to promote a dishonest partisan attack?
This is modern conservatism?
A convention that makes fun of the Purple Heart?
What kind of conservatism accepts a policy that creates an Iraqi
police which our military says, correctly, is full of death squads and
torturers that kill innocent Iraqis and American troops alike?
What kind of conservatism tolerates an abuse of capitalism so corrupt
that more than $10 billion of Iraq Reconstruction money is stolen and
misused, with American taxpayers paying the cost and American troops
paying the price?
This is conservatism?
What kind of conservatism tolerates a policy in Afghanistan that makes
that country the world's leading exporter of opium drugs, which
poisons Americans on our streets, and raises money to buy the bombs
that blow up American troops?
What kind of conservatism supports a House Republican Leadership that
tries to pass a rule that would allow partisans indicted for crimes,
to hold the highest positions of leadership in the Republican
Congress, as they tried in the case of Tom Delay?
What kind of conservatism supports partisan leaders who fire
Republicans on the Committee on Ethics for supporting ethical
practices in Congress?
What kind of conservatism, what brand of Christianity, and what form
of patriotism leads these people to tolerate and take campaign
contributions from predatory lenders, who charge financially pressed
active duty troops interest rates as high a 800%, treating our troops
worse than Mafia Godfathers treat their loan shark victims?
This is modern conservatism?
What kind of conservatism supports energy policies that funnel
trillions of dollars to Middle Eastern despots, while they siphon some
of that money to pay terrorists who attack our communities, and use
that money to pay for schools that train their young to wage Holy War
to kill our troops?
This is modern conservatism?
And now the Republican page scandal, the final humiliation,
degradation and moral indictment for those conservatives who put
protecting their power ahead of protecting their children.
And now some who call themselves "Christian" "Conservative" and
"Leaders" betray the first principles of faith by making excuses for
the inexcusable, shaming themselves by tolerating shameful acts, by
powerful leaders, neglecting young people in their care.
These are the family values of conservative politicians and
conservative media?
Where is the moral and spiritual leadership of those who call
themselves conservatives?
There are many of us, who are men and women of faith, representing the
diversity of religion and the higher values we share in common, who
are speaking out.
There are many who are honorable and true conservatives, and honorable
and true believers, who are speaking out.
But there is also a poison deep in our politics, that has infected
some who call themselves "Christian" "Conservative" "Leaders" who turn
even the abuse of the young pages, by elder Congressmen entrusted to
protect them, into another arena of exploitive politics, devoid of
moral content, lacking any sense of moral responsiblity, integrity,
duty and true faith.
Shame, shame, shame on them.
Shame on conservatives who have allowed the conservative philosophy to
be prostituted by partisans abusing power, into actions that bear no
resemblance to the conservatism of its greatest founders and greatest
thinkers.
Shame, shame, shame, on those who seek money and power in the name of
the Lord, but trade integrity and morality for a privileged seat at
the banquet of corruption.
Praise the honorable conservatives who are true to their beliefs and
protest these actions that violate the cardinal rules of their credo.
Praise the men and women of faith, who do remember the obligations of
a higher purpose to resist the basic sins.
Praise the honorable religious leaders who are truly conservative,
truly Christian and truly leaders who put faith ahead of partisanship,
and put the Sermon on the Mount ahead of the Republican Party talking
points.
It is not the media or George Soros who are destroying conservatism.
It is those who call themselves conservatives, but in truth march
under different banners, with darker names.
Those who have corrupted conservatism in Washington are philosophical
imposters who commit wrongs that violate duty, honor and country and
commit acts that violate basic American notions of faith, family and
trust.
