What Happened to Moral Relativism?

Every informed conservative across America knew what was going to happen as soon as SC Gov. Mark Sanford admitted to an adulterous affair: every liberal across the fruited plains would be pointing out the devastation of his immorality. Well, the governor should suffer devastating consequences. His action was immoral and unconscionable.

However, when conservative-bashing columnists like Leonard Pitts, Jr., go to great pains to express moral outrage, it is little more than laughable hypocrisy. Liberals are the kings & queens of moral relativism. What basis do they have to judge Sanford? He was pursuing, after all, the course of action that seemed right to him. After all, this has been the course pursued by Clinton, Edwards, et. al.

Now, however, a politician engaging in an affair, deception, lies, and whatever other moral impropriety is a problem to liberal journalists, columnists, & bloggers who are now calling for his removal from office. We can only speculate why that would possibly be.

Nevertheless, Sanford still has potential in his political life. He can always move into the Democrat party where, as Limbaugh fondly observes, immorality becomes a resume enhancer.
