    "Psychologist Jonathan Haidt studies the five moral values that form the basis of our political choices, whether we're left, right or center. In this eye-opening talk, he pinpoints the moral values that liberals and conservatives tend to honor most."

    TED talk worth watching (18.5 minutes):

    ... is great justification of how, why Repugs, VRWC, BigCorp are fundamentally immoral.

    His finishing point is about "truth" (-seeking, -valuing), and obviously LIES, and fear (paranoia) are the entire basis of the Repug/VRWC ideology.

    btw, when lies, propaganda have instilled fear and paranoia and thereby HATE (about knitters, illegals, Muslims, the "others"), one's concern for, solidarity with others is diminished, if not negated. iow, installing fear is a key technique for dividing people against everybody else, "Divided We Fall".

    agreed... you'd have to be on ten kinds of drugs to believe the weirdass pansexual non-showering hipsters with purple-green hair and 50 piercings and 100 tattoos have "morals".

    I like Johnathan Haidt. He coauthored a piece in the Atlantic called "The Coddling of the American Mind". Worth a read.

    Mutually exclusive how?

    Just because someone doesn't share your morals doesn't mean they're immoral -- unless you're a religious zealot.

    Even then, immorality wouldn't be an objective truth.

    In looking through my diverse Facebook news feed, I've become fascinated by the narrative that liberals are immoral, unintelligent, unpatriotic, Godless heathens who reject objective truths and that conservatives are wholly moral, super-intelligent, thoroughly patriotic, angels who are grounded solely in objective truths.

    My favorite is when a "friend" offers that sort of characterization and then complains that liberals won't listen to conservatives.

    I don't think liberals (in the classical sense) are immoral at all -- quite the opposite, in fact. I don't even think the SJW regressive left is immoral -- just slightly infantile and insane. I'm not going to use their 71 gender pronouns or "check my privilege". Sorry.

    The notion that sexual preference and morals, or any lack thereof, can be deduced from personal appearance, is ridiculous.

    Doubting the begged questions doesn't mean anyone is on drugs.

    Not a religious zealot, not religious at all, but today's hipsters are ing weird as .

    Liberals tout science, but the scientific, cold hard biological fact is: There are TWO genders, and that is that. And they can make up as many sexualities as they want, but you're either straight or you're going against the grain of nature, that's a fact.

    Moral roots huh?

    Republicans in congress voted 100% YES for the 13th amendment. Only 23% democrats did.

    It doesn't have to be 100%, don't be obtuse.

    Generalization and stereotypes exist for a good reason -- if a solid or vast majority of conclusion B can be drawn from state A, then the correlation and judgment is valid. If you go by statistics and select a legit sample size, say even 50 or 100 -- you're going to get a solid majority of weird s from the disgusting "hippie" group I spoke of earlier.
