Youssef: Every Issue is a Moral Issue
CNN’s Jack Cafferty has advice for the GOP: Park your morality at the door.
On June 14, Cafferty expressed surprise that, in the previous night’s presidential debate, “social issues—like abortion, gay marriage, ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’—still manage to work their way into the conversation. And that may prove to be a problem for Republicans. … These are not the issues that middle America is worried about. They would like to be able to find a job.”
I submit that these so-called “social issues” mean more to “middle America” than Cafferty realizes. We call them “moral issues.” To us, abortion is the slaughter of innocent human life, on a moral level with genocide or the slave trade.
What Cafferty doesn’t understand is that every issue is a moral issue. The current bad economy didn’t just happen. It was the direct result of immoral choices made by our leaders.
