Societal Mores

Liberals accuse conservatives of being stuck-up, snobbish, conceited, holier-than-thou behavior.  Why?  Because conservatives have standards?

because conservatives want to be true to themselves and not kowtow to the morass of your opinion (and of your ilk)?  you’re saying that the fact that they have morals, the fact that they are human beings who have boundaries that need to be respected, that they have limits beyond which is disgusting for them, is what makes you better than them.

A common remark from liberals is, "does it not change with the times?"
you mean be a wishy-washy, easily manipulated dishrag who is easily swayed and bullied and steamrolled over by popular culture?  no thanks.

We were human beings then, and we are human beings now.  We have limits.  Some of these limits are bad, like racism.  Other limits are good and serve very useful purposes.  Such as the fact that we do not tolerate murderers and rps, and we have enacted active law to that effect.

Let us use an analogy.  We see that academic and intellectual standards are failing miserably.  we see that the level of education attained by the average public school person is pathetically woefully subpar.

so perhaps college admissions all across the country should show some flexibility.  perhaps they should prove to the general public that they are "cool."
hey we're cool.  we're one of you.  we understand.  we sympathize.  we'll totally do whatever it takes to get you in.  If that means relaxing the admissions standards by one or two standard deviations, that's cool.

so they should not have any conviction.  they should not have any consistency.  they should just be easily swayed by popular opinion.  who cares about standing your ground?  who cares about being consistent?  who cares about___
