THE REPUBLICAN’S DOUBLE MORAL

After poverty, double moral has been the thing that has caused the most damages to the human being. Using Olympiads terms, poverty gets the gold medal and double moral gets the silver medal. People who us double moral are called moralistic and they, in one way or another, have delayed the development of the science, social progress or improvement of people’s life condition. The moralistics act in disagreement with their principles or moral values, given that they make an effort to show a virtuous or religious life in public, while in private, they have a disastrous and sinful life. Nonetheless, the thing that really produces nausea is the fact that these kinds of people use all kind of resources that they have in order to obligate the others to live in their hypocritical life style.

If history is examined, we can observe that conservatives, republicans or political parties of the right wing have appropriated moral values to keep or impose anachronistic and obsolete rules. Likewise, these people have prevented and/or oppose to the human progress. In the United States, the Republican Party has presented itself as the natural and stronger defender of “the moral value” and as always, has raised the “moral flag” throughout this presidential election. In this order of ideas, John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his Vice-President because she represented the American family’s moral value due to her virtuous life. However, few days later it was discovered that her seventeen year old daughter, Bristol, was pregnant.

The Republican Party, that has always affirmed that on the adolescent’s pregnancy is reflected the dysfunction of a family as it is a consequence of bad example received from their negative family environment, now the party is idolizing Palin because she said that she is going to support her daughter in this enriching and fruitful experience.

In this order of ideas, it is incompressible the position assumed by Obama when he said that the Bristol’s case would not be discussed in this political campaign because it is a private family matter. It is true the fact that a pregnancy of an adolescent is a private family issue, but it is also true that in the pregnancy of the Palin’s daughter is reflected, pictured and represented the Republican’s double moral. Consequently, Obama had the unexpected and unrepeated opportunity of demonstrating the world the double moral of the Republican Party, especially to those who for some reason have not rationalized the hypocrisy that characterizes them. Freud was right when he sustained that one shall “be suspicious of those who are too moral, too upright and inflexible in their principles.”

The double moral do no exist only in the Republican Party. In fact, this immoral behavior is used in all the political groups.
