Spare me your moralistic grandstanding - you sound like a child

Liberal moralists are so funny.  Like Gavin McInnes said, liberals keep the mood light.  It's like watching cartoons.

Let us suppose a hypothetical*:  I tell I coworker I order off the internet to save on sales tax.  "You're cheating the state out of its money," I hear back.  This is part of a larger problem with liberals: their desire to take a stand on everything.  My problem is, I never have the bullet in the chamber to respond.  And so I must respond later in rant.

Que rant:

Please, spare me your moralistic grandstanding; you sound like a child.  You mean my money the state takes from me?  Who is the state?  What is the "state's money"?

Here's another gem they often follow up with (something along these lines):  "By living here, you implicitly agree to abide by our laws."

Wait, you believe that?  Like that it's a valid argument?  HAHAHA.  Keep going.  Really, you're killing me.  No?  My responses not promoting a meaningful enough dialogue?

This actually reminds me of another conversation we had.  You know, when I told you I thought voting was a waste of time?

You wasted your breath with childish platitudes then, too:  "But it's your civic duty."

HAHAHA.  Who told you that?  Your middle school social studies teacher?  Your Berkeley professor?

"But if you don't vote, you can't complain."

This isn't fair.  I didn't have time to prepare jokes.

So if I participate in your voting system and vote for Candidate A and he wins, then I can't complain because I voted for him?  But if I voted for Candidate B, then by participating in the system, I agreed to abide by its outcome.  So if A wins I still can't complain?  When do I get to complain?  That's all I really want to do.  Is there a vote for that?

You know what's so accidentally funny?  How liberals are so fond of portraying religious and conservative types as being moralistic sticks in the mud.

BUT ALL LIBS DO IS GRANDSTAND!  It's always something about gay rights, or reproductive rights, or welfare, or racism, or the environment, or... whatever.  They are so cult-like in their behavior they can't see that every cause they have is another iteration of the same argument: "My personal understanding of how the world functions and how morals should be defined is different than yours and is therefore superior."

But that's the real problem: they have no morals.  Their definition of morals leads to private property seizure, dead babies, and the extinction of superior culture.

Take the idiot I began my discussion with: it's wrong for me to understate purchases made outside the state to avoid sales taxes.  But he has made the rationalization somewhere in his brain that he is still a moral person even though he uses his brother's login to watch HBOGO.  Admittedly, I have made the same type of rationalization in saying the state stole money from me in the first place.

The difference is, I'm not the one on the high horse.


*NOTE TO THE IRS: This is a hypothetical.  I fully reported all earnings and purchases on my tax forms.
