I think it's about time more Democrats stand up, be vocal, and shout out about morality.
Not pretense. Not word games. Not rhetoric. Not formulaic/theoretical reframing... I mean REAL morality.
I.e., if you care about morals, raise your voice against torture, raise your voice against corruption and greed and hypocrisy, raise your voice against bullying, raise your voice against lies, raise your voice against abuses that are done in the name of religion OR in the name of secularism.
BUT if you really don't care about morals, if you really don't give a crap about good or evil, if you really aren't spiritual, then do everyone a favor and stand aside while me and Democrats like me wag our fingers right back at the finger-wagging religious right and the pretentious false patriots.
PLEASE don't get in our way by waving your own fingers if you don't mean anything moral by it, if you really don't think there is any firm moral position against torture, or if you are so relativist that you really don't think there is a REAL human right to be free from rape and torture.
I.e.,
Sam Harris, thanks but no thanks. Your broken middle finger can't wave the way mine flags the fundies...
For the sake of the nation, seriously.
