A lack of ethical morality

Secular ethical morality is something that I've been thinking a lot about. That so many people voted for Walker is completely disgraceful. People for whom honor, virtue, integrity, decency mean nothing. It reveals a complete lack of ethical morality.

It's one thing that Walker has limited intellectual capacity. Another that he calls himself a Christian. Beating the crap out of your wife, holding a pistol to a woman's head doesn't seem very Christ-like to me. And neither does telling lies. Is being a Christian nothing more than a label? Is wearing a cross on your lapel the same as wearing a football jersey. Truly the Church has failed us.

The ancient classical Greeks esteemed 4 great virtues: Prudence, Courage, Justice, and Moderation (Self-discipline). Personal honor in living up to these virtues was everything. When was the last time you heard a Republican talk about personal honor? I don't think they even know what it means.
