If I have a mission in life, it is to convince people that everyone is morally motivated - everyone except for psychopaths.

Love and work are to people what water and sunshine are to plants.

Liberals tend to be much more concerned about business and corporations as the oppressors. They look to government as the solution. On the Right it's the opposite. They see business as good, as what generates wealth in society, and they see government as the oppressor, which makes it hard for especially small businesspeople.

You can see the rider serving the elephant when people are morally dumbfounded. They have strong gut feelings about what is right and wrong, and they struggle to construct post hoc justifications for those feelings. Even when the servant (reasoning) comes back empty-handed, the master (intuition) doesn't change his judgment.

Congress is full of good, decent, smart people who have devoted their lives to public service.

Economic issues are just as much moral issues as social issues.

Liberals are my friends, my colleagues, my social world.
