| − | A '''double standard''' is a harsher or stricter attitude against someone else than one holds about himself or strangers. Causes of double standards include a lack of forgiveness and political bias.
| + | The King shall rejoice in thy strength, O Lord! |
| − | | + | Exceeding glad shall he be of thy salvation. |
| − | The double standard in the [[liberal media]] is obvious. For example, when someone obscure declares to be a homosexual, it's top of the news; when someone prominent converts to heterosexuality, there is barely a word about it. | + | Glory and worship hast thou laid upon him. |

| − | | + | Alleluia! |
| − | *hold [[conservatives]] to a higher standard than [[liberals]]
| + | |
| − | *a gaffe by a [[liberal]] such as [[Obama]] is downplayed, but a gaffe by a conservative is national news
| + | |
| − | *claim a slow recovery after a hurricane when the president is Republican is his fault, but if the president is a Democrat then it isn't
| + | |
| − | *are just fine with theories of conservative conspiracies, but ridicule exposure of liberal conspiracies as a "conspiracy theory"
| + | |
| − | *getting angry when personally lied to, yet raising no objection to [[liberal deceit]]
| + | |
| − | *believe what is taught by liberals in school before believing what is taught in the [[Bible]]
| + | |
| − | *hold grudges against others who acted no worse than one's friends
| + | |
| − | *disparage voters when liberals lose, but act like majority vote means something special when liberals win
| + | |
| − | *immediately believe anything that is contrary to the Bible, yet reject numerous counterexamples to liberal theories
| + | |
| − | *question the truth of what conservatives say, while rejecting any questions about the truth of the [[Democrat]] claim that [[Obama]] is a [[Christian]]
| + | |
| − | *racial remarks by liberals are no problem, but they will try to destroy anyone for making the slightest racial joke or remark against a liberal

| − | The son finally decides to return to his father in the [[Prodigal Son]] when he realizes that among the people he left his father for, "no one gave him anything," in contrast to his father's generosity. The son had been applying a double standard against his father, but no longer.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A useful approach to avoiding double standards in family situations is to "treat your friends like family, and your family like friends." Had the Prodigal Son done that, he never would have senselessly suffered as he did.

| − | *When the [[Republican]] [[Majority Leader]] [[Trent Lott]] made a remark with racial implications, he was forced to resign; but when the [[Democratic]] Majority Leader [[Harry Reid]] made a far more offensive racial remark, liberals defended his remaining in power.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *Wealth by a liberal, such as the tens of millions of dollars made by [[Al Gore]], [[John Kerry]], and [[Bill Clinton]], is just fine; but wealth by a [[Christian]] preacher or Republican politician such as [[Mitt Romney]] is somehow unacceptable.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *[[Global warming]]: Supporters of the [[Kyoto Protocol]] (an emissions reduction treaty) say that "[[correlation is not causation]]" when scientists point out the dozens of natural [[climate cycles]] linking changes in sunspots to changes in Earth's air temperature. But their argument for a [[runaway greenhouse effect]] is based on a single period from 1850 to present in which carbon dioxide levels and air temperatures have risen together.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *[[Evolution]]: Ardent supporters of the Theory of Evolution blindly accept any study that purportedly "proves" their theory, without addressing (or even allowing the criticism of) any flaws in such studies. But when it comes to alternative theories (whether it be [[Creationism]], intelligent design, or something else), the same people immediately reject them without even studying the details.

| − | *[[Wikipedia]] is much harsher in describing [[conservatives]] and sites perceived to be conservative. Compare, for example, Wikipedia's entries on Conservapedia and Scholarpedia.

| − | *Liberals supported and participated in a prayer for the late [[Ted Kennedy]] led by the chaplain for the House of Representatives, which expressly and repeatedly referenced the [[Lord]], yet the same liberals insist on the [[censorship]] of [[classroom prayer]].<ref>http://www.necn.com/Boston/Politics/2009/08/29/Prayer-offered-for-Kennedy-at/1251586062.html</ref>

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *Liberals blame conservatives for [[SOPA]] even though it came out of ''[[Hollywood]]''. Attack [[Lamar Smith]] almost exclusively for it, even though Republican Hollywood supporters are an abnormality, and give [[Patrick Leahy]], [[Al Franken]], and [[Chris Dodd]] a pass for advocating the same thing because they're Democrats.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *Democrats running primaries kicking party members like [[Joe Lieberman]] out of their party for disagreeing with them on an issue and having disdain for the decades-nonexistent 'Blue Dogs' and "centrist" Democrats, and yet constantly lecturing Republicans on how they should tolerate any amount of liberalism in their party up to and including voting with the Democrats on any issue and endorsing them for President. Indeed, if Republicans are unsatisfied with even the most severe [[RINO]]s, they're "intolerant" "purists" and the Democrats claim to have the higher ground.
