Yes, Mark

Levin keeps pounding on us to be consistent, to never abandon our conservative principles.

This sage advice applies not only in the field of politics, but in the world of ethics, personally, generally and globally.

The ethical principles that guide us should grow out of the Ten Commandments, out of egoism, out of the Golden Rule, and with a touch of teleological intent that our actions must advance God's cause and be such as the Good Spirits would approve of what we are up to.

We seek to act well much of the time--we are sinners, weak, we fall down like the backsliders that we are--and do so to be consistent with our principles, and that is moral goodness and ethics in action.
