You are very correct, Christine.  It is and has been a favorite mantra of the radical right to paint a picture of liberals and progressives that does not exist, and is even far more insidious: the most negative possible ("moral weakness," "anti-family values," "atheistic and materialistic," etc.  With that mind set, they then claim the higher ground when it is they who actually embody the worst of attributes, such as off the chart greed, self interest above community or country, selfishness and a superior attitude.  They drove this country into the Great Recession of 2008 and are pushing us towards another.  It is they who have no moral ground to stand on, and we do better to not listen to the likes of Joseph.  Paranoia is never a road to knowledge.
