Moral posturing

People claiming to care about things that didn't happen to them.
Iam "It's not that I don't feel bad about the situation but... How do I put this delicately?"

Hym "It's the moral posturing. It's people who weren't involved proclaiming to the heaven how bad they feel about the situation. Using it to push their various agendas."

Iam "And if you know anything about me you should be able to see why we're averse to 'people who aren't involved in a situation pretending to care so they can force their beliefs down somebody's throat.' "

Hym "It's an affront to the people who actually care. And I've said this before. I'm repeating myself at this point. That was somebody's job. Not my job."

Moral Majority

A group of 1980s Christians that attempted to press their agenda on the rest of the country, they were listened to but in the end, no one really gave damn. But after 9/11, it seems like it might be returning.
The Moral Majority is neither moral nor a majority.

moral turpentine

The evangelical preacher was an inveterate thief and a serial child molester. Still. the application of a little moral turpentine assured his place in Heaven. He was always careful to pray extra hard after what he'd call an incident.

moral fiber

"Moral fiber's about finding that one thing you really care about. That one special thing that means more to you than anything else in the world. And when you find it, you fight for it. You risk it all, you put it in front of everything, your life, all of it. And maybe the stuff you do to help her isn't so clean. You know what? It doesn't matter. Because in your heart you know, that the juice is worth the squeeze. That's what moral fiber's all about."

- Movie: The Girl Next Door
"You know, he's got great moral fiber. Regardless of circumstance, he stands by his convictions."
