Moral Equivalence Has Become a Moral Atrocity

Now here's an interesting one...hmm...how will Gulcher's respond...?
“Cycle of violence,” means that there is no moral distinction between a murderer and a policeman, between a society geared toward annihilating its victim and its victim’s actions to prevent that from happening.

Tip of the day...for once in your lives, ignore the author and the place from which she comes.
This mindlessness has eroded reason.

    The radicalizing of a nation is underway. I was listening to a progressive radio station in order to assess the psychological condition of the other side. What I found was that a man drew an analogy between Israel and the American police forces too, only this individual decided these are "occupying forces" which perpetrate "state violence". This individual's concept of "state violence" was placed above the concept of "justice" in that he believes it is the nature of the state to perpetrate violence (no distinction is made here regarding the proper versus illegitimate use of force). Since the concept "state violence" rests on the concept "justice" but then defines justice in terms of state violence, it is a hierarchical error, a stolen concept. The same error is made in most attempts to delegitimize Israel's use force to defend itself.

      Exactly...we are living in a full blown bizarro world...180 degrees from the one we once knew.

      Liberals and progressives do not want a hierarchical system...they shutter to think of it...they want everything to be the same cause they can't deal with the differences.

        "There is a fundamental conviction which some people never acquire, some hold only in their youth, and a few hold to the end of their days—the conviction that ideas matter . . . . That ideas matter means that knowledge matters, that truth matters, that one’s mind matters . . . .

        Its consequence is the inability to believe in the power or the triumph of evil. No matter what corruption one observes in one’s immediate background, one is unable to accept it as normal, permanent or metaphysically right. One feels: “This injustice (or terror or falsehood or frustration or pain or agony) is the exception in life, not the rule.” One feels certain that somewhere on earth—even if not anywhere in one’s surroundings or within one’s reach—a proper, human way of life is possible to human beings, and justice matters."

          Well said
          ...understand that this lack of mentality doesn't want to adhere to "a proper" way...they just want to make it up on their own...totally ignoring the laws the seem to govern nature and the cosmos successfully...thereby creating disorder.
          Conscious value creating Man and his mind is the only one on earth that Creates order and therefor value.

    To save our local bigots the trouble the excuse goes like this. It was the girls fault for sleeping in her own bedroom in an enticing manner and after all they are only Jews. Now you don't have to listen to nor read any of that bigotry I summed their position up and saved them the trouble.

    The real comment is and you want to let those kind of people into our country without some kind of way of vetting? Why not you do it for everyone else?

    For all of you. The main reason for the government to exist is to protect the country, the citizens and the Constitution. Any chance of seeing some movement on that duty in the near future.

    Waiting?



    Still waiting?:

    One wants to tend to the grapes the other wants to blame and murder the vintner.
    More mind boggling madness. Good and evil used to be easy to see. It still is , but not to a blind society.

      This is why they blame Israel, blame the cop and want to take your guns so you can't defend your self...their saving you the guilt of being no better that the guy that tried to take your live.

      The creatures that think this way have no fight and can't fly.
