Delusions, Morality, Puppies And Kittens

What happens when cancer infects a healthy organism? Simply stated that organism begins to break down. Sooner or later, without intervention, the organism dies.

The same thing happens when dysfunctional values are allowed to infect a healthy society. Sooner or later, without intervention, that soceity will pay a terrible price.

Dr Sanity’s, Who Would Have Believed It, is short but succinct look at the cost of dysfunction.

First, she states the obvious:

Slowly and almost imperceptably, the liberal left has morphed into the lunatic left. They have abandoned most of the liberal legacy that gave them emotional consistency and moral clarity; and instead, they have embraced positions that would have been completely inconceivable to imagine just a few short years ago…

It is this philosophy, slowly absorbed, that is responsible for the left abandoning any pretense at traditional liberalism, which used to champion the rights of the individual over the state. And it is the illogical and irrational tenets of postmodern philosophy that are at the heart of the moral and intellectual rot that has poisoned the liberal left and allowed its lunatic fringe undisputed center stage. Is it any wonder that they are not only comfortable with, but consciously (the leadership) and unconsciously appease and enable Islamic totalitarianism?

Of course, the ‘money shot’ is in an earlier post she has penned, The Four Pillars Of The Socialist Revival And The Rise Of Islamofacism:

Observe how easily Islam has been able to subvert key Western values–such as freedom of speech and expression–with a degree of invincibility and outraged virtue, capitalizing on a tactical opportunity that they have never before had in history. And worse of all, many on the political left–particularly the remnants of utopian socialism– are aiding and abetting the Islamofascists…

Multiculturalism and political correctness are two of the fundamental pseudo-intellectual, quasi-religious tenets– along with a third: radical environmentalism–that have been widely disseminated by intellectuals unable to abandon socialism even after its crushing failures in the 20th century. These tenets have been slowly, but relentlessly absorbed at all levels of Western culture in the last decade or so–but primarily since the end of the Cold War…

Clearly, we have managed to insult some of the most dysfunctional, racist and bigoted creatures on the face of the earth. Instead of being proud of our morality and taking a stand, we are apologizing for free speech and for the right to defend ourselves.

In the defense of the Palestinians today, western liberals are assigning equal status to those who hide behind women and children and those who believe UN schools are a perfectly acceptable place to hide weapons and munitions.

Imagine you had a neighbor who said he loved puppies and kittens. Imagine that neighbor spent every waking moment of every single day, promising the world that if just given the opportunity, he would take care of puppies and kittens, always. Suppose that neighbor went to the media and declared his commitment to puppies and kittens. Sounds like a pretty wonderful guy, right?

Now imagine that neighbor also said he wanted to kill blacks. Imagine he sang songs about killing blacks and imagine he sent his kids to a school that taught killing black people was mandated by God. Imagine your neighbor voted for a political party who promised the elimination or enslavement of all black people. Imagine that your neighbor went to a church where calls for the genocide of black people was considered a Godly idea. Imagine your neighbor celebrated violence against blacks with great joy and happiness.

Supposing there were a group of black people who lived next door who were sick and tired of all the attacks, threats and calls for genocide made not only by those neighbors, but by their friends as well. Supposing those black people said that they weren't going to acquiesce to their bigoted and violent neighbor.

Maybe that wonderful neighbor who says he only wants to take care of kittens and puppies isn't so wonderful after all. Maybe we ought to be asking the media why they are elevating the bigoted neighbor? Shouldn't we be asking the media why they are characterizing those neighbors as loving puppies and kittens butnot talking about their racism, bigotry and genocidal intent?

How often have we heard the expression ‘you are known by the company you keep’?

That the left has so much hate that they would support the likes of these bigots, speaks volumes about the left. They cannot see what they have become, as they parrot and embrace the words and ideas of some of the world’s great bigots, racists and failures. They are like pigs rolling in filth- unaware of the stench of their surroundings. That filth, hate have become home. The dysfunctionality is so profound that they cannot recognize reality from delusion.

They have rendered themselves irrelevant in a moral world- and that is why they so deperately need to change moral America into immoral America, in the same way Europe abandoned it’s morality for something far less substantive.

You can’t make moral choices if you live in a world of delusion- and not even the media can change that truth.
