what the Left is doing TODAY, RIGHT NOW!
So, people who tend to vote Democrat, is this who YOU are? Do you feel that this moral or OK? I mean, at some point you have to stand up for what you believe is right! Choose wisely…
there is a HUGE problem, here!
“Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet,” Shirley wrote. “We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! It’s time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable.”
We need to understand, when we import people from non-western cultures, we are going to get non-western social and moral sensibilities! This is NOT about skin color or country-of-origin issues. it is about culture.
there is a huge cultural divide we are seeing with the Somalis. These folks are NOT doing something they consider wrong. In legal terms, for them it may be Malum Prohibitum, but it certainly is not Malum In Se.
In other words, it may well be contrary to the (rather arbitrary) rules, but it is not, in and of itself, wrong. It’s like you filled out form 73D when the correct form was 73B. Your garden retaining wall was against the rules ONLY because the HOA didn’t sign off on it first–not because retaining walls are inherently evil. It is prohibitum, but not in se.
And, as Joh Adams said, Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. And that religion is Christianity (Adams did not even fathom that it could be something else!).
But whether you are Christian or atheist or some mixture of the two, if you are western, your sense of morality is shot through with Christian concepts: Slavery is evil; lying, cheating, and stealing is just wrong; rape and murder are horribly wrong; even adultery is morally wrong, etc…
But for a large swath of people who are NOT western, these things are prohibitum at most. The lying, cheating, and stealing are not morally wrong, they are just, uh, guidelines. Flexible rules of the game, so to speak. And breaking those rules is simply not a moral issue at all. indeed, it might be quite the opposite…
a TON of sense!
The Somalis have been a scourge to us! They steal without compunction. And, as John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
And the Somalis tend to NOT share the western concept of morality. The ancient Romans would not have, either. The very old Assyrian civilization would have been totally at sea. When I lived in Japan, the old-school Japanese (and many of the younger ones) also just didn’t get it.
I watched a very good (musically) Norwegian group perform a negro spiritual. They did a great job, but the concepts were just too foreign to them and it had no “heart.” And they had to arrange things differently. It was beautifully sterile…
Non-western cultures are more or less able to comprehend and conform to the western way of being. It’s NOT just the language that is different–it is the entire essence itself!
terrible. Here’s what you get when you import certain sections of the third world.
One of the mass murderers is named Naveed Akram. He is from Pakistan. The other is Khaled al-Nabulsi, who hails from Lebanon and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS). Police said that they were “aware” of one of these grateful asylum seekers before he made the decision to murder Jews in large numbers in order to gain the favor of Allah. They did not, obviously, do anything to stop him.
I think the main issue is that it is naïve in the extreme to think that these imports will have the same moral and cultural sensibilities as westerners.
SPOILER: They don’t.
YOU may not consider yourself a Christian. Fine, but if you are a western civilization-type person, you are TOTALLY Christian in terms of culture and root beliefs. It’s invisible to you, because it is the water you swim in!
You feel it’s wrong to kill people, to rob them, to rape them, or to enslave them. Why? “Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother” says the words to the Christmas song O Holy Night. Do you think that the Romans thought that? Or, in the very ancient world, the Assyrians? PUH-LEEZ!
Your law is based almost entirely on Christian ideas and principles.There is a reason many courthouses had the Ten Commandments displayed! In western law there is a BIG difference even theoretically between Malum Prohibitum and Malum in se. One is merely a violation of procedures, while the other is a “bad” in and of itself.
A gag on Seinfeld was George meeting with the boss to get fired and the boss saying:
It’s funny because George is treating in se as prohibitum. And similarly there is a gross mismatch between what westerners think is wrong in se and what Muslim immigrants do…
In short, same planet, different worlds…
Joe Biden told us in a bald-faced lie that anyone admitted to the country would have been thoroughly vetted? Good times, good times…
But here’s the deal: Unless YOU get off your duff and go vote for Republicans next November, these “bad old days” are coming back! Evil never sleeps, and it’s up to us to be constantly wise and vigilant.
So make a decision RIGHT NOW that you are going to vote next November, and vote for good things. Your country needs you. Heavens, don’t sit this one out!
glad to see it. ANITFA is evil. And it is evil for ANYONE to support them, even tacitly…
Nine members of a North Texas Antifa terror cell were indicted by the Justice Department in connection with a violent attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, over the summer that nearly killed a local policeman.
… In a major shift for the DOJ, this is the first time that members of the terror group have been federally indicted on terrorism charges.
Folks, maybe you need to wise up and recognize ANTIFA for what it really IS! Do you really want to be associated with this? I mean, who ARE you?
It’s high time YOU took a stand for morality! Like Saul, just because you “hold the cloaks” of the murderers rather than actually throw the rocks does NOT absolve you of guilt! Far from it…
Don’t TELL me who you are. SHOW me. Words lie. Actions almost never do.
that crappy parenting leads to all sorts of evil. That is NOT to say that good parents never have kids who end up being moral monsters–we all have the moral agency to choose to do right or wrong.
The issue is only one of frequency, of odds. There are (thank heaven) a lot of people who had horrible childhoods who decided themselves to be moral and decent people. But there’s no question that generally good and moral parenting increases the odds of a decent outcome.
A generation raised without faith or moral grounding is now desperately searching for something to fill the void.
And when that search happens in the digital wilderness, without fathers, pastors or teachers to guide them, it leads not to purpose, but to poison.
… When a society stops offering its young men meaning, something else will.
And what steps in to fill that emptiness may be worse than anything we dare to imagine.
you for years now that there is an ever-widening chasm between what is right and what is wrong. Lots of people have tried to straddle this divide, and in the past it has been intellectually possible (if only barely defensible) to be a “mugwump”–mug on one side of the fence and “wump” on the other.
But the chasm has gotten so great that such a “solution” is no longer tenable. It was always logically brittle, but now there is no way it can support the weight that is put on it.
This moral chasm is getting wider and deeper. It is not simply between political convictions. It is between civilizations, or more precisely, between civilization and its antithesis — modern globalist barbarism, disguised as a nightmarish anti-Western utopia that leaves only misery and oppression in its wake.
still be surprised, but Even Democratic Party leadership seemed to realize how bad the optics were.
The House of Representatives passed a resolution on Friday condemning political violence and honoring Charlie Kirk, but nearly a hundred Democrats refused to support it. The final tally was 310-58, with every Republican voting in favor and 96 Democrats either voting against it or refusing to take a stand at all by voting present. That raw number is impossible to ignore: Close to 100 Democrats balked at denouncing political violence when the resolution also praised Kirk’s legacy. [emphasis added]
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries urged Democrats to support the resolution, admitting that he would vote yes but stopped short of demanding unity. In fact, in a caucus meeting the day before, Democrats were told to “vote their conscience.” A party aide even admitted the resolution was “very down the middle and straightforward.” Yet somehow, dozens of Democrats still couldn’t bring themselves to go on the record against political violence, at least not when the victim was a conservative.
… Earlier this year, we reported on a study that showed that “assassination culture” is spreading like a virus on the Left. According to the study, more than half of self-identified leftists said that killing Donald Trump would be at least “somewhat justified,” while nearly half felt the same about Elon Musk. This isn’t fringe; it’s a disturbingly mainstream sentiment on the left. The same crowd also expressed support for vandalizing Tesla dealerships, showing how easily destructive rhetoric bleeds into real-world violence.
Why on earth with any moral position ever want to be associated with them? It really is beyond my understanding. I used to be a “we need both sides“ kind of guy. But much of what I used to think is no longer true.
