(Try reading this with a level of wisdom you think is right for you.)
If you believe that some people can create rights for other people, then you cannot believe in the equality of all people.
If you teach that we live in a world in which some people can create rights for other people, you are confirming to the sociopath that he is morally free to kill other people as he chooses.
And if you demonstrate to the sociopath that human life has no intrinsic value, and that killing other people will likely bring him acceptable consequences, you are encouraging him to kill.
I say to all liberals, it is your responsibility to consider these things, and to tak a hard, second look at your political ideology.
I tried to tell him that this was not how "rights" were determined, but he just thought that his opinion was as good as mine on the subject (and that he was right and I was wrong, of course).
Your right ofcourse, but the joy of being a Radical Leftie is that you NEVER have to think for yourself.
Radical Lefties are intellectually lazy and sycophantic.
Thanks, but credit for being right goes to Mr. Hsenz.
I do pray for Obama, and for liberals.
The truths are not self evident if one is engaged in suppression of the knowlge and worship of the Creator. No God leads to no truths leads to no rights.
Evolved monkeys set their own rules.
Rejecting the concept of OBJECTIVE truth leads to exactly what you encountered -
right and wrong are just an opinion held by an individual.
Noone’s definition can be “better” than another’s definitions without an objective standard by which to measure it,
so the version of right and wrong that we have to live by is simply the one adhered to by those with the power to enforce their own vision. This is why leftists seek power by any means necessary.
If you get a chance, ask him whether Mother Theresa was a better person than Hitler, and then ask him by what measure. I’m sure by Hitler’s measure, she wasn’t, and what makes your lib-in-question’s opinion “better” than Hitler’s?
What Obama really wants is a system where the elite can get quality care, while everyone else is stuck with the quality of care available to poor people.
