[BuckeyeTexan]

Three of the terms used most frequently in Catholic social thought—and now, more generally, in much secular discourse—are social justice, the common good, and personal (or individual) liberty. Often, these terms are used loosely and evasively. Not a few authors avoid defining them altogether, as if assuming that they need no definition. But all three need, in every generation, to recover their often lost precision. Otherwise, the silent artillery of time steadily levels their carefully wrought strong points and leaves an entire people intellectually and morally defenseless.

I have tried, in three short essays, to find some precision in these three realities and to define them in terms as dear to the left as to the right—that is, in ideologically neutral ways. If I have failed in that task, perhaps someone can do it better. The more of us who try, the better.

I will start, today, with social justice.

"Social Justice" of today has nothing to do with established logical thought or 'the common good'.

Social Justice of today is an EBT card.

Social Justice today is a jury nullification of a minority crime against an evil 'white'.

Social Justice is confiscation of earned individual wealth to distribute to the slothful undeserving

Social Justice is third world camoflage abetting destruction of this country

Social Justice is EVIL working against GOOD

It means eating away at a successful culture until it resembles Mexico.
