Obama fights Ebola, not ISIS, retreats on battlefield but wages war against weather

What we see with Obama is someone with a liberal worldview which controls everything he does.

Yes, but it goes deeper than that as this author points out in the full article.

Unilaterally disarmed by decades of moral equivalency, Barack Obama and those with whom he surrounds himself are incapable of calling the enemy by name (remember, “the Islamic State is not Islamic”), let alone doing what it is necessary to destroy it (our stated mission against ISIS). In the immediate term, a lack of action is masked by empty tough talk — or spun as a good deal in the Rose Garden.

So, instead of waging war on evil people, they declare war on evil viruses, evil health problems and the evil weather. Confronting evil faces requires moral fortitude; confronting faceless evil does not. Rather than fight the world’s most dangerous terrorist army — or prevent Iran from getting a game-changing nuclear bomb — they deploy troops to fight a disease, ambush the school vending machine and lead a misguided crusade against climate change. And rather than ruffle a few feathers to get a decorated Marine back, they negotiate with terrorists in an attempt to close a world-class and humane detention facility in Cuba.

As I noted above, THIS is moral relativism Moral relativism is a philosophy that asserts there is no global, absolute moral law that applies to all people, for all time, and in all places. Instead of an objective moral law, it espouses a qualified view where morals are concerned, especially in the areas of individual moral practice where personal and situational encounters supposedly dictate the correct moral position.

Summing up the relative moral philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, “You have your way, I have my way. As for the right way, it does not exist.”

Worth reading is this interview with Pope Benedict on this topic: THE DICTATORSHIP OF RELATIVISM

The headline reminds me of Caligula’s war with Neptune and his great victory celebration.

I think you’re pretty much right there. Obama is a relativist and a dictator.

I saw the moral relativism that Pope Benedict XVI warned about beginning when I was in college (Saint Joseph’s of Indiana) under the label “situational ethics.” I rejected it then and still do, under its new label.
