What is Social Justice? (VIDEO)

Jonah Goldberg of the American Enterprise Institute tries to pin this catchall phrase to the wall.

In doing so, he exposes the not-so-hidden agenda of those who use it.

What sounds so caring and noble turns out to be something very different.

SJ is simple- take money from those who are willing and actually earning it and give it to those who are not willing and won’t earn it.

Of course, color is the classifier, as any form of justice other than “blind” justice is predicated on the premise that whites owe minorities....

Social justice = socialism/communism. No, it does not work where ever and when ever it has been tried.

Socialist justice =

Straw dog. Fake argument, a pretense, false problem: that only can be “answered” with a policy to take money, wealth, valuables from supposed victimizers.

Semantic Fallacy - or just plain, simple equivocation.

Liberals use justice after anything and define it as whatever they want it to mean.
