Just cause it's rampant doesn't make it right. Oh, that's right.. the left gets to choose what "right" means.
For me, even if everyone and their brother do it, it doesn't make it right!!!
You are right.
But we are dealing with, as you noted, people whose judgment of right or wrong depends solely upon whether the act accomplishes a goal. IOW, the ends justify the means.
It's what New Left Stalinists do.
