Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

You joined the ping list after this was posted. Take a look.

Maybe we forgot send enough body armor when we sent them. But now Murtha wants to deliberately take it away.

[USMCWife6869]

A man old enough to know how the world works, and with his hands on an important lever of power: for he can actually do things through that subcommittee to leave U.S. Marines in Iraq up the creek. And my question for him is, “How can you even consider it?”

I wish that I could lock him a room with me until he answers just that one question. That is all I want from Murtha at this point is a straightforward answer as to how he can even consider what he wants to do to our men and women over there.

ne might guess they were children who did not understand the consequences of their acts, or that they were revolutionary saboteurs who did not care. But there is no third possibility.

This is the description of liberals everywhere. Our educational system is set up to create lifelong children, and the more intelligent liberals advance the agenda knowing full well the consequences and knowing they will be able to blame it on Conservatives with the help of their accomplices in the media.

Murtha has lost it "big time".!!!!!!

Liberalism, at it's psychological essence, is not any set of coherent political beliefs, or even a philosophical foundation; rather, it is a basic inability to accept responsibility. Liberals attempt to escape responsibility from their words, their actions, their history... even from their beliefs.

Knowlege itself requires responsibiity. The left cannot even acknowledge that their actions are lunacy by any measure... Why should any thinking person expect that, given the behavior of the democrat party as of late, liberals should be treated as anything other than children?

Even children deserve at least a little wiggle room; they are, after all, children, with undevoloped faculties for higher reasoning and the attendant innocence that comes from the state of being a child. The malignancy of liberalism, however, comes from adults, who are unable or unwilling to interact with rational thought or even reality itself.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.

An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known, and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very hall of government itself.

For the traitor appears no traitor.

He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in hearts of men.He rots the soul of a nation.

He works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city. He infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.

Here is the hole in so much political argument today. It depreciates what was called “prudence” -- the “mould and mother of all virtues” in the antiquated, but still correct, view of the greatest philosophers of the past. And when that is lost, everything is lost.

Wouldn't be prudent...sound familiar ?

The essence of the Democrats' actions, i. e., Murtha's, are intrinsically counter to the DNA in every one of us that has enabled our ancestors to survive.

Those of us not intent on a death-wish, sense this intuitively.
