I couldn’t read the whole thing either. Why bother... once you know the premise it’s pointless.
I agree with your comments. What we ultimately have here is more evidence of the leftist’s ideology, that nobody is right and nobody is wrong. Everyone’s view should be recognized as valid by the global society.
Our kids are taught that there is no evil. It’s more important what you think of yourself than what society thinks of you. Limited to wholesome ideals, I would agree. But that isn’t what is implied here. As a child it’s not necessarily okay to lie, steal and cheat, but if you do it, don’t beat yourself up over it. Everything is relative.
Here Amanpour extends that to it’s absurd conclusion. We bring violence to the terrorist. How is that differenct than the terrorist bringing violence to us? And obviously, she doesn’t know. Richard Gere just after 09/11 asked us not to meet violence with violence. No, just lie down and die. If the other side won’t agree to live in peace, surrender.
The left is on a suicidal penchant again. Sadly the main practitioners are seldom the ones who die. In Russia, not even the party leadership escaped death. Generally it’s the rich, middle-class and poor who die. In China the
rich, middle-class and poor did. In Cuba the rich, middle-class and poor did. In Vietnam the middle-class and poor did. In the US, should it go Marxist, the well to do, the middle class and poor would.
The very elites that are pushing the Marxist movement would die. It would simply be another repeat of history and this time the only nation that could stop it in the past, wouldn’t be around to do it this time.
Great points. The Left is so funny, always afraid of the Bible and using the "J-word" in public (I'm an atheist and I often amuse myself by telling other atheists "You know, we live in a Christian nation, right?"), yet they have no problem tossing out one single quote from that book in these circumstances: "Turn the other cheek."
Out of the most influential book in Western history, that's the only sentence of worth they can find.
They are deluded, thinking they have insight into what the Islamofascists REALLY feel--if only the evil US would stop all that evil stuff it does (sending aid overseas, for example) then the world would LOVE us!
Fools. And fools who, using the far reach of media, are trying to take us all down with them.
It is absurd how the left takes a double-standard and pretends that it is tolerance. Leftists claim that if some Christian women dress modestly it is the same as the Taliban. I must have missed where Christians gather “sinful” women in stadiums and shoot them in the head. Oh, the Taliban did that and not Jerry Falwell? But that is a mere fact, and the leftist post-modernists say there is no such thing as the truth (and logical contradictions are okay with them since they believe logic is just a meaningless construct). Post-modernist irrationalism is as dangerous a threat as Islamism.
