Like most liberals, they hide behind “sob stories” to bring about a right for everyone. “It’s for the children”, “It’s for the rape or incest victim”, “It’s for the noble homeless”. Once the right is ensconced, they know everyone who can will take advantage of the benefit and thereby become more dependent on government to not only hand them benefits but continue to define morality in a comfortable way.
In the meantime, they redefine morality themselves. It is no longer about fidelity to God or to others but about treating animals and the earth right. It’s about not hurting the feelings of evil or lazy people, about not discomforting mass murderers in the death chamber, about not condemning leeches on society. Morality is about imposing standards on others and exempting yourself (”because my situation, of course, is different”).
“Morality is about imposing standards on others and exempting yourself (”because my situation, of course, is different”).”
yes - I’ve really noticed that last part.
These are sneaky workers who expect everyone else to abide by the rules, but they get to find loopholes.
Or they grin and act cute when they’re caught.
If they get called on the carpet they roll their eyes and wonder what the big deal is.
Weasles.
