Hey Oprah...we had the moral center until around 1968 and then your lefty buddies started screwing things up.

No more God in the schools.

No moral absolutes

Legalizing the murder of the unborn child

Abandonment of the traditional man/woman marriage

Celebration of the homosexual lifestyle

I could go on.

If we want to run with idle speculation, we can just as easily say that the heightened rhetoric from the left and the media are more likely to be contributing factors than any speech or tweet from the POTUS.

The left and the media have spent the last several years agitating - calls to run people out of restaurants and shops, harass them, doxxing them online, ruining their job prospects. How could this not feed a climate of hatred and toxicity? And if someone is already a little bit mentally unstable, this surely does not help.

Some facts:

-The shooter who attacked Republicans including Steve Scalise was a Bernie supporter.
-The guy who shot at the ICE patrol was an Antifa leftist.
-The murderer in Dayton was a leftist.
-The murderer in El Paso was Liz Warren supporter of universal basic income. There was a report, unconfirmed, that this murderer was actually inspired to murder because of his negative reaction to all the Democrats supporting free healthcare for illegal immigrants.

There is little, if anything at all, to link these shooters to Trump’s rhetoric and yet this is all we hear from the media. And his rhetoric is not as extreme as it has been portrayed by the left and the media. No examination of drug use, prescription or otherwise. No examination of possible motives. No evidence at all. Just idle speculation and knee-jerk blame for political advantage. And when Trump called for unity and disavowed racism - the left was outraged that the NYT would dare to actually say it in a headline!

I would idly speculate that the left and the media are intentionally ratcheting up divisive rhetoric and inflaming passions and that these kinds of actions are exactly what they are hoping to be the result.

Oprah is on the right track... but the people who need to find their moral center are the ones who are unhinged in their speech and analysis of current events.

Exactly! This leftist concept of everything and anything being just as good and moral as everything and anything else just means, in a relative sense, that nothing is worth anything. In reality there are good and bad with some neutral. Absolutes do exist!
