Random Politics & Religion #23 (Fake News)

It's nice to see some rumors and unsubstantiated news coming from our side of the fence every now and then. The MSM can't have all the fun.

Maybe James Comey will be on Dancing with the Stars...what D list celebrities normally do.

I'd say Lady Liberty is a 2/10...I've seen better.

And your thoughts on Lady Justice?

I don't know. I don't normally spend much time thinking about statues.

You can't make this crap up department.

So?

Here you go liberals and moral relativism:

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2013/03/the_lefts_moral_relativism.html

I'll just pick out the main point for you guys:

Moral Relativism is the precarious philosophical position that moral judgments are different across different people and different cultures. The terms "good" and "bad," "right" and "wrong" do not stand subject to universal truth conditions, rather they are relative to the traditions, practices and views of the group or society in which they are constructed.

Consistent with the utopian, radical egalitarian core of their belief system, liberal/progressives believe that no group or society is better than any other, and that the different moral views held by others cannot be judged as superior or inferior, or right or wrong. Furthermore, they believe that one must tolerate the behavior of others even when one disagrees about the morality of that behavior.

The egalitarian appeal of moral relativism is exemplified in the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, who stated that the problem of morality is that those who were considered "good" were the powerful nobles who had more education, and considered themselves better than anyone below their rank. They determined the standards to perpetuate their values and status. This theory nicely reinforces the narrative of class warfare between oppressors and the oppressed that so animates the liberal/progressive impulse.

Common sense would contend that civilization could not be sustained for long if the universal objective moral standards of right and wrong and good and bad did not exist. It would be impossible for people to definitively distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Without such standards, disagreements could not be arbitrated if both disagreeing parties were considered to be correct and their behaviors could not be judged. Murderers could not be brought to justice if one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. The chaos that would arise as a result of this foolishness is self-evident.

This is another example of the stunning incoherence and contradictory nature of liberal/progressive thinking. Larrey Anderson, a frequent contributor to American Thinker, has described the folly of moral relativism as:

A standard of standard-less behavior... Where society agrees to a social contract to have no social contract...fostering a cult of tolerance, where those who enter avoid the difficult process of making an actual (moral) choice and get to feel good about it...where political correctness enforces this "approved" way of thinking, contradicting the very concept of tolerance that they elevate. (2)

Proclaiming that George Washington and Yasser Arafat are on the same moral plane exposes the intellectual frailty of the liberal/progressive punditry and their moral relativism.

I'll have two scoops of every gender...56 genders sir...*** !

This is *** hilarious. Guy owns a global financial empire making him billions of USD in locations across the world. To handle localized legal issues he hires law firms in these countries to handle them. Standard practice of any global business entity, but since liberals / progressives know jack ***they think "TRUMPS RUSSIAN!!!!1010101", I mean look at his hair right.

The guy has a law firm in Seoul South Korea, guess that means he's secretly a Korean spy.

What's worse, they stated that Trump had some Russian-sourced income, but what they named as Russian-sourced, it was:

2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Russia.
2008 Sale of a Florida condo to a Russian national.
Incidentals from visitors from Russia to Trump-owned facilities.

If that's the "smoking gun" that liberals/democrats claim to signify ties to the Russian Government, boy, do they have a big problem! I mean, Clinton has also received those same types of sales throughout the year from Russia, and also from other non-friendly countries (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc.).

Might as well admit that Clinton is also a <insert whoever is considered bad today> spy!

Maybe Miss USA pageant is a way for Russian spies to infiltrate America and bring it down from the inside....yes that's it !

While you were asleep:

Oh no trouble's a brewing better get your pitch forks ready ! First the White House then the world !

So basically some liberals are mad any other breaking news to report ? Water is wet ?

Nope Clinton's perfectly safe because she's one of them. Those who fight for "The Cause" are excused for any criminal or unethical conduct.

CNN
Washington Post
Slate ... seriously slate..

All hyper progressive "We must Resist Trump" places. Nobody takes them seriously anymore, not since the eve of the Trump election when supposedly unbiased news anchors broke down because Her Majesty lost.

I don't even take them seriously Saevel, just good entertainment.

I will grant you that this administration is entertaining.

Most of the entertainment comes from the left though.

All this hyperventilating is fun to watch.

I mean, when Ice Creamgate is considered CNN newsworthy, that's how desperate they are.

The Irrationals: Trump’s Opponents Are His Greatest Asset

Way too many good points to quote in this gem of an article that both calls out the faults of Trump and rips into his opponents, but here's an excerpt starting from the beginning:

That's not why people are upset at Comey's firing.

Its funny how all these "blogs" just ignore all the backlash that came from the GOP. Nobody supported the pathetic timing of Comey's firing, and nobody (other than us Dems) was amused with the shenanigans that came of out the WH all week trying to spin the move as some kind of positive. Now whoever succeeds Comey is going to face serious bipartisan scrutiny in the confirmation process, better not have any kind of connection to Trump. Fox News, who is still under investigation and has zero credibility, can spin it however they want, it was a terrible week for the Trump circus, as more Republicans bail.

The only people who are upset are liberals who didn't vote for him anyways.
