Moral equivalency is running rampant. Hat tip to Dennis Prager for continually clarifying this issue. In the last week, we have two glaring examples: 1) the mother/baby elephant comments at the Va Tech memorial and 2) the Obama comments equating the violence of radio shock jock statements and mass murder by Cho to the violence of corporations moving jobs off shore--outsourcing. Week after week, it becomes increasingly clear that the left has a brain freeze when it comes to recognizing evil for what it is. Somehow they cannot bear to even use the word. A caller to the Prager show preferred to use the word "bad" as the opposite of good. As Dennis pointed out, "bad" is for your doggie when he jumps up on someone. Cho was not a "bad" boy, he was the embodiment of dispicable evil. Question: Is Bashir Assad just a confused "bad" guy who can be reasoned with? Or is he an evil person, a terrible thug who would resort to anything to get his way? Is Ahmadinehad a "nut case" who can be marginalized? Or is he an evil person, every bit as evil as Adolf Hitler, who will not hesitate to kill Americans anywhere and destroy Israel. The answers to these questions will determine our future, not only in the short run, but over the next decade. American leaders who think they can engage these evil men in a dialogue that will lead to peace are as foolish as the appeasers who gathered around Neville Chamberlain after Munich. These leaders will get us killed. It is as simple as that.
