Moral Clarity (part 2)

Dennis Prager discussed on his show about moral clarity. America Leftists have the great potential to lack moral clarity.

When Ahmadinejad came to Columbia University to speak for a packed auditorium, the president scoured him. Ahmadinejad was given the respect to discuss his hateful language in a free context with little disruption. When Jim Gilchrist of the Minutemen came to speak at Columbia, he was violently harassed. Gilchrist is worse than Ahmadinejad in many eyes. Hatred for someone who wants to enforce our borders, respect for someone who wants to wipe a country off of the map.

The term "Axis of Evil" was condemned. "Evil Empire" was scoffed. In Britain, there is talks that the term Islamic Terrorism will be change to "Anti-Islamic Activity." Orwellian Doublespeak has truly begun to creep into everyday conversation. Can Western Society have the moral courage and understanding to call evil what it is- evil.

Many Leftists are willing and more than able to condemn evil that is done by Israel and the United States, yet when it comes to Islamic Jihadists, evil will be the last thing in a description. Islamic Fascism is evil and must be eradicated, evil on the par of Nazism and Japanese Imperialism. Yes, America has done evil things in the past, present and future. Moral Clarity is extremely important in this clash between civilizations. Sawing off heads is more evil though than not giving universal healthcare.
