"Someone who does not know the difference between good and evil is
worth nothing." – Miecyslaw Kasprzyk, Polish rescuer of Jews during
the Holocaust, New York Times, Jan. 30, 2005
It took a Polish rescuer of Jews in the Holocaust, cited this week 60
years after the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration and death
camp, to best describe those people who cannot or refuse to know the
difference between good and evil. They are "worth nothing."
Since I was an adolescent, I have been preoccupied with evil:
specifically, why people engage in it and why other people refuse to
acknowledge its existence. As I have gotten older, I often find the
latter group more infuriating. Somehow, as much as I don't want to, I
can understand why a Muslim raised in a world permeated with
hate-filled lies about America and Israel, and taught from childhood
that God loves death, will blow himself up and joyfully maim and
murder children. As evil as the Muslim terrorist is, given the Islamic
world in which he was raised, he has some excuse.
But the non-Muslims who fail to acknowledge and confront the evil of
Muslim terror and the evil of those monsters who cut innocent people's
throats and murder those trying to make a democracy – these people are
truly worth nothing. Unlike the Muslims raised in a religious
totalitarian society, they have no excuse. And in my lifetime, these
people have overwhelmingly congregated on the political Left.
Since the 1960s, with few exceptions, on the greatest questions of
good and evil, the Left has either been neutral toward or actively
supported evil. The Left could not identify communism as evil; has
been neutral toward or actually supported the anti-democratic
pro-terrorist Palestinians against the liberal democracy called
Israel; and has found it impossible to support the war for democracy
and against an Arab-Muslim enemy in Iraq as evil as any fascist the
Left ever claimed to hate.
There were intellectually and morally honest arguments against going
to war in Iraq. But once the war began, a moral person could not
oppose it. No moral person could hope for, let alone act on behalf of,
a victory for the Arab-Islamic fascists. Just ask yourself but two
questions: If America wins, will there be an increase or decrease in
goodness in Iraq and in the world? And then ask what would happen if
the al-Qaida/Zarqawi/Baathists win.
It brings me no pleasure to describe opponents of the Iraqi war as
"worth nothing." I know otherwise fine, decent people who oppose the
war. So I sincerely apologize for the insult.
But to the Left in general, as opposed to individually good people who
side with the Left, I have no apologies. It is the Left – in America,
in Europe and around the world – that should do all the apologizing:
to the men, women and children of Iraq and elsewhere for not coming to
their support against those who would crush them.
That most Democratic Party leaders, union leaders, gay leaders,
feminists, professors, editorial writers and news reporters have
called for an American withdrawal and labeled this most moral of wars
"immoral" is a permanent stain on their reputations.
About 60 percent of the Iraqi people went to vote despite the fact
that every Iraqi voter risked his or her life and the lives of their
children, whose throats the Islamic fascists threatened to slit. Yet,
the Left continues to label the war for Iraqi democracy "immoral"
while praising the tyrant of Cuba.
Leftists do so for the same reason they admired Ho Chi Minh and Mao
Tse-tung and condemned American arms as the greatest threat to world
peace during and after the Cold War. The Left "does not know the
difference between good and evil." And that is why it is worth
nothing.

Actually I was wrong. It's not a circle, it's a spectrum.
But people on the the fringe of either side look pretty
much the same - they're nut jobs.

BTW, you are right - the world ends on Friday.
But, should Saturday and Sunday slide
by without and end top the world - then
I'll buy around for everybody in the bar
and we'll salute you for being you.
Scarniffalus the dancing borg used
14 cars to get from St. Louis to LA.
Of course the cars were all junkers.
