It's The Culture...



The Left Is Reaping the Whirlwind Off The Culture They Made

Andrew Klaven writes, "The left wants to defend gangstas and "transgressive" art and antifa thugs — but when the shooting starts, they blame the guns."

The hue and cry over gun control is just a part of the problem.

"Over the last fifty years, it's the left that has assaulted every moral norm and disdained every religious and cultural restraint."

Spot on article, Mr. Klaven. Short and to the point.

Klaven nailed it.

The culture that the left made is not something that it wants to take credit for because there are always unintended consequences.

Yet they will not take the credit. They will twist it around to be Trumps fault. I see that almost every single day. What the left wants is total control and power over every single person, while they are the anointed.

Have a fabulous day. ♥

Hollywood glorifies guns and are the first to scream "control." So predictable.

LL: Yes, Klaven usually does nail it. Looking at education alone, I can think of a few examples where a liberal edict imposed upon the children goes wrong, yet the left accepts zero blame for the unintended consequences, e.g.,: the new math of years ago, multiculturalism, common core.

It's always the same pattern of bringing about changes that rub against the societal grain only to blame conservatives for the awful aftermath. It's time to end this pattern.

Sandee: My mom used to say they were the kind that threw the rock then hid their hand. The libs never take credit for the problems caused by their ill-conceived programs.

Jan: There's a reference in the article to the Catholic apologist G.K. Chesterton, who wrote about the difference between reforming society and deforming it. The left has deformed our culture and not only do they not want to accept responsibility for the bad outcomes, but they want to double down on stupid and call for more.

When someone tells me, the person is not to blame, it's the culture that caused her/him to be that way, i have to ask, and who created the culture? They don't want to answer that because the fact is, people are not just products of the culture, but create it first.

Messymimi: The left is the one that supports legitimizing disrespect for the flag and for Christianity and they blame both as being white supremacist ideals. It's wrong and it's a toxic way to think, but some people believe it and their attitudes reflect it. The examples go on and on and there's no end in sight. Like I told Kid earlier, I fear for the endgame in this mess.

Spot on. Finding sanity amongst the drivel seems to be getting harder and harder. The leftists, democrats, socialists, progressives (whatever they call themselves) just break all the nice things.

cube said...

DaBlade: Yes, you can't take the leftists, democrats, socialists, progressives anywhere.

Cube,
The left has deformed our culture

Exactly.

Moral compasses are skewed beyond belief!
