Dear Editor,<\/p>\n
I was grateful for the rebuke from Bob Robinson of \u201cthe Left\u201d – he did not so name them- (see \u201cModern day My Lai a Hypocrisy,\u201d WNJ<\/em>, 19 May).\u00a0 There are those who hypocritically find atrocities in anything our soldiers did in Viet Nam while overlooking the super-holocaust deeds of Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot of the last century. So, now, the Left magnifies any misdeeds of our solders while it looks through the wrong end of a telescope when viewing the regular barbarism of Muslims in Bosnia, Hussein in Iraq, the kidnapping and killing of Wall Street Journalist Daniel Pearl, the mutilating and hanging for four Americans non-combatants on 31 March, and the beheading of an American non-combatant by Iraqis a fortnight ago.<\/p>\n There is an additional piece of hypocrisy that ought to be pointed out.\u00a0 Why the outrage over the perverse treatment of the prisoners?\u00a0 Were they mutilated?\u00a0 Were parts of their bodies excised (as are the breasts, for instance, of Sudanese Christian women, at the hands of Muslim terrorists)?<\/p>\n No. Their dignity was insulted.<\/p>\n But here is the more subtle and never-spoken hypocrisy.\u00a0 The Left never finds a word to speak against any form of perversion <\/em>(need some definition of the word?).\u00a0 Leftists will not call sodomy, incest, bestiality or necrophilia a perversion because they have no standard for what is right and wrong.\u00a0 They have no Law originating from anywhere but themselves; there is no divine Lawgiver.<\/p>\n They make offending one\u2019s \u201cdignity\u201d to be the crime of the moment.\u00a0 But what is it?\u00a0 Physically harmless \u201csexual intimations and innuendo.\u201d<\/p>\n Indeed, and by Christian standards, where sexuality is sacred, such actions would be attacks upon a prisoner\u2019s dignity (albeit rising not so high as the atrocity of slaughtering, mutilating and hanging innocents).\u00a0 But not by the standards of Leftists.\u00a0 They have no regard for human sexuality any more than for that of dogs and cats.\u00a0 There is no God and no Imago Dei<\/em> in man.<\/p>\n So why all the fuss?\u00a0 How do they get their knickers in a knot over this so-called scandal?<\/p>\n It makes for a convenient political tool to oppose a war they don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 19 May, 2004 Dear Editor, I was grateful for the rebuke from Bob Robinson of \u201cthe Left\u201d – he did not so name them- (see \u201cModern day My Lai a Hypocrisy,\u201d WNJ, 19 May).\u00a0 There are those who hypocritically find atrocities in anything our soldiers did in Viet Nam while overlooking the super-holocaust deeds of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wilmington-ohio-news-journal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1108"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1121,"href":"https:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1108\/revisions\/1121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelbray.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
