Liberalism and ethics
Mary Anne — (archived)

there is nothing ethical about being a victim or worshipping victimhood. And there is it nothing ethical about allowing murderers the chance to keep murdering people. And there is nothing ethical about being a coward and blaming others for doing something rather than doing little about a problem- such as kicking a problem down the road [hoping it goes away or someone else will have to deal with it].

There is nothing unethical about actually being a victim. Being a victim is not an ethical state, but a result of someone else's negative or criminal actions. Ask anyone who has survived a crime or other attack. Seeking to redress wrongs done to victims is not "worshipping victimhood"; it's a little something called the pursuit of justice.

There is nothing in liberalism that reveres murder. There is, however, the understanding that rule of law requires rules, and for rules to mean anything they must be followed or changed, not merely broken when they are inconvenient.

Kicking something down the road for someone else to deal with... hmmm... like energy policy? Please talk to the noted liberal, Mr. Cheney, about that. There's enough kicking going on all over.

Also, do quit calling liberals "cowards". Talking big is not a sign of courage, just of lung capacity.
