Free Molly Norris!

Here is the scary thing about this column: No more than one in 50 readers knows who Molly Norris is. A month ago, I did not know, so I am hardly in a position to talk.  What got me interested was author Larry Kelley’s appeal to launch a “Molly Norris Project.” In his brave book, “Lessons from Fallen Civilizations: Can a Bankrupt America Survive the Current Islamic Threat,” Kelley asks why a White House that labors to protect alleged victims of the fictional “Republican War on Women” does nothing to protect real victims of the Islamic war on women…….. Norris conceived the nicely mischievous new holiday, “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day.”…. Comedy Central cooperated with terrorists and pulled the episode), the First Amendment.”…. Just as quickly our Islamic friends went postal. Norris came under increasing pressure and understandably backed off.……. Not satisfied with Norris’ retreat, Islamic cleric Anwar al-Awlaki put a fatwah on Norris’ head not unlike the one under which Salman Rushdie still labors…… I suspect that Norris anticipated a “Spartacus” moment, when her friends on the left would all stand up with their Muhammad cartoons and say, “I am Molly Norris…… Usually astute, Hitchens was shocked to find the “postmodern left in league with political Islam.” Most of his political allies refused to shelter Rushdie, and some even scolded Rushdie for disturbing the status quo.  To Read More............

My Take – Some time back I wrote an article entitled, The XYZ Factor of Organizations, where I describe the differences between leftists and conservatives, a difference that should be obvious to the most casual observer.  This account about Molly Norris is just one more confirmation of just how contemptuously the left views strong foundational moral values, including loyalty.....perhaps especially loyalty.   

In reality their morality is the morality of the moment, the morality of convenience, the morality of self promotion.  In reality the only morality that is consistently displayed by the left is….. amoral morality….i.e., nothing is right nothing is wrong, as long as it will garner them power, influence and money.   

That wouldn’t be such a big deal, except they proclaim to the world that they are the philosophy of values.  Unfortunately those values have, between leftists governments and organizations like the green movement, have been responsible for the unnecessary deaths of over 200 million people in the 20^th and 21^st century.
