Have you ever met someone who expressed an undying love for humanity but didn’t get along with his neighbors? Or someone who makes his strong support for blacks known but who hasn’t talked to a black person in years? Or someone grieved over the plight of undocumented residents but whose only interaction with an actual immigrant is underpaying his gardener or maid?
These are all examples of pretend virtue found among those on the political left in this country. They hold the “correct” and “proper” policy positions about an issue, whether welfare, race, or immigration, but don’t care one bit about the actual people their policies are supposed to help but, as they work themselves out across the country, are more likely to hurt or even crush. Of course, while liberals are happy to trumpet their virtue, they are also vigilant in hiding their pretending.
Until Wednesday, when Linda Hirshman wrote an oped in the NYT titled, “I Believe Tara Reade. I’m Voting for Joe Biden Anyway.” In this article, she makes two points. First, that Tara Reade was assaulted by Joe Biden; second, that we should sacrifice her (and others like her) on the altar of the Women’s Movement.
A (liberal) woman’s virtue is supporting public policy positions favored by (liberal) women, it’s not in standing with, and fighting for, the actual women abused at the hands of your political allies. Virtue shines when you care for the policy, not for the person..........To Read More....
My Take - This level of leftist hypocrisy shouldn't surprise us at all. Why? Because the left has no solid moral foundation. They will happily abandon any position they've ardently supported in the past if it no longer meets today's popular narrative. There's only one moral foundation the left embraces with unending passion and will always cling to.
Do whatever it takes to get and hold power, and the suffering that may be accrued while doing so is meaningless to them. No group has murdered more people in the twentieth century than did lefetist monsters. Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and the left's favorite mass murderer - Fidel Castro.
