When that aberration exists, wouldn't be incumbent on the adherents that are not involved in the aberrations to stand up and loudly proclaim that such is not correct and shouldn't be tolerated. If that is the case, then shouldn't the list of leaders in the Muslim communities decrying the terrible behaving be even longer than the list of breaches to civilized behavior? Why? Is it incumbent on all Christians to get up and decry the actions of those few Christians that go off on a murdering spree? I was brought up as a Christian - am I supposed to proclaim to the world that I don't support Antibalaka, The Lord's Resistance Army, the National Liberation Front of Tripura, or the KKK? I feel no kinship with these people; no sense of group identity whatsoever. What have they, and what they think and do, got to do with me? In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist; And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist; And then they came for the Jews, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew; And then . . . they came for me . . . But only in Germany, right? So, how is it different now, in the US? "First they came for the landscapers, but I wasn't a landscaper so I didn't speak up, then they came for the brick layers, but I didn't speak up because I wasn't a brick layer." "Then they came for the home owners and retirees, but I didn't speak up because ... " "Oh, SHIT!" No worries, though. Some guy just got elected who's going to double down on all of that, but the point apparently being that he is 'inspiring!' Ed, let me gently try to explain something to you. Jees, this is difficult. You know back when you were in school and you got off the short bus? Remember how you'd walk up to the group of other kids that didn't ride the short bus and tell them something that was very important to you? Remember how they'd laugh and you were so pleased everyone was laughing with you? Well, they weren't, they were laughing at you. Your attempts at sounding like one of the lefty guy here is much the same. It's pretty cringe worthy. Just something for you to consider.
