Some folks are either terribly naive, enjoy exceptionally sheltered (maybe exceptionally privileged) lives, or are incredibly foolish. Washington Post opinion writer E. J. Dionne is one of these folks.
In a recent piece he opines, "It’s never right to call other human beings “animals.” This, of course, refers to comments made by the President in referring to the notorious gang MS-13. Dionne weakly attempts to acknowledge some folks might not be suitable for taking home to mom. " No matter how debased the behavior of a given individual or group, no matter how much legitimate anger that genuinely evil actions might inspire, dehumanizing others always leads us down a dangerous path."
How can one write "dehumanizing others" who wantonly kill as something dangerous? There are people in this world who are so evil, so depraved that the violence they visit on the innocent rightfully deserves and earns the animal descriptor. History is full of examples, large and small.
Dionne and other of his ilk pontificate that all are inherently good. They are the ones who appease. They - for example, Obama - self-righteously, sanctimoniously, and arrogantly tell us that if they can just speak with the truly evil, they have the ability to change them. Nonsense.
Dionne, Obama, Pelosi, and countless others are very fortunate to live in this great country, sheltered from the violence mankind visits on itself. This liberals, in their smugness, have thankfully not personally seen or experienced such violence against themselves or their loved ones. Had they, it is a certainty they would not be politicizing this latest matter.
As an aside, these are the same liberals who all too liberally throw out descriptors such as evil when referencing those with whom they disagree.
Any thug or group of thugs responsible for wanton violence has earned being called animals.
