Take your choice.  Is it rank hypocrisy?  Blind political avarice?  Lack of intellectual capability?  Uncontrolled emotion?  Absence of integrity?  Greed?  Hysteria?  Rabid partisanship?  Ethical void?  Amorality?  Simple ignorance?  Rampant initiative unfettered by a scintilla of judgment?

On all sides of the political, media, social, educational, labor, cultural, ethnic, and paradigms the loudest members appear predisposed to offer immediate judgment, criticism, commentary about anything, anywhere, by anybody on the "other" side.

In doing so, what was acceptable a day, week, month, year, or decade ago for "their" side must now be condemned.  Likewise, what was deplorable a day, week, month, year, or decade ago for the "other" side can now be fully embraced by their side.

If so-and-so's grandfather uttered something decades ago, so he/she from the "other" side must be tarred by that sentiment.  Yet, if so-and-so from "their" side has a relative who expressed the wrong view, no responsibility should be visited upon the current day individual.  Can't be both ways folks.  One standard that cuts both ways is needed.

Particularly troublesome is when an individual clearly and unequivocally states one view or position, then changes to the exact opposite with the flowing winds of perceived public views.  "I've evolved," the miscreant exclaims when called out.  Yet if an individual from the "other" side acts identically, out come the brash, intense, no holds barred criticism.  Can't be both ways folks.  One standard that cuts both ways is needed.

Amazingly, as the political, media, social, educational, labor, cultural, and ethnic personalities act rashly, they simultaneously demand to be accepted as genuine in the moment.  Heaven forbid, however, if someone from the "other" side exhort the same from the public.

Is it rank hypocrisy?  Blind political avarice?  Lack of intellectual capability?  Uncontrolled emotion?  Absence of integrity?  Greed?  Hysteria?  Rabid partisanship?  Ethical void?  Amorality?  Simple ignorance?  Rampant initiative unfettered by a scintilla of judgment?
