Marsha K. Weinstein, Ph.D., who currently holds the distinguished Rudoplh K. Heitzmen Chair of Investigative Ethics at Cornell University, presented a paper at a recent symposium of the International Ethics and Morality Society.
“Democrats present a rather intriguing ethical conundrum which those of us in the interdisciplinary field that blends psychology, philosophy, and theology find quite fascinating and challenging to unravel.
Colloquially speaking, their constituents are generally uninformed, highly biased, easily manipulated to believe anything, do anything that advances a political agenda that would have been unthinkable by people of ordinary sensibiities even five years before.”
“Some behavioral activities, such as chopping a fetus into pieces or burning it alive with highly reactive salts while still in the womb, are promoted as having extremely positive social impact, including the peace of mind of those who could easily have prevented the conception in the first place with cheap, effective, and easily available contraceptives.”
And MS-13 gangs that rove through towns selling crack and raping young girls are viewed as ‘sparks of divinity’ by Democratic Party leaders. And they even seek to eliminate federal law enforcement agencies that might work to mitigate the effect of crime to families they claim to represent.”
Further data show that undocumented immigrants can stab to death college students with impunity, and inner city drug lords can kill a hundred people a weekend in brutal machine gun massacres, Democrats find no problem with that and seek instead to advance the interests of drug lords and take away their natural right to self defense.
Yet they are in lock-step agreement that decades old, unsubstantiated assertions that result in character assassination and the elimination of long-held principles of justice such as ‘innocent till proven guilty,’ , can be vigorously applied so long as presented by an orchestrated media blitz with obvious manipulative overtones. This can result in socially-acceptable, highly motivating behavior such as swarm attacks, hysteria, and mass psychosis of levels we have not recorded in recent times.
Their behavior engenders many questions that must be investigated if we, as a society will continue to function at a level beyond that of simple, reactionary organisms such as chickens in a pen.
Is it because they would have to admit that the policies that they advocate have not only failed to work but exacerbate social problems?
Could it be that they somehow benefit from sowing the seeds of discord and cultural destruction?
How do those who see themselves as the epitome of moral values, of open-mindedness, of inclusiveness nonetheless succumb to a contradictory set of moral principles? In short, go bat shit crazy?
Briefly put, “How do those claim to be Democratic Party members, socialists, progressives, and the like maintain any moral sense—which many evolutionary psychologists would argue separates the human species from simple animals—in the face of severe Affective Cognitive Dissonance Disorder?”
