. . . crying wolf leads in the end to moral callousness, as people assume that there’s no point in behaving morally when they’re going to be called monsters anyway.Quote provided by Jonathan Schwarz at This Modern World.
We live in violent days and they are only going to get more violent with thoughts like that going around. Combine that with the Conservatives self-pitying worldview that teaches that they are constantly under rhetorical attack by all powerful liberals and their allies in the media, and you have a recipe for violence.
I think it is hilarious that my conservative friends believe that Conservative columnists can stir up hatred and glorify violence pretty much harmlessly.
It's mostly my neck talking, but I'm ready for it to boil over. This waiting around for the other shoe to drop is a pain in the neck. And I don't need two just now.
