The "Democrats’" Moral Math

By Bryan Crabtree
September 1, 2016


The reason many Democrats and Hillary Clinton supporters can tolerate her lies, cheating and illicit behavior (private email servers) is because of their affinity for moral math.

I believe that Democrats like Clinton believe (in their own mind of course) that many of the things they are doing for other people is morally superior such that it overpowers all their wrongdoing. As a result of their self aggrandizement, they believe they have a positive moral bank account.

For instance, in the case of the Clinton Foundation, we are frequently reminded of all the drugs they provide to cure disease around the world. They suggest that without their work people will die. In most cases, these statements are made in response to questions regarding what Clinton will do with her involvement in the Clinton Foundation should she become president.

In response to concerns about her family’s involvement (should she be elected) with the Foundation, campaign staffer Kristina Schake reminded CNN’s John Berman about “the life saving work that the foundation has done all over the world…And, Hillary is so incredibly proud of that….It’s really important the foundation’s work continues…It’s going to take a little time to do that.”

The foregoing is short for, “were going to wait until you forget about it and do nothing.”

Half-truths are one of the most dangerous verbal weapons in our society. They are used deliberately in order to deceive you. Thirty-two percent of the Clinton foundation's expenses was used on travel, salaries and conferences. Let's assume the rest went to these magnificent causes. Who could have a greater influence over poverty, business and disease in the world? Would it be a single charitable organization or the president of the United States?

The Clintons should choose one. Clearly, based upon her record, Hillary can't handle both without cheating.

Shacke clearly deflected from Berman’s question. The intent of the question was to give the American people assurances that Hillary would be honorable and not use the Clinton foundation as a ‘pay-for-play’ access to the White House if she is elected president. These answers reveal leftist moral math. They infer that the ‘great work’ of the Clinton Foundation supersedes and overcomes the deviant behavior of its founders.

Many people charge that Republicans are equally as guilty for illicit behavior, sex scandals and lies. I suppose that is true. However, Republicans are never allowed the advantage to deflect from the offense and point to their accomplishments using ‘moral math.’

So, why do Clinton and many Democrats get to use moral math and get away with it? It's simple. All people are flawed and make incredible mistakes. Very few people believe that it's okay to calculate how many good works you must commit in order to escape consequences for your destructive and illicit behavior.

This is why Democrats support so many entitlement programs, handouts, free college, subsidized healthcare and so-called ‘planet-saving’ green energy initiatives. The Left believes these causes far outweigh the damage their pursuit of power and profit causes — especially Hillary Clinton. In other words, the end justifies the means.

When Donald Trump called Clinton a bigot and racist, this is exactly what he meant: She may not articulate that she feels superior to minorities, but she certainly acts and believes she is their savior. Her air of smug superiority exposes an individual who believes other races/people will be incapable of caring for themselves without people like her.

My faith teaches me that all of us have a negative moral-math bank-account. We’re all sinners and are inclined to make honest mistakes. However, most of us are not arrogant (or deviant) enough to believe that we can knowingly deceive others, cheat and break the law and have enough compensating moral goodwill to render our negatives into a net-positive.

You don't need a term like "Moral Math". It's intentions over results. It's feelings over consequences. It's "two out three ain't bad" ( in Hillary's case she goes with one out of ten!!). Morally superior Progressive Socialist Liberal Elites always rely on taxpayer funds to do their 'good works", not their own. Or in the case of the Clinton Foundation, donor's money. The Clintons do donate to the foundation but most of the money goes for travel and other expenses that they benefit from personally. They put their money into the foundation where they can finance their lavish lifestyle while not having to pay taxes that they say they want the rich to pay. Liberals judge others on the basis of the compatibility of their views with Progressive Liberalism, not on how they behave. So a sociopath who professes all the Progressive Socialist Left causes gets a free pass.

 

Our founding fathers thought it was better for a criminal to run for office than for royalty to rule.

 

Nah, I don't think Killary is doing anything for anyone else. She, just like most democrats, want more power and keep the power at all costs. They will lie, cheat, steel and kill to get what they want. They aren't about doing whats best for the country, just whats best for them. They bribe their voter base then fear monger the other side to stay in power. To be in government for life and profit so much the way democrats are, you have to create the state of perpetual servitude. Go down the list of those in the democrat party, you will see professional politicians, never stepping into the private sector. Look at the GOP, and you will see people who made a ton of money in the private sector before becoming a politician. To be in the private sector and be successful, you have to do what is best for your consumers. If the iPhone came out and was complete garbage and had corners cut and half measures put into it, people wouldn't have bought it. If you are in government, you don't have to really do anything for the people, cause no matter what, that is all the people can have. Look at the school systems in democrat cities, especially in the urban minority areas. They fail to teach the kids how to learn, and barely have any actually graduate. The people complain all the time about the schools, try everything they can to get their kids to better schools, charter schools, private schools, but usually the kids are stuck in the pathetic public schools where there is no real choice, but the politicians are still getting richer and richer by their salary and by unions and cronies for whom they do their bidding for.

 

I'm not great at math...but I can recognize an elephant when I see one.

This essay of yours is not about math, W...it's just your way of doing the name calling you guys get such a kick out of doing.

Not the smartest thing for you guys to be doing.

You keep running her down...making it seem she is the lowest of the low.

So...if your guy beats her, people will say, "No big deal, He beat an obvious loser."

But if she beats our guy (as I expect her to do)...people will say that you guy got his clock cleaned by a loser!

Fun to watch though...so don't let me discourage you.

 

WOW! I have never felt very positive about Hillary, but I never realized how totally evil she is. And, I am glad that I am not a registered Democrat and bad by association.

Of course, I don't think that we will ever have a Saint Donald, either. I guess we will be voting for the lesser of two evils and hoping for better candidates next time. Hopefully, next election the world will not be using us for comedy material.

 

As Obama famously pointed out, "Elections have consequences," and early in his 1st term kept reminding us he was the president almost as if he couldn't believe it himself.

Well, I agree but that also includes electing a criminal to office like Hillary Clinton. After Clinton's lack of ethics is fully transparent to the world, the consequences will be a poor performing economy and a dollar that the world has little confidence in owning for transactions. If you don't believe me then look at what happened after the Watergate scandal. Initially, the value of the dollar dropped like a rock causing inflation as well. Economists called it "stagflation" and was unprecedented. The U.S. suffered a vacillating deep recession until 1982 when Reagan and his economic team gave the people renewed confidence in our country and ethics.

How bad do you think it will get when dems and Clinton are dragged into prison kicking and screaming for the whole world to watch in horror? Or worse yet, Clinton gets off with a slap on the wrist. Yep, elections have consequences but some people can't see past the nose on their face. It will be the fault of the democrat party, Clinton, and all of her supporters knowing she shouldn't have run for office in the first place. Clinton couldn't even pass a security exam as an ordinary gov. employee much less handle secrets from other countries around the world. Those are just a few of the consequences I can think of for our future.

Democrats and moral in the same sentence just is not normal. Democrats have no morals that I have seen.

Certainly Grifter Scum Hillary, The Press and Hollywood have their own special "moral" code;
