“Cringe-Inducing: MSNBC Host Uses Young Daughter to Push Gay Marriage”

Charming.
Unfortunately, human nature is built around many horrible concepts that are not likely to ever change. Included in those concepts, and maybe at the very heart of them, is hypocrisy. Because, no matter what your beliefs, ideals, morals, etc, you are always going to do something that clashes with someone else. It is unavoidable.
ReplyDeleteIt is also unavoidable that in defending your beliefs and ideals, you are going to have to point out what you believe to be wrong with the person's thoughts that you are defending against. Both sides of every debate, at one point or another, are hypocrites. It's an endless cycle of human nature that we will never escape.
I'm a gay with guns. After what is happening in France, you can be damn sure I'm not going to leave my house unless I'm packing!
ReplyDeleteJack, you make a great point.
ReplyDeleteWe’re all hypocrites in one way or another. Every decision we make (and the consequences of it) often conflict with other convicted stands we’ve made. So I think the issue is with how we resolve and admit to that hypocrisy.
I’m doing a hit-piece on an anti gay/exgay activist hypocrite, but it’s clear to me that I’m justifying “lies” of omission in the process. Not in the name of malice, but for the sake of brevity to inform.
I never cast it off as something that’s “ok,” it’s a constant battle. I think the difference is that I’m willing to stand by and explain my hypocrisy, if and/or when need be.
I haven’t found a better way yet, but I do know that it’s COMPLETELY different from being hypocritical for the sake of using it as a malicious means to an end.
It’s like being against killing someone. I see the death penalty as act of vengeance, not justice. However, killing someone to protect others is not born of malice, it’s born of love.
So, in a nutshell, it comes down to motive.
