KMBR just did a post on empathy and how mr. o thinks he can use it to his advantage. Here is "empathy" defined. It is not exactly a bed of roses.
Wikipedia defines empathy this way:Empathy is the capability to share your feelings and understand another's emotion and feelings. It is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes," or in some way experience what the other person is feeling. Empathy does not necessarily imply compassion, sympathy, or empathic concern because this capacity can be present in context of compassionate or cruel behavior.
Empathy is actually a communist code word for action. It used to hide Anti-capitalist, anti-American , and anti-Christian actions. Roe V. Wade was a supreme court decision that demonstrated empathy for women that were undesirably pregnant for instance. What about empathy for the Unborn, not to mention the fact that it takes action by 2 people to make the unborn children being aborted (murdered). Glen Beck pointed out on his T.V. show yesterday that Adolph Hitler figured out how to enact the "final solution" that caused 6 million deaths by an act of empathy in which a severely handicapped child was "put down." This was sold as an "act of mercy" to the German people. When there was no outcry, others were mercifully "put down."
The bottom line is: Empathy cannot be acted on in masse without discriminating on others. You can feel sorry for those who's circumstances are worse than yours but when special rights are given to such people, others have to pay for those rights. Take illegal immigrants for instance. How can illegals be moved up as a group without pushing American Citizens down? It is one thing for individuals to help others out of empathy but when government steps in and extends rights to such groups, others must move out of the way. Just ask the Jews and Gypsies that survived the NAZI holocaust and ask those who are trying to survive the environmental holocaust being put on people here in America. Ask the children that were never born about their parents actions...oh I almost forgot that they never had the chance to be born. I have stated before that I believe we are quietly following the path of the Weimar Republic/Nazi Germany pre World War II and this is another example that reinforces this view.
