The liberal media blamed prolife organizations for the assassination of George Tiller. This accusation takes various forms. Even though mainstream prolife organizations preach nonviolence, their “incendiary” rhetoric is said to incite acts of violence against abortion “providers.”
Likewise, we’re told the prolife position, if taken to its logical extreme, leads to violence against abortion “providers.”
I’ve already addressed the “logical” argument. Now I’d like to approach the argument from a different angle.
There’s a parallel phenomenon on the left. That involves ecoterrorism, viz. Earth First, Earth Liberation Front, Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Army, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, &c. These groups use incendiary rhetoric. Moreover, they resort to forms of ecotage like arson, car bombing, and tree spiking. They consider this to be a logical extension of the conservation ethic.
However, their guerilla tactics are denounced by mainstream environmental organizations like Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, and the Audubon Society.
If the liberal media were consistent, it would draw the same linkage between ecoterrorism and the environmental movement which it hypes in relation to “Christian terrorism” and the prolife movement.
We could also draw a parallel with the anti-globalization movement.
Hey you jerk. Sea Shepherd is not an eco terrorist group. They have NEVER hurt anyone or any animal. They are a vegan ship. ARE YOU VEGAN? IF NOT, SHUT THE HELL UP.
ReplyDeleteJapanese whalers are ECO TERRORISTS, THEY ARE ARE TERRORIZING AND BUTCHERING WHALES IN A SANCTUARY IN VIOLATION OF A COURT ORDER THAT PROHIBITS THEIR PRESENCE MUCH LESS THE CRUEL AND BARBARIC KILLING OF PREGNANT WHALES AND THEIR FETUSES, AND IN VIOLATION OF THE UN CHARTER FOR NATURE.

Hey you jerk. Contrary to your groundless denials, there’s plenty of evidence that Sea Shepherd is an ecoterrorist organization. For example:

I’m a Christian blogger. ARE YOU CHRISTIAN? IF NOT, SHUT THE HELL UP.
“Japanese whalers are ECO TERRORISTS, THEY ARE ARE TERRORIZING AND BUTCHERING WHALES IN A SANCTUARY IN VIOLATION OF A COURT ORDER THAT PROHIBITS THEIR PRESENCE MUCH LESS THE CRUEL AND BARBARIC KILLING OF PREGNANT WHALES AND THEIR FETUSES, AND IN VIOLATION OF THE UN CHARTER FOR NATURE.”
Japanese whalers are not the only whalers. And whalers are fishermen. It’s a natural foodstuff. Fish eat other fish. Orcas consume whales. Sharks consume seals. And so on and so forth.
Humans are apex predators. It’s only natural for us to consume other species lower down the food chain.
The UN is a thoroughly corrupt organization. Remember the food-for-oil scandal (among other things)? The UN is not a moral authority on anything.
And no court has international jurisdiction. The fact that a court may unilaterally assign itself international jurisdiction doesn’t make it so.
If you want to debate the dangers of hunting whales to extinction, fine. But if you’re trying to impose a vegan outlook on the rest of us, go fly a kite.
