It never ceases to amaze me that just when you think liberal thinking couldnt possibly get any more insane, they somehow manage to out do themselves. Apparently we are just as bad as syria, because while they use chemical weapons to gas their own citizens, we spray our crops with pesticide, in order to produce a higher yield, and feed our people. Apparently we dont need greater yields to support a growing population, and people who are starving can live on pixie dust. âWe Are No Betterâ: Media Company CEO and Obama Supporter, Equates Syrian Nerve Gas With Pesticides by Noah Rothman | 5:36 pm, September 4th, 2013 Sometimes in our lives, we stumble upon moments that make us question our choices. If Iâd have taken a left turn instead of a right, where would I be today? The pain of those moments is most acutely felt when, for example, one comes across an op-ed â submitted, presumably, freely and without threat of force or coercion â by a wealthy and successful publisher who equates the methodical gassing of children in Syria with feeding non-organic fruit to kids. It is then that we can all be forgiven for asking ourselves, âwhere did I go wrong?â Maria Rodale, CEO and chairman of publishing house Rodale, Inc., manages a variety of periodicals that are household names, including Menâs Health, Womenâs Health, and Prevention. She is also an outspoken supporter of President Barack Obama, as she freely admitted in the open letter to the president published in The Huffington Post on Wednesday. But Rodale is concerned by Obamaâs push for military action in Syria in response to that regimeâs systematic and escalating use of chemical weapons on civilian populations. Rodale is concerned, not because children are being gassed en mass, but because the United States would view the precedent-setting use of chemical weapons to be a casus belli. No, says the author of Organic Manifesto: How Organic Food Can Heal Our Planet, Feed the World, and Keep Us Safe. In fact, the taboo on chemical weapons is being violated every day on an unimaginable scale because children around the world are being poisoned by non-organic produce. Seriously. âI do not consider myself a Christian,â Rodale writes, âbut I would like to quote Jesus and ask, âWho among you has not sinned?ââ âYes, Syria has undoubtedly used chemical weapons on its own people. Maybe it was the government; maybe it was the opposition; maybe you know for sure,â she continues. âBut hereâs what I know for sure: We are no better.â We have been using chemical weapons on our own children â and ourselves â for decades, the chemical weapons we use in agriculture to win the war on pests, weeds, and the false need for ever greater yields. Sure, some might call her a raving lunatic who may be ill-advisedly experimenting with a reduction in her daily medication. Others would call Rodale a beacon of sanity in an insane world. Then there are those who wonder what kind of a God would allow the cosmic injustice of this personâs fortune and success to continue, given the fact that she not only holds asinine opinions like these but thinks advertising them is a clever move. Count me in the latter group.
Then please, just STFU. In fact it's loons like you helping to continuously set the low bar for liberal insanity.
