Moral Certitude is the confident agreement to or approval of something after consideration. In this case, the matter considered is human conduct. We make such assessments based on people’s normal and predictable responses. Those responses include certain needs, abilities, and motivations.

Americans don’t seem to talk about it, perhaps because the subject has such an emotional charge. But most of us find the committing of atrocities in our midst appalling.
Is it any wonder we have drifted into such dangerous territory? We no longer have the willingness or ability to articulate what is right and what is wrong with clarity and certainty. How do we expect to stop what we are unwilling to even talk about?
The result has become daily we tolerate the looting, arson, and even murder. We tolerate the perverse “moralizing” we’re being fed from the Left. Yes, Left now does mean Democrat. Get over it. It is what you have made it.
At this point it is inarguable; right and wrong have been reversed. Those who commit vile actions are being lauded. At the same time opposition to them faces castigation and condemnation.
Truth has no agenda… Facts are, what facts are
Our situation continues to deteriorate. It is reaching personally dangerous levels. If something decisive isn’t done to turn back the tide we will soon pass a point of “No Return.” This is the malignant intention of the left.
They have been pulling the nation in this direction for decades. Consider these examples of what they are and what they would have us become.
Consider this of the leftist insanity. How much lawlessness have we seen in the past several months? Leftist Democrat politicians are sidestepping lawlessness entirely. The protests are peaceful… Yeh, sure…B.S. This includes actual murders. Yet the media are reporting what?
The politicians drip with sanctimony as they refer back to a minor clash in Charlottesville Virginia. That’s something from three years ago. It is something they deliberately mischaracterize.
It was not an “unprovoked attack” by “white supremacists. But the narrative is mouthed by the politicians. Then it is affirmed by their media minions. Then together they amplify and cross-reference each other as support of their assertions. Pelosi calls it the wrap up smear. It is a tactic of the left to trick and deceive.
Is there any Moral Certitude in America? There should be. If there’s not, then, why not? There really are things that are right and things that are wrong. We all have to agree to the statement. And we have to agree to which things fall on which sides of the line or we just cannot live together. Which side are you on?
