Prickly City by Scott Stantis for December 10, 2017

Having one wing means that you only fly in circles….

And I only allow people who look, act and think exactly like me in my corner. Yep. That about sums it up.

If this is a political corner, Stantis is so off base, it’s disturbing. There is a corner for lying, cheating and intentional unethical behavior. That corner has run off the rails, to mix a metaphor. The other corner makes mistakes, is human, but has an essential ethical approach that strives for honesty and integrity.

I have no interest in condoning the liars and cheats by saying they are the same as those who try to have integrity and honor. To do otherwise is not only foolish and amoral, it’s also destroying the aspirational values that gave rise to our beautiful country.

And once I’ve settled that MY corner is “supreme”, I fail to recognize that I am cornered.

Stantis crafts yet another claim that ‘they both do it’ and so both are equally wrong.

So ‘I did not have sex with that woman’ is exactly the same as ‘There was no collusion with Russia. It’s all fake news.’ And ‘It wasn’t my voice on the tape.’

Everyone knows prominent examples.
