Moral Clarity?

I have noticed that some freepers praise the chimp for his "moral clarity". Fine, but if your morals are perverse it is hardly praiseworthy to be clear about them. Bin Laden sure as hell has "moral clarity", but I don't think he deserves support for it.

Maybe this is just a phrase to help the freepers deal with the fact that the chimp is such a dumbass. He may be an idiot, but at least he is morally clear about it.

2. It is a wierd value; it's like Courage of one's Convictions

Well if one has good convictions than it's probably a good thing for one to have the courage of one's convictions. But if one has crappy convictions, well . . .

3. Why would the morally blind be able to distinguish between

immoral recklessness and moral clarity. This is the blind praising their blind leader. And why wouldn't they, before they fall in the ditch together?

5. And this is the root of the problem. The people who believe

that there is anything moral about this man simply cannot and will not see the truth about him. The will defend him no matter what he does, no matter what he says, and no matter who he hurts or endangers.
