wisdom found on the internet
Zippy says: "The more committed one becomes to making a manifestly indefensible choice, the more intransigently one will insist that any choice is defensible. "

Charity that has not first learned justice is merely sentiment
Pretentious Precepts
"First Things means, first, that the first thing to be said about public life is that public life is not the first thing. First Things means, second, that there are first things, in the sense of first principles, for the right ordering of public life."

Of course, by linking to my video, it was a dishonest accusation suggesting that I think all choices are permissible, and that I am advocating choices which can't be held.
It's a nice slogan; but we all know "thou shalt not give false witness" is more than a slogan, but a law.
Ok, fair enough.
I'll take the link to your post down.
I'm sorry for that Henry.

I knew when you posted it, it was a direct copy of Zippy's post. So I knew it was not your direct statement to my video.
Nonetheless, thanks for acknowledging the point!
A hyperlink to your actual video is false witness? What an odd little world you live in, Henry. ("All choices" in this context clearly refers to all the actual options you present in the video, BTW.)
Hmm.
Touche Zippy.
I don't know what to think.
Good quote from Zippy. Some CINO's were once practicing Catholics and this quote is a fine synopsis of their slouch towards relativism.
