Remember the waterboarding scandal of 2013 that so outraged progressives?
After learning about post-9/11 tactics against mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and others, progressives went crazy with condemnation of CIA methods to obtain information about the attack.
Even the clergy got in on the act.
The Rev. Richard L. Killmer, who appears to have a permanent bully pulpit installed at the Huffington Post, is described by that publication as "a Presbyterian minister and the Founding Executive Director of the National Religion Campaign Against Torture, an organization representing more than 320 religious organizations and tens of thousands of Americans of faith committed to ending U.S.-sponsored torture forever." (Italics mine.) The reverend wrote an emotional plea for the release of the torture report.
Even Vice President Joe Biden was cited as agreeing that to "excise the demons" required knowing the truth about post-9/11 torture.
Killmer wrote:
Biden's words echo the fear that we in the faith community have if the truth about torture isn't revealed to the public. The United States has a history of providing important moral leadership in many areas. But by shrouding our tortured past in secret, we endanger both our country's moral legacy and our national security.

Doubtless the debate about the ethics of waterboarding suspected or actual terrorists will continue to be fierce.
But there are worse tortures being perpetrated right here on U.S. soil – tortures that make the heart sick, tortures still unknown to the majority of Americans because of media inattentiveness and the lack of outrage from well-known progressive leaders.

Except there’s not a single thing funny about evil.
Planned Parenthood was being funded by U.S. taxpayers to the tune of billions of dollars even as George W. Bush was pissing away hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of American lives in a stupid "war on terror" halfway around the world.
Psalm 94
20 Can wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who frame injustice by statute?
21 They band together against the life of the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.[b]
22 But the Lord has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He will bring back on them their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will wipe them out.
With every step of “progress” the left makes, we get closer to the “logic” of killing off anyone they define as useless eaters or burdensome, unsatisfying life.
When morality and ethics are rejected, immorality and unethical behaviors in individuals, institutions and government fills the void. We never really turn back the liberal elite’s “progress” in deconstructing our ethics and morals, no matter how hard we try. The best we can do is stop them until they get power again. It’s very frustrating.
