In other words, he seems to want to be on the moral high road -- even on the basis of his family history, a past over which he had no control, so it should be no big deal.<br /><br />Does he believe in the collective guilt of the past along the lines of Zinn-ism? I think so, but that idea of collective guilt of the past just swam up and bit him on the butt.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-67847269465725217192015-04-28T03:52:38.807-05:002015-04-28T03:52:38.807-05:00Z,

The thugs cuts the fire hoses, so that fires continued to burn throughout the night.<br /><br />Over and over again, all the media kept asking "Where are the police?"<br /><br />People were begging for the National Guard to come in to restore order. It seems that people wanted some "militarization" for their own protection and the protection of their property. I can understand that desire at this point.<br /><br />In my view, the police were in a lose-lose position. Come in and force -- and cries of "Police brutality!" would have resulted because what the police would have had to do in order to restore order would have been condemned.<br /><br />At least 7 Baltimore police officers were seriously wounded -- one remains non-responsive as far as I know.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-52023113920434219112015-04-28T03:45:15.668-05:002015-04-28T03:45:15.668-05:00Duck,

Rather, this blog post is about the sheer absurdity of his wanting to hide the fact that his ancestors held slaves -- when it was legal to do so, no less.<br /><br /><b>Why</b> did Ben Affleck want the information hidden? Because he's the kind of liberal who wants those of this generation punished for what previous generations did over 150 years ago?<br /><br />This is not a tempest in a teapot, Duck. So many liberals and Leftists promote collective guilt for present generations -- based on what happened in the past, often the distant past, even if several generations have tried to make things right. Did not Howard Zinn advocate exactly that -- collective blame?

A couple well received books were published recently.<br /><br />But let's get down to what this is about.<br />Affleck is a liberal and as such he has to be discredited although having ancestors who owned slaves hardly reflects on him.<br /><br />There is no red herring.
