True Grit

Another casualty of liberal multiculturalism and man-hating feminism---the Western concept of honor, based on merit, fair play and patriotism. John Tierney:

The problem today, as Bowman sees it, is that the whole concept of defending one’s honor has been devalued in the West — mocked as an archaic bit of male vanity or childish macho chest-thumping. But if you don’t create a civilized honor culture, you risk ending up with the primitive variety.

“The honor system in Arab culture is the default honor system, the one you see in street gangs in America — you dis me, I shoot you,” says Bowman, a scholar at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. “We need a better system that makes it honorable to be protective of those who are weaker instead of lording it over them.”

Apparently most Americans have absorbed the Western concept of honor, as we expect our military and those of our allies to adhere to it, as they do, with few exceptions. We need to start expecting it of others as well, and laud it where we find it......

.....starting at home, in everyday life. Come on liberals, grit your teeth and try to find at least one American hero you can cheer. You too can do your part to give peace a chance.
