I’m At A Loss For Words

The willingness to die while saving the good versus the willingness to die while destroying all that is good.

NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, reporting from London’s Heathrow Airport, was being interviewed by fellow Leftist Moonbat Chris Matthews. Here is a portion of the interview:

CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST:
But, here we have maybe 24 people who have lived in London and England and the free world for all these years that become citizens, subjects of the Crown, and yet, after having gotten to know us, they want to kill themselves to hurt us. Isn’t that an even deeper conundrum here than the chemicals being used in these attacks?

BRIAN WILLIAMS, ANCHOR, NBC NEWS:
And that, Chris, that last aspect, the willingness to take one’s own life. I always tell people there are guys on our team like that, too. They’re called Army Rangers and Navy Seals and the Special Forces folks and the first responders on 9/11 who went into those buildings knowing, by the way, they weren’t going to come out. So we have players like that on our team.

So, according to NBC News anchor Brian Williams, the terrorists who were about to take 3,000 lives in the bombing of 10 civilian aircraft, are like the Army Rangers, the Navy Seals, the Special Forces, policemen, emergency medical technicians, and firemen?

Someone should explain to this man the difference between “the willingness to take one’s own life”, and “service that could lead to the ultimate sacrifice”. The difference may seem subtle, but it is the difference between a hero, and a suicidal madman.

Typical leftist moral relativism. If you see an EMT, Army Ranger, Marine, or any other First Responder rushing into a building it is probably with the intention of saving lives, and to bring aid and comfort to those inside. If you see somebody from Brian’s “the other team” rushing into a building it is a safe bet nobody will be saved and nobody is going to come out alive, and that is called “Reality Over Relativism”. One begins to wonder exactly which “team” Mr. Williams is playing for.

If you agree, and support, Mr. Williams in his theory that “we have players like that on our team” maybe you should email him and congratulate him on his astuteness at Nightly@NBC.com.
