I saw this article and thought it was well said.  Since I'm not religious, I can't confirm her claims on that.Social Justice is an Oxymoron




SUSAN BROWN





From Washington, D.C. to the NFL and Hollywood,
America’s idols are tumbling down. This is not a bad thing. For too
long, we have wasted precious time and money worshipping these so-called
“social justice” warrior hypocrites who continue to disappoint.
Here’s to hoping all this disappointment will lead us back to what really matters, but don’t count on it.

Huge swaths of Americans still bow at the altar of
social justice. They believe government-forced “charity” will advance
us to an utopian paradise where everyone enjoys the same outcome,
despite personal effort, upbringing, unique abilities and education.
Truth is, though, social justice is an oxymoron
based on the false premise that the cure for injustice is leveling the
playing field and redistributing wealth. As former Vice President Joe
Biden once said, “You may call it redistribution of wealth",  I just
call it being fair.”
Karl Marx would be so proud.
Marx hated religion, private property and
Judeo-Christian values as much as leftists do today. That’s why you
should bolt out of any place of worship that combines Jesus, social
justice and the government in the same sentence.
In his book, “The Fatal Conceit: The Errors of
Socialism,” economist Friedrich Hayek nails what’s really at stake: “The
aim of socialism is no less than to affect a complete redesigning of
our traditional morals, law and language and on this basis to stamp
out the old order and the supposedly inexorable, unjustifiable
conditions that prevent the institution of reason, fulfillment, true
freedom and justice.”
Yesteryears’ creepy social justice warriors are
now out of the closet and no longer hide their agenda. Instead, they
give it a pink boa and parade their intentions to destroy capitalism,
silence free speech and scrub Judeo-Christian values from the public
square.
They harp about injustice and claim only they can
fix it, which is one of the most arrogant, egotistical piles of hogwash
you’ll ever hear.
All that, while they divide us into two groups,
normal folks and them. They believe normal folks are about as smart as
slugs, therefore incapable of coherent reasoning and self-care. To them,
everyday Americans aren’t diamonds in the rough, they are pliable,
moldable objects used to reshape America into a socialist nightmare like
Venezuela.
As I’ve said before, Democrats’ sacrosanct belief
that the government was created to control how fairness is spread around
is nothing more than a modern-day effort to reinvent Robin Hood,
without all the chivalry and green tights.
Those who romantically embrace the concept of
social justice believe the misnomer that stealing from some and passing
it on to those who should have had it in the first place will result in
some sort of righteous leveling.
Leftists don’t own the market on charity. Normal
folks leave government out of the mix and combine their compassion with
common sense. They bring food in one hand and a rifle in the other,
knowing if they teach someone how to hunt, they’ll eat for a lifetime.
In comparison, leftists bring Trader Joe’s bagels
in one hand and a voter’s registration card in the other. Seizing the
opportunity to convert their victims into nonthinking entitlement
aficionados, they stop at nothing to meet an immediate need, then lead
them by their noses to leftist-run metropolises where crime and
government handouts abound.
I know, the devil is always in the details, but
I’ll go ahead and say it anyhow. Forced “charity” doesn’t bring about
justice. Instead, it creates injustice when it stirs up animosity
between the less fortunate and those being penalized, taxed, for their
hard work under penalty of prosecution.
In sharp contrast, there is a power in authentic
generosity that no amount of government social-engineering could or will
ever match. The social justice crowd should dust off the knees they
protest with and try it sometime.

I never could understand how taking from one and giving it to another without their consent was in some twisted way considered "fair" or "just". 4951

@jaynefromVT:  I'll have to check that out.  Let's face it, BOTH parties have been bought out by extremists, industries, and special interest groups.

@FoFa:  41 years of marriage and the lower #3 is still an issue.  When I go to the bathroom, I put it in the proper position (front) and she will change it to back when she goes in.  Sometimes, I just take the roll of off the roller and set the roll on top of the roller.

sorry but i think the woman is full of ****. the story of our culture is a gradual awakening to social justice and regardless of claims otherwise, it has made life better for the average person and family by if necessary, putting pressure on employers for 40 hour work weeks etcat the present time, you are seeing blowback fanned by social conservatives  thus leading to things like trumps justice dept saying it is legal to discriminate against lesbians and gays.the ballyhooed tax reform is a giveaway program for the wealthy. remember the other side of that coin has always been the idea that god rewards the good people with wealth which any slight deliberation will quickly disprove. bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. the move for things to fly under the social trickle down wont work anymore than trickle down economics works 4951

If the holder is a dual side holder, then over the top and in front, because the holder of this type super sucks.However, if you have the one sides super duper great TP holders, then down the back.So much easier to use that way.So much easier in fact, it is worth changing out those horrible two sided TP holders for. 4951
