I have recently done a talk on the self appointed double standards within religion and in my research I had to revisit the double standards within our own medias and laws. I have come to the un-yielding conclusion that it is these double standards that cause our society to loose our educational decision making and hurt our moral fabric.
The most notable double standard in our society is the double standard the "Liberal" media presents about Israel. the only problem is that being an idiot has nothing to do with being a liberal. As JFK says:
"What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label "Liberal?" If by "Liberal" they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer's dollar, then ... we are not that kind of "Liberal." But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." [September 14, 1960]"
I find myself a liberal voice and anti-Zionism has nothing to do with being a liberal. Its just being ignorant. The double standard Israel receives shows that the liberal part of society that can bring about necessary change instead believes that it can be lazy.
This and other double standards are what hurt our world and hurt our worlds chance of being an educational environment instead of a crying match.

A very thoughtful blog. And I must say I agree with it in full.
