A question from the late Joseph Welch

On June 9, 1954, an attorney at a nationally televised Senate hearing posed this question to Senator Joseph McCarthy

You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

Over the last 72 hours we've seen the despicable spectacle of some of the most vulnerable people in society subjected to abuse for crass political gain.

The story is the same, whether it is this decades' high tech lynching of a conservative who doesn't play by the Left's rules; the cyberstalking of 17 year old Bristol Palin or the brute thuggish effort to burn the skin of old men and women in St. Paul.

The point is to punish political opponents, and to victimize the weak and vulnerable as a means to cower the strong.

I fear much of the Left has bought into their own apocalytyptic hype. Therefore, they cannot afford to let the public make a reasoned decision s to the nation's future. They must bully their opponents into submission.

Sadly, the closer we get to winning this election the worse this will get, But the bottom line is, many on the Left don;t  have decency.

I may think the folks at Whole Foods are haughty and naive, but I don;t wish ill on them. But I sense that many of them are quick to disparage the faithful and the patriotic as less worthy than those who have seen the liberal light; thus, they get whatever their brethren dish out.

There is another thing for sure. After the bullies get done picking on the vulnerable, it's the turn for the stronger people to get bullied.
