The “Self Interest” Argument to Those Insisting that Murdering CEOs Is Justified

Jesus answered him, “Friend, do what you have come for.” Then stepping forward they laid hands on Jesus and arrested him. And behold, one of those who accompanied Jesus put his hand to his sword, drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its sheath, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

Matthew 26:50-52

About 35 years ago or so I was approached by a young lady I knew who wanted some advice. She was approached by a fellow I knew and was interested but wanted my opinion on jumping in so to speak.

Now there was a time when the obvious answer: “He’s married!” would have ended the conversation before it began but as this fact had not dissuaded her I decided arguing on moral grounds would fail so instead I made a point concerning self interest noting that if he was willing to abandon a wife and kids to score with you how much faster would he drop you for the next willing woman without those incentives to stay faithful.

And that brings us to the question at hand.

Not too long ago it would have been a given that gunning down a person in cold blood is wrong and that would be the end of the conversation but apparently for the modern college student who is being indoctrinated by leftist Marxist professors who have abandoned the idea that life is sacred such an argument isn’t going to work so let me make one based on simple self interest to those who are cheering over this murder:

1st of all if you are a college student doing this you can kiss goodbye any prospect of getting hired by any significant company for any responsible position but given that many of the folks leading the cheers are already from families with dough that might not be enough of an incentive so let’s get down to the nitty gritty.

If you’re argument is that the “harm” or “potential” harm that a CEO is doing to you or others in a justification for murder then by that same argument a CEO can look at every single person endorsing such murder, every college professor defending such murder and honestly conclude that such people present a clear and present danger to their lives and the lives of their families and thus have a legitimate justification to kill any such person based on self defense.

Furthermore given that a CEO is likely to have a pretty fair sized checkbook it would not take a lot of effort for such a person to obtain a person willing and able to carry out such an assignment who could act discretely without implicating his employer and unlike a CEO who can afford protection it’s very likely that many of these fools cheering this murder on has no such protection and thus could not only be eliminated but could be taken care of in such a way to make that vulnerability clear to all those others cheering over blood.

Now all of this would be so much easier if we returned to the idea that humans are made in the image of God and murdering people who are not an immediate threat to you and yours is an evil thing to do, but since a segment of the population has abandoned this idea let just point out that it’s rather rash to provide an incentive to a person with power and money to kill you or to encourage a group of people with power, money and connection to do so, but hey that’s just me, what do I know compared to college kids being egged on by his professors on this kids of stuff, but hey that’s just me.

Liberals say the darndest things on social media

Just like most Conservatives and Libertarians who post regularly on social media, I have been bullied and harassed by my progressive friends constantly.  These tedious verbal assaults prove that the political left is a vast top-down echo chamber where reality is frowned upon. For this article I have complied a list of the most common or most absurd comments that my progressive friends have tortured me with over the years.

Just because I was celebrating the fact that Planned Parenthood funding will most likely be on the Department of Government Efficiency chopping block a liberal friend decided to chronicle every single gynecological issue her and her family ever had. She claimed falsely that poor women all across this country would die if Planned Parenthood did not receive funding because that is the only place they get care.  She also repeated the lie over and over again that women in red states are dying because gynecological care was banned by pro-life laws. 

My liberal friends get incensed every time I post the fundamental truth that abortion is murder.  I get bombarded with absurd comments claiming that unborn children are not alive. I often get called a science denier.  Oh the irony. 

One liberal friend informed me that only certain religious sects maintain that unborn children are a vessel for life.  That same friend told me repeatedly that that religion must be kept out of politics.   I found that statement to be rather absurd on several levels. 

Our entire legal system was based on Judean Christian principles.  If you divorce religious morality from government, you get atrocities such as the holocaust and all of the mass slaughters that occurred under communism.

The separation of church and state is a myth.  The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment only prevents the United States from declaring an official State Religion.  It does not prevent individuals from governing according to religious beliefs.  That is actually protected by the Free Exercise of Religion Clause of the First Amendment.
