posted last bread, needs a look.
The Left has coopted a powerful term and with it the moral high ground it does not intend to surrender.
nce a lofty concept, the term social justice has been hijacked and exploited by the political Left to radically transform America and bully Americans into forfeiting many basic rights in deference to the Left’s agenda. Intoning social justice has proven to be a sure-proof formula for silencing average Americans, thereby providing the Left with endless societal victories. After all, who wants to be accused of standing in the way of social justice?
Liberal social justice purveyors view themselves as the country’s moral authority, best fit to decide the allowable extent of our freedom of speech and religion, and believe only they care about social justice and equity.
To date, most liberal assumptions and definitions of social justice have been automatically accepted. For example, the term has been used successfully by the Left for the last half century to validate and implement the welfare state. But what is being advocated is not social justice but socialism, and in other cases a push for radical cultural Marxism.
Most of what passes today for social justice is actually the Marxist/Marcuse/Gramsci leftist playbook wrapped in appealing religious phraseology and platitudes, a framework for never-ceasing revolution and rebellion. It sees its mission fulfilled through constant class warfare, be it economic, racial, gender, or sexual warfare. It confers upon itself a mantle of moral high ground but, in fact, is not a moral category at all, rather a political category. Furthermore, it dangerously overturns classic morality by redefining morality downward and leftward.
The truth is that forging a society governed by a need for justice is not the province of the political Left, but something conservatives can find embedded within seminal documents authored by our Founding Fathers long before the Left began re-defining and laying claim to “justice.” In their quest to “form a more perfect Union and establish Justice” as outlined in the preamble to the Constitution, the Founders, after probing the writings of great English philosophers, realized that equal justice under the law is the quintessential, most profound, and universal application of justice for a nation wishing to “promote the general Welfare."
Justice on a societal/national level is to be achieved, the Founders believed, by crafting a contract between the people and its government, ensuring that the law (justice) be applied equally to all. It is not something random and arbitrary brought about, as in today’s culture, through constant class warfare references, mob riots, or the purposeful sowing of discontent. It should not be used as a rallying call or slogan for toppling others so as to coalesce power to those seeking control over society. The Left’s call for social justice every hour-on-the-hour demonstrates that social justice is, for them, not an end but a tactical means through which to implement the dystopia they want, now.
The Founders made our task easier by detailing for us what constitutes justice, underscoring the need for habeas corpus, trial by jury of one’s peers, prohibiting unlawful searches and seizures and, in the most sweeping gesture of all, crafting a magnificent and special Bill of Rights enshrining the essence of justice: free speech, freedom of religion and assembly, the right to self-defense and protection, and so on. Americans don’t need the Left to sermonize and scold about social justice when the Founders, through the Constitution and Declaration, have already bequeathed the real thing to us. It has already been defined; no need for Gramsci and friends. Exit Left.
Justice is realized by granting liberty: “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” The more government limits its reach, by allowing individuals and their locales primary say-so over their own lives, the greater chance for liberty.

Just noticed this twat by Comey, interesting to note the UK spelling of benefited, so what is he signaling?
I am aware he worked at HSBC, not sure how this fits with that tweet, so how does it?
Not an idiot here I have done and seen the research,and I know what he may or may not be been here a long time. Your answer is not logical to this twat.
So the addition of an extra t, relates to the narrative he stated Baker retired, but really fired,
Thats's it…hmmm
