Frida Ghitis: Left politics today is a twisted moral calculus.
Ghitis says it's worth making what we don’t owe to them.
She says it’s worth resisting the Left 's agenda by refusing to bend the knee to them, not to pay them the debt they say you owe them.
The penance you must pay is your acquiescence to those who aim to “dismantle” our society, she says.
Frida Ghitis: Don't accept the idea that the people who the Left insists are unfairly “marginalized” are off-limits for criticism.
Ghitis says the Left routinely uses economic disparities as emotional blackmail.
She says it's hard to believe that disrespecting someone’s beliefs or values is necessarily an attack on their humanity or personhood. It's not. We are obligated to respect the personhood of every individual.
They want you resigned to your personal debt and to the idea that it can never be paid, they say.
The Christian tradition teaches us that our indebtedness is cosmic and transcendent.
We must recognize these demands as logically untenable.
