Geee Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 American Thinker: Moral relativism, prominently on display in current events, is an anathema to the transcendent, objective moral standards necessary to distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad. President Obama's recent Mideast trip included a press conference in Ramallah where he stood under a conspicuously large banner of Yassar Arafat, former chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, responsible for the deadly bombings of hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians. Conservative pundits promptly questioned the willingness of our incessantly "optics" conscious president to be photographed against a backdrop of Arafat's image. They contrasted this with his administration's previous request to cover up all religious symbols visible in the backdrop at a speech given at the Roman Catholic-based Georgetown University in 2009. As expected, the fawning liberal media came to the president's defense responding that this was all much ado about nothing. One prominent liberal analyst on a cable news network took the opportunity to expound further. He opined that, though the Israeli's considered Arafat to be a terrorist, the Palestinian people revered him as a freedom fighter, similar to the way in which American's revered George Washington who was viewed by the British as an outlaw rebel.
