Myth-
"By blaming everything on society, comteporary liberals are really tring
to escape the personal responsibility that comes with being an American.
If society is responsible for everything, then no one is personally
responsible for anything." Newt Gingrich (1)
"Theirs is an anti-American credo, which abhors American political and
governmental institutions and this nation's capitalistic economy. Their
value system is at war with the Judaeo-Christian tradition upon which this
country was founded..." Rush Limbaugh (2)
Reality
Personal responsibility should be accompanied by social responsibility.
And social responsibility is CENTRAL to the Jewish and Christian
traditions.
"Woe to them that take away the right of the poor."
Isiah 10:1
"Defend the poor and the fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and
needy." Psalms 82:3
'Love thy neighbor as thyself." Matthew 5:43
"All too many of those who live in affluent America ignore those who exist
in poor America; In doing so, the affluent Americans will eventually have
to face themselves with the question that Eichmann chose to ignore: How
responsible am I for the well-being of my fellows? To ignore evil is to
become an accomplice to it." Dr. Martin Luther King (3)
