....if what bothers you most is evil -- the deliberate infliction of cruelty on people by people -- North Korea, Congo, China, Syria and radical Islam will bother you more than anything else on the world scene. So, then, what was the subject of the meeting convened Friday by the United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights? The alleged racism of the name of the National Football Leagues Washington team, the Redskins. Thats right. All these horrific evils are happening as you read this, and the second-ranking official in charge of human rights at the United Nations had a meeting about the name Washington Redskins. The U.N. is not alone in paying undue attention to the Redskins name. The left in the United States is nearly obsessed with it. President Barack Obama has spoken out against it. The Washington Post editorial board has demanded that the team drop the name. In the herd-like way that governs media, innumerable columnists and sports writers have written passionate columns against the name, and increasing numbers of sports writers have vowed to never again write or speak the name. This left-wing obsession with a non-evil exemplifies the lefts moral universe. That universe is preoccupied with lesser evils while nearly always ignoring the greatest evils.
