Morality

In Thursday night’s Democratic Presidential Primary debate in New Hampshire, Democratic Party Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was asked about her emails on her private email server.

Clinton pointed Thursday to emerging reports that former Secretary of State Colin Powell and the immediate staff of former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice also received classified national security information on their personal email accounts. The details were included in a memo written by the State Department watchdog that was released Thursday.

Because of course. Someone else did it, too, and that makes Clinton’s mishandling of classified information all right. The rightness or wrongness of a behavior is not at all inherent in the act; rightness—morality, integrity, ethics—comes entirely from whether it was done before or someone else is also doing it now.

This is typical of the Left’s view of morality. We don’t need another of these in the White House.
