Repost, phone screwed up formatting Shrug
I will be brief however straight to the point. I am seeing way to much left blaming on this issue. While it appears right now the left is involved with this scandal. Historically it is a bipartisan issue, both sides are highly entrenched. We also need to keep things focused purely as "stopping evil people, no matter, their race religion, political affiliation". Second, we need to be logical, objective, and entrench ourselves with the concepts of logic (Ref=http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/rhetological-fallacies/ memorize make it part of your psyche). This is about the children. I will make a post soonish detailing the potential numbers involved, I will say based on quick equations of the numbers we are looking at a Holocaust size event. Our primary and only motivator is to save the children. Political, religious, and economic ideologies are irrelevant.
Reasons why this needs to happen.
- It is stop the alienation of allies on all sides of the political, philosophical, and economic spectrum. Rather they are socialist, capitalists, libertarian, right wing, or left wing; or they are christian atheist, jew or muslim we are united in stopping evil people.
- According to Sun Tzus art of war, this will eliminate a vector of attack from our enemies. No longer they can write off as a conspiracy movement of the right...but as a movement of justice and humanitarian force that is made up of a united front.
- Finally motivation, if there are political motivations behind every investigation. It will create bias and affect the investigation. It can lead to skipping or missing over evidence. Skew the interpretation of evidence, or influence conclusions. Most importantly the motivation is more being politically right than saving the kids.
I am not saying this is everyone, however I have see many posts on various social mediums that are to political or religious and the MSM is 100% using it as an avenue of attack. Let us drop our religious, economic, and political banners and work together to save these children and stop evil. I am saying this as a Progressive who wants evil destroyed.

A good sentiment, but unrealistic, I think.
The leftist rabble are PC SJWs, they will not accept truth. It is not by our choice that we are a primarily right wing, it is because the leftists will not join us that is the case.
They will use that vector of attack regardless. Again, truth has nothing to do with it.
Being highly motivated is also important, and politics is a powerful motivator. Turning away avenues of research out of an attempt to be apolitical is also bad.
Ultimately, the left does not care that children are being raped and/or killed. They don't even give lip service to caring. Like not caring that Hillary stole the primary from Bernie by blatantly cheating, they dismiss and excuse away all evidence of wrongdoing as right wing lies or justified for the greater good. Like it or not, the moral absolutism of rightists means that's where we are going to get 90% of our support.

There are dems on this board who are every bit as outraged and sickened by this scandal as any conservative. At this point, a lot of them may be temporarily blinded because they think this is a right vs left issue....but once that can be proven wrong, I expect a lot more to come on board. (I don't expect that of rabid SJWs though.) When I first read that Scalia was involved in this stuff....I stepped back and thought "No way!". But after reading more about how deep this goes...I'm not so sure anymore. Same goes for Bush Sr. None of us wants to believe the dirt when it's on our side....not at first, anyway. There are a lot of people who are pointing the finger at Trump too. I'm praying they are wrong. I THINK they are wrong...but we don't know for sure. When he talked about "draining the swamp"...I'm hoping he meant this pedo ring....the root of all the other evil and corruption in our government.

Totally agree. Among the elites, this is way deeper than the left/right divide. But, among the common people, PC culture is a very effective psychological control mechanism. Right-leaning commoners, whose ideological foundation already includes hatred of the elites, will be more open to hearing that they are true villains. I've actually had success with the explanation that this blackmail scheme they have running finally explains the phenomenon that no matter how righteous a Republican seems going in, after a few years in Washington DC they turn into Rinos.
