On the masthead of this blog are four quotes, one of them by reader/blogger Moshe Ben David from a comment he left here that goes:
The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them.
Tam has a concrete example of this in her post The king’s men.
