Loyalty to Truth is the Highest | Dennis Prager's Latest Thoughts | PragerU

There's this incredible responsibility that the Turning Point USA now has to make sure that their speakers remember who they're speaking to, that they're speaking to the young and the impressionable. You speak about morality. Can you give me another example of how you would address coaching young people in this kind of an environment? Uh here's another value that can easily come into conflict and through much of human history has conflicted with morality and that was loyalty. Then loyalty is beautiful if it's moral. Loyal to an a-hole is not moral. I why is that not obvious? Because to the people who say that that loyalty to my friend who has gone to the dark side in morality uh must continue because that's what a friend is about. I I I'm sorry. I I don't agree with that at all. Loyalty to kin meaning extended family. Loyalty to ethnic ethnicity e ethnically related people. Loyalty to my tribe to my nation. uh in many many instances uh these produced much of the evil of human history. Loyalty the the the kinship trumped the moral. Nothing can trump the moral. That that's my point. That's what true conservatism is. We conserve the greatest values of history and one of them is that God wants us to be good and that's number one. He doesn't say loyal to kin and he doesn't say loyal loyalty to friends. Those are be beautiful things if they're moral. Uh he doesn't say any of these other things. He wants us, he created us to be good to one another. And by the way, when we weren't good to one another and everybody was pretty rotten, the story goes that he d he destroyed the world.
