The graphic distortion has been removed on the online versions found elsewhere on this website.
Please accept our sincere apology for any confusion.

EMPATHY DISORDER: THE KEY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LEFT AND RIGHT
Discussed by S.A. Sam McCarthy
with The Washington Stand (www.WashingtonStand.com/)
While the term “empathy” is fairly broad, it’s generally
understood to be the capacity to understand and relate to another person and
thus value and take into consideration the other person’s feelings, needs, and
well-being.
Today, Sam McCarthy discusses one stark difference between the Right and the Left: Empathy. Sam is a news writer at
The Washington Stand.

Questions/Issues Discussed:
What is “empathy”? What is “sympathy”?
Do Liberals equate empathy/compassion/concern to something entirely different than Conservatives?
Sam explains how many on the Right order empathy according to emotional, moral, and even physical proximity, while the Left’s empathy is simply disordered.
Rene Good: Was her empathy misplaced?
What happened in American society to cause Empathy Disorder? Sam discusses some of the online patterns of those who have been responsible for recent mass shootings.
How can we, as Christians, help those with an Empathy Disorder? Is there hope?

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:
Do you have humility and gratitude before God for the grace He extends to you?
Do you ever wonder why you still struggle with sin? David Fleming shares some encouragement from his own personal struggles.
