The Burden Of Tribal Proof

The linked article continues the thread covered here, how the "burden of proof" in BOistan has completely shifted for those who are not members of "The Party" (TP-D). When you are not a member of TP in good standing, you are presumed guilty.

The most basic fact of humanity is that we are ALL guilty of original sin at a minium, a cosmic failure worthy of an eternal death sentance without the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ. Dealing with this problem which we all share determines the fate of our eternal soul -- it is a problem that really will still matter to us in 100 years, a 1000 years, or 10¹⁰⁰ (a "google").

For earthy charges made from one sinner to another, the burden of proof has always been on the accuser since ancient times for obvious reasons. Proving a negative is notoriously hard -- PROVE that Earth has never been visited by aliens from space. Prove that you never did "x". Much like the right of self-defense, it is a basic human right.

Until the advent of BOistan that is! -- now the burden of proof is on the accused, and it is proudly trumpeted from the headlines of mainstream news rather than some backwater of internet fever swamps or academia.
