George W.’s War on Evil
A testimony to the war in Iraq
By Dr. Jaseph Mayberry
I am sick and tired of liberals shoving their propaganda and falsified facts down my throat. America’s youth and gullible are being misguided by the local news, MSNBC, MTV, CNN, HBO, The New York Times, and every other form of liberal partisan media. They lead you to believe Reagan was in the wrong during the Cold War, that Clinton was a saint, and that Bush is an idiot. Well it’s time we use actual facts and history to find out the truth about the president of the United States of America.
EVIL EXISTS
I was reading Sean Hannity’s book “Deliver Us From Evil” when I first heard the idea that liberals refuse to recognize pure evil. He argues that history has shown that liberals are naive when facing evil right in front of them. Liberals believe that they can change a person and that the preschool method of talking it out will always work. That method didn’t always work in preschool, and it doesn’t always work in the adult world either. If a bully wants your lunch money he is going to take it and if a priest likes touching little boys he is going to do it. It is up to right-minded sane people to stop the evils of this world by using all force necessary…if talking it out doesn’t work of coarse.
If you don’t believe in evil, if evil is just a word used with spiritual meaning, then how do you explain Hitler? Adolph Hitler was obviously not a good man. And to blame his acts on insanity are only justifying his actions. This was a man that was not going to stop at anything to take over the world. The truth is Hitler was an evil man and that is why he did what he did.
I can go on for pages trying to convince you of evil by using facts from history. But that’s not the purpose of this article. If you still refuse to believe in pure evil I personally think you are being ignorant and stubborn. I ask those of you nonbelievers to humor me if you plan on reading further and just pretend you believe in evil so you can take in the next bit of information with an open mind. If you are so stubborn that you can’t even fathom this idea of pure evil then you should probably stop reading because you probably lack the intelligence to understand the core idea of this article.
TOTALITARIANISM IS A ROOT OF EVIL
Now that we have rid the thought of nobody or nothing being purely evil it is time to recognize evil, and where it may come from. The fallowing are definitions of two separate forms of government, one is good, and one is evil.
Totalitarianism(to·tali·tari·an·ism n.) - 1: a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.) 2: the principle of complete and unrestricted power in government.
Democracy(de·moc·ra·cy n.) - 1: the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives 2: a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them 3: the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group.
I think this is important to know because it shows us how different two forms of government may be. Communism, Fascism, Nazism, Socialism, etc. are all forms of totalitarianism. Later in the article I will go on to show you why this form of government doesn’t work, and why democracy does.
Now why did I say totalitarianism is a root of evil for the title of this section? Simple, because wanting full control over anything is just plain evil. This type of government makes people greedy and power hungry. This type of government gives people no voice or opportunity to have their own beliefs. I am not saying without totalitarianism there would be no evil, but we sure as hell would be a lot closer.
Some totalitarians are Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Gorbachev, Castro and Hussein. None of these dictators have done anything good for the world. These men are all venal tyrants and should be treated as such. I believe that they may or may not have been evil to begin with, but total power definitely worsened that evil by giving them more ability to do harm to more people with no reaction from their own government.
Democracy has shown to prevail in history. In my opinion all countries should be governed by a democracy and that would surely increase the peace. Democracy isn’t perfect, but it is the closest known government to it. “America has the worst government in the world, besides all the others”.
For a liberal to argue against forcing democracy on another society is just plain stupid. Just look at a liberal’s political party, a Democrat. The original and correct definition of a Democrat is an advocate for democracy. I guess by that definition we are all Democrats. Now are political parties are really separated into liberals and conservatives, not Democrats and Republicans.
APPEASEMENT VS. WAR
Now back to the topic of the article. Now that we can both agree that evil does exist, we need to agree on the way to handle it. A liberal’s way of handling venal despots, and terrorists is usually to try appeasement. Appeasement is the act of granting concessions to potential enemies to maintain peace. In plain English it is when you give a bad man something so he will leave you alone. This does not work with despotic tyrants that want to control the world. Not only that what about the people suffering under the tyrant’s rule. Another liberal response is to make empty threats and try to scare them. Bill Clinton set a mandate to the Iraqi government to take Saddam Hussein out of power or else. Or else what Bill? Or else you are going to do nothing? Yea that’s what I thought, now let the real men handle it.
A conservative’s way of handling evil is a little different. We don’t give them anything they want and then warn them to get out or we will take you out. Now what’s wrong with that? I know war sucks, and Americans die when we go to war. But how many Americans would be dead if we didn’t get involved in WWII, I mean it took the deaths of Americans at Pearl Harbor just to get involved in that war. You see we sat back and did nothing and the Japs bombed us anyways.
Now that we know liberals stand for appeasement and are against war, and conservatives are called war mongers by liberals but just try to handle evil in the rough way that it takes, we can talk about some history in where appeasement was tried and failed and a conservative got the job done.
Neville Chamberlain, prime minister during the beginning of Hitler’s rule, was a known liberal. Chamberlain did nothing to stop Hitler, ho only gave in to his every demand while Churchill, Chamberlain’s successor, told him over and over that appeasement would not work. By the end of Chamberlain’s term he had given Hitler Czechoslovakia and Poland without a fight to stop him. Then it was time for action, Winston Churchill came in to take care of business. With the help of Roosevelt who had finally found his way into the war, Churchill lead the way to Hitler’s demise. And only when we found evidence of the Holocaust were people shocked at what a tyrant this man was. All you had to do was listen to the voice of the conservative Winston Churchill in the beginning and millions of lives may have been saved.
Jimmy Carter, one of America’s most liberal and in my opinion stupid presidents ever. President Carter was able to do nothing to stop communism from taking over the world. The Soviet Union’s communist rule was growing strong even before Carter’s term as president, but it became a much more threat to America while he was in office. Well what did Carter do? He managed to get rid of one of our strongest allies Iran, which separated the Soviets from the rest of the Middle East. He weakened our military, by giving them less funs, about 50% less than the Soviet military received, and he got rid of valuable bombers and weapons that may have helped defend our country in a time of war. Appeasement only made the communists hungry for more power, and they felt invincible.
Just to let you know how bad communism really is an estimated 100 plus million innocent people have died from communism by gas chambers and various forms of torture, opposed to the 25 million that died in the Holocaust. Americans lost pride in their country and thought we were on a never unstoppable downfall.
Well one man knew this country could be saved from communism. One man had faith in this democracy and in the strength of the United States of America. President Ronald Reagan came into office when America needed him the most. Arguably one of the best presidents of the twentieth century, president Reagan would stop at nothing to protect our country and stop Gorbachev and his communist followers. The first thing he did was strengthen our military in such a massive way never seen before. This pissed off liberals of coarse because the would rather see their money put into education and welfare. Reagan knew that these communists had to be stopped and he did it. After Reagan stood strong and didn’t give in to Gorbachev or get scared of his nuclear weapons he made him have the Berlin wall torn down. Soon after the fall of the wall communism had lost and the Soviet Union was done for.
Now we face similar problems today. Bill Clinton did nothing as Saddam killed his own people, funded terrorism, and had American embassies bombed. Sure he set that mandate we talked about, but he didn’t follow threw and take military action. The only thing Clinton ever did was throw a few missiles at some terrorist camps after our embassies were bombed. Probably the same camps that harbored Al Qaeda and the rest of Osama’s regime. Maybe if Clinton would have tried a little harder we might have two more tall buildings in New York City, and a few more firefighters up there.
Then George W. Bush came in to handle business. After 9.11 all Americans were a little more conservative. There were very few Americans that didn’t want a war, and rightfully so. But it didn’t take long for the politicians to get involved and liberals to start bitching. All of a sudden we weren’t Americans anymore we were liberals and conservatives again. So what if we haven’t found exactly where Osama is yet, we will, and we have destroyed the Al Qaeda in the process!
Now why did we go to war with Iraq? Maybe because Saddam wouldn’t let the UN check for weapons of mass destruction. We gave him time. Listen I am sorry, but after 9.11 I am a little on edge, so if you just let us check out your country and make sure you’re not planning on annihilating all of us we will be ok. Instead Saddam resisted and we took action. Because conservatives don’t make empty threats, we say what we mean. Saddam is a despot and killed many people while he was a dictator. Saddam funded and harbored terrorist, something we should have zero tolerance for. But still liberals argue that this war was unjust, and that there isn’t any terrorist in Iraq. What do you call a four year old with an AK47, or an 8 year old with C4 strapped to his chest?
The truth is evil does exist, totalitarianism is a root of evil, and war is the only way to handle these tyrants. I believe this because of facts and history, why do liberals believe in appeasement? I will close this article with a quote from the great Winston Churchill.
“If you’re not a liberal when you’re young you don’t have a heart, if you’re not a conservative when you’re older you don’t have a brain”
Thank you!
Later read/pingout.
Pretty good, lots of typos.
Welcome to FR.
They just define evil differently. For lefties, evil is when people don't let them do what they want.
couldn't have said it better myself.
Yea I'm not the best writter out there, but I like to concider myself a revolutionary thinker. And I like to express my views mispelled, and with bad grammer even.
Nicely done. A spell check would be in order however.
Great article,
I would only add that pride is at the root of all evil.....and agree with you that these despots and dictators are racked with pride......
I wonder how many of these great replys I would get if I told you all I was only 21 with such strong beliefs. I recently posted this testimony as I call it on Myspace.com in the forums, us politcis section and was ripped apart by liberals without any spiratual belief. If any of you guys get the time check out those bipartisan forums and lend me the helping hand I need.
Good reasoning, but refusing to use standard spelling and punctuation doesn't show much respect for potential readers. It also distracts from your message, because every time someone sees "of coarse," he cracks up and has to go get another drink.
Thank you for writing the article.
Well if my bad use of grammer has taken away from the point of my article I am verry sad. From now on I will send the first draft to you for editing.
Thanks, I originally wrote this article for liberals, but I enjoy getting a conservative's perspective far more.
While I admire the sentiments expressed therein, I would have placed a great deal more assessment of its worth if the realization that we are a Constitutional Republic was correctly recognized. We are not a 'Democracy'. And nothing personal, but all the typos detract from the overall value of whatever position you attempt to elucidate in any venue.
If you did, you would publish a much more professional and persuasive product.
Dividing people into good and evil is a heresy and people get closest to evil when they are convinced that they are good (Lenin and Hitler were convinced of their goodness). The truth in this matter was well expressed by Alexander Solzhenitsyn in Gulag Archipelago :
With spell check...Well, if my bad use of grammar has taken away from the point of my article, I am very sad. From now on I will send the first draft to you for editing.
If you're going to be a conservative, learn to use the spell check. If you're going to be a FReeper, be a little better at accepting the constructive criticism.
your first article on FR does show you to be capable of revolutionary thinking.
and don't let the spelling police bother you.
i am by far the worst on here and pretty much don't care.
