[Dr. Jaseph Mayberry]

Let me know what you think.

I love the article, and I say not enough is written on this subject. Evil is the elephant that no Lefty wants to look at, yet they love to ascribe it to people that do not do/say the things they want them to do/say. Don't like it when someone says "it's wrong for two men/two women to claim marriage"? They are 'teh eee-vul'.

Thank you!

Later read/pingout.

Pretty good, lots of typos.

Welcome to FR.

I was reading Sean Hannity’s book “Deliver Us From Evil” when I first heard the idea that liberals refuse to recognize pure evil.

They just define evil differently. For lefties, evil is when people don't let them do what they want.

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......

[Tax-chick]

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.

[TAdams8591]

Good work, I agree. Liberals believe in either appeasement or talking things out. Neither works in the face of pure evil, a fact I've long understood.

Thank you for writing the article.

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.

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.

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 :

It was granted to me to carry away from my prison years on my bent back, which nearly broke beneath its load, this essential experience: how a human being becomes evil and how good. In the intoxication of youthful successes I had felt myself to be infallible, and I was therefore cruel. In the surfeit of power I was a murderer and an oppressor. In my most evil moments I was convinced that I was doing good, and I was well supplied with systematic arguments. It was only when I lay there on rotting prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirrings of good. Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhlemed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil.

Good clear writing.

Appeasing evil never works. Keep hammering that point home.

What do I think? If you could only see and hear me. I am standing up and cheering one of the best written essays I have ever read on FR. Bravo.

Don't miss this!
