The left instinctively sides with evil.

[driftless2]

The leftist lie is that Europeans spread war and disease to erstwhile peaceful, progressive areas of the earth and stole the riches and knowledge of those peaceful, progressive areas.

The actual history shows the Europeans were constantly being invaded by foreign conquerors (Mongols, Moors, Turks) and killed by the millions by diseases coming from foreign countries.

Meanwhile, while subjugating certain foreign populations, Europeans also brought technology, science, and modern medical practices to many backwards places.

Moral of the story: never trust a leftist to tell the truth about anything. The best they can do is a half truth.

The evils of the left are pretty obvious to us because we are protesting them all the time.

How about the evils of the right, which together with the other evils comprise the evils of all mankind?

All these evils occur when something that is not God is afforded the place we should be affording to God.

In the case of the left, an example (and probably the main) usurped divine quality is lovingkindness. This gets assigned to a godless government (or supra-government entity like the UN) which proceeds to make a tragic hash of it, not having any picture of the purpose of life except to live unto the government.

In the case of the right, an example usurped divine quality is evangelism... yes, I said evangelism. I see all the complaints that Caesar’s government isn’t allowed to bring God into schools any more. Which sounds like a plausible place to bring blame for the godlessness seen in schools. Until we start seeing Facebook accounts of how kids, who never knew that it was supposed to be forbidden, bring a gospel mindset with them (meaning an actual personal allegiance to Jesus, not a bunch of philosophies).

By mis-estimating the place and power of God, both left and right err.

And me, I probably have not done this as well as I could either. I don’t present my essay as perfect, only as approaching the perfect compared with where most of the political world is. We have to treasure God again for all He is worth, and that privately, we can’t “let George do it.” Then we will see a source of salt and light once more that will keep and illuminate all that goes on around it.

The left is about victimhood. It’s very hard if you’re a straight white male, because you are considered the oppressor. Unless you have lots of money.

The best thing the honky libs ever stumbled upon is their “white privilege” gig. Now they can hate themselves ALL of the time. Being miserable and full of hate always makes commie libs happy.

Ping.

We are talking about WHITE liberals here. Black and Brown liberals feel all racially superior when they see white libs grovel.

[trebb]

We know that liberals desperately pursue those things that cause them to hate themselves. Who knows why? Perhaps it is some kind of sick reason to justify their miserable existence, a sort of mental self-flagellation, to join the endless cognitive dissonances that also reside in the liberal psyche. Whatever the reason, for the rest of us, this liberal lunacy causes only puzzled disbelief and amused head-scratching.

Seems to be an infectious condition - many here appear to have caught it.
