In his book on St. Francis, G. K. Chesterton puts forth the argument that the Dark Ages, after the fall of Rome, were a time of prayer and fasting. He claims the West needed to adopt a monastic lifestyle to drive out the demons of the fallen pagan culture; nature worship of pagan Rome lead to many things unnatural.

Catholic ping!

These Leftists are increasingly raging animals, emptied of all civility and conscience.

We were told that these would arise and shock the moral sensibilities of God-fearing people. Just didn’t know it would happen to our generation.

The phenomenon we are seeing is something worse than anger and hatred. It is rage. Rage is irrational. You cannot argue with rage. Rage is cruel and violent for its own sake. Rage is anarchical and demonic in its absurdity and irrationality. When I say it is demonic, I am not exaggerating or being symbolical. The spirit of hatred has overtaken people, and I fear what we are seeing is only the beginning.

I fully concur.

Rage is caustic. It damages not only its intended victims, but those who concoct and sling it in all directions. The base level of rage is one more reason I believe it's time and past time to split our failed constitutional republic into two nations: a restored constitutional public, and a leftist extremist workers' and peasants' paradise on earth, or whatever the self-styled "progressives" and "liberals" would like to call it.

Not all divorces are evidence of failure: sometimes, they're the first long, painful step out of the morass.

At least that Darkseeker had a legitimate reason to be enraged.

I’ve been pondering the left since they went into Darkseeker mode. Is it curable? What IS the cure?

[GilesB]

Lefties are are acting mindlessly, irrationally?

Who’da thought?

[Tax-chick]

When one asks, “What has Person X done that has harmed you?” the raving trolls have no response. They are distressed simply by the existence of decency.

As our culture moves away from Biblical principles we will devolve as a society and the vacuum and void of these guiding principles will be replaced by something...

...evil and dark...

I have always wonder, why do you need fasting with the prayer?

Plus also I was told, and I could be wrong on this, so please do update me, that the Easter season, there is to be no fasting, because of the joy of the resurection of Christ. During Lent you fast.

[Lera]

I am not an authority on the subject, but I venture the diagnosis that if they are not literally demon possessed, then their personalities have been oppressed by evil to such an extent that they are out of their minds.

They are being given over to their sins . It's a judgement on them .

What to do? This sort only comes out by prayer and fasting.

Nothing happens without first repenting and repenting does not mean feeling sorry for anything.

Black urban mobs exhibiting irrational anger and hate ...

[Friendofgeorge]

I agree that anybody that voted for Obama had no love for Jesus/God in his or her heart

Same deal for anybody that voted for Clinton, Kerry, Gore or Carter, and probably beyond
