BS.

I'm rarely wrong and have never been evil as I understand what the word means.

You misread the quote. It is "The right, he noted, generally sees the left as wrong but not evil, whereas the left sees the right not merely as wrong but as evil."

It's not about what you actually are, but how the left perceives you.

Evil sees us as evil because we get in their way.

“It was giving women the right to vote that revealed the flaw.”

I once would have argued against that sentence but now I view it as being as obvious as the Sun rising in the morning, I don’t know how we ever lost sight of the truth, women truly are different from men, better than men at many things, far worse at some things and mostly lacking in logic. The sight of AOC at the SOTU is enough to show any thinking person that no woman should be involved in government.

... as an ideology, Progressivism – the rebranding of Communism – embraces totalitarianism and absolute statist control, which always and everywhere leads to misery, corruption, and brutality, and never elevates humanity.

Our side must come up with alternatives to commie solutions - or the uninformed will take us down the path to oblivion.

Leftism is run by the spirit of antichrist and will be the force that takes those who don't repent into the seven-year hell on earth coming soon, but not quite yet.

“We must accept the reality that leftists have long since abandoned rational rules of engagement, if they ever had any; instead, they operate from a hate-filled mob mentality, a bloodlust for power, and a complete absence of moral boundaries. We cannot afford a lack of moral clarity about the undeclared civil war raging across the United States of America.”

That is the first step. What’s our second step? The left is well into their second step of physical warfare, what do we need to do to respond in kind and win? What is our counterattack plan?

Not all women are stupid dolts lacking in rational thought. Some of us are actually quite intelligent. The issue is that the left constantly puts forth stupid women who have been conditioned to hate family, so have no competing demands on their time when it comes to occupying political office. Intelligent conservative women have priorities other than running for political office, so you won’t see us much in public life.

Sadly, since the majority of women in public life are idiots, one could easily assume that they are representative of all women. They are not.

the left is at war with civil society
Socialism is cynicism directed towards society and - correspondingly - naiveté towards government.

Spent the last week on vacation with my life time best friends who are Democrats, no lefties just lean left. They are Christians, go to church every week. We don't talk politics that much, they are not that informed by NPR.

After some discussions especially about the recent remarks by the Virginia Governor, I exclaimed, "You just cannot be a Christian and vote for Democrats anymore, they agreed!

Political friction comes from one group of people forcing their opinions on others. Let the city socialists have everything they want in exchange for keeping it within city limits. Socialism is the biggest weapon of mass destruction ever invented. If the Democrats want to play with the big bomb, let them.

What is evil?

It depends on one's standard of value. The ultimate alternative for a living organism is existence or nonexistence (life or death). The rational standard of value is life. Whatever is harmful to life is evil. The politics and economics harmful to life are statism and socialism.

Too much commerce is controlled by cities, due to their possessing the ports of entry/exit. Same applies to ideology, which would never stay behind such enclaves but would spread like a fire elsewhere.

We have to come up with viable alternatives to socialism because there's lots of gullible people in our country capable of falling for the lies socialism puts out.

It's a seductive system - but one that NEVER works...

I have NO desire to have our beautiful country turn into a hellhole like Venezuela or Cuba or North Korea. We need to come up with solutions that DON'T concentrate power in the hands of commie thugs.

Because 'power' is all care about ... even Michael Moore and Bernie know Communism doesn't work... they have no place to point to where they can say 'See it works'... while we have many places to point out that say 'Hellhole' - 'Death camps' - Mass starvation'...

And yeah, we need to say those words. The opposition is playing for real... and we need to STOP acting like they're a joke. They mean it AND the fools in the press are standing with them... as usual. Duranty anyone?

That used to be true, cities were once vital economic hubs that were protected at all costs, but American commerce is increasingly moving online into virtual cities. Any economies of scale the legacy cities had are gone. Nothing there costs less anymore except massive quantities of illegal drugs. Towers of steel had their day but every technology has its run and is replaced by something better. Cities aren't the economic crown jewels they used to be. Democrats now run all the old cities and really they can have them.

I don’t see ports of commerce moving out of the cities. One cannot move a truck, train, ship or plane (and the contents thereof) into and out of a “virtual city”. Cities originally sprang up at the locations they currently occupy due to the natural features that effected ease of such commercial transportation; one cannot abandon them to tyrants since that still gives them too much control over the rest of the country and too much ease of dissemination of their anti-culture. (Not to mention the strategic importance of such locations from a military standpoint.)

Or outlets for the socialism to go. We're always going to have a left side of the bell curve trying to loot the right. By giving cities unlimited power to tax and regulate, the socialist destruction can be contained within city limits. City slicker Democrats are now dependent on gun toting Republicans for most of their food, water, electricity, fuel, heat, consumer products, building materials, and military protection. Socialism can actually work if the socialists leave alone the people they depend on for everything.

Socialism has always been a Trojan horse, a weapon of war. Wish it on all your enemies.

Yes, that's what socialists want - the power to shove people around.

They can do that when people are dependent on them - or when they have the power of starvation or State Controlled Weapons - - tools they've used everywhere they've gotten power.

That's why we can't give an inch... Yes, we can offer medical care - based on 'invisible hand' economics. A system that DOES NOT enslave but works. And we can counter them in many areas - what we can't do is pretend their twisted message doesn't work. Because it does work - and there's millions of dead people the world over who 'didn't see it coming' until it was too late.

Our Constitution (and free market) is and has always been a “viable alternative to socialism”. Implying we have to come up with something new is a red herring, with all due respect, as is the further implication that our Constitutional system is no longer viable.
