There is an unstoppable force that drives a person if he willingly submits.
I've seen this force a few times, most piercingly with Judy and Mike Miller (not their real names).
The Millers were the most disturbed, and disturbing, couple I have ever worked with. Mike Miller molested all three of their daughters. Each time a daughter was removed, the couple responded by having another one.
Although their behavior was monstrous, they didn't present as monsters. Mike was an affable, gangly man with a vacant stare. Judy was bubbly and effervescent. When she visited her children in our dark and airless county office, she acted as though it were a carefree day in the park.
Although I last saw this couple 25 years ago, I'll never forget them. What is burned in my mind is not just the ghastliness of their crimes. It is their ordinariness.
Mike and Judy bring to mind Hannah Arendt's phrase about the Gestapo: "the banality of evil." There was nothing about the Millers' appearance or background that was particularly unusual. If they had lived next door, they would have seemed as normal as apple pie.
I learned another profound lesson from Mike and Judy: that evil has an unstoppable nature. It didn't matter that the state removed each and every one of their children. Mike didn't care if he spent time in prison. When he was released, the couple would simply reproduce again.
I'll never forget the day I said goodbye to them, when I (blessedly) transferred to another department. Excitedly, Judy shared with me her happy news. She was pregnant once again -- with another girl.
But in the end, it wasn't about Mike and Judy, or the other hideous child-molesters I worked with. There was a force moving inside of them, far more lethal than their own.
There were dark forces lurking, reproducing -- literally, in the Millers' case. This is what happens when evil is left to grow, unrecognized and untethered.
Human beings have free will. Mike and Judy bear full responsibility for their loathsome deeds. But liberal policies made it easy; they added fuel to evil's fire.
For instance, liberal judges don't lock up people like Mike and throw away the key. Instead, liberalism throws away good money on bad people. By aiding and abetting the enemy, our culture emboldens the darkness.
But liberalism goes one step deeper. Through indoctrination in political correctness, millions of people don't even recognize evil when it is staring them in the face.
The masses are so confused that they see good people (Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann) as bad and bad people as good. Consequently, radical Islam is viewed as a religion of peace. Liberals plaster "Coexist" bumper stickers on their bumpers and welcome "victory mosques" like New York's Cordoba House.
Liberals enable evil, perhaps becoming engulfed by it themselves. The Powers that Be whip up the fury while programmed citizens react with venomous rage.
Meanwhile, the MSM is missing in action, on a ceaseless search for that elusive racist Tea Partier. In places high and low, on urban streets and in tony Georgetown, that unstoppable quality of evil gathers tornado-like force.
After Sen. Scott Brown's win, some people envisioned that Obama would start leading from the middle. It didn't happen. Many people now predict the Democrats will self-destruct if conservatives win big. Perhaps Obama won't even run for a second term.
But I don't believe that any of this will happen. Because Barack and Michelle and the men behind the curtain -- and the creepy czars and Pelosi and Schumer -- they are all fueled and propelled by that same unstoppable force.
That's why we need to dislodge the Democrats from power. And that's why, in my opinion, conservatives need to band together and elect as many Republicans as possible.
Will the Republicans betray us again? Sure. Will Obama and the Left try every dirty trick in the book to push their radical agenda? Of course. However, neutralizing power and paralyzing Washington may be our best choices.
When it came to Mike and Judy, our options were also miserably imperfect. As much as we tried, we never stopped this heinous couple from creating a hell on earth for several children.
But at least we wrenched those girls away from their sick and evil parents. At least we brought them to safe harbor and showed them decent, wholesome love.
They may be basket cases now, for all I know. But at least we gave them a fighting chance.
Ugh. A disturbing correct read on things.
You cannot successfully bump heads with Satan.
You can, however, pray.
Up until a few years ago, I would try to understand or explain some of the insane, evil behavior we witness on a daily basis.
Now, I think to myself, “Satan”. I think it’s that simple.

Let me add my thoughts on this evil force you correctly identify. There is a Biblical curse that comes from spilling innocent blood. I believe this curse comes on the thinking and minds of the murderer and their accomplices.
I believe from the point of taking that innocent life forward, the person is unable to discern good from evil, therefore they can commit and believe in evil acts without a conscience. They can applaud when OJ is found not guilty.
They can vote for a “rock star” for President. They can condone a mosque at Ground 0.
Stop and think about how many ABORTIONS there have been. Let’s say 50 million. For those 50 million women, there had to be 50 million men. Add to these the family, friends, and Medical support people involved and accomplices to the murder, you have at least 50 million more. So here we see a population of baby killers, at the minimum of 150 million. These people are propelled by a curse that exhibits itself in a liberal mental illness and are energized by a evil force, the avenging curse.
The population of the United States is approximately 307 million. Almost one half, 150 million people have been involved in spilling innocent blood. Now does the 50/50 split in voting line up with my theory. In the words of a famous American, “You betcha.”
Can we stop it? Only by bringing these people to Jesus Christ who breaks all curses with His precious blood. Will it happen? Not according to Jesus own words when He said,”As in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the son of man returns. Man will be continually evil in his imaginations.(thought processes)”
But in the end, it wasn't about Mike and Judy, or the other hideous child-molesters I worked with. There was a force moving inside of them, far more lethal than their own.
There were dark forces lurking, reproducing...Barack and Michelle and the men behind the curtain -- and the creepy czars and Pelosi and Schumer -- they are all fueled and propelled by that same unstoppable force.
Evil isn't always content to lurk. When it has the power, it bursts out into public view. History is loaded with accounts of this.
We have once again arrived at such a time. There is again an axis of forces aligning and aligned to seize power and unleash its rage on the world.
It is no coincidence that Obama is the common thread that connects all these separate forces of evil.
He is, indeed, The Unifier.
He is the very personification of all manner of evil...he is Muslim Holy Warrier, Marxist, Alinsky-Luciferian, white-hating/God-hating Black Liberationist, and G-d D@mn America Jeremiah Wright-styled Jew Hater.
On the chess board of life, Satan has at last revealed and exposed his black queen. Because an exposed queen is extremely vulnerable, this can only mean one thing.
The Endgame is at hand!
“The masses are so confused that they see good people (Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann) as bad”
I agree there are far too many “confused” people in this country, but if masses means the majority, I don’t think the “masses” see Sarah and Michele as bad—only those terminally liberal.
I too believe he is truly evil. I would bet there are many more people who think so but are afraid to express it for one reason or another. We have a great fight on our hands.
They can and will be stopped... we can do it the easy way... or the hard way... but we WILL DO IT!

“Now, I think to myself, “Satan”. I think it’s that simple.”
Our own sinful nature and Satan team up to make a deadly duo.
Your Post #7 basically paraphrases what God Himself tells us in His Word, both New & Old Testaments.
Spot on.
I agree, and that is why I pray every night for the Lords help, because we humans do not have a chance against pure evil; we need divine assistance.
When I read your post, I was immediately reminded of John Edwards, the almost VP of the Kerry/Edwards Ticket in 2004. CHARM and CHARISMA were his stock-in-trade and as a tort lawyer he employed them to woo juries and settlements. Becoming a politician they worked equally well to make him a Senator and aim for even higher office. He is one reason that I almost never listen to political speeches and instead read them later and then, maybe, listen to them. That negates all of the acting ability and boils down the effect to the considered word!
Those ‘Coexist’ bumper stickers are a plague.
1) The odds are very short that the ‘Coexister’ is an atheist or an active anti-Christian bigot. Ironically, there is no (widely accepted) symbol for atheism, Darwin badges notwithstanding, so they have to appropriate other symbols to cobble together their muddled message.
2) If the ‘Coexister’ is suggesting Islam is on a par with Christian and Judaism, then they display total ignorance of history both short and long term.
3) If confronted about their cheap, lazy tolerance they would be them most likely to throw a tantrum, screaming and invoking the left’s usual rundown of insults and names.
