We're Not Battling Craziness. We're Battling Evil.
By Trevor Thomas

Ever since the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States, the American left has been – as my mother likes to put it – in "rare form."  Such "form" these last two years has resulted in obscene fits by individual leftists and, yes, liberal mobs.  Someone should ask these petulant, angry leftists – as did my mother when she encountered a tantrum (usually from a child): do you get a fever with those fits?

The answer is no, because – in spite of what many have implied as they've witnessed the rage, violence, and vulgarities so often employed by today's liberals – we're not dealing with sickness or mere lunacy, craziness, stupidity, or even the deranged.  These characterizations are tempting – I've used them myself – and often accurate, but they fail to describe best what we are dealing with.

As Selwyn Duke alluded to recently, and others noted more directly years ago, modern liberalism – aided and abetted by the Democratic Party – is a dastardly tool of the enemy of all mankind.  It's like a modern-day Mephistopheles luring hordes of Faustian fools with promises of worldly pleasure – especially sex – and perpetual provision from a paternalistic, godless nanny state.  Such dark pursuits consume their personal lives and thus their politics as well.  This is what results when one makes a god of government.

When you consider all the left stands for, or more specifically what they stand against, and what the inevitable effects of what they advocate always are, its tough to deny that either knowingly or unknowingly they are in service of Ol' Scratch.

Especially when they have idiots that are actually doing witchcraft spells and voodoo against Trump and the GOP.   When you also take into account all those that are for murdering innocent life in the womb while preserving convicted murderer's lives.... yeah.  I'd have to say they knowingly and willingly are tools of Satan.

So basically, you're saying stop voting.  How, exactly, will that solve anything?

...so you can feel 'safe' spouting, "...it's not my rodeo...I didn't vote for that?"

Sad thing...you think this absolves you from any blame if the Left should win.  Your attitude seems to be, 'If you would have listened to me and put my guy at the top, he would win.'   ...as if you were some political Sage or something.    :shrug:

And it has been THREE YEARS since "The Escalator Ride that Changed the World".

....and you haven't been right on a single thing regarding the Trump Agenda.

But aren't we talking about fighting evil via voting in elections?  If not, I'm confused.  What other methods do we have in this country than voting?  And if you simply abstain from voting....

doesn't evil win every time (...ie when good men do nothing, etc.).

Bugs you when the 'moral high ground' is the truth, and the 'talking points' are facts, doesn't it?

Why don't you try arguing against morality (which is apparently where you stand)  instead of just calling the people who believe in morality filthy names?

You might find yourself refreshed, and your (mindless) anger abating.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Once again, using morality against the ones who still believe in it.

A weak argument at best, skeeter.

Who EXACTLY is doing nothing? The people fighting for moral right, federalism, castrated federal government, individual responsibility, and etc...

Or those who call liberalism 'conservative', and make pointless gains which really don't change a damn thing? All in the name of 'winning'. Sheesh.  *****rollingeyes*****

Another brilliant retort to a legitimate question.  **nononono*

Par for the course for one who uses his 'energy' to bash those who believe in the Constitution and a moral society.

How dare he say such a thing!  Obviously this guy is a holier-than-thou self-righteous arsehole that needs to be excoriated, ridiculed and banned for insulting everyone and cramming his religion down everyone's throats and saying he is better than everyone else!

/sarc - for those too dull to grasp the jab.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
