Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- “‘Evil’ is a make-believe concept we’ve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans” ~ Liberal Mantra
Who believe that twisted logic, (1) don’t “get out” much, and (2) needn’t imagine they’ll die of old age.
Those of us who have seen evil, at close range, know how “real” it is, and we’re all too familiar with the way it turns men into monsters.
We also know and understand that evil must be bravely confronted, and those evil men must be challenged and constrained.
Good and righteous men behave according to an absolute and unchanging moral standard. What’s right is right, and what’s wrong is wrong. The difference between good and evil and between right and wrong are givens, not “topics,” subject to rationalization nor justification, and a man should know the difference.
Good men do, and good men are always prepared to act!
Unfortunately, the liberal mind is invariably ambivalent in the face of evil. Liberals cannot bring themselves to confront evil honestly, because personal vanity makes it impossible for them to recognize their own defects. So, they predictably falter, blame others, make excuses for themselves, and whine, but never take personal responsibility, never lead, never prepare, and never fight.
And, vanity makes them insist that no one is allowed to resist evil in any effective way.
“No greater wrong can ever be done than to put a good man at the mercy of a bad man while insisting the good man not defend himself, nor his fellows. In no other way can the success of evil be made surer, nor quicker.” ~ TR
Evil men may not be dissuaded from their malevolent deeds by reasoned argument, but they can be “corrected” by good men, who are armed, competent, and audacious.
“It is not our part to master the tides, but to do what is in us, during those years wherein we are set, to uproot evil in the fields, so those who come after may have clean earth to till.
What weather shall greet them while so doing is not ours to influence, nor even know!” ~ Operator’s Axiom

Evil is inappropriate predation. Predators do not hold back because you reason with them. They hold back because you beat them when they attacked you or are afraid you will kill or inflict more damage than taking you is worth. Occasionally a smart predator will recognized that certain behavior is inappropriate and stop because they value good. For example, there is the story of a tribe that gave up cannibalism because they were told it was uncivilized and they valued civilization. However, others will only cease evil behavior if they are stopped by force or fear of force. A smart… Read more »
If one can set aside the “obligatory athesim/agnosticism” of today’s age, and look at the issue of evil from a Two Kingdom view, The HOLY Bible is a record of the history, good vs evil. The New Testament lays out the tools and methodology of conquering evil. If the battle is not done “In the Spirit” then we are forced to fight in the natural.
To them who believe…
True evil lurks around us every day. My wife works in psych, for children. These children are abused both physically and emotionally by parents, caretakers, and predatory adults. Both physical and emotional abuse. She shared a story with me about a patient, born to two degenerate parents, who found his infant brother dead between sofa cushions. Let me say that again – a young child was the first to find his infant brother dead. That’s evil. In the inner city another kid was held up at gun point on his way to school. That’s evil. Real evil are the catholic… Read more »
Yepper…great article. Should be plastered all over the ‘BOOB’ tube! Any chance?? Yea,I know. Still,a good idea.
The observations in this article are so true. People are raising up a generation that can’t define evil and even denies it exists.
Want to watch some man on the street interviews with young people on this subject: https://youtu.be/5G5KW8AtLjY
The clip also has the solution to mass shootings. Hint: it’s not gun control.
So, when Jay Austin’s misguided words that he wrote in Morocco before he went on his trip to Tajikistan, where he was murdered, somehow became a liberal mantra? It’s more accurately a Darwin moment…
Do we need to make stuff up? Seriously? There are real mantras out there. Pick one.
Then do the work and attribute it accurately.
The fool has already paid for his naivete.
I do not know the source for this quote but here goes:
“The greatest trick the Devil played on humans is convincing them he doesn’t exist”
Paul Harvey
That principle was a theme in C.S. Lewis’ “The Screwtape Letters. I believe Paul Harvey borrowed it; regardless of the origin, it remains axiomatic.
I love this article! Evil hides (and sometimes not) behind many faces and names. Today those names are: Socialism, Democratic Socialism, Communism, Abortion, Radical Islam, Deep State/Hidden Gov’t, Anti-Christianity/Anti-Semitism and Anti-Americanism.
“Unfortunately, the liberal mind is invariably ambivalent in the face of evil”.
“The extreme liberal mind is evil’s child”
EXAMPLE…
A child wants a piece of candy before dinner…
Liberal: You may have one before dinner.
Extreme Liberal: Sure, have as much as you want for dinner.
Conservative :Do you think it best to have one after dinner?
