I look at it this way and to date, not one of FR’s/any place elses’ ‘lesser evil’ fanboys will address the issue. They make excuses, but you will never see one answer this.
Evil, in any form is a zero sum entity. It has fixed endpoints. All evil or no evil. When we accept ‘lesser evil’ to get what we want or ‘more of’ what we want, we fill a little more of the evil bucket and remove some from the ‘not evil’ bucket to do it.
For decades now, the GOP and other power brokers on the world stage *as well as fanboys online) insist we keep adding to that evil bucket one little piece at a time to supposedly save us from the ‘greater evil’.
Who made that evil ‘greater’ to begin with?
We did. One drop in the bucket at a time.
So now they argue we have to keep playing the game of incrementalism to postpone the ‘greater evil’ from taking control...while making it ever stronger one vote and incremental capitulation at a time.
Now if one of the fanboys out there wishes to dispute that rock solid logic without namecalling or excuses, please, feel free to do it. Good luck trying.
Could you elaborate specifically what you mean by this?
WANT.
The key to the Bible story of the battle(court) between God and Satan(Lucifer).
We have 'free will'. We can choose good or evil.
Lucifer told God that only his 'interference' in man's affairs forced man to worship God. Lucifer said without the interference, man would turn to something (someone) else.
God gives man what he needs. Lucifer offered man what he 'wants'. Guess what 'man' chooses most?
Similarly, The TEMPTATION scene between Jesus and the Devil(the 'what I want' part of Jesus) was Jesus trying to tell us that we will each have to deal with the same TEMPTATION.
When we choose what we want over what we need, we are 'worshipping' the devil , we are committing 'evil'.
I think that we're on the same track, and what I'm saying may be redundant, but I think it's important enough to repeat.
All the 'evil' in the world is found in one place, and one place only. Inside us. If we let it rule over the good in us, we become (dominated by) evil.
Ghaddafi was offered all he could see, if he would let evil desires rule his soul, and he did. Many have, many are doing it right now. Most of them are our elected leaders.
