I guess I don’t regard them as nice people. Its a veneer. Its phony nice.
“Niceness is an overrated quality. Being nice is how a man pays his way into a party if he hasn’t the guts to be tough or the class to be brilliant.”
— Jonathan Hemlock, “The Eiger Sanction,” by Trevanian
There’s a scene in the musical by Stephen Sondheim sung by the witch:
“You’re so nice.
You’re not good,
You’re not bad,
You’re just nice.
I’m not good,
I’m not nice,
I’m just right.
I’m the Witch.
You’re the world. titled “Into the Woods.” sings these lyrics, “You’re so nice.
You’re not good,
You’re not bad,
You’re just nice.
I’m not good,
I’m not nice,
I’m just right.
I’m the Witch.
You’re the world.”
My sister in law is “nice.” She can’t for against abortion because although she claims to be pro life she wants to be nice to the poor mothers. She claims to have a trans great nephew but won’t confront the horrible facts because it wouldn’t be “nice.” I’m sick of these people.
Niceness is a cool mask for cowardice.
These nice people belong in jail.
O dear Lord, forgive me for being so nasty in my opposition to the “gay” and trans agendas, and to those who steal elections! Amen!
Very good post!
Nice people are not the same as good people.
They aren’t nice.
Those smiles hide an evil heart.
I remember Pat Schroeder on tv.
All smiley, but with a black heart.
Trying to destroy our country.
That is a very worthy and humble testimony.
The people who will vote for a pedo crime family because they “don’t like mean Tweets”.
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. It was ever thus.
Very good piece.
Read Dennis Prager’s commentary on Deuteronomy and why Moses was to pick wise and discerning leaders, with no mention of kind or good being a requirement. That’s because good, kind, and caring people can make terrible decisions with terrible consequences.
EXCELLENT article. Thank you. Posted it on my facebook page, along with some of the comments. Especially like this one: Sorry, these are not “nice” people destroying this nation. Unless their brains are neurologically compromised, people have made choices. A special place is reserved in hell for those who allow children to be harmed and mutilated—whether they are parents, doctors, nurses, teachers, or anyone else responsible for protecting a child.
This is no longer the day and age of 3 television stations and limited media. Everyone who lived through the covid plandemic saw for themselves the lies perpetrated for years and ongoing, related to the manufactured virus, mistreatment of patients, withholding of treatments, coerced “vaccine” injections, the medical and government tyranny resulting in unnecessary deaths. Even mainstream media has admitted many of the “mistakes.”
And after all that, medical monsters willing to defile children’s bodies are somehow to be trusted? Agreeing that a state should take custody of a minor child if parents won’t allow life-altering drugs and surgical procedures?
Those who sacrifice their own children or grandchildren to the Woke religion are not “nice,” they are deliberately ignorant and possessed by evil. I don’t see “nice.” I see monsters pretending to be human.
“Nice people” in this context are people who don’t want anybody to ever get mad at them for anything. Especially anything radical like saying “no” to their excesses.
The road to hell is paved good intentions
Being "charming" is something that I don't trust at all, but the decency and consideration of others is the foundation of the truly American, truly Christian way of life.
So, go soak your head, Mr. Howard Sachs.
Anna Barnhardt said it years ago, as did everyone from the beginning of time..
We gave idiots jobs because we didn’t want to exclude people from the process.
Only smart people should be in charge. When we give idiots jobs guess what happens?
