The Modern Campus Cannot Comprehend Evil

Sure it can. Evil is white male conservatives and Republicans.

Without reading the piece, I can point to evil here at home.

In a heartbeat, I could name a dozen high ranking and elected Democrats that are genuinely evil. Not simply bad, selfish or power hungry; but much more: real evil.

Where does that leave us with the evil outside?

I find it amazing that colleges and universities encourage uncommitted sex and hookups during freshman orientation, and constantly thereafter, and then purport to be shocked about the results.

I don't think I would like Camille as a friend, but I respect her and could talk with her in a civil and friendly manner. She is one of the rare liberals who understands logic. We don't normally reach the same conclusions, but she actually thinks as she reaches her conclusions.

Obama is the opposite. I would refuse to even attempt to communicate with him. I would have no chance of convincing him to support the Constitution or any form of freedom, especially with facts because he doesn't care about them, and a real conversation might help him to frame his totalitarian position in an even more damaging manner.

Love Camille, but she needs to wake up to Islam. She’s still asleep.

She failed to put the blame for this on moms who do not properly educate their daughters or dads who do not warn with sufficient force.

But in all, she’s right.

It’s like taking children year after year to festivals and getting their faces painted then lapsing into shock when they come home one day covered with tattoos.

A dark and insightful piece. The world is a wonderful place, until it isn’t.

Those who embrace evil think that evil is good.

And literally telling the incoming freshmen that mom and dad are no longer there to tell them no.

You forgot the Tea Party - pure villains.

FReepers too. And don't forget Rush Limbaugh and the Koch brothers.

A liberal with a shred of logic will take a lifetime to reach a logical conclusion...

Most have none so they will never reach a conclusion...

Camile is very old... she must have a at least a shred...

Well, they can and do contemplate evil, they just can’t imagine it in any other vessel than a white, Christian, male.

Liberalism lacks a profound sense of evil ...

I would say:

Liberalism misplaced sense of evil.

Their 'evil' is anything or anyone who protects them from real 'evil'...............

... and women who stay home to take care of their babies, and conservatives who decide to live past the age of 75.

Just barely.

She seems to be OK with Jihadis.
