Weel-stated! These people deserve no mercy...and as my husband just commented to me...they should be HUNG PUBLICLY. They deserve no honor, nor do they deserve what they believe is justice. Real justice would be public humiliation and hanging.

And here in our own country, there is an ideology that is obsessed with controlling and shaping all of human behavior. We call that ideology by many names such as liberalism or progressivism, but it's more accurately a diseased narcissism whose followers strive to stamp out anyone who doesn't think like them and to control the lives of everyone else.

This is the simplest and clearest explanation of liberalism I have read. Murder is the failure to control by other means. We will see our government begin to kill its citizens when they refuse to be controlled.

Indeed.

When the term “Malignant Narcissist” is used to describe someone, it should send up red flags.

Roger, like most mass killers, had zero empathy, no feelings for anyone but his narcissistic self. It’s ironic that if he had empathy, he’d likely have had a girlfriend (or boyfriend). As most of us have learned, you have to have friends who are girls before you can have a girlfriend. As far as I can tell, he had no friends other than himself.

Very well put. Dean Koontz described it this way - there is no reason for human evil, only excuses. When we see a mad dog - rapid - or any other mad animal, we have no qualms in putting it down. Why do we coodle and excuse human evil?

We have an entire poliitical party guilty of malignant narcissism. It is a plague that threatens the very foundation of civilization. Until its adherents are severely restricted in their ability to pursue their fantasies we will continue to suffer the horror of tyranny.
Make no mistake. Progressivism is one with the great terrors of the last century. Any respect for or tolerance of government control of the citizenry MUST be sharply limited. The Constitution MUST be adhered to rigorously and literally. Federal government MUST be reduced to 10% of its current size.

The left coddles and excuses human evil because their ideology and their basic assumptions about human nature are based in the religion of humanism - that people are basically good and any demonstration of evil behavior is external in origin.

Therefore they think that controlling the environment/society is the way to eliminate evil.

soebarkah has been murdering Americans apace, at least for as long as he’s been in office.

Well put. Progressives are incapable of admitting they harbor any evil. As atheists they not only reject good/evil they also have no means of overcoming evil.
Their solution to problems is to obfuscate. Gun control is a perfect example of diverting attention from the problem.
Liberals cannot accept personal responsibility for their shortcomings. They must deflect blame to an outside agent. They are never held accountable because their actions are always the fault of someone or something outside their influence. They therefor require more and more control to resolve their issues.
Putting more guns in the hands of more people reduces gun crime. When a thug is likely to attack a victim capable of adequate self defense he is more circumspect in his criminal activities. This is precisely the reason violent crime is rampant in communities that prohibit adequate self defense.
The malignancy of progressive attitudes is the greatest evil besetting our nation.

Thanks for the ping. I watch everyone trying to explain everything away and feverishly looking for blame. It has become a detestable thing for those that refuse to see evil as evil.

Those that look into the mirror and refuse to see, commit an even greater act of evil by searching out scapegoats to deflect from their personal blame and false gods. This is where we are at today.

And here in our own country, there is an ideology that is obsessed with controlling and shaping all of human behavior. We call that ideology by many names such as liberalism or progressivism, but it's more accurately a diseased narcissism whose followers strive to stamp out anyone who doesn't think like them and to control the lives of everyone else.

This is one of Daniel Greenfield's most succinct and important essays.

BTTT.
