Because evil changes people; it wipes out what makes them uniquely human; it turns them into something completely different, unrecognizable, alien.

Democrats?

North Carolina recently passed the Anti-Bullying Law mostly for our schools. I see court cases, lots of them. An economic stimulus for our judicial industry...

When an actress calls for gang raping Palin, she's a sadist. When people torch Palin's church with children inside, they are sadists. When bloggers call her a c___t and scorn her disabled son, they are being sadists.

Evil, unacknowledged and unrecognized, takes root and becomes a virus so virulent, it threatens everyone whom it touches. Because evil changes people; it wipes out what makes them uniquely human; it turns them into something completely different, unrecognizable, alien.

This type of analysis reminds more of two things from literature, one more classical:

"the devil's best trick is to persuade you that he doesn't exist!" - Baudelaire

And, from a more current view, the Raymond Feist fantasy novels, where the protagonists muse about the nature of evil, and wonder why anyone would willingly serve such a destructive force. Their only conclusion is that evil is insane, and those following it do not comprehend the destructiveness of their own choices because they themselves are no longer capable of understanding them.

"If it is so rare to be born a human being, how come there are so many people in the world?" His friend ponders the question silently for several seconds. Then he looks at Needleman and responds quietly, "How many human beings do you see?" I look around each day and ask myself the same question, "Where are the human beings?" I see fewer and fewer each day.

A friend from Russia noticed the degradation of American society. She explained that Russia needed so many harsh laws because the people had become worse. And that it was starting to happen here. If there are too many "peter pans - who won't grow up" and an abundance of people stirring the pot for sadistic control - there won't be enough laws to make our world safe from each other.

Interesting article

This whole scene reminds me of Stephen King’s book “The Stand”- a battle between good and evil, where good people were hated and feared because they saw through the evil and refused to back down or succumb

Just WOW!

I loved this last part of her article-

I look around each day and ask myself the same question, "Where are the human beings?" I see fewer and fewer each day. But there's a shining example in Alaska of a woman who maintained her integrity in the midst of cruelty that would have crushed many of us; who never descended to the level of the thugs; and who exits the scene with something that the sadists will never have, not even in their dreams -- her humanity.

I have never felt as heavy in my heart and mind, as I do today, reflecting upon the deep and truly horrific wounds uhbama and his cabal are inflicting upon our nation.

I can not hide my head in the sand and pretend our nation can withstand this for three + more years.

And I resent the 'saul alinsky' described agitation and vexation, whatever, that I feel as result of that creepy half black man in our White House and the genuine filth that he has chosen to advise and direct our nation.

I do not want uhbama's vision to destroy our nation.

What can we do?
