The 'Left' likes evil because everything they believe in is evil. Socialism, state nannies, anti-American views, anti-capital punishment views, high taxes, support for the scum of the earth, and on and on. (You say Liberal or Left to me I think evil.)

Our silly legal system entertains lawsuits against gun manufacturers for crimes committed by evil people. Instead of holding murderers accountable, we shower them with pity because their mama put them in a corner and fed them biscuits with a slingshot.

If the liberals want to be consistent, they should arraign Ma and/or Pa Abuser and throw them into jail with the perp. Instead thyey make excuses for everyone!!!

The left's sympathy for crime is not at all altruistic, it is 100% self-serving. Saddam is a classic Socialist. The left can easily see themselves in his shoes. If they were in charge of a country they would start out as narcissistic do-gooders, like Saddam, and Hillary, then go corrupt.

The writer makes some good points, but I think we do need to recognize due process and show compassion. For centuries, Christian tradition held concern for a condemned man's soul even as he was led to the gallows; compassion and justice went together. Today, post-christian culture seems to have splintered into a secular-liberal half, which gushes compassion for evil with no regard for real justice, and a secular-conservative half, which seeks justice without compassion. I think conservatism still retains far more Christian elements than liberalism, but there is a secular-conservative trend away from showing compassion for fear that it would preclude justice.

They are always more concerned about the criminal than the triumph of good. They seem to have an unswerving predisposition to excuse evil and call good evil. In the end, they are always sympathetic and full of remorse when evil takes it on the chin. They are always there to protect and defend evildoers.

Well, in many cases this is their voter base, thus the power of their party.

If they were to condemn them and their actions, where would they find a large and widely supporting group, as stupid as them, to support their political power base?

The Left believes evil must be better than good... since it hasn't been proven harmful in their eyes - yet.
