For the last eight years, the Left labeled George W. Bush evil. I found this amusing since many doing the lecturing viewed any judgment or condemnation of nearly anything to be unacceptable, as only a post-modernist can. Radical Islam? Not evil. Using human shields? Not evil. Saddam Hussein? Not evil. The Axis of Evil? Not evil. However....Bush? Evil. Cheney? Evil? Haliburton? Evil.
You get the idea. The notion that George Bush was "evil" was so preposterous, such over-the-top nonsense that it hardly deserved any attention--except that it was everywhere. A person couldn't escape mention of his soulless nature. By maligning President Bush so, true evil was obscured and diminished. Labeling President Bush minimized the horrors many people have endured by true evil tyrants.
Along comes Barack Obama, The One, deified by the press and elevated by followers in all his beatific magnificence. The Left needed a devil now they made their god.
Well. Some are seeing evil in the sparkly-eyed one. Is Barack Obama evil? Personally, this polarizing language irritates me. Barack Obama isn't evil. He's misguided. He is so convinced of his own rightness that he is pursuing absolutely devastating policies that are sure to harm and he pursues them with frenzied abandon.
The fact is, it's a rare socialist/statist who starts with evil intent. In fact, many start with pure intentions. Crafting a more noble society, making a better world, and doing all sorts of things that will force utopia on ignorant, and otherwise unwilling miscreants.
Obama's not evil. He's flawed. And his ideology is wrong. And it's bad enough that it needs to be stopped. No need to resort to moralistic harping to vilify the man.
I have never called a president evil....until now. The author of this article admonishes us not to "resort to moralistic harping." She's telling us not to discern good and evil....a notion I totally reject. Such thinking can lead us to cattle right into railcars.
Anyway, I leave the article for discussion. I'm just the messenger.
Does it matter? He’s certainly in service of evil.
He may not be the anti-Christ, but I think he’s preparing the way for him (such as John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus).
Yes!
...and he is going about making that happen as quickly as he and his complicit Senate and Houser can accomplish it.

Yes, Barack Hussein Obama is evil.
He is evil.
No, he is not misguided.
He knows exactly what he is doing and he is an evil, evil madman.
He exemplifies the banality of evil.
I can't judge his soul, but his actions are certainly evil.
Anyone who thinks that individuals must pay themselves for the consequences of their own sexual activity is evil. It’s really not much more complex than that.
Perhaps he’s simply an a$$hole. Come on…
Does this matter? Is this narrative republican emotional base candy like democrats use Rush to get their base stirred up? BoB as evil is the LAST message that would sell right now. I would rather republicans talk about Obama’s dishonesty (which is easy to show in clips) and let the general voters figure out his motives for themselves. Evil is usually very subjective anyway outside of great movies like Lord of Rings. American communists in 1930s really believed the most would benefit in world from a Stalin like governmentm they believed Stain would bring Heaven on earth. One man’s evil is another mans good.
BO is certainly an agent of the devil. In my opinion he is absolutely evil.
He is evil. He has paraded himself as a messiah, and he is a false messiah. And some within the body of the Christian community have fallen for him as messiah.
He is not a moron. He is not misguided. He is not a fool, idiot, or dimwit.
He is an ideologist practicing his ideology just as he announced he would.
It is 1938. We’ve just read his Mein Kampf. What are we gonna do?
I believe Obama is an evil-doer.
AN agent--one, but not the only one.
I guess you'd have to read the article to find she agrees with you.
Is Bill Clinton a lying pervert?
