And that cabal of leftists are still here, still subverting the country, and making Kruschev’s boast come true.

“...get their due...”

Not nearly soon enough, my friend. Not nearly soon enough.

It’s one of those things I’d rather see... so I know there IS some justice in the world.

“It’s one of those things I’d rather see... so I know there IS some justice in the world.”

Well, now THERE’S a proposition: how to SEE ultimate Justice meted out upon the wicked that their evil may meet with a Just punishment, yet not yourself be in such a state that the operation of that same Justice serves upon you their same punishment.

I suppose there may be no end to the argumentative artifices that humans may employ either for or against the several aspects of that question. Nonetheless, I have found that the Christian faith stands alone among all the systems of thought debated among men in offering sane, and satisfying answers to the proposition you articulated.

In Christianity is found a next life wherein Justice is administered perfectly and permanently.
In Christianity is found in that next life a Righteous Judge to be the perfect Administrator of Justice.
In Christianity is found The Way to be, ourselves, spared the punishment that perfect Justice demands: through faith in Jesus Christ Who, Himself, sufficiently nullified our debt by His own death wherein He willingly laid down His life on our behalf.
In Christianity is found the only Savior Who demonstrated His sufficiency to save us all from death by shattering the power of death, itself, in proof of which He took up His own life once again and rose from the dead.
In Christianity is found peace for this life knowing that all evils will be duly recompensed in the next.
In Christianity is found joy in this life knowing that in the next life all things shall be made new.
In Christianity is found grace for today enabling us to live holy before a holy God Who so yearned for our companionship that He laid aside His glory, and became a man subject to all the confines and limitations of human existence so as to forge salvation for our souls.
In Christianity is found hope for tomorrow knowing that in our faith in Jesus Christ we have obtained a Mercy that triumphs over judgement such that upon the administration of the perfect Justice that — at last — condemns forever all evil, we shall be found righteous, and so spared.
And so, finally, in Christianity — and ONLY in Christianity — is found true freedom forever.

A war well-fought among men may win freedom for men in this life for awhile, but only faith in the ultimate Victory of Jesus Christ is sufficient to gain a man True Freedom in the next life forever.

“Whoever The Son sets free is truly free.”
— Jesus Christ

“It is for freedom that Christ has set you free.”
— St. Paul
