Labeling several million of our several countrymen as evil is manifestly untrue and such hyperbole devalues the term so as to render it meaningless. There are evil people in the world. Some of them are even Democrats, just as some are Republicans. The Vast majority are not evil, or even bad, they just hold views that are different from most here.

Demonizing those we disagree with is a dangerous path to start down, and there's too much of it from all sides.

In a just world, neighbors could debate and have intellectual arguments and logic would always win, because as the people who founded our government believed, Reason is the voice of God.

But in an unjust world, because I cling to the truth, and will not agree when my neighbor says black is gray, I am hateful,unfeeling, discriminatory.

Worse, if we allows laws which are based on feelings, and not on logic, then we live in tyranny. Such as, if a woman says she feels violated when a man looks at her "funny" she can take him to court for it...and win. Or hate crime legislation, that says one citizens life is of more value than another, and the offender must be punished accordingly.

Were the people of Germany evil, when they voted Hitler into power because they thought he could put bread on their table, and they were willing to overlook injustices that were done to someone else?

I beleive it is unjust for any government to take 70% of a persons income for taxes. That is just a moral issue for me. The dems would scream if our government assessed such an outrageous levy on a single black mother. Is the application of this belief less valid when applied to Bill Gates? The law should not look at people's pocket books, or color or age. The law should just be the law, if it is to have any meaning.

My husband, Lord love him, is a Democrat. He had his eyes opened in the 2000 election, when Bob Graham, Senator from Florida, Chair of the House Comittee on Inteligence, supported Algore's efforts to throw out the votes of sailors on the USS Cole. Find a person who will support that action, and you will be looking evil in the face. Not ignorance, evil.

The people who vote Democratic may or may not be evil, who knows? But the vast majority of the corrupt Democrats who hold office and who promote the un-American socialist agenda and the wholesale slaughter of inncoent life most definitely are evil. You cannot label government sponsored murder of the unborn anything other than what it is. Evil.
