"You can't fight evil with evil"
July 17, 2012 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 07/17/2012 3:30:32 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

As Alan Keyes wrote the other day, you cannot fight evil with evil.

If you haven't read it, do yourself a favor:

A Choice Between Satan and Beelzebub (FR thread)

Brief excerpt:

I grieve deeply as I contemplate the fact that millions of Americans are letting themselves be caught in this diabolical snare. As I tried to point out in 2008, the lesser of evils is still evil. No matter how such an election turns out, people content to choose between Satan and Beelzebub have made clear their willingness to let things go to hell. Moreover, the nature of their choice is so clear to them that they practically boast of the passionate hatred that impels them to it. With this practical boast they become the willing, proud accomplices of the very evil they profess to hate.

I’m morally certain this is why Christ admonished his disciples to make striving for God’s perfection the standard for their actions, rather than their hatred of evil. He thought it better to fail reaching for this standard than succeed by abandoning one’s life to the devil’s dominion. He thought it better to fail in the world’s eyes while commending one’s spirit to God (as he does on the cross) than succeed by casting one’s lot with God’s adversary.

--Alan Keyes

A man who for over 30 years of his adult life by his own admission justified the wholesale slaughter of innocent and helpless human life is purely evil and can and did justify anything. Many times.

Romney's entire political life has been a mis-adventure into godless liberal/progressive evil. There can be no denying that he has during his tenure either advocated for or personally enacted nearly the entire godless liberal/progressive agenda. He has succeeded where the Democrats have failed and he has shown them the way. His record of evil leftist doings, rationalizing, justifying, flip-flopping and mealy-mouthed parsing and spinning (lying) precedes him and tells the tale of the man. He has no foundation. No core principles. No Christian values. No moral compass. If ever a man was a godless liberal in the GOP, he is Myth Romney.

If the Republican conservatives in office or in leadership positions or in the so-called conservative media would simply stop rooting for this evil bastard and commit to the TRUTH and stand tall for Life and Liberty now and at the convention, we could chuck this liberal bastard onto the ash heap of history and run a pro-life, pro-liberty, pro-small government conservative Republican that we can all be proud to support over the Marxist usurper. And we would WIN in a Reaganesque landslide!!

Perversely, Romney is just about the only Republican who may actually lose to Obama. Hell, even McCain beat Romney.

Taking the right path is not easy and not popular at this time, but it's the only path.

May we stand on God's side while attempting to save our Republic!!

LOL! It’s kinda fun watching a guy tear down his own house. FR has no reason to exist anymore except as a little circle-jerk club on the net for a guy and his self-righteous zealot buddies.

Don’t bother - I’ll ZOT myself.

“and he obviously does not hate America. “

Anyone who signs a permanent gun ban is an enemy of America.
Romney did just that.
Obamacare is the same thing as Romneycare, just nationwide.
Mittens gave Massachussetts homosexual marriage.
Funny, the Founders had lots to say about homosexuals.
He also saw nothing wrong with TARP, or bigger more expansive government, which is an enemy of the very people.

The really bizarre thing about Obama is no matter how bad he is he can still count on around 50% of the popular vote. He has garnered that constituency by siezing authority (and money) from the other, non-supportive half and distributing it to the supportive half.

And he did it by bending & breaking the rules.

One more term of vote buying and I believe there really will be no turning back, ever.

Let conservatives in blue states make the statement by voting Constitution Party or writing in Palin. But a split vote in swing states is Obama's fondest wish.

Marxist? He’s a godless liberal progressive. An abortionist/homosexualist, big government, mandate loving, liberty hating statist/socialist. He advocates for and has enacted the same damn godless liberal agenda that Obama has. In fact, Obama credits Romney for opening the door to homo marriage, homos in the military and socialized healthcare which, until Romney got it all done in Massachustts, they (the Democrats) had failed to accomplish.

Screw Romney!! Never in a million years would I vote for that Marxist enabling, baby murdering, homo pushing, socialist/statist bastard!!

I love my God, my country, my family and my Liberty too much to install the enemy within as our president!!

We’ll fight Obama to the bitter end. The idiot RINO Republicans will follow Romney straight off the cliff to the pits of socialist hell!!

I’m not voting for the lesser of two evils. I’m proudly voting for, (and contributing to) Romney.

Wow. It's not often you see a Romney Republican admit that Mitt is worse than Obama.

I envy your innocence on this point ...

Really? Are you sure that it's my "innocence" that you envy? Or perhaps some other qualities that you lack?

You've made up your mind to roll over, which makes your screen name a sad joke. You reflexively spin negative and forecast negative on every argument that supports rejecting Romney and braving the consequences, and you insist that the only cure is to knowingly vote FOR a depraved agent of liberal tyranny -- and you say I'm the one indulging in fantasy.

You continue the drumbeat of hysteria, though you couch in in calm-sounding language; it's still hysteria.

Yes, you've made your points before, and they're just as bereft now as they were the first time you made them.

"The idea that the strategy to “deprive whichever evil wins of a popular mandate” might be wonderful fantasy, but in reality a One Vote Win by Obama will be treated as a Popular Mandate."

Well put! Do they think Obama had a "mandate" for Obamacare? Of course not! Do these people think Obama the tyrant is going to give a crap about his lack of a mandate? He will simply declare his mandate on anything he wants. Wake up!

You know, tumblin, I wish you’d just say what you mean to say. Lately, your posts have been so cryptic that it’s hard to determine whether you’re agreeing or disagreeing with Jim Robinson.

Repeating falsehoods does not change reality.

Romney did not ban guns in Massachusetts. I know because I used to live there and I did not have to give mine up.

Obamacare is not Romneycare. Romney will work to overturn it, and yes, I believe him. The alternative is guaranteed: permanent Federal control.

Gay marriage is and should be a state issue. Massachusetts is 80% liberal Democrat. That's their problem. Romney has shown no inclination to attempt to make it a Federal matter.

Romney was wrong about TARP, as were a fair number of Republicans, and he admits that now. But he absolutely rejects the kind of massive government control over the economy that Obama will certainly impose if he is re-elected.

I am uncertain about Romney in some respects. I have no doubt about Obama. The man is evil.

Picking from two evils is not what I really wanted.
As much as I don’t want Romney, Obama would be a worse choice. Another four years of the Kenyan would be a disaster. I know that Romney is not what I want either, but one of those two socialists is all there is.
I will vote against any RINO or liberal and I will vote against Obama. With luck ridding ourselves of RINOs will scare Romney into a little conservativeness out of self preservation.

Gay marriage is and should be a state issue.

Actually it's a question of the natural moral law, which is the basis of the free republic we call home.

And whether you fear God enough to be afraid to "normalize" what He calls an abomination.

“Repeating falsehoods does not change reality.”

Funny, 2004 or so he did sign a permanent “Assault weapon ban” into Mass state law.
That is not false.
But hey, if you want to claim it is, be my guest.

“I know because I used to live there and I did not have to give mine up.”

LOL, do you think anyone with brains would have given their up?

http://www.ontheissues.org/2012/Mitt_Romney_Gun_Control.htm

He backs gun bans and most certainly did sign a permanent gun ban on so called “assault weapons”.

Oopsies for you, a thread from FR about it.

Jim,

This is the thread I needed to see!

YOU have finally given those of us confused about what to do, a final direction.

If I read this right...the plan is to reject Romney and pray that enough voters will reject Obama and give us enough conservative congress members to cancel out his agenda AND possibly repeal Obamney care! If nothing else give us enough power to throw out the weak GOPe leaders.

If this is the plan, it may be a long shot but not impossible.

Am I reading this right?
