The left thinks the state can control evil. This is what they miss:
“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites—in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity;—in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption;—in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon the will and appetite is placed somewhere: and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds can not be free. Their passions forge their fetters.” — Edmund Burke
I find that the left uses that “Burkean” principle. It says that men are of intemperate minds (less control within), and therefore must be controlled (more control from without).
How can evil (the State) control evil in society?
The State is responsible for spouting the Nations’ atheist (with the exception is Islam) tribalism (race classification, definition and division) and they devise and preach the jealous, hateful religious, race and sex doctrines that go with it. If the Pope has his way, they will add class warfare (class coveting and jealously) to the mix.
The American government is corrupt and socialist as Hitler was socialist or Marxist as Stalin was Marxist. Hitler and Marx wanted their ideology to rule the world like America’s government seeks global government in the same dark spirit. They will “progress” to mass murdering an American enemy group in time if we stay on this current course. If this is the end times, they will slaughter Christians and Jews.
In the meantime, they have banned (culturally cleansed) America’s ideology of freedom, God, love, honesty, family, morals, ethics, loyalty, honor, marriage and all the other attributes of America’s Judeo-Christian culture and character that made us good, thoughtful, wealthy, free, peaceful, independent and strong.
Good quote. Some segments of society have the mindset of victim that can do no wrong. Just because someone is a member of the less powerful race, class, socioeconomic level doesn’t give them the right to eschew morality.
Awesome quote. Burke was a genius.
