Those who equate liberals, or Democrats, with evil are, IMHO, operating on the same level as the Nazis

I think you're missing the vital difference between liberal/leftism and conservatism. Liberalism/leftism is based on secular humanism, in which the determination of right and wrong, good and evil, is the human mind. One human mind will of course not be the same as another human mind, so whichever person or group of people has the most power gets to say what is right and what is wrong. Therefore liberalism/leftism always leads to more and more control and ultiamtely to totalitarianism.

True conservatism, as exemplified by the founders of this country, based their concepts of right and wrong on essentail spiritually based morality - the Judeo-Christian foundation. This is theism based absolute vision of right and wrong and in reality transcends sectarianism. Once this is overthrown, as it is being overthrown now, the road leads directly to Stalin, Hitler, etc. The liberal - and libertarian cry of "you can't legalize morality" is nonsense because all law is dealing with moral behavior. What the libs mean is "let me have the kind of sex I want."
