Evil is as evil does

Evil is as evil does

"For many (though certainly not all) Republicans, the root of knowledge is a bedrock certainty about the inerrancy of a literal reading of the Bible. This provides them with clear, absolute answers – that gay marriage is wrong, that modern science is suspect, and that much of what we see on earth is a struggle between good and evil."
I don't believe the belief in Good and Evil requires the view that the bible is absolute and literal.

For example, Obama is evil and his journalistic supporters are evil. They are attempting to enslave all of us in a dictatorship of the philosopher king of progressivism.

The bible provides the backdrop but the echo of the Hunger Games, reminds us that men can be evil, and politicians are most prone to grasping undeserved power

Obama is the prince of lies and is an image of the anti-christ rather than the Christ.

"Many Democrats have taken this broad lesson of concern for the poor to heart, as we all do with core messages of faith. That quiet wind is always there.

This gets us to gridlock because it puts Democrats in the position of class warriors – they favor the poor and disfavor the rich.

This is most clear in framing tax policy, which is at the heart of the gridlock we have seen around how to avoid the fiscal cliff. At times, the Democrats' certainty on these issues is the equal of what we see in Republicans.

So we end up in a deadlock. Now, we hear, that gridlock may be breaking up a bit.

On one side, the certainty is less certain as the "no increase in taxes" pledge is abandoned by some. On the other, there is an openness to cutting government spending."

My main concern with democrats is the view that if they try to do the good thing they should get the credit regardless of outcome. This writer is obviously in that camp. The core message of my faith is helping others. You need to be careful you are helping. Too many do gooders are undiscerning, and hurt rather than help. And you need to focus on the individual. Government can't do that. And they are impoverishing the individual so he can't.

A further problem is the individual that desires to do good is duped by those who are truly evil. Attempting to tell truth is often more complicated than a artful lie. It is up to the do gooder to be alert to prevent this.
