The battle between “good” and “evil” has, of course, been going on for as long as man has populated this globe, and it will never cease. Humans have never even fully agreed on what IS good and what IS evil; to Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, and abortionists, killing millions of innocent human beings to achieve some utterly unattainable “utopia” is a “good” thing. Democrats believe that butchering children for sexual purposes is “good,” while to God-respecting people it is a horrid abomination. Humans will never end this war between “good” and “evil” because we will never agree on what either of them truly is.
When “every man does that which is right in his own eyes”—the basic moral code a Leftist lives by—then obviously “evil” is only in the eyes of the beholder. As the Left has accepted the atheistic, naturalistic, ever-evolving universe of no absolutes, they have applied that to morality, too. It is quite clear to all of us that moral “standards” in America have changed over the past few decades—“progressed,” according to the Left, “degenerated,” in the eyes of traditional, Judeo-Christian believing Americans. “Good” vs. “evil” is perhaps the primary debate going on in America today.
Doing the right thing isn’t difficult. Or at least, knowing what the right thing is. But again, that depends upon the standard one uses to define “the right thing.” All Americans used to know what “virtue” was, and our Founding Fathers constantly reminded us that a republic needs a virtuous citizenship in order to succeed and prosper. But “if every man does that which is right in his own eyes,” then every man gets to define virtue for himself. So, again, there is no longer any agreement on what produces a successful nation.
I’m not buying that, not for a moment.
God told us what the “right thing” is, and politicians should follow it and point the people in that direction. True leaders will do that. But when the country’s leadership becomes as dishonorable as half its population, then we can expect little help from on top.
It is absolutely essential to understand that the Left, the Democratic Party, does not want a “virtuous” society, in the traditional, true, godly sense of that word. A virtuous people won’t need politicians very much. ‘If all men were angels, we wouldn’t need government,’ James Madison said. And being “wanted” and “needed”—and having power over others—is a temptation that almost no politician can resist, especially a Leftist. So, it’s in their interest to confuse the masses, miseducated them, and stir up as many crises and as much chaos as possible so government—they—can step in and provide the “solutions,” i.e., create more power for themselves.
A jungle, if not constantly pruned and culled, will grow with no restraint. We have an area, surrounding the condo complex in which I live in Thailand, bursting with lush flora and fauna, and if management doesn’t continually keep it cut back, it would be climbing our walls and entering our rooms in no time. That’s the nature of a jungle. It knows, and wants, no restrictions or boundaries.
That is exactly what the Democratic Party is propagating in America right now—a jungle, an unrestrained growth of, in this case, uninhibited savage and licentious behavior. They want that until they gain totalitarian power. Then, as in the USSR and Mao’s China, etc., the totalitarians will step in and keep the “jungle” under their control. China is a very orderly society today; the CCP killed all their opponents and now the people are totally cowed into submission. Unrestrained evil like in America’s Democratic Party-run cities, unrestricted promiscuity, utter abandonment of traditional family values and virtue—what will this produce? Chaos. A moral jungle. The need for totalitarian government to set things in order. The Left in America knows exactly what it is doing because it is the pattern of just about every communist dictatorship last century. But in America, the enemy is conservatives, not peasants.
Our system, thankfully, at times does work to protect the innocent, but, folks, “evil” always has one advantage over “good” because “good” has limitations on what it can do. It must operate by certain high moral standards, while evil has no standards at all. And when “the good” resorts to doing what “evil” does, then evil wins because such makes “good” no better than the evil it is trying to defeat.
The jungle knows or recognizes no law but the unrestrained will to conquer anything that gets in its way. It will eat you if you try to play by its rules. If we live by the jungle’s rules, if the Left wins, if they convince enough Americans that “evil” is “good” and “good” is “evil,” if we come to believe that “reproductive freedom” is just another name for selfish unrestrained sexual licentiousness that has no consequences—if we let the Left euphemistically define our morality and virtue, we might as well forget about having a free society ruled by moral law. But, as one historian said, “Civilization is an occasional and temporary interruption of the jungle.”
It’s a battle we are fighting between good and evil, between the jungle and civilization, and yeah, sometimes we must fight with one hand tied behind our back lest we become uncivilized jungle savages like those we are trying to prevent taking over our country.
There will always be barbarians at the walls. The battle between good and evil will never end, will never be completely won. Not while this earth exists. That’s just history.
We’re trying to stop the jungle’s progress in America, and to change our country back to the virtuous republic it was meant to be. But with half the country already converted, committed to evil, and swinging from the trees, victory is far from assured.
