Can You Recognize Evil?

[PoliticalChic]

1. According to the dictionary, 'recognize' means "to identify from knowledge of appearance or characteristics"



But there is a world of difference between 'appearance' and 'characteristics,' and it is the highest of errors to believe that vision is the operative sense that helps recognize evil.

versus this......

Barack Obama, in addition to slowing the rise of the oceans, also made the world a safer place to be by funding the world’s worst state sponsor of terrorism while not restricting their ballistic missile program and, at the same time, supporting Hezbollah.
The big question about Hussein Obama was always was he Sunni or Shia…and with the Iran deal, we got answer.

Barack Obama was ushering in the age of the ‘Iranian Nuclear Bomb’ and fueling Iran’s war machine.




2. It is the rational ability, combined with character and values, that are the requirement for recognizing evil....and perhaps the absence of same explains why so many fail to recognize (coughBillClinton)....it when they 'see' it.




3. "...Harry Truman was able to chat at Potsdam with Joseph Stalin, one of the monsters of the world, and sit next to him for hours....and come away confiding in his diary that Stalin was a 'fellow I can work with, though tough as hell."
Lance Morrow, "Evil: An Investigation,"p.31

Potsdam Conference was from July to August, 1945.

But....realization seems to have sunk in:


"President Harry S. Truman signed United States Executive Order 9835, sometimes known as the "Loyalty Order", on March 22, 1947.[1] The order established the first general loyalty program in the United States, designed to root out communist influence in the U.S. federal government. Truman aimed to rally public opinion behind his Cold War policies with investigations conducted under its authority. He also hoped to quiet right-wing critics who accused Democrats of being soft on communism."
Executive Order 9835 - Wikipedia






Of course, no victory is perpetual, as one can see in the doctrines of the major party.
It is way beyond "Democrats of being soft on communism."

The Democrat Party has morphed into one that follows the doctrines and dictates of the Communist Party.




Answer this question: on the political spectrum, is today’s Democrat Party closer to John F. Kennedy, or Lee Harvey Oswald?

The Democratic Party is destroying itself and its donor base so I think you are not only beating a dead horse but one that is in the process of being buried.

Obama was like a one man wrecking crew of his own party....and he is still at it with his blatant obvious coup attempt.....he really must be the most well spoken dumb shit on the planet....

"Obama was like a one man wrecking crew of his own party..."


You've got a darn good point there.....


"His presidency will end with Democrats in possession of 11 fewer Senate seats (depending on how you count), more than 60 fewer House seats, at least 14 fewer governorships and more than 900 fewer seats in state legislatures than when it began. That’s a staggering toll." http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/o...est&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection&_r=0


"Democrats suffered a greater loss of power during Obama’s tenure than under any other two-term president since World War II." Obama returns to political fray for a Democratic Party cause


"BOMBSHELL: Former DNC Head Admits Obama Cleaned Out The Party, Hillary Stole It, Bernie Got Robbed According to Brazile, Obama “left the party $24 million in debt” – hey, sort of like the country! " BOMBSHELL: Former DNC Head Admits Obama Cleaned Out The Party, Hillary Stole It, Bernie Got Robbed



....yet they still seem unable to recognize evil.

4. Truman began his tenure in Washington on the same page as FDR…..pro-Soviet Union. But he looked at the facts……and proved he could recognize evil.

How about the personification of the Democrat Party???

Did Roosevelt recognize evil?


When we review Roosevelt's administration, there appears an interesting dichotomy.

Let's assume that FDR recognized how truly evil Marxism was...


a. Roosevelt knew of the Katyn Forest Massacre, the discovery of twenty-two thousand corpses of Polish officers of shot, bayoneted, and asphyxiated Polish officers were uncovered in the Katyn pine forest near Smolensk, Russia, executed by the NKVD when the Soviets held the territory, spring of 1940.


b. In a letter to FDR, dated January 29, 1943, Wm.Bullitt warned Roosevelt about what would happen if he continued pursuing the policies of appeasement toward Stalin that formed the foundation of the American war strategy. He pleaded with FDR not to 'permit our war to prevent Nazi domination of Europe to be turned into a war to establish Soviet domination of Europe.' He predicted the Soviet annexation of half of Europe; George Kennan identified that letter as the earliest warning of what would be the result of FDR's policies.
"For the President Personal & Secret: Correspondence Between Franklin D. Roosevelt and William C. Bullitt," Orville H. Bullitt, p. 575-590

c..... the Ukrainian Terror Famine, the blood purges, and assorted atrocities, violence against religion....

Yet, FDR lied to the American public as to the evil nature of Bolshevism.

What was the reason that Franklin Roosevelt was willing to .....overlook ....Stalin's 'domestic arrangements' ?



There is only one answer.

 

[william the wie]

His bosses in the Chicago and Boston mobs told him what to do?

You wanna know why FDR behaved as he did????


He wanted to swim the the other sharks....Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini.
No matter what they did, he refused to recognize same as evil.....

Here is FDR singing to his wannabe-pals:

 

[william the wie]

Well he was not a Brainiac by anyone's standards and he simply bought his first and third election as president in Chicago conventions. Then there was the matter that his wife and vice president were so openly communist that he had to go with Truman.

Shall we remind all that FDR insisted on communist Henry Wallace as his VP or he would not run?

"Even with FDR’s endorsement (and his threat to withdraw from the presidential race if Wallace were not chosen by the Democratic convention), Wallace won by only 628 to 459 against (chiefly) Speaker William Bankhead (actress Tallulah Bankhead’s father). Wallace was not allowed to give an acceptance speech. He had been under the influence of a White Russian mystic agronomist, Nicholas Roerich, and the Republicans got hold of correspondence between them that, as Roosevelt biographer Kenneth Davis wrote, “called into question [Wallace’s] mental and emotional stability.”

5. Sometimes it's difficult to attach the term 'evil' to a situation....or not.


How about this:

a. “I was a rifleman toward the end of the war, and my squad was moving out in advance of the American lines–in a no-man’s-land. We came to a small river, and we captured eight Germans there. They were little more than kids, 16 or 17 years old. We had a dilemma. We were very far from our lines. We couldn’t take them prisoner and bring them back to our own people. The country was too dangerous, and we had our assignment. And we could not let them go.


We made them turn their back and face the river. Then we went down the row and shot each of them in the back of the head… Funny, they were so obedient. Germans! They just stood there in the line and waited their turn to be shot.”
Lance Morrow, "Evil: An Investigation," p. 74-75


How does that compare with this:


b. "...in 1969, an American infantry company led by Lt. Wm. Calley walked into a Vietnamese village...where...the company had taken terrible casualties....they perpetrated a day-long massacre (they even took a break for lunch) in which they slaughtered hundreds of the village's men, women, and children."
Op. Cit., p. 83.





Is evil recognized by the actions undertaken???

...like guaranteeing nuclear weapons to 7th century savages??????

vile, indeed...

Mr. Kim rules with extreme brutality, making his nation among the worst human rights violators in the world.

Since Mr. Kim assumed power in 2011, taking over from his father, Kim Jong-il, he has consolidated his power through executions. In the first six years as leader, he has ordered the executions of at least 340 people, according to the Institute for National Security Strategy, a think tank arm of the National Intelligence Service.

[jwoodie]

The bookends on FDR's presidency were his refusal to meet with President Hoover to discuss the economy for four months after the 1932 election and the concealment of his deteriorating health prior to the 1944 election. In between, he was a vacuous politician who couldn't distinguish form from substance.

I agree with your post......now, are you saying that Franklin Roosevelt and Hussein Obama belong in the same category with the Hermit King...."Evil"????


They do.

FDR....this guy:

1. Roosevelt offered up the lives of everyone in Eastern Europe to his lord and master, Joseph 'Koba' Stalin


2. He made certain that Stalin's plans continued after his death: the creation of the United Nations


3. He extended the Depression by years.


4. He disposed of the Constitution


5. He imposed Mussolini's Fascist policies and called it 'the New Deal


6. He turned over command of our military actions in WWII to Stalin, and cost multiple thousands of US soldiers' deaths.


7. He made certain that communism survived the war, and thrived afterwards.


8. Without his actions, there would be no Red China, no Korean War, and no Vietnamese War

What a terrible position you put me in, willie!!!!


I have to give props- of a sort- to FDR?????


While the fat boy has produced the world's largest prison camp, and the most effective propaganda mechanisms.....

....FDR actually made Marxism palatable to the American people. He certainly left his fingerprints on the political landscape. He was evilly competent in that way.

6. None would deny that the Liberal/Democrat Party is of the Left.

This is the family tree that they sprang from:

Now. if evil is recognized in its actions.....as it should be...what to say of the Left's slaughter of tens of millions....

Stalin....42,672,000

Mao.....37,828,000

Hitler....20,946,000

Lenin....4,017,000

Pol Pot...2,397,000

....why would so very many Americans support a party, the major party in our nation, that stands for the same desires for society that the murderers mentioned above, stood for?



Answer: once having given up religion and morality, one cannot recognize evil, nor act with rectitude against it.




….on the political spectrum, is today’s Democrat Party closer to John F. Kennedy, or Lee Harvey Oswald?
