The Right Spin

There's a divide within our nation. This isn't old news. However, as I was reading an article something the author stated made me think:

As the left-liberal root-causes rot has it, people are basically good. When and if they go astray, it's because someone caused them to. Crime is said to be precipitated by factors outside the perpetrator.

Can the differences between the left and right be summed up as simply as that? Can we say of the left and the right, "The left believes in mankind's basic goodness and acts accordingly and the right believes in mankind's basic badness and acts accordingly." The more I think about it the more I have to say, 'yes.' Ilana Mercer wrote an excellent article about this idea here.

When we look back at the tapestry of human history do we see the overwhelming progress of good or evil? If mankind is essentially good how do you explain the march of evil that is our past?

That's because, after people perpetrate evil, liberals toss free will to the wind... You see, to perpetrate evil, one must be "mentally ill."

If true how does the left explain the horrible evil of our past? Was everyone "mentally ill?" And why did this "illness" suddenly end in our age?

No human wants to think they're bad. We all want to believe we're doing what's right for ourselves and others. The problem with that thought, however, is the fact that most who commit evil don't believe it to be so. Crazy people don't think they're crazy


Oh, by the way, the first article linked has nothing to do with this topic but it's a good read anyway.

Islam and the Koran are built upon violence. Anyone who knows the history of the faith's founder knows this. Muhammad spoke only of peace when he was not in a position to take what he wanted. When his number swelled he had no problem bringing the sword to those who stood against him. There is simply no comparison between this man and the messiah of another faith, Yeshua.

That there are so many duped into believing Islam is a religion of peace while Christianity is a religion of intolerance astounds me yet is unsurprising. Anyone with the capacity to think and read can only conclude that Muslims who preach peace and tolerance are indeed infidels of the faith. The Koran is the literal word of Allah - unchanging and perfect in it's handing down. Therefore those who do not heed its call for the death of unbelievers (or at least their forced conversion at the sword) are not practicing true Islam. I suppose this could be blamed on the "corrupting" influence of the Judeo-Christian values that have formed the West.

It only goes to show how far the West has fallen when it extols the virtues of a barbaric faith while shunning the virtues of the faith without which they would not exist. Truly up has become down.
