Why are liberals incapable of identifying and confronting evil?

Question

yeah, I know, you think Bush is evil, even worse than Osama and Saddam. He is evil for helping liberate over 50 million people (who has France liberated exactly?), and for taking away civil liberties that you can't specify.

So other than that evils son-of-a-Bush, is the reason you don't want to recognize and confront evil (oh, I don't know, Iran, N. Korea, the ethnic cleansing in Sudan and Darfur) because it would mean actually moving beyond talk?

Answer 1

Liberals are known as being opportunists. They look to gain from others missteps or misfortunes. That being the case, they don't try to solve problems, they only look to tear down the right wing. Although Republicans are disliked,particularly these days, at least they take actions rather than wait to feed off of others problems

Answer 2

There are many evil, or what Americans consider evil, leaders in this world.The reality is that unless it happens in our country we have no right to judge other leaders. IF we had destroyed Ahfganistan to kill Osama eveyone in this country would be on the same side. The problem is we invaded a soverign country who had NOTHING to do with 9/11. The hijackers were Saudis, Osama is a Saudi. Did we go into Saudi Arabia. No. Why ?Because Bush has many oil deals with them. We went after Iraqi oil not the real terrorists. Liberals are not incapable of confronting evil, we just want it to be sure that it is the real evil.

Answer 3

You answered your own question - "yeah, I know, you think Bush is evil"

Liberals are capable of identifying evil:

Bush = Evil. There. One has been identified.
Cheney = Evil. Here's another one.
Karl Rove = Evil, yet another one.

What 50 million were liberated?

Do you mean the Iraqi people who do not feel or believe that they have been liberated and are demanding for US withdrawal?

Or the 12,617 Iraqis killed by the US? Do they feel liberated? I guess they were liberted. From life.

Who has France liberted exactly?

Well, if I recall they were a very big help in liberating the American colonist from British rule. History books indicated that if it had not been for the French, the Americans would not have won their Independence.

Answer 4

I agree-the US needs to step in and help the poor people in the Sudan and Darfur. That we have not done so is a crime. But what problem do you have with France? You sound just like one of my close relatives! Actually, as one who is fairly liberal I don't have a problem recognizing evil-in myself or in others. Its present everywhere, just as good is. Its just that I rarely confront it because its a "live and let live" world for me. I would step in to report an accident or a crime being committed. And when I recognize ongoing abuse I do try to help. Trouble there is that many caught up in abusive situations don't want help. I don't hate Bush; I just think he's a nasty, limited little man, drunk with power as many of ALL political persuasions are. I do vote and express myself in that way. So many things are beyond my immediate control. So what I do on a daily basis is just to try and bring a little something positive to life by not causing harm or pain to myself or others. Blaming and finger pointing does nothing but cause more problems. And the world doesn't need more problems.

Answer 5

No one denies that Saddam Hussein was a monster. However, the "War on Terror" was supposed to be a response to the 9/11 attacks. And in case you've forgotten, it was Osama bin Laden, not Saddam Hussein, who was responsible for the attacks. By the way, where the hell is Osama bin Laden? It's been nearly 5 years since the 9/11 attacks, and he STILL hasn't been caught! When is his evil going to be confronted?

By the way, we are the United States of America, not the World Police. It's not our responsibility to "liberate" people in brutal dictatorships just so that we can drive ourselves into a record debt and alienate the rest of the world.

Answer 6

Its just politics. Liberals have in the past denounced Saddam, N Korea, etc - but today - they are incapable of claiming anything is evil, for it would agree with Bush, Reps and cons alike.

They look at public perceptino, then make a decision after they have poured over that perception. Immediately after 9/11 - every Dem Senator and liberal made grandiose soap box statements concerning "evil" - because the American public required it. Now, that the sentiments are largely against Iraq - they have switched gears and denounce anything "evil"

Answer 7

can you define evil?
is evil buying a diamond ring dug out of the ground by under paid africans?
Is evil calling an invasion a liberation?
sorry but you know as well as any liberal N. Korea has always been a bigger threat than iraq ever was. with that being said the intentions for iraq are not for evil purposes. what about china and its civil rights violations? what about cuba?
be real, stop buying into the political rhetoric and go read some macihavelli!

Answer 8

The answer to your question is a condition I term "logic dyslexia", liberals see the same thing we see but their minds turn it around and reverse what is obvious. Either I am right about this theory or they are just plain liars and so bend on their hatred of Bush for beating Gore and Kerry that no matter what truth they hear they deny or claim they disbelieve it. I am just glad I am not a twisted minded liberal who has to argue their unsupported point of view.
America isn't the enemy, beleive that, this country has given too much blood for freedom of millions in the past and those who will inherit freedom in the future, believe in America and be united for truth, democracy and personal rights and freedom, don't be a coward like the democrats.

Answer 9

Probably because they know a war would be the reason to win some ones freedom, and they dont want to sacrafice thier sons and daughters...

Or, they figure its in "that part" of the World and wont bother us...

Or, they are like ostriches and stick thier heads in the sand and it will go away???

Its "hard" to do the "right thing". No matter what, and if you dont have the stomach for it, then be a liberal, eh? They always "cut and run", but then again, they like the "easy way out".

Mother on Welfare and doesnt want the kid, Abortion! Quick and easy...no mess, no fuss.

Pediphiles on the internet... slap them on the wrist and tell them "BAD BOY" and let them go.

People wanting to bribe them? Oh, put it in the freezer at home and they will consider it "cold hard cash"???? LOL!!!

I wish you well..

Answer 10

I think a NINE TRILLION DOLLAR national debt, including the 3 largest annual budget deficits (all authored by Bush and his lackies in Congress) is pretty evil. Why can't the so-called "conservatives" of the Republican Party manage a balanced budget like Clinton did? The best they could do was vote recently to raise the ceiling on the national debt.

ps: NINE TRILLION DOLLARS equals $30,000 apiece for each American.

Answer 11

When someone else abuses their power and inflicks harm, It dosen't give you the same right. It would be a justified if the UN santioned it. After all, We bassically wrote the UN rules. Now we have violated the international laws that we created. How will other countries ever trust us again. I thought being trustworthy and honest were good traits. At least that is what I tell my kids. Don't forget Bush was AWAL for a year before daddy bailed him out.
