Evil will always — always — take advantage of any weakness or hesitancy it perceives in goodness. Evil can do things that good can’t because evil has no conscience, no standards, no stopping point. There are just some things that good people cannot do, and that’s a limitation when dealing with those who have no morals, and who thus will commit any vile barbarity. Apparently, Charles Spurgeon was the first to say, "A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on” (1859), though Jonathan Swift wrote similarly in 1710, "Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it." John Stuart Mill said, “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends than that good men should look on and do nothing” (1867). Unfortunately, this appears too often to be the truth.

But “good men” must all be on the same page. Everybody in America, and enough people in Europe, used to be there. Now, about half of Americans and probably more Europeans are reading a completely different book on what “goodness” and “evil” are. And that book ain’t called “The Holy Bible.”

Nations change, of course, and will eventually become completely different. France was called “Gaul” by the Romans, and when Caesar fought them, they were very primitive (some of whom fought in the nude). Rome then provided a semblance of order and stability, but it took hundreds of years of Christianity to truly civilize the country. Unfortunately, Christianity was unable to civilize Islam or the Left, and that is what we are seeing in France today — the rebellion of these two uncivilized monsters. Emmanuel Macron, being a leftist........
