Opus 2017-177: A Still Greater Evil

Like much of America I have been following the Comey testimony this week.  Since I was driving in a truck across country and my wife likes to listen to Rush, Shawn and Mark, I got an earful.  By the end I had an idea of what a weasel Comey was and could see clearly how he had worked to undermine the Republican president.

The difficulty came when I listened to liberals like Juan Williams and other unrecognized faces talk as if Comey were the good guy.  I watched the vipers of the left already starting to turn after Jeff Sessions.  I saw nothing but lies and deceit.  I keep asking myself a question, “How can these people live with themselves knowing that they are selling the country down the drain in an attempt to put themselves in a position of power and control.”

I came across this thought from Pascal.

“Truly it is an evil to be full of faults; but it is a still greater evil to be full of them, and to be unwilling to recognize them, since that is to add the further fault of a voluntary illusion.”

I guess it must be that the left is unwilling to recognize their dishonesty.  Some people might accept that as a reasonable excuse.  They can’t help themselves.  Yes they can.  Their continued attempts to deceive the country only make them more pathetic and more evil.
