Rush Limbaugh slandered a college student with ad hominem attacks of "whore/slut" instead of civilly disagreeing with her with valid points.
Is that not evil?
Republicans tell rural white America that their whiteness, and Christianity makes them special, more derserving and "real" Americans as opposed to "others who just want a handout", so they can continue to screw over everyone, including their own voters who they superficially praise.
A lot of these voters continue to have children in their teens from generation to generation, because abortion rights, and sexual education in schools is "not Christian"...Afterall, their powerful all-knowing Christian politiceans agree.
Is that not evil?
Serious question : for you, where do you draw the line between "no empathy" and "evil"?
Is it direct 1st degree murder with one's own bare hands?
If so, I can see your point, and while that may in fact be the ultimate evil, manipulating the masses into giving you power under the guise of Christianity and "family values" while families have less opportunity and progress, rates very high on the evil scale for me.
