GUT CHECK: EVIL DREAMS BIG

[Geee]

Breitbart:

Evil never takes a holiday; in fact, it capitalizes on them. Evil sees a busload of tourists as a piñata it would like to see burst.

Evil has no picnics planned, no three-day weekends fishing at the cabin, no trips to the shore with drunken alums.

There are no charity fun-runs for the devil.

What is the devil, these days?

We've realized it's not the one of old--the one we grew up thinking was evil. As a tyke, I looked to the USSR for my example of wretched godlessness. As a bloated state intent on expansion, it certainly was the devil to its people, burying tens of millions of citizens under the thumb of coercive progressivism known as communism.

But it wasn't a death cult that projects its blood lust on others, at all times. Brezhnev never sent planes into our buildings. Something tells me that sort of thing would even turn the belly of a socialist (unless they're currently teaching at one of our campuses).

Optimism over the decline of al Qaeda is folly. For as we've come to understand over and over again, they only need to succeed once to make it hurt. And given the new weapons at their disposal, succeeding once could end it all, for good.
