The absence of good (Latin: privatio boni) is a theological doctrine that evil, unlike good, is insubstantial, so that thinking of it as an entity is misleading. Instead, evil is rather the absence or lack (“privation”) of good.It is typically attributed to Augustine, who wrote: And in the universe, even that which is called evil, when it is regulated and put in its own place, only enhances our admiration of the good; for we enjoy and value the good more when we compare it with the evil. For the Almighty God, who, as even the heathen acknowledge, has supreme power over all things, being Himself supremely good, would never permit the existence of anything evil among His works, if He were not so omnipotent and good that He can bring good even out of evil.

The title of this post describes what we see in this transcript. An exchange between a liberal useful idiot interviewer and an egopper so entrenched, so practiced, so blinded by the Beltway culture he is not even aware he is a tool of the left.

And now for some really encouraging news. It seems that according to the FBI some 27 million guns were purchased last year. Some would say ‘in spite of’ but I would say ‘because of’ the efforts of the past administration and the promise to increase those efforts if his party’s queen won the election to impose gun control on the country as they did health control the deplorables made a mockery of those efforts just as they made a mockery of the entire last 8 years on Nov. 4.  The irony could not be greater or sweeter. From the Examiner: “Driven by terror threats and a potential Hillary Clinton administration, sales of guns in America soared to record levels in 2016, according to the FBI. Just released FBI background check numbers, which roughly equate gun sales, totaled some 27,538,673, 4 million more than in 2015 and nearly double the number in...
