I just listened to Dennis Prager's
2nd hour from Monday, February 12th. I was struck by the woman who called, appalled at the sentence the brothers received. She kept referring to them as sick; they needed help like
Andrea Yates or
Susan Smith. This caller's pleas left me wondering: Are we blind to evil?
What those brothers did to that poor dog was simply evil, and society cannot suffer evil in its midst. The brothers deserve the punishment they got. In fact, they should count themselves lucky that it was only a 10 year sentence.
I was dismayed to not hear one caller call this act of torture what it was: Evil ... pure and simple evil.
It is no wonder that the majority of folks have elected Congressmen and Senators who are running away from the war against Islamo-fascism. An overwhelming majority of Americans can no longer see evil when it stares them in the face. Instead they see someone who is not simply not well; someone who needs help.
Americans have replaced religion, which has a great deal to say about good and evil, with psychology, which, when it comes to good and evil, is mute.
