Are the right evil

Are the right evil?
Listen to the discussion of any liberal left winger, and the cry of the evil right is central to their argument at all levels. Here are a few examples from a cursory qoogle -

Even Wikipedia has a description of the right wing which makes it sound as if it's the belief of the devil himself.

Are the right evil? well lets first of all breakdown the question.

1) Who/ what are the 'right'
2) What is evil

To begin with -who are the right? In the left's psyche the 'right' are fat cat directors, energy companies, the wealthy who hoard the wealth which is rightly the masses (note - no longer is it the 'proletariat's'). A good catchall test appears to be 'the haves' in society. The above mentioned Wikipedia even includes racists. Don't forget war mongers, and those who don't support benefits etc etc. In summary, there appears to be no clear definition or agreement by the left as to what constitutes 'right wing' other then people they judge to be morally wrong. Appallingly enough, this has spread to the general public; which is fed on a steady diet of the linking of the right with racism and the greedy wealthy.(thank you BBC for your Tithe, sorry, TV licence.)

But this is neither fair or accurate as it ascribes a moral judgement to a political viewpoint as a means to discredit it without discussion (a reoccurring theme with the left). Further to this, it also functions to ascribe good to yourself by painting those who have opposing views to you as evil.

What is evil? This is such a significant existential question which requires such careful though that I would dare to presume I could comment on the subject with authority. But the left has. Lets review Sunny Hundal's view on this.

"if a person of considerable responsibility or power deliberately ignores or cheers on policies that lead to multiple deaths, they are ‘evil’"

Well this is odd. When confronted with the question of how to define evil in the statement that 'right wingers are evil', he describes an action which has no political affiliation. A person who has read anything more complex than 3 years old's pop up world history book might stoop to his level and discuss Stalin, or the Khmer Rouge, or the various actions of new Labour. But there is no point. You see, the key to understanding the UK left wing is to understand the following - they are in effect members of a proto-religion.

Once you accept this, the statement that the "right are evil" makes perfect sense. The right are evil, greedy. selfish, murderers. The inhabitants of a capitalistic Gomorrah heading towards death and destruction where they will burn in hell (global warning).

You don't argue with that, any more then you would argue with a Muslim regarding evolution. So what do you do? I'm not sure.

Here's a map of hell from Dante. See if you can spot which layers the right wing DON'T occupy.
