Confronting Evil Here at Home

by
Americans have no difficulty identifying and confronting evil when it is found in foreign regimes. A good example is Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine. Most every American is easily able to identify the evil of that invasion and is more than willing to confront and oppose it. But as I point out in my new book An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story, one of the big challenges we face here in America is the inability of all too many Americans to identify evil within their own government as well as an unwillingness to confront and oppose such evil when they do identify it. On November 22, 1963, Abraham Zapruder, the Dallas businessman who filmed the assassination of President Kennedy, had a personal encounter with evil. While able to identify the evil, he was unwilling to confront and oppose it. My new book is about how Zapruder’s chance encounter with evil — and the choice he made ...

Identifying and Confronting Evil

Americans have no problems identifying and confronting evil in foreign regimes. Most everyone, for example, has joined the bandwagon in condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.  As I point out in my new book An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story, a big problem facing our nation, however, is the inability of all too many Americans to identify evil within their own regime as well as an unwillingness to confront and oppose such evil when they are able to identify it.  Dallas businessman Abraham Zapruder, the man who filmed the assassination of President Kennedy, had an encounter with evil here at home. As I detail in my new book, his unwillingness to confront and oppose such evil, while perhaps understandable, ended up destroying the rest of his life. One thing is certain: There is no danger that Russian president Vladimir Putin will do anything bad to any American who criticizes him. That’s assuming, of ...

The Deferentials

Let’s have a thought experiment.  Suppose that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Cuban president Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez issued a joint announcement stating that North Korea had accepted an invitation to install some of its nuclear missiles in Cuba. The announcement made it clear that although the missiles could reach any American city, they would be entirely for the defense of Cuba, not for the purpose of attacking the United States.  There is no question but that as sovereign and independent countries, North Korea and Cuba have the “right” to enter into a defensive alliance with each other, just as Ukraine has the “right” to enter into an alliance with the United States or with the U.S. government’s Cold War dinosaur NATO. Moreover, as a sovereign and independent country, Cuba has the “right” to defend itself against aggression, just as Ukraine does. To defend itself or to ...

America, Meet Your New Dictator-in-Chief

“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have given way to permanent crisis management: to policing the planet and fighting preventative wars of ideological containment, usually on terrain chosen by, and favorable to, our enemies. Limited government and constitutional accountability have been shouldered aside by the kind of imperial presidency our constitutional system was explicitly designed to prevent.” — ...
