The Failure to Treat Communism as an Evil on Par with Nazism

True it is! We treat some evils as more evil than others (Indeed, we treat some evils as if they were not!). And how about the present day treatment of (or attitude toward) infanticide, a.k.a. “a woman’s choice”!
We are blind to the sins of our time. And oft times it isn’t until another generation is awakened and shines the light upon them, that a nation sees its sins and comes out of the darkness.
Hmmmmm. Frustrating, irritating, and disgusting.
