More From Dennis Prager

Virtually Throughout Its History, And Certainly In The 20th Century, California Has Been Known As The Place To Go For Dynamism And Growth. It Did Not Become The Richest, Most Populous, And Most Productive State Solely Because Of Its Weather And Natural Resources. So It Takes A Lot To Turn California Around From Growth To Contraction, From People Moving Into The State To A Net Exodus From The State, From Business Moving Into California To Businesses Leaving California. It Takes Some Doing. And The Left Has Done It.

In Little More Than A Generation, Feminism Has Obliterated Roles. If You Wonder Why So Many Men Choose Not To Get Married, The Answer Lies In Large Part In The Contemporary Devaluation Of The Husband And Of The Father - Of Men As Men, In Other Words.

I Have Known Tavis Smiley Since The 1980s, When We Both Worked At The Same Radio Station In Los Angeles. He Is Smart, And He Is A Gentleman Who Has Accorded Me Great Respect Both On And Off The Air.

The Notion That There Is No Basic Value System Is Far More Incoherent Or Invalid Than The Notion That There Are Essential Values. Every Religion Can Tell You It Has Basic Values. You Ask A Christian, Most Christians Would Say Love God And Love Your Neighbor. Is That The Entirety Of Christianity? No One In His Right Mind Would Say It Is.

Whatever Feminists May Say About Their Only Advocating Choices, Everyone Knows The Truth: Feminism Regards Work Outside The Home As More Elevating, Honorable, And Personally Productive Than Full-time Mothering And Making A Home.

There Is No Happiness That Isn't Earned

When I See The Mostly Young People Of Occupy Wall Street - A Mixture Of The Bored, The Nihilistic, The Seekers Of Excitement, The Left-wing True Believers, The Confused Idealists And Those Hoping To Engage In Violence - Railing Against The Rich Capitalists On Wall Street, I Get Worried. Because The Hatred They Express Toward The Rich Is Similar To That Expressed Against The Rich By Stalin, Mao And Pol Pot. Of Course, These People Are Not Comparable To Those Killers. But Class Hatred Must Lead To Bad Things. That Is Why President Obama Is Playing With Fire With His Attacks On The Rich.

If Anything, We Older People Yearn For A Peaceful World Even More Than Young People Do. We Are The Ones Who Lost Friends Or Relatives In Some War. We Are The Ones Who Have Lived A Lifetime Of Seeing And Reading About Human Suffering.

Does The Unborn Human Fetus Have At Any Point The Right To Live?

The Left Is Doing To America What It Has Done To Almost Everything It Has Deeply Influenced - The Arts, The University, Religion, Culture, Minorities, Europe: Ruining It.

You Have A Choice In Life Very Often Whether You Do Good Or You Feel Good.

Leftists' Meanness Toward Those With Whom They Differ Has No Echo On The Normative Right.

This Is The Belief Of The Left: You Negotiate With Evil, And Get Tough With Your Allies

Leftism Hides Under An Intellectual Veneer, But Underneath It Is All Emotion

Unhappy, Let Alone Angry, Religious People Provide More Persuasive Arguments For Atheism And Secularism Than Do All The Arguments Of Atheists.

My Great Project Is To Undo The Moral And Intellectual Damage Of Most Universities

As You Get Older And Wiser You Realize That When People Are Given Anything Without Having To Earn It (unless They Are Physically Or Mentally Utterly Incapable Of Earning Anything), They Become Ungrateful And Lazy. They Also Become Less Happy.

There Is A Very Good Thing About Hating Evil. If You Hate Evil, That's All You Will Hate

There Is Nothing - Not Any Religious Or Secular Body Of Work - That Comes Close To The Bible In Forming The Moral Bases Of Western Civilization And Therefore Of Nearly All Moral Progress In The World.

The Left And Democrats Are Relying On The Decline The American Character That Left-wing Policies Have Produced.

There Is No Benefit To The Conservative Sinner In Being A Conservative. There Is Great Benefit To The Liberal Sinner In Being A Liberal.

From Their Teenage Years On, Children Are Considerably More Capable Of Causing Parents Unhappiness Than Bringing Them Happiness. That Is One Reason Parents Who Rely On Their Children For Happiness Make Both Their Children And Themselves Miserable.

The More Things That Can Bring You Joy In Life, The Better

The Left Corrupts Everything It Touches

Some Of Us Worry About A Resurgent Islam And Its Attendant Complications For A Decayed Western Civilization; Some Of Us Worry About Global Warming. In Twenty Years' Time, One Of Us Will Be Proved Right . . .

If They [liberals] Didn't Believe We Were Mean Spirited They Couldn't Stay Liberal. They Have To Believe They Mean Better Than Us, But We Don't Have To Believe That We Mean Better Than Them. We Have To Believe That We Do Better Than Them. We Measure Morality By What Happens Not What Is Intended.

The Further Left You Go, The Meaner The Spirit

Hamas Is A Terrorist Organization Dedicated To Annihilating The Jewish State. It Runs A Theocratic Totalitarian State In Gaza, With No Individual Liberty, And No Freedom Of Speech Or Press.

Freedom Of Speech

America, Not Keith Ellison, Decides What Book A Congressman Takes His Oath On.

The Larger The State, The More Callous It Becomes... The Colder Its Heart. It Is Also True That The Bigger The Corporation, The More Callous Its Heart. But Unlike The State, Corporations Have Competition And Have No Police Powers.

The Last Thing Jews Need Is To Create Tension With Their Best Friends. And The Last Thing Christians Need Is A Renewal Of Christian Hatred Toward Jesus' People.

I Can't Think Of A Greater Single Vehicle To Goodness And A Better World Than If Everyone Battled Their Own Natures

That Said, I Have Come To Believe That The More Committed One Is To Leftism, The More Likely One Is To Become Meaner.

Thanks To Barack Obama, America Is For The First Time Aligning Its Values With Those Of 'the Majority Of The World's Population.' If You Think The World's Population Has Had Better Values Than America, That Is Has Made Societies That Are More Open, Free, And Tolerant Than American Society, And That Is Has Fought For Others' Liberty More Than America Has, You Should Be Delighted.

Having Travelled To Some 20 African Countries, I Find Myself, Like So Many Other Visitors To Africa Before Me, Intoxicated With The Continent. And I Am Not Referring To The Animals, As Much As I Have Been Enthralled By Them During Safaris In Kenya, Tanzania And Zimbabwe. Rather, I Am Referring To The African Peoples.

Liberals Don't Ask 'does It Work?' They Ask 'does It Equalize?'

All Happy People Are Grateful. Ungrateful People Cannot Be Happy. We Tend To Think That Being Unhappy Leads People To Complain, But It’s Truer To Say That Complaining Leads To People Becoming Unhappy.

Ungrateful People

The Bigger The State, The Smaller The Citizen

There Was A Time When Liberalism Was Identified With Anti-communism. But The Vietnam War Led Liberals Into The Arms Of The Left, Which Had Been Morally Confused About Communism Since Its Inception And Had Become Essentially Pacifist Following The Carnage Of World War I.

Happiness Is Dependent On Self-discipline. We Are The Biggest Obstacles To Our Own Happiness. It Is Much Easier To Do Battle With Society And With Others Than To Fight Our Own Nature.

Grateful People Are Good People, And Good People Are Happy People

I Have Never Written That There Is A Threat Of Fascism In America. I Always Considered The Idea Overwrought. But Now I Believe There Really Is Such A Threat - And It Will Come Draped Not In An American Flag, But In The Name Of Tolerance And Health.

Enough Generations Of Socialist Policies Have Now Passed For Us To Judge Their Effects. They Are Bleak. Socialism Undermines The Character Of A Nation And Of Its Citizens. In Simpler Words, Socialism Makes People Worse.

The Left Neither Cares About Prosperity Nor Jobs. It Cares About Equality

The Feminist Movement Has Far More Anger For Men Than It Has Love For Women.

The Whole American Experiment Has Been Predicated On Giving Individuals As Much Control Over Their Own Lives As Possible.

Once We Perceive That It Is Judaism Which Is The Root Cause Of Antisemitism, Otherwise Irrational Or Inexplicable Aspects Of Antisemitism Become Rationally Explicable...only Something Representing A Threat To The Core Values, Allegiances And Beliefs Of Others Could Cause Such Universal, Deep And Lasting Hatred. This Judaism Has Done.

It Is Sometimes Rational To Do What Is Wrong, And Sometimes Irrational To Do What Is Right

Leftism Seeks To Undo Most Of The Values That Are Distinct To Judeo-christian Religion.

We Have A Moral Obligation To Act Happy Even If We Don't Feel It

I Don't Let The Hate Go To My Heart, And I Don't Let The Praise Go To My Head.

For Some Reason, The Evolutionists Have Not Come Up With An Evolution-based Explanation For Why Human Beings React So Powerfully To Music. But Surely They Will.

Choosing To Be Grateful Earns You Happiness

To Posit The Existence Of A Creator Requires Only Reason. To Posit The Existence Of A Good God Requires Faith.

Life Is Too Short Not To Enjoy As Much Of It As You Can

Life Is Too Short

If You Inflict Your Unhappiness Onto Others, It Is Sinful

Nothing Provides The Antidote To Narcissism, Or The Environment For The Healthy Raising Of Children, Or The Way For People To Take Care Of One Another, As Does The Marriage Of A Man And A Woman. And While Most Divorces Are Terribly Sad, Divorce Itself No More Undermines The Institution Of Marriage Than Car Crashes Undermine The Institution Of Driving.

Chechnya Is A Pressure Cooker Of Islamist Anger

The Muslim World Is Threatened By Religious Fanaticism. The Western World Is Threatened By Secular Fanaticism.

Let Us Make War On The Phrase 'violence Doesn't Solve Anything.' It Is A Lie, And Anyone Who Utters It Cannot Be Taken Morally Seriously.

Those Who Believe In Nothing Are Very, Very Jealous And Angry At Those Who Believe In Something.

Negative People

People Confuse Goodness With Weakness. It Is Weak People, Not Good People (goodness Demands Strength), Who Are Taken Advantage Of.

Everyone Of Us Plays 'tapes' From Our Parents Until We Die. That's Why It's So Important To Talk Good Values To Your Child

As A Result Of The Left's Sympathetic Views Of Pacifism And Because Almost No Welfare State Can Afford A Strong Military, European Countries Rely On America To Fight The World's Evil, And Even To Defend Them

The Welfare State Corrupts Family Life. Even Democrats Have Acknowledged The Destructive Consequences Of The Welfare State On The Underclass. It Has Rendered Vast Numbers Of Male Unnecessary To Females, Who Have Looked To The State To Support Them And Their Children (and The More Children, The More State Support) Rather Than To Husbands. In Effect, These Women Took The State As Their Husband.

You Will Be A Happier Person If You Don't Do What You Want To Do, Most Of The Time

Rather Than Dividing The World Between Good And Evil, The Left Divided The World In Terms Of Economics. Economic Classes, Not Moral Values, Explained Human Behavior. Therefore, To Cite A Common Example, Poverty, Not One's Moral Value System, Or Lack Of It, Caused Crime.

People Can Become Addicted To Fame, Money, And Attention As Deeply As They Become Addicted To Drugs.

Of All The Characteristics Needed For Both A Happy And Morally Decent Life, None Surpasses Gratitude. Grateful People Are Happier, And Grateful People Are More Morally Decent.

Our Society Is Obsessed With Personal Rights, But It Will Survive Only If We Adopt Personal Obligations.

It Is Essential That Christians Understand This. Every Jew, Secular, Religious, Assimilated, Left-wing, Right-wing, Fears Being Killed Because He Is Jewish. This Is The Best-kept Secret About Jews, Who Are Widely Perceived As Inordinately Secure And Powerful. But It Is The Only Universally Held Sentiment Among Jews.

In A Lifetime Of Observing And Participating In Political Debate, I Have Seen A Lot Of Meanness.

The Vast Majority Of Those Who Are Famous Are Not Significant And The Vast Majority Of Those Who Are Significant Are Not Famous.

How Important Is Excitement To Happiness? The Key Is To Get Excited About The Mundane-- Not Just Extraordinary Things

Parents Are Flawed Human Beings Who Are Given A Role That More Approximates That Of God Than Of Mere Mortals.

I Am Convinced That Great Ideas That Are Powerfully Presented Can Change A Mind In Five Minutes.

For The Left, Tolerance Does Not Mean Tolerance. It Means First, Acceptance. And Second, Celebration. That Is Totalitarianism: You Not Only Have To Live With What You May Differ With, Dear Citizen, You Have To Celebrate It Or Pay A Steep Price.

President Obama Has Done More Damage To America Than Any American Has Since 1776

Because Gratitude Is The Key To Happiness, Anything That Undermines Gratitude Must Undermine Happiness. And Nothing Undermines Gratitude As Much As Expectations. There Is An Inverse Relationship Between Expectations And Gratitude: The More Expectations You Have, The Less Gratitude You Will Have.

Our Scientific Age Demands That We Provide Definitions, Measurements, And Statistics In Order To Be Taken Seriously. Yet Most Of The Important Things In Life Cannot Be Precisely Defined Or Measured. Can We Define Or Measure Love, Beauty, Friendship, Or Decency, For Example?

The Left Is Totalitarian In Its Nature

Most People Who Call Themselves Conservatives Can't Explain The American Value System.

American Values

The Left Has Never Been Comfortable With The Notion That Values Are More Determinitive Than Socioeconomic Factors In Human Behavior

I Don't Judge People By Their Theology, I Judge Them By Their Behavior

Just Listen To Chris Matthews On Any Given Day And You Will See What's Acceptable On The Left

When Emotions Dominate, Maturity And Wisdom Deteriorate

Has Feminism Increased The Pool Of Happy Women?

Conservatives Divide The World In Terms Of Good And Evil While Liberals Do It In Terms Of The Rich And Poor.

If You Want To Know What You Look Like, Look Into A Mirror. If You Want To Know How You Think, You Should Write

Ever Notice, The Ones Who Deny The Holocaust Are Usually The Same Ones Who Want To Repeat It?

Ladies And Gentlemen, If Some Of The Leading Artists In A Civilization See A Man Urinating In Another Man's Mouth And See Composition And Lighting And Do Not See Their Civilization Being Pissed Upon, We Are In Trouble.

Once One Understands That 'racial Tensions' Is A Euphemism For A Black Animosity Toward Whites And A Left-wing Construct, One Begins To Understand Why The Election Of A Black President Has Had No Impact On Most Blacks Or On The Left.

The Greatest Hope Most Americans - Including Republicans - Had When Barack Obama Was Elected President Was That The Election Of A Black Person As The Country's President Would Reduce, If Not Come Close To Eliminating, The Racial Tensions That Have Plagued America For Generations.

Citizens Of Liberal Welfare States Become Increasingly Narcissistic

Socialism Values Equality More Than Liberty.

The World Is A Bad Place. There Are Many Wonderful People, But On The Whole, Humanity Basically Stinks.

"i Am Bored" Generally Means "i Am Boring."

Society May No Longer Define Marriage In The Only Way Marriage Has Ever Been Defined In The Annals Of Recorded History. Many Societies Allowed Polygamy, Many Allowed Child Marriages, Some Allowed Marriage Within Families; But None, In Thousands Of Years, Defined Marriage As The Union Of People Of The Same Sex.

Governments Grow As God Declines, In Both Europe And The United States

I Always Believe In Earning Love. I Consider Unconditional Love To Be One Of The Worst Ideas Developed

Unconditional Love

Goodness Is About Character - Integrity, Honesty, Kindness, Generosity, Moral Courage, And The Like. More Than Anything Else, It Is About How We Treat Other People.

The More The State Gives To Its Citizens, The Less They Have To Earn. That Is The Basic Concept Of The Welfare State - You Receive Almost Everything You Need Without Having To Earn Any Of It. About Half Of Americans Now Pay No Federal Income Tax - But They Receive All Government Benefits Just As If They Had Paid For, I.e., Earned Them.

Just Because You Cannot Fight Every Evil Does Not Mean You Should Fight No Evils.

God Is The Foundation Of Liberty. Because If God Is Not, Who Is? The Government?

I Am Supposed To Worry About Oceans Rising 70 Years From Now, On Climate Models That Have Already Proven To Be Utterly Flawed?

Given The Unprecedented Ignorance Of The Bible In Contemporary America, It Is Likely That More Young Americans Will Only Know The Noah Of 'noah.' We Can Only Hope That The Film Offers Even A Fraction Of The Wisdom Of The Original.

The Worldview Of The Left Is A Battle Between Rich And Poor

Not Only Do We Have A Right To Be Happy, We Have An Obligation To Be Happy Because Our Happiness Has An Effect On Everyone Around Us.

Finding Patterns Is The Essence Of Wisdom

I Believe That The Levels Of Taxation Advocated By Liberals Render Those Taxes A Veiled Form Of Theft. 'give Me More Than Half Of Your Honestly Earned Money Or You Will Be Arrested' Is Legalized Thievery.

Big Government Squashes The Human Spirit

The '60s Redefined Narcissism As Idealism.

Until The Left Took Over American Public Education In The Second Half Of The 20th Century, It Was Generally Excellent - Look At The High Level Of Eighth-grade Exams From Early In The 20th Century And You Will Weep. The More Money The Left Has Gotten For Education - America Now Spends More Per Student Than Any Country In The World - The Worse The Academic Results. And The Left Has Removed God And Dress Codes From Schools - With Socially Disastrous Results.

The More We Complain, The More Unhappy We Get

Men Need Rule Books. Women Want Men To Intuit What They Want. And Only About 2% Of Men Can Do That, And Most Of Them Are Not Heterosexual.

Given The Religious Nature And The Emotional Power Of Leftist Values, Jews And Christians On The Left Often Derive Their Values From The Left More Than From Their Religion.

There’s More Time Spent On Teaching Kids About Recycling Than On Character Development In The American Schools.

It Is A World Of Lies That Permeates The Left

First Tell The Truth, Then Give Your Opinion.

Left-wing Thinking Is That Difference Means Unequal; Therefore, All Difference Must Be Denied

Only A Fool Can Believe People Are Basically Good

Leftist Big-government Policies Have Been Disastrous For Black America Just As They Were In The Countries That Most Hispanics Emigrated From. But Like The Gambling Addict Who Keeps Gambling The More He Loses, Those Addicted To Government Entitlements Keep Increasing The Size Of The Government Even As Their Situation Worsens.

Prayer Is Not Asking God To Do Something, It's Asking God To Help You Do Something

If You Equate Happiness With Success, You Will Never Achieve The Amount Of Success Necessary To Make You Happy.

No Day Passes Without A Democratic Politician, A Left-wing Commentator, Or, If I May Be Excused A Redundancy, A Left-wing Academic Labeling Republicans And Conservatives Racist.

For All Of Higher Civilization's Recorded History, Becoming A Man Was Defined Overwhelmingly As Taking Responsibility For A Family.

Who Has Created More Peace In The World, The Peace Corps Or The Marine Corps?

Every Left-wing Hysteria Of My Lifetime Has Turned Out To Be Untrue. Every Single One

The Left Has Always Sought Single, Non-values-based Explanations For Human Behavior.

If You're Morally Clear You Are Not On The Left

The Left Is Not Interested In Prosperity, It Is Interested In Equality

The Human Species Produces A Certain Percentage Of Scum. That Is The Way In Which I Have Understood The World My Whole Life

To Deny That Human Beings Are Filled With Anti-social Passions Betrays A Denial Of Reality And A Lack Of Self-awareness. One Has To Be Taught Nonsense For A Great Many Formative Years To Believe It.

Whenever Possible, The Left And The Democrats Have De-stigmatized Irresponsible Behavior.

Also, When You Escape A Communist Regime, You Treasure Liberty And You Understand That As Government And State Expand, Liberty Must Contract.

A Bad Mood Is Like Bad Breath. Both Are Wrong To Inflict Onto Others

In The Biblical Worldview, The Purpose Of All Creation Is To Benefit Man. This Anthropocentric View Of Nature, And Indeed Of The Whole Universe, Is Completely At Odds With The Current Secular Idealization Of Nature. This Secular View Posits That Nature Has Its Own Intrinsic Meaning And Purpose, Independent Of Man.

There Was One Thing More Than Any Other That Turned This New York, Liberal, Jewish, Columbia University Graduate Student Away From Modern Liberalism: Its Use Of Moral Equivalence To Avoid Confronting Evil During The Cold War.

Happiness Is A Moral Obligation

Moral Obligation

The Entire European Union Is A Left-wing Dream

Liberalism Means Well, But It Destroys

But If There Is A Just God, There Is Ultimate Justice.

It Is A Lie That America Is Racist

Very Rarely Do People Make Big Compromises With Their Integrity. Almost Every Compromise Is A Small One That Is Easily Justified. The Downhill Slide Is Usually A Result Of Many Little Compromises.

Secularism Breeds Narcissism. There Is Nothing Higher To Live For, So You Live For You

I Would Bet That The Average Teenager In This Country Has Not Used The Word 'wisdom' In The Past Year

Much Of The World's Moral Compass Is Broken. The Moral North Reads South And The Moral South Reads North.

In Colleges Throughout America, Students Are Taught To Have Disdain For The White Race. I Know This Sounds Incredible, Or At Least Exaggerated. It Is Neither.

For Conservatives, The Issue Is That For Generations Now, They Have Failed To Make The Case For Their Values. They Haven't Even Conveyed Conservative Values To Many Of Their Children. And When They Have, The University Has Often Succeeded In Undoing Them.

The Welfare State Inhibits The Maturation Of Its Young Citizens Into Responsible Adults

Therefore The Vast Majority Of The People Who Affirm Leftist Beliefs Think Of Their Views As The Only Way To Properly Think About Life.

Even Non-democratic Allies No Longer Trust America. Barack Obama Has Alienated Our Most Important And Longest Standing Arab Allies, Egypt And Saudi Arabia. Both The Anti-muslim Brotherhood And The Anti-iran Arab States Have Lost Respect For Him.

The Left Has Taken Over The Universities And, Increasingly, High Schools And Elementary Schools. It Dominates The News And Entertainment Media. And Many Judges And Courts Are Leftist - Meaning That Their Decisions Are Guided By Leftism More Than By The Law Or The Constitution.

The More Passions You Have The Happier You'll Be

Virtually Every Agnostic Lives Like An Atheist, Living Completely Irreligious Lives

For The Left, Affluence Is Won, Not Earned.

America Will Nurture A New Muslim - One Who Can Believe In Muhammad And The Quran But Who Abandons Belief In A Shariah-based State And Affirms The Primary American Value Of Individual Liberty, Which Has Not Been A Normative Islamic Value.

The Fact Is That People Who Strap Bombs To Their Bodies To Blow Up Families At A Bar Mitzvah In Israel, Plant Bombs At A Nightclub In Bali, Or Slit Stewardesses' Throats And Ram Airplanes Filled With Innocent Americans Into Office Buildings Do Not Do So For Any Reason Related To Poverty. They Do So Because They Hold Evil Beliefs And Have Deformed Consciences

Repetition Is The Mother Of Pedagogy

Those Indoctrinated By Leftist Thinking Become Largely Incapable Of Making Accurate Moral Judgments.

Humility Is A Fantastic Trait And Is One Of The Most Important Things We Can Have

The Right Wing Walks The Walk; The Left Wing Taxes The People That Walk The Walk

Opponents Of Capital Punishment Argue That The State Has No Right To Take A Murderer's Life. Apparently, One Fact That Abolitionists Forget Or Overlook Is That The State Is Acting Not Only On Behalf Of Society, But Also On Behalf Of The Murdered Person And The Murdered Person's Family.

Without God And Religion You Don't Have Moral Truth, You Have Moral Opinion

Those Who Don't Fight Evil Hate Those Who Do; And Those Who Don't Fight Real Evils Make Up Little Evils

Lying To The Left Is Like Water To Fish

The Bigger The Government, The Greater The Corruption

The Left Needs Causes Like Fish Need Water

There Is No Limit To Suffering Human Beings Have Been Willing To Inflict On Others, No Matter How Innocent, No Matter How Young, And No Matter How Old. This Fact Must Lead All Reasonable Human Beings, That Is, All Human Beings Who Take Evidence Seriously, To Draw Only One Possible Conclusion: Human Nature Is Not Basically Good.

There Is Something About Liberalism That Is Not Nearly As True About Conservatism. The Further Left One Goes, The More One Finds That The Ideology Provides Moral Cover For A Life That Is Not Moral. While Many People Left Of Center Lead Fine Personal Lives, Many Do Not.

The Left Has Always Been Anti-religious, And Especially Anti-christian.

The Only Difference Between Your Local College And A Christian Seminary Is That The Latter Is More Honest.

Most American Elementary Schools And High Schools, And Nearly All Colleges And Universities, Teach Everything That Is Significant From A Liberal/left Perspective.

More People Have Done Good In The Name Of God Than Any Other Way

How A Society Channels Male Aggression Is One Of The Greatest Questions As To Whether That Society Will Survive. That's Why I Am Not Against Violence In The Media, I Am Against The Glorification Of Immoral Violence.

Against Violence

The Essence Of The Hebrew Bible, Transmitted By Christianity, Is Separation: Between Life And Death, Nature And God, Good And Evil, Man And Woman, And The Holy And The Profane.

Whatever The Left Touches-- The Arts; The Economy; Health Care; The Soul; Religion-- It Destroys Or Damages
