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.

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.

There Are Subtle Ways And Overt Ways Of Alienating A Child From A Parent, But Either Way It's Evil

American Troops Around The Globe Are The Greatest Preservers Of Liberty And Peace In The World.

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

Hillary Clinton Wanted To Hide What She Was Doing So That There Was No Trail

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.

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.

Corruption Is Africa's Greatest Problem. Not Poverty. Not Lack Of Riches. Not Racism.

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 Biggest Battle In Life Is With Yourself

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

Lies And Victimhood Make Evil Possible

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.

The Universities Deceive When They Say They Have No Agenda Other Than To Open Minds.

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

Obviously, The Issue For The Left Isn't Aging White Males; It Is Conservatives, Whether They Are Young Or Old, White Or Nonwhite, Male Or Female. If Female Aborigines Were Conservative, The Left Would Have A Problem With Female Aborigines.

I Do Think That The Badmouthing And Alienating Of A Child From A Parent Is One Of The Few Unforgivable Sins. I Do Think Those People Will Have To Answer To God Who Will Say, “you Allowed Your Anger To Destroy The Relationship Of Your Child To The Other Parent? Isn't That Why I Gave You A Conscience?

Unforgivable Sin

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.

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 Words 'i'm Sorry' Are So Powerful That It's Almost Difficult To Overstate

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

Take Care Of Your Kid's Character, And Everything Will Follow After That. Character Is Everything

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.

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

Virtually Nothing Barack Obama Has Done Has Left America Or The World Better Since He Became President. Nearly Everything He Has Touched Has Been Made Worse.

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

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.

Not Everyone Wants To Be Happy

Want To Be Happy

The Left Corrupts Everything It Touches

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.

The Fact Is That Not Only Do People Get More Wise And More Conservative As They Get Older, They Get More Kind And More Generous, Too.

Hillary Clinton Is Unworthy Of Being The President Of The United States; She Has Done Nothing Important That Is Good

Since Neither Black Animosity Nor The Left's Falsehood Of 'racial Tensions' Is Based On The Actual Behavior Of The Vast Majority Of White Americans, Nothing White America Could Do Will Affect Either Many Blacks' Perceptions Or The Leftist Libel.

Has Feminism Increased The Pool Of Happy Women?

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

Just About Every Generation Has Some Horrific Evil That It Must Fight. For The Democratic Party Today That Evil Is Carbon Dioxide Emissions. For The Rest Of Us, It Is An Ideology That Teaches That Its Deity Is Sanctified By The Blood Of Innocents.

The Sad Fact Is That If You Love Education, Revere The Life Of The Mind, Care About The Pursuit Of Truth, Think Young People Need To Receive Wisdom From Their Elders, And Value Moral Clarity, The University Is The Last Place You Would Want To Send Your 18-year-old.

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.

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

Every Poll About The Left, The Right, And Happiness Reveals That The Farther Left One Goes, The Less Happy The Person Is Likely To Be.

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.

With The Demise Of The Biblical Religions That Have Provided The American People With Their Core Values Since Their Country's Inception, We Are Reverting To The Pagan Worldview. Trees And Animals Are Venerated, While Man Is Simply One More Animal In The Ecosystem - And Largely A Hindrance, Not An Asset.

Since The 1970s, I Have Asked Students If They Would First Try To Save Their Drowning Dog Or A Drowning Stranger. And For 40 Years I Have Received The Same Results: One Third Vote For Their Dog, One Third For The Stranger, And One Third Don't Know What They Would Do.

Leftism Has Influenced The Literary, Academic, Media, And, Therefore, The Political Elite Far More Than Any Other Religion. It Has Taken Over Western Schools From Elementary Through Graduate.

An Unhappy Life Is A Life Not Lived.

I Prefer Clarity Over Agreement

The Left Needs Causes Like Fish Need Water

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

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.

Nothing Enables People To Do Evil As Much As Does A Sense Of Victimhood

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

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

Self-control Is The Only Possible Road To Character Development

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

Climate Change Is The Mother Of All Hysterias Of The Left

If We Weren't Born With Anti-social Passions - Narcissism, Envy, Lust, Meanness, Greed, Hunger For Power, Just To Name The More Obvious - Why The Need For So Many Laws, Whether Religious Or Secular, That Govern Behavior?

Complaining Not Only Ruins Everybody Else's Day, It Ruins The Complainer's Day, Too. The More We Complain, The More Unhappy We Get.

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.

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.

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

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.

There Is An Authoritarian Strain In All Of Leftism-- Because The Bigger The Government, The More It Controls Other Peoples' Lives

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

The Bigger The State, The Smaller The Citizen

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.

If The 1,990-page House Health Care Bill Becomes Law, The Average American Will Receive Worse Health Care, American Physicians Will Decline In Status And Income, American Medical Innovation Will Dramatically Slow Down And Pharmaceutical Discoveries Will Decline In Number And Quality. And, Of Course, The Economy Of The United States Will Deteriorate, Perhaps Permanently.

If You Really Do Hate Evil, You Can't Hate Anything Else

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.

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

Proponents Of Same-sex Marriage Regularly Label Opponents 'radical' And 'extremist.' However, Given That No Society In Thousands Of Years Has Allowed Same-sex Marriage, It Is, By Definition, The Proponents Of Same-sex Marriage Whose Position Is Radical And Extreme.

Expectations Can Ruin Your Chances For Happiness

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

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.

The Obama Administration Will Never Say 'radical Islam.' Never.

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

By Definition, The Moment One Crosses From Center To Left, One Accepts More Government Control Of People's Lives. Therefore, The Further Left Society Moves, The More There Is Government Control Over Its Citizens' Lives. It Is Astonishing That This Obvious Fact Is Not Universally Acknowledged And That The Left Has Somehow Successfully Portrayed Itself As Preoccupied With Personal Liberty.

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

American Values

Complaining Is Never Powerful Because At The Root Of A Complaint Is Powerlessness

Most Blacks Want School Vouchers, But Most Liberals Vehemently Oppose Them. Why? Because What Is Good For Teachers' Unions Is Of More Importance To The Left Than What Is Good For Blacks. Who, Then, Is Racist? By Their Own Admission, And By The Policies They Pursue, The Answer Is The People Who Call Themselves Progressive.

The God Of Compassion Is Not The God Of Justice.

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

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

Each Of Us Owes It To Our Spouse, Our Children, Our Friends, To Be As Happy As We Can Be. And If You Don't Believe Me, Ask A Child What It's Like To Grow Up With An Unhappy Parent, Or Ask Parents What They Suffer If They Have An Unhappy Child.

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

Those Who Do Not Confront Evil Resent Those Who Do.

To Understand The Left, One Must Understand That In Its View The Greatest Evil Is Material Inequality. The Left Is More Troubled By Economic Inequality Than By Evil As Humanity Has Generally Understood The Term.

Economic Inequality

Two Of The Many Areas Of Conflict Between Judeo-christian Values And Leftism Concern The Separation Between The Holy And The Profane And The Separation Between Humans And Animals.

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.

America Derives Its Laws From Its Constitution. It Derives Its Values From The Bible. We Don't Get Inalienable Rights From The Constitution; We Get Them From God.

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

Political Correctness Is The The Inability To State Certain Truths Because They May Offend Certain People

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.

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.

The Entire European Union Is A Left-wing Dream

A Lot Of Women Do A Lot Of Harm Because They Don't Control Their Emotions. But In Terms Of Violence, Men Seem To Have A Monopoly

Although Images Of Perfection In People's Personal Lives Can Cause Unhappiness, Images Of Perfect Societies - Utopian Images - Can Cause Monstrous Evil. In Fact, Forcefully Changing Society To Conform To Societal Images Was The Greatest Cause Of Evil In The Twentieth Century.

Chechnya Is A Pressure Cooker Of Islamist Anger

Yet, While Producing Increasingly Selfish People, The Mantra Of The Left, And Therefore Of The Universities And The Media, Has Been For Generations That Capitalism And The Free Market, Not The Welfare State, Produces Selfish People.

All Of The Goodness In The World Doesn't Amount To A Hill Of Beans Without Courage

The Welfare State Is Predicate Don Collecting Money From Today's Workers In Order To Pay For Those Who Paid In Before Them. But Today's Workers Don't Have Enough Money To Sustain The Scheme, And There Are Too Few Of Them To Do So. As A Result, Virtually Every Welfare State In Europe, And Many American States, Like California Are Going Broke.

The Left Will Destroy What Is Good To Try To Make What Is Perfect. That Is The Motto Of The Left

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.

Libertarians Should Say, 'i Love This Country Too Much To Take Away Votes From The Republican'

Socialism Values Equality More Than Liberty.

Courage Is The Rarest Of All Good Traits

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.

There Are Surely Times When A Conservative And A Liberal Would Agree. We Would Agree On How Moral It Is To Discriminate On The Basis Of Race. There's Absolutely No Light Between Those Two Positions. It Becomes A Little More Complex When You Talk About Law As Opposed To Morality.

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.

Happiness Is Not So Much A Feeling As It Is An Attitude

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

I Have Long Believed That What Most Affects A Child Is Not The Divorce, Per Se, But How It Is Handled

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

If There Is No God, The Labels 'good' And 'evil' Are Merely Opinions. They Are Substitutes For 'i Like It' And 'i Don't Like It.' They Are Not Objective Realities.

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

Universities Are Seminaries To Produce Leftists

Citizens Of Liberal Welfare States Become Increasingly Narcissistic. The Great Preoccupations Of Vast Numbers Of Brits, Frenchmen, Germans And Other Western Europeans Are How Much Vacation Time They Will Have An How Early They Can Retire And Be Supported By The State.

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

Where Are The Vehicles To Character Development In Secular Society?

Secular Society

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.

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.

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

Our Only Hope For America Is That Every Conservative Takes Upon Him Or Herself The Project Of Learning What American And Conservative Values Are, Coming To Understand What Leftism Stands For, And Learning How To Make The Case For Those Values To Women, Young People, Blacks And Hispanics.

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.

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.

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.

More Harm Was Done In The 20th Century By Faceless Bureaucrats Than Tyrant Dictators.

In Attempting To Understand 9/11, The First Question Asked By The World's Elites - As Exemplified By Leading Media And Academics - Was, 'what Did America Do To Provoke Such Hatred?' Ten Years Later, The Same People Are Still Asking The Same Question. And It Is As Morally Repulsive Now As It Was Then. It Was Always On Par With 'what Did The Jews Do To Antagonize The Germans? Or 'what Did Blacks Do To Enrage Lynch Mobs?'

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

It Is Extremely Difficult To Do Anything Constructive, Let Alone Deep, On Daily Commercial Television, Especially On A Talk Show.

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.

Moral Obligation

If The United States Doesn't Lead Then Evil Triumphs

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

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

We Are Undermining A Generation's Happiness By Depriving Them Of National Identity, Religious Identity, And Gender Identity

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

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

Most Evil Comes From The Belief That One Is A Victim, Or One's Group Is A Victim

A Decent Person Does Not Alienate Children From A Parent, No Matter How Angry They Are At The Parent For The Divorce. It's Unfair To The Children, And It's Unfair To The Other Human Being

Liberalism Means Well, But It Destroys

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 Evidence In This Universe For Design - Or, If You Will, The Fine-tuning That Cannot Be Explained By Chance Or By 'enough Time' - Is So Compelling That The Only Way Around It Is To Suggest That Our Universe Is Only One Of An Infinite Number Of Universes.

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

No American Conservative Has Ever Argued That The Government Should Never Be Involved In Peoples' Lives. That Is Anarchy, And We Don't Argue For That.

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

Given The Amount Of Unjust Suffering And Unhappiness In The World, I Am Deeply Grateful For, Sometimes Even Perplexed By, How Much Misery I Have Been Spared.

Repetition Is The Mother Of Pedagogy

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.

Compassion Without Wisdom Is Dangerous. It's What Enables People To Support The 'underdog,' Even If The Underdog Is Evil

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

When America Doesn't Act, Bad Things Happen

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.

Africans Who Immigrate To America Know How Little Racism Exists There. They Suspect It Before Emigrating From Africa, And They Know It After Arriving In America. Indeed, America, The Left's Depiction Of It Notwithstanding, Is The Least Racist Country In The World.
