Complexity And Profundity Have Been Equated By The Academic Culture Just As Fame And Significance Have Been Conflated By The Popular Culture. Fame And Significance Have Nothing To Do With One Another; And Complexity And Profundity Have Nothing To Do With One Another.

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.

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.

The Easily Embarrassed Doesn't Learn

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.

Citizens Of Liberal Welfare States Become Increasingly Narcissistic

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.

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

Happiness Is A Moral Obligation

Moral Obligation

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

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

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.

The Idea That You Earn Things - That You Earn Respect, That You Earn Income, Responsibility. The Vote, Punishment... These Ideas Are Anathema To The Liberal Mind.

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.

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

Climate Change Is The Mother Of All Hysterias Of The Left

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.

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

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

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.

When Emotions Dominate, Maturity And Wisdom Deteriorate

The Left Is Totalitarian In Its Nature

Lies And Victimhood Make Evil Possible

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.

Repetition Is The Mother Of Pedagogy

It Does Say Something About A Society When Those Who Sue Physicians And Hospitals Make As Much Or More Money Than Those Who Heal Disease. It Says Something About A Society When It Glorifies And Rewards Those Who Litigate While It Demonizes And Punishes Those Who Produce The Drugs And Devices That Keep It Citizens Alive And Well.

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.

Universities Are Seminaries To Produce Leftists

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.

When Jews Left Judaism, They Didn't Stop Being Religious. They Simply Swapped God-based Judaism For Godless Secular Humanism And Leftism. For Left-wing Jews, Judaism Is Their Ethnicity; Leftism Is Their Religion.

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 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.

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

Nothing Guarantees More The Erosion Of Character Than Getting Something For Nothing

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Is There A Point Of Taxation Wherein Even A Democrat Would Acknowledge It Is Thievery By The Government?

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

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.

I Recall Asking The Late Eminent Liberal Historian Arthur Schlesinger, In A Public Forum In Los Angeles In The Late 1970s, If He Would Say That America Was, All Things Considered, A Better, I.e., More Moral, Society Than Soviet Society. He Said He Would Not.

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

Negative People

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

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 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.

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

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

To Call Yourself A Socialist In 2015 Is To Be An Idiot. Socialism Fails. Everywhere.

Has Feminism Increased The Pool Of Happy Women?

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

The '60s Redefined Narcissism As Idealism.

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

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

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.

When Watching 'the Passion,' Jews And Christians Are Watching Two Entirely Different Films. For Two Hours, Christians Watch Their Savior Tortured And Killed. For The Same Two Hours, Jews Watch Jews Arrange The Killing And Torture Of The Christians' Savior.

An Unhappy Life Is A Life Not Lived.

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.

You Know What I Ask Jewish Liberals? 'why Don't You Preach What You Practice?'

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.

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

Those Who Do Not Confront Evil Resent Those Who Do.

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

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.

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.

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

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

The Biggest Obstacle To People Becoming Better Is That You Have To Really Want To Be A Good Person In Order To Be A Better Person, And Most People Would Rather Be Other Things.

Becoming Better

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.

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.

Socialism Values Equality More Than Liberty.

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.

Choosing To Be Grateful Earns You Happiness

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

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

If We Continue To Teach About Tolerance And Intolerance Instead Of Good And Evil, We Will End Up With Tolerance Of Evil.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Whatever One Does For A Living, Three Questions Need To Be Confronted Before It Is Too Late: What Really Matters To Me? What Price Do My Spouse And Kids Pay For My Career Success? What Price Does My Soul Pay?

The Left Corrupts Everything It Touches

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 Libertarian Party Is A Shameful Party

Libertarian Party

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

Leftism And Narcissism Are Almost Synonymous

If Pain Were Water, The World Would Drown

Liberals Tend To Put The Onus Of Your Success On Society And Conservatives On You And Your Family.

Congratulations

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

Not Everyone Wants To Be Happy

Want To Be Happy

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 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.

Chechnya Is A Pressure Cooker Of Islamist Anger

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.

The Left Needs Causes Like Fish Need Water

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Lying To The Left Is Like Water To Fish

It Is A Lie That America Is Racist

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?

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.

Tell Me Of A Right Wing-induced Hysteria Of The Last 50 Years

The Bigger The Government, The Less The Citizens Do For One Another. If The State Will Take Care Of Me And My Neighbors, Why Should I? This Is Why Western Europeans, People Who Have Lived In Welfare States Far Longer Than Americans Have, Give Less To Charity And Volunteer Less Time To Others Than Do Americans Of The Same Socioeconomic Status.

Self-control Is The Only Possible Road To Character Development

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.

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

The Bigger The Government, The Greater The Corruption

Big Government Squashes The Human Spirit

When Women Criticize Men It's Called Feminism. When Men Criticize Women It's Called Misogyny

One Of The Great Mind Destroyers Of College Education Is The Belief That If It's Very Complex, It's Very Profound.

The Election, And Even The Re-election, Of A Black Man As President, In A Country That Is 87 Percent Non-black - A First In Human History - Has Had No Impact On What Are Called 'racial Tensions.'

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

If You Inflict Your Unhappiness Onto Others, It Is Sinful

Those Of You Who Love The Lord Should Hate Evil

Liberalism Means Well, But It Destroys

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

That's A Phenomenon Of The Left: You Don't Fight Evil. You Fight Carbon Emissions

Carbon Emissions

The Problem For The Left, However, Is That The Moment It Stops Painting The Right As Vile, It Has To Argue The Issues.

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

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

For The Left, Affluence Is Won, Not Earned.

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

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

American Values

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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?'

The More We Complain, The More Unhappy We Get

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.

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.

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

I Prefer Clarity Over Agreement

There Is No Happiness That Isn't Earned

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 Further Left You Go, The Meaner The Spirit

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

Those Who Are Compassionate When They Should Be Tough Will Be Tough When They Should Be Compassionate.

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

In Various European Countries, It Is Increasingly Common For Young Men To Live With Their Parents Into Their 30s And Even Longer. Why Not? In The Welfare State, There Is No Shame In Doing So.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

The Rarest Of The Good Qualities In Human Beings Is Courage

Every Age Has Found Some Alternative To American Values Appealing. The Number Of Western Intellectuals Enamored Of Fascism And All The Various Expressions Of Marxism Was Legion.

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

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.

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

All Of Creation, In The Biblical View, Was To Ultimately Prepare The Way For The Creation Of Man. But One Does Not Need The Bible Alone To Hold This View. A Purely Scientific Reading Of The Universe Is In Keeping With This View. Everything - Every Natural And Physical Law - Is Exquisitely Tuned To Produce Life, And Ultimately Man, On Earth.

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.

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.

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

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

Life Is Too Short

Many Liberals Believe In God; Many Conservatives Do. What Matters Is Not Whether People Believe In God But What Text, If Any, They Believe To Be Divine. Those Who Believe That He Has Spoken Through A Given Text Will Generally Think Differently From Those Who Believe That No Text Is Divine. Such People Will Usually Get Their Values From Other Texts, Or More Likely From Their Conscience And Heart.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Our Youth [with Their Overwhelming Support Of Obama] Are Voting For A Permanent Tax On Their Life

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