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

It Does Not Matter What Position You Take On The Left, You Are Safe And Secure. But That Is Not At All The Case For Positions That The Right Take On. You Are Not Safe And Secure, So You Travel With Bodyguards

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.

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.

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

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 Welfare State May Be Well-intentioned, But It Is A Ponzi Scheme

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Good And Happy People Who Believe In God Are The Greatest Living Arguments For God's Existence

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's A Lot More Power In Calm Than In Vituperation.

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

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.

Happy Disposition

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.

Happiness Is A Moral Obligation

Moral Obligation

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

Compromise, While At Times Morally Necessary Or At Least Justifiable, Is More Often Only The First Permission For A Person (or Society) To Begin A Long Downhill Descent.

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

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

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

The Vote, Punishment... These Ideas Are Anathema To The Liberal Mind

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.

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.

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.

Where Are The Vehicles To Character Development In Secular Society?

The Bigger The Government, The Greater The Corruption

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.

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

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

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

Finding Patterns Is The Essence Of Wisdom

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

If You Inflict Your Unhappiness Onto Others, It Is Sinful

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.

It Is No Longer Higher Education, It Is Higher 'indoctrination '

Higher Education

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

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.

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

Negative People

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

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

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?

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

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.

Only A Fool Can Believe People Are Basically Good

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.

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.

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

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.

For The Left, Affluence Is Won, Not Earned.

Courage Is The Rarest Of All Good Traits

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

I Just Don't Understand Why The Idea Of The Universe Creating Itself Is A Rational One

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

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

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.

Repetition Is The Mother Of Pedagogy

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.

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 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

The Left Is Totalitarian In Its Nature

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

First Tell The Truth, Then Give Your Opinion.

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

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

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

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

Not Everyone Wants To Be Happy

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

If Pain Were Water, The World Would Drown

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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?'

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

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

Please Understand What The Irs Scandal Is About: Using The Government To Shut Down Opponents

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.

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

Self-control Is The Only Possible Road To Character Development

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.

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

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

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

The Easily Embarrassed Doesn't Learn

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.

The United States Of America Is A Flawed Society. As It Comprises Human Beings, It Must Be Flawed. But In Terms Of The Goodness Achieved Inside Its Borders And Spread Elsewhere In The World, It Has Been The Finest Country That Ever Existed. If You Were To Measure The Moral Gulf Between America And Those Who Despise It, The Divide Would Have To Be Calculated In Light-years.

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 . . .

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.

Socialism Values Equality More Than Liberty.

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

America Became A Great Civilization Thanks To A Culture Based On The Value Of Having To Earn Almost Everything An American Got In Life. As It Abandons This Value, It Will Become A Mediocre Civilization. And Eventually It Will Not Be America. It Will Be A Large Sweden, And Just As Influential As The Smaller One.

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

Unconditional Love

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Utopian Movements Produce Dystopias.

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 Neither Cares About Prosperity Nor Jobs. It Cares About Equality

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Universities Are Seminaries To Produce Leftists

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.

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

Congratulations

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

To Say Murder Is Wrong Is As Much A Statement Of Faith As 'i Believe That God Said Murder Is Wrong' Is A Statement Of Faith

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

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

Climate Change Is The Mother Of All Hysterias Of The Left

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.

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

Has Feminism Increased The Pool Of Happy Women?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

The Fact Is That, Except For Those Very Few Whose Wealth Is Overwhelmingly Or Entirely Inherited, The More Affluent Have Usually Worked Harder Than The Less Affluent.

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