More From Dennis Prager

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.'

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.

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

The Great Are Not Famous, And The Famous Are Not Great

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.

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

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

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

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.

Every Person Who Speaks Or Writes For The Public Will Make An Occasional Faux Pas, And Sooner Or Later Will Write Or Say Something Inappropriate.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

The Libertarian Party Is A Shameful Party

Libertarian Party

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Repetition Is The Mother Of Pedagogy

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

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.

American Is Deteriorating Because It Is Becoming Like Other Countries

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.

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

Leftism And Narcissism Are Almost Synonymous

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.

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

It Is Scary To Live In The Obama Era With Its Use Of Government To Suppress Dissent

It Is A Lie That America Is Racist

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

Higher Education

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Badmouthing Your Ex-spouse Rips The Child Apart

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

Secularism Produces A Bored Soul

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.

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

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

American Values

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

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

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.

The Bigger The Government, The Greater The Corruption

When Emotions Dominate, Maturity And Wisdom Deteriorate

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Citizens Of Liberal Welfare States Become Increasingly Narcissistic

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.

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.

There Is No Apology From Any Muslim Leader For All The Massacres Of Christians

You Owe Others A Happy Disposition

Happy Disposition

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

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.

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

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.

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.

It Is A World Of Lies That Permeates 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?

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

There Is Little Correlation Between The Circumstances Of People's Lives And How Happy They Are.

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

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

The State Of Europe Is So Bad That I Cannot See Any Future In Europe Other Than Its Islamization Or A Civil War

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 Rarest Of The Good Qualities In Human Beings Is Courage

If You Inflict Your Unhappiness Onto Others, It Is Sinful

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 Left Is Totalitarian In Its Nature

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

Negative People

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.

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

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

Most Young People Have Tremendous Respect For Older People's Views.

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

The More Passions You Have The Happier You'll Be

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

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

Carbon Emissions

The Left Corrupts Everything It Touches

We Conservatives Fight Evil; The Left Fights Carbon Emissions

Carbon Emissions

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

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

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

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

First Tell The Truth, Then Give Your Opinion.

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

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.

The Left Needs Causes Like Fish Need Water

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.

Where Are The Vehicles To Character Development In Secular Society?

Secular Society

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Congratulations

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

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

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.

Lies And Victimhood Make Evil Possible

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.

Universities Are Seminaries To Produce Leftists

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.

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

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.

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

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

The Biggest Battle In Life Is With Yourself

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

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

The God Of Compassion Is Not The God Of Justice.

Socialism Values Equality More Than Liberty.

Climate Change Is The Mother Of All Hysterias Of The Left

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 . . .

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Without Aging White Males, I Doubt The 'new York Times' Would Survive. How Many Young People, Females, Hispanics And Blacks Subscribe To The 'new York Times?'

Courage Is The Rarest Of All Good Traits

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Those Of Us Have Minimized Expectations Walk Around With A Greater Sense Of Thankfulness (because So Many Wonderful Things That We Didn't Expect Come Our Way Each Day).

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.

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

I Prefer Clarity Over Agreement

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

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

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 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.

Nothing More Guarantees The Erosion Of Character Than Getting Something For Nothing. In The Liberal Welfare State, One Develops An Entitlement Mentality. And The Rhetoric Of Liberalism - Labeling Each New Entitlement A 'right Reinforces This Sense Of Entitlement.' -

Not Everyone Wants To Be Happy

Want To Be Happy

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 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.

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

Happiness Is Impossible Without Gratitude.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

There Is Much Less Envy Of The Rich By The Poor Than There Is Of The Happy By The Unhappy; By Those Who Believe, By Those Who Don't Believe.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Doing Well Is A Conservative Idea; Meaning Well Is A Liberal Idea

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

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

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.

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.
