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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Has Feminism Increased The Pool Of Happy Women?

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

When Emotions Dominate, Maturity And Wisdom Deteriorate

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

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.

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

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

The Left Needs Causes Like Fish Need Water

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 Bigger The State, The Smaller The Citizen

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.

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

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.'

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.

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

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

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

Higher Education

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?'

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

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

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.

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

Happiness Is A Moral Obligation

Moral Obligation

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Want To Raise Children Who Will Be Happy Adults? Teach Them Not To Whine.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Choosing To Be Grateful Earns You Happiness

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.

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

Universities Are Seminaries To Produce Leftists

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

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

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

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

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 Corrupts Everything It Touches

Expectations Can Ruin Your Chances For Happiness

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

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.

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

Congratulations

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 United States Is The Single Greatest Force For Good In The World

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.

The More Passions You Have The Happier You'll Be

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.

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.

The Bigger The Government, The Greater The Corruption

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.

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.

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

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.

Only A Fool Can Believe People Are Basically Good

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 . . .

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.

Those Of You Who Love The Lord Should Hate Evil

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

There Is No Happiness That Isn't Earned

Leftism And Narcissism Are Almost Synonymous

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?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Life Is Too Short

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).

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.

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

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

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

The Only Thing Socialists Produce Is Debt And Self-esteem

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

Repetition Is The Mother Of Pedagogy

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Self-control Is The Only Possible Road To Character Development

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

The Further Left You Go, The Meaner The Spirit

Lies And Victimhood Make Evil Possible

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

Unconditional Love

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 God Of Compassion Is Not The God Of Justice.

If The United States Doesn't Lead Then Evil Triumphs

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

American Is Deteriorating Because It Is Becoming Like Other Countries

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

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

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

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?'

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Liberalism Means Well, But It Destroys

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Lying To The Left Is Like Water To Fish

The Next Time Your Daughter Asks, 'where Are All The Men?' Tell Them That The Democratic Party And Its Policies Got Rid Of Them'

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.

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

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

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 Easily Embarrassed Doesn't Learn

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

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

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

Chechnya Is A Pressure Cooker Of Islamist Anger

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

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.

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

It Is A World Of Lies That Permeates The Left

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.

Badmouthing Your Ex-spouse Rips The Child Apart

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 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.

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.

If You Ask What's Best For The Country, Vote Republican. If You Ask How Will You Get More Money From The Government, Vote Democrat

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

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

When America Doesn't Act, Bad Things Happen

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

The Left Is Totalitarian In Its Nature

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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