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.

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

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 More We Complain, The More Unhappy We Get

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

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

If They [liberals] Didn't Believe We Were Mean Spirited They Couldn't Stay Liberal. They Have To Believe They Mean Better Than Us, But We Don't Have To Believe That We Mean Better Than Them. We Have To Believe That We Do Better Than Them. We Measure Morality By What Happens Not What Is Intended.

The 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.

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.

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.

When I See The Mostly Young People Of Occupy Wall Street - A Mixture Of The Bored, The Nihilistic, The Seekers Of Excitement, The Left-wing True Believers, The Confused Idealists And Those Hoping To Engage In Violence - Railing Against The Rich Capitalists On Wall Street, I Get Worried. Because The Hatred They Express Toward The Rich Is Similar To That Expressed Against The Rich By Stalin, Mao And Pol Pot. Of Course, These People Are Not Comparable To Those Killers. But Class Hatred Must Lead To Bad Things. That Is Why President Obama Is Playing With Fire With His Attacks On The Rich.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Happiness Is A Moral Obligation

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

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

It Is Easier To Take A Position In The Abstract Than When It Hits Home.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Once Enough Americans Reacquaint Themselves With Americanism, We Should Promote It To All Countries Just As The Left Promotes Leftism And Muslims Promote Islam. One Need Not Be American To Affirm Americanism.

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.

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

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.' -

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

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

Finding Patterns Is The Essence Of Wisdom

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

The God Of Compassion Is Not The God Of Justice.

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.

Secularism Produces A Bored Soul

The Bigger The State, The Smaller The Citizen

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

If The United States Doesn't Lead Then Evil Triumphs

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.

American Is Deteriorating Because It Is Becoming Like Other Countries

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

When America Doesn't Act, Bad Things Happen

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

If Pain Were Water, The World Would Drown

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Negative People

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

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

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.

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

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

The Only Difference Between Your Local College And A Christian Seminary Is That The Latter Is More Honest.

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

The Further Left You Go, The Meaner The Spirit

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.

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

First Tell The Truth, Then Give Your Opinion.

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.

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.

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.

Not Everyone Wants To Be Happy

Want To Be Happy

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.

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

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

How A Society Channels Male Aggression Is One Of The Greatest Questions As To Whether That Society Will Survive. That's Why I Am Not Against Violence In The Media, I Am Against The Glorification Of Immoral Violence.

Against Violence

Lying To The Left Is Like Water To Fish

Lies And Victimhood Make Evil Possible

Let Us Make War On The Phrase 'violence Doesn't Solve Anything.' It Is A Lie, And Anyone Who Utters It Cannot Be Taken Morally Seriously.

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?

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.

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

The Left Is Doing To America What It Has Done To Almost Everything It Has Deeply Influenced - The Arts, The University, Religion, Culture, Minorities, Europe: Ruining It.

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

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

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.

Where Are The Vehicles To Character Development In Secular Society?

Secular Society

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.

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

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.

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

Chechnya Is A Pressure Cooker Of Islamist Anger

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.

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.

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 Muslim World Is Threatened By Religious Fanaticism. The Western World Is Threatened By Secular Fanaticism.

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

Universities Are Seminaries To Produce Leftists

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.

Liberalism Means Well, But It Destroys

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

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.

The Only Thing Socialists Produce Is Debt And Self-esteem

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.

The Entire European Union Is A Left-wing Dream

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.

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.

Having Travelled To Some 20 African Countries, I Find Myself, Like So Many Other Visitors To Africa Before Me, Intoxicated With The Continent. And I Am Not Referring To The Animals, As Much As I Have Been Enthralled By Them During Safaris In Kenya, Tanzania And Zimbabwe. Rather, I Am Referring To The African Peoples.

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

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.

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

The Left Is Totalitarian In Its Nature

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.

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.

Utopian Movements Produce Dystopias.

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.

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

Happiness Is Impossible Without Gratitude.

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.

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

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.

The Biggest Battle In Life Is With Yourself

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

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

The Left Needs Causes Like Fish Need Water

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.

I Prefer Clarity Over Agreement

If The West Believed In Something, It Would Prevail Overnight. The Problem Is You Can't Beat Bad Faith With No Faith.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

The '60s Redefined Narcissism As Idealism.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
