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.

The More We Complain, The More Unhappy We Get

The Further Left You Go, The Meaner The Spirit

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.

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

Happy Disposition

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Climate Change Is The Mother Of All Hysterias Of The Left

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Men Feel More Bereft Without A Woman Than Women Will Feel Bereft Without A Man

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Happiness Is Impossible Without Gratitude.

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 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.

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?'

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.

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.

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?

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

I Believe That The Levels Of Taxation Advocated By Liberals Render Those Taxes A Veiled Form Of Theft. 'give Me More Than Half Of Your Honestly Earned Money Or You Will Be Arrested' Is Legalized Thievery.

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

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.

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.

I Have Spent A Good Part Of My Life Showing What An Intellectual Bubble The Left Lives In.

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

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.

Ungrateful People

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

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 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.

The More Passions You Have The Happier You'll Be

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.

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

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.

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

Higher Education

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.

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.

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

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

If Pain Were Water, The World Would Drown

Lies And Victimhood Make Evil Possible

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Socialism Values Equality More Than Liberty.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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
