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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

It Is A World Of Lies That Permeates The Left

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.

We Conservatives Fight Evil; The Left Fights Carbon Emissions

Carbon Emissions

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.

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.

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

First Tell The Truth, Then Give Your Opinion.

You're 'wealthy' If You Don't Worry

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

The Bigger The Government, The Greater The Corruption

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Carbon Emissions

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

If You Really Do Hate Evil, You Can't Hate Anything Else

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Unconditional Love

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Not Everyone Wants To Be Happy

Want To Be Happy

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

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 Has Never Been Comfortable With The Notion That Values Are More Determinitive Than Socioeconomic Factors In Human Behavior

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 Easily Embarrassed Doesn't Learn

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 Only Thing Socialists Produce Is Debt And Self-esteem

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

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.

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

The Further Left You Go, The Meaner The Spirit

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.

Lying To The Left Is Like Water To Fish

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

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.

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 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.

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.

Big Government Squashes The Human Spirit

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.

Secularism Produces A Bored Soul

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 . . .

Universities Are Seminaries To Produce Leftists

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

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

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.

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

Congratulations

Self-control Is The Only Possible Road To Character Development

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.

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

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

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

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

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 Rarest Of The Good Qualities In Human Beings Is Courage

If Pain Were Water, The World Would Drown

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

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.

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

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.

Enough Generations Of Socialist Policies Have Now Passed For Us To Judge Their Effects. They Are Bleak. Socialism Undermines The Character Of A Nation And Of Its Citizens. In Simpler Words, Socialism Makes People Worse.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Those Of You Who Love The Lord Should Hate Evil

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

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

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.
