This is an insightful
piece. It provide a good explanation of the divisive gap between the
political left and right. Quote: "Conservatives care about logic.
Liberals care about emotion. Conservatives care about whether a program
works or not. Liberals care about how supporting a program makes them
feel. Conservatives take the positions they do because they believe
they’re best for society. Liberals take the positions they do because
they make them feel and look compassionate or superior to hold those
positions.
Once you understand those
basics, it’s very easy to see why both sides hold the positions they do
on most issues and to comprehend why there’s so little middle ground.
Once you get the mentalities, you can predict where each side will come
down on issues." http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2016/06/04/why-liberals-are-so-obsessed-with-racism-homosexuality-and-transsexualism-n2173342?
Food for thought. Quote:
"Unbeknownst to the vast majority of Americans who go about their lives
in a zombified state existing somewhere between clueless and
misinformed, right now figurative lines in the sand are being drawn, and
both sides are digging in for the fight of our lifetime. Will the
United States remain a free republic with even an inkling of the rights
our Founders envisioned for us, or will the country inevitably fall to
socialism first, and eventually transform into a totalitarian state?
Nothing would please the political class more than to have the latter
prevail, but to accomplish that, first free speech must be stomped out.
The weapon of choice being used today by liberty’s greatest enemy is
“political correctness.” There is an enormous movement afoot both in
Europe, and here at home domestically, for all the social media giants
to stomp out what "they" are referring to as “hate speech.” Define
“Hate Speech”: That which does not conform with liberal ideology." And,
"Earlier this summer, with very little attention from American media
(shock, right?), social media giants including Facebook, Twitter,
YouTube and Microsoft, officially partnered with the European Commission
in order to crack down on free speech by banning “alternative media”
from their platforms. When the European Commission announced their
partnership with the social media giants, it ordered each of them to
begin completely eliminating “hate speech” and “counter-narratives” from
the internet." http://freedomoutpost.com/new-thought-police-unit-armed-with-own-budget-and-re-education-camps/
Insight worth reading.
Quote: "This totalitarian attack on academic freedom and free speech has
now become routine in America’s socialist indoctrination academies, who
have adopted the advice of the old Marxist Herbert Marcuse, who began
arguing in the 1960s that only “the oppressed” in society deserve free
speech. Allowing “the oppressors” to speak freely only exacerbates the
amount of “oppression” in society. A devoted communist, Marcuse wanted
to ban all criticisms of communism on college campuses, and he has
succeeded to a very large extent. There are
islands of sanity in the sea of insanity that is the American academic
world. Economic departments tend to be not quite as crazy as some other
disciplines, and if your son or daughter is a serious engineering or
pre-med student, he or she will spend less time being brainwashed by
leftists who dominate the social sciences and the humanities. Even so,
they will most likely be treated like skunks at a picnic if they voice
“politically incorrect” opinions to their classmates." https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/08/thomas-dilorenzo/beware-academic-zika-virus/
Wake up folks!!! This is a
good discussion and I think proper analysis of why so many difficulties
are eating away at the very fabric of our country. Quote: "As God is
taken out or denied in our society, we’re no longer trying to fight our
sinful nature. Instead we welcome it. Has America become freer and more
independent as a result? We may fight religion. We may fight God. But we
cannot fight the fact that America is becoming more obsessively
government-controlled. And as we’re already seeing, governmental fiat is
a very poor replacement for godly self-control." http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/disregard-god-and-violence-results/
Far too many will likely reject this analysis but when the facts are
examined it is hard to refute. Do not reject it out of hand. Think
about it. Intense in depth consideration will likely result in the
credence it deserves. Furthermore, real history, not the
liberal/secular humanist/progressive revised version, is on its side.
Please folks, we must start fighting against the evil that is destroying
us as a people and our nation. A return to Godliness is our ticket to a
brighter future.
Parents and grandparents
need to read this!!! Quote: "An elementary school in Albuquerque, NM
has a new policy to go along with the new school year. Just in case kids
are gender confused, teachers are no longer allowed to address children
as “boys and girls.”
After the Bathroom
Hullabaloo of 2016, you would have thought that things might settle down
and we could go about our business, peeing wherever we want to pee and
that would be that. But no. No, now children as young as kindergarten
age are being taught in classrooms in which teachers have been ordered
to “eliminate gender.” According to a local report:
A letter was sent to teachers at Carlos Rey this month titled “Gender
Identity Procedural Directive.” It tells teachers they can no longer
refer to their students as boys and girls, and they are to eliminate
gender in their classrooms. Amazon is loaded with 16 pages of books for
gender-confused children." This is an example of how leftist attempt
to unethically manipulate and using unscientific trash to confuse, no
abuse, children." This is a really, really bad thing they are doing.
It makes me see red. https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/08/daisy-luther/mandated-gender-confusion/
Another reminder that
despite the left's incessant harping on how great socialism is, it is
not so. The piece should open the eyes of those who think that
socialism works in Nordic countries. It says not so and explains why.
Quote: "Sanandaji, president of the think tank European Centre for
Entrepreneurship and Policy Reform, dismantles the case for social
democracy in his brand-new book “Debunking Utopia: Exposing the Myth of Nordic Socialism.”
He shared some of his research with his Cato Institute audience.
Before the Social Democrats came to power in Sweden, the country had the
highest economic growth rate in the industrialized world. However,
after the Social Democratic Party started dominating Swedish politics,
the growth rate slowed to a mediocre level. Denmark saw a similar
slowdown of growth after Social Democrats took over the country. When
the Great Depression struck the world in the 1930s, it hit the Nordic
nations especially hard because they were dependent on trade, according
to Sanandaji. However, the Nordic countries never had an American-style
New Deal. Their governments did not try to fix every problem. Sanandaji
presented a graph showing job creation in Sweden predictably went down
during the Depression but bounced back quickly afterward. This was at a
time when taxes were low, the welfare state was small and markets were
freer." And, "If Nordic success does not derive from social democracy,
then where does it come from? Sanandaji said it comes from the unique
qualities of Nordic culture. “If you really understand Nordic society,
they have a unique culture, social cohesion, working ethics, etc., that
makes the economies be very well functionally,” the scholar explained.
“High taxes, government involvement in the economy doesn’t work there.
It works as little there as it works here.” http://www.wnd.com/2016/08/secret-to-nordic-success-hint-it-isnt-socialism
This will open your eyes and make you think real hard about the efficacy of condoning abortions. http://townhall.com/columnists/mattbarber/2016/08/21/still-prochoice-after-this-then-you-have-no-soul-n2207693?
Obama has pulled out of his
bag of dirty tricks this scheme to get his outrageously dangerous Trans
Pacific Partnership plan through the next lame duck Congress. It must
fail. Make sure you let your elected representative to reject any
effort to do this. Obama has done more than enough damage to our
country. We do not need him to screw us again on his way out of
office.. http://www.infowars.com/obama-tries-to-sneak-through-tpp-in-lame-duck-congress/
This is a major consequence
of Obama's illegal immigration program. Children get lost. The
government runs the program so inefficiently that they have lost track
of more 10,000 children in the system. No telling what happened to
them...I fear the worst for many. I am so disgusted with Obama that I
want to scream. Anyone with a heart would, too. In my book he is a
reprobate. His election to office was one of the nation's greatest
tragedies. I even think he should be tried for crimes against
humanity. Quote: "The federal government has been “rubber stamping” the
asylum applications of tens of thousands of child migrants like Walter
since 2014, says Lauren Martel, the attorney representing Bilbro in the
case. Their asylum applications are rushed through the system without
taking time to ensure the children’s safety." http://www.wnd.com/2016/08/missing-child-w-spotlights-outrageous-obama-scam/
Interesting isn't it that
most of the misbehavior comes from leftist groups bent on wreaking havoc
on those they do not like. Yet the left likes to beat their chests and
declare they are the tolerant ones. Their record, for those willing to
look, does not support that claim. http://www.wnd.com/2016/08/anti-trump-protesters-storm-motorcade-assault-supporters/ Here's more proof of their violent behaviors. "Although
leftists possess adult bodies, developmentally they are frozen in time
somewhere between childhood and adolescence. So when someone doesn’t
agree with them, they get frustrated, angry, and rather agitated, with a
tendency to behave like unruly children. It isn’t pretty. And sometimes it’s downright dangerous. This
propensity to yell, scream, shout down, pump fists, pound feet, lie,
steal, and attack is on display just about every day in this
presidential election cycle as Trump supporters are maligned (at best)
and physically assaulted (at worst). Here’s a by no means exhaustive
list of some of this madness on display. Worthy
of note, Trump supporters who have been victims of violence are often
framed by the media (and sometimes the police) as being suspect in some
way, as if they brought the violence on themselves." http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/08/violent_attacks_against_trump_supporters_continue_apace.html Want to see more? http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/08/20/racist-trump-supporters-forced-to-run-gauntlet-through-aggressive-violent-protesters/
This liberal Op-Ed
writer calls-out his fellow liberals for their intolerance. Quote:
"After liberal New York Times op-ed writer Nicholas Kristof penned his
Sunday column, “A Confession of Liberal Intolerance,”
conservative readers reacted with delight over Kristof’s
breath-of-fresh-air perspective. Liberal readers? Not so much. “We
progressives believe in diversity, and we want women, blacks, Latinos,
gays and Muslims at the table,” he begins his column, “er, so long as
they aren’t conservatives.” And, "Some liberals think that
right-wingers self-select away from academic paths in part because they
are money-grubbers who prefer more lucrative professions. But that
doesn’t explain why there are conservative math professors but not many
right-wing anthropologists. It’s also liberal poppycock that there
aren’t smart conservatives or evangelicals. Richard Posner
is a more-or-less conservative who is the most cited legal scholar of
all time. With her experience and intellect, Condoleezza Rice would
enhance any political science department. Francis Collins is an
evangelical Christian and famed geneticist who has led the Human Genome
Project and the National Institutes of Health. And if you’re saying that
conservatives may be tolerable, but evangelical Christians aren’t —
well, are you really saying you would have discriminated against the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.?" http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/05/10/liberal-nyt-op-ed-writer-takes-liberals-to-task-over-their-intolerance-and-they-arent-very-happy-about-that/
Walter Williams provides
some common sense thoughts. Quote: "To teach young people,
particularly young men, Benjamin Franklin's admonition that "an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure" is a challenging task. But it is
the job of adults to get such common-sense messages across, even at the
cost of leftist condemnation." http://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2016/05/04/common-sense-n2156819?
This
is the decrepit state our culture has been drifting towards for a very
long time thanks to progressive intrusion into all things
important. Quote: "Teaching While White (TWW) is becoming an
occupational hazard these days. So is being a white student, for that
matter. At the "Unofficial Scripps College Survival Guide," students
learn that "white peers and faculty -- portray Claremont Consortium as a
haven for liberal ideology and acceptance. It's a rhetoric that has led
many white students to believe that racism does not exist on campus."
Thus, "as white students, [they] must identify the ways that [they] are
engaging in the perpetuation of white supremacy and work to unlearn
[their] racism." http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/05/teaching_while_white.html
She
is a real piece of work. She has absolutely no ethical core and always
blames others for her own failures. Now she blames her use of her
private emails system on former Secretary of State Powell. He begs to
differ. Quote: "Colin Powell was Secretary of State during George W.
Bush’s presidency, from 2001 to 2005. Hillary’s latest excuse was
revealed from notes taken during the FBI’s alleged “interview” in July
of the Democratic nominee regarding her use of a private email server on
which she sent classified information as Secretary of State. These
documents pertaining to the interview were handed over to Congress on
Tuesday. Colin Powell responded to Hillary’s accusations against him,
in which she blamed her decision to use a private email server on him. In an interview with Page Six,
Powell said, “The truth is she was using it (her personal email) for a
year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did [during my term as
Secretary of State].” He added, “Her people are trying to pin it on me.”
