This is the first I've read your blog...Daniel,<br /><br />This is the first I've read your blog. Wow! This was very insightful and helps add clarity to how the left got the way they are!<br /><br />I believe they have a religion to preach. That is evolution and atheism. That includes moral relativism. They teach our kids that they don't need to listen to their parents and they don't need to consider the wisdom of the founding fathers. No, the schools have taught them to be critical thinkers! They can analyze issues on their own and come up with their own beliefs and answers. In reality, those answers are as far away from conservative Chritian values of their parents and forefathers as you can possibly get.<br /><br />It's not their OWN answers they come up with - its the answers that the public school system has indoctrinated them to have - like you said, "everyone is free to be different in the same way." If you come through the education system ok, it's not because of your education, its in spite of it. <br /><br />We have lost a generation - actually 2 generations!<br /><br />DaveDavid Servinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14976646163578410982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-31197410679864991962012-02-01T04:47:31.680-05:002012-02-01T04:47:31.680-05:00Can someone (preferably SK) explain the pictures?Can someone (preferably SK) explain the pictures?fsynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-75293280826494074022012-01-31T18:14:30.230-05:002012-01-31T18:14:30.230-05:00IMHO, Romney's no tyrant, he is however a RINO...IMHO, Romney's no tyrant, he is however a RINO who has bought into "the narrative" <br /><br />See: <b>Can Republicans Govern?<br />Not unless they change The Narrative.</b> http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/can-republicans-govern <br /><br />Romney will merely slow down liberal solutions, he won't eliminate them, though in all fairness, as long as a slim majority of the electorate support those solutions, no one can eliminate them.Geoffrey Britainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663224962346593872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-89525227452824925772012-01-31T17:49:33.944-05:002012-01-31T17:49:33.944-05:00Practically speaking then, in terms of our 2012 de...Practically speaking then, in terms of our 2012 decisions, is Mr. Romney one of these tyrants, or is he a true alternative?careyrowlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17958687878367659875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-62749052952735449332012-01-31T15:32:55.184-05:002012-01-31T15:32:55.184-05:00The Puritans did not come to America in search of ...The Puritans did not come to America in search of religious freedom, they came to America to have a place where they could establish a religious totalitarianism.

I have a theory about why the US is permitting so many Muslims to enter the US and obtain citizenship.<br /><br />This is a stretch and maybe on the conspiracy theory side but...suppose many of these new Muslim immigrants ran for political office (not president of course), were elected, and were in the majority along with their born here liberal allies? How many American politicians in the Senate and Congress would quorum bust when it comes to Israel?<br /><br /><br />I wonder if that could happen in the Knesset with the Arab MKs and their Israeli supporters. <br /><br /><br />OT but I've been thinking about quorums and US politics the past couple of days.Keliatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413494251297514882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-49195895890647993902012-01-31T14:30:12.732-05:002012-01-31T14:30:12.732-05:00"The American liberal is not a populist, he i...<i>"The American liberal is not a populist, he is still a New England preacher, but without a religion to preach."</i> <br /><br />Quite agree as to populism but liberals most certainly have a 'religion' to preach, some of its tenets are: enviromentalism, transnationalism, post-modernism, "the rule of the enlightened", the tenet that "a society of good will to all can be <b>forced through rigorous regimentation</b> by the truly enlightened" [my emphasis]. <br /><br />Their religion preaches in favor of "a vast echoing bureaucratic state in which everyone is free to be different in the same way". <br /><br />And indeed, this is nothing new; <br /><br />“Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties:<br />1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. <br />2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depository of the public interests. <br />In every country these two parties exist, and in every one where they are free to think, speak, and write, they will declare themselves.” –Thomas Jefferson to Henry Lee, 1824.<br /><br />"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive." C.S. Lewis<br /><br />"Political tags – such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth – are never basic criteria. <br /><br />The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire." - Robert A.

Carney in the March 5, 2011 Wall Street Journal): In the popular imagination, Socrates may be the first deep thinker in Western civilization, but in Mr. Johnson’s view he was also an anti-intellectual. Which is what makes him one of the good guys. “One of the categories of people I don’t like much are intellectuals,” Mr. Johnson says. “People say, ‘Oh, you’re an intellectual,’ and I say, ‘No!’ What is an intellectual? <b>An intellectual is somebody who thinks ideas are more important than people</b>.” (Emphasis added). http://pavellas.com/current-quotation/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-72206481036591972382012-01-31T08:42:07.132-05:002012-01-31T08:42:07.132-05:00Well written, Daniel, as usual.

The interpreters are the elect, the privileged, and the source of all our true knowledge. They are liberals, and will not be turned from their quest for an ideal society – one in which they are the be-all and end-all of everything. <br /><br />Warren and Obama and Pelosi at times deign to descend into the caves to make sure the prisoners have remained dumbed-down and ignorant. They are dressed in sumptuous robes, look well-fed, and are attended by an entourage of committees and sycophants. They assure us that they, too, are one of “us” and are working hard to give us a glimpse of reality, or what they wish to be reality. When one of us asks to be freed from the shackles and chains, so he could see for himself what the truth was, the interpreters’ brows furl in indignation and accuse the fellow of ingratitude. “We didn’t have to come down to this stinking pit to see you,” sniffs Warren. “Your shackles and chains need tightening.” <br /><br />One prisoner, indecently garbed in tattered, rotting rags, asks, “Where’d you get those threads?”<br /><br />“Never mind that. I’ve earned these robes. I’m in public service, ungrateful wretch. In truth, I am as poor as you.” The interpreter turns to a guard dressed in the TSA uniform. “Cut this person’s bread and water ration in half. We can’t have these creatures questioning authority.”Edward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-38860168470294881302012-01-31T06:31:21.278-05:002012-01-31T06:31:21.278-05:00And, unfortunately many "people like us"...And, unfortunately many "people like us" are all too willing to sit back and wait for someone else to do something about it.American Geniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514913997568552456noreply@blogger.com
