Sweden Sinks Into the Abyss

Voices from Across the Sound | Gates of Vienna: "The leader of the Danish People’s Party, Pia Kjærsgaard, has called Sweden for the “sickest country ever” and describes it as “DDR-lite.” She has also written:

“Personally I do not think the proper term is invented yet. Sweden is such an insane country that it is different from all other societies throughout history, and in fact maybe it is not the role of political scientists to establish a term, rather the role of psychiatric professionals specializing in schizophrenia and repression of feelings.”

The real meaning of ‘separation of church and state’

The real meaning of ‘separation of church and state’: "Groups use Jefferson’s phrase “separation of church and state” to remove national acknowledgment of God, despite Jefferson’s warning against that very thing, as inscribed on the Jefferson Memorial, Washington, D.C.: “God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?”

GayPatriot » My Favorite Person of 2014:

"Just to end the year on a positive note, I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge someone I’ve actually come to admire over the past twelve months: Lenore Skenazy of Free-Range kids.

Her crusade against helicopter parenting, and the insane practice of turning people in to the “authorities” for the crime of letting their kids play outside , the sheer bureaucratic idiocy of zero tolerance policies (“that kid touched a Tylenol, send him to juvie and put him on Adderall! Zero tolerance!”),  and rampant deranged paranoia against phantom sexual predators (contrary to popular belief, there is not a sexual predator behind every bush ready to leap out and carry off unattended children).

If we don’t get away from the busybody fascism Skenazy rages against, we will lose our culture and society. We will turn into Britain, a country where there are earnest efforts to outlaw kitchen knives (on the progressive basis that “no one needs a sharp kitchen knife and if even one life is saved, the ban will be worth it.”)

A lonely voice of reason standing against a cacophony of insanity:

‘What if whites strike back?’ - Atlanta Paulding County Republican | Examiner.com

Mychal Massie: ‘What if whites strike back?’ - Atlanta Paulding County Republican | Examiner.com: "“But unlike the rest of the world, America had the good sense and decency to end slavery. In America, there is no caste system, and yet at every turn we are bombarded with how bad blacks have it because of whites and how unfair the so-called “white system” is to blacks. All people, including those who are here illegally, have it better in America than they would have it anywhere else on earth… and yet blacks are encouraged to blame their ills on whites, “said Massie. “How long before white people, many of whom are growing increasingly resentful at being falsely maligned, decide to respond in kind? How much longer will whites stand by and allow the likes of Sharpton and Obama to continually cast them as racist villains?”"

Liberals' use of black people | Human Events

Liberals' use of black people | Human Events: "Liberals desperately need blacks. If the Democratic Party lost just 30 percent of the black vote, it would mean the end of the liberal agenda. That means blacks must be kept in a perpetual state of grievance in order to keep them as a one-party people in a two-party system. When black Americans finally realize how much liberals have used them, I’m betting they will be the nation’s most conservative people. Who else has been harmed as much by liberalism’s vision and agenda?

Free Markets do not Create Monopolies

Ayn Rand: ""The alleged purpose of the Antitrust laws was to protect competition; that purpose was based on the socialistic fallacy that a free, unregulated market will inevitably lead to the establishment of coercive monopolies. But, in fact, no coercive monopoly has ever been or ever can be established by means of free trade on a free market. Every coercive monopoly was created by government intervention into the economy: by special privileges, such as franchises or subsidies, which closed the entry of competitors into a given field, by legislative action. (For a full demonstration of this fact, I refer you to the works of the best economists.)" | The Objectivist Newsletter

Thy Name is Social Alienation - Social Matter

Thy Name is Social Alienation - Social Matter: "I see the roots of social alienation in the political policies enacted by government functionaries steeped in the ideologies of materialism, globalism, internationalism, secularism and socialism. From small Italian city centres swarming with Bangladeshi families to sprawling German cities filled with loitering Africans, the doctrines of diversity, multiculturalism and mass immigration have never been proven so harmful yet been so devoutly implemented anyway. While the precise source escapes me, I recall one German identitarian remarking that, above everything, what bothered him most about immigrants was how loud they were compared to Germans – boomboxes, shouting matches, loud conversations; all these disrupted the rhythmic lulls of native German life. In such a situation, why not atomize? Choice of music in, “vibrant” “multicultural” life out. This has become the default situation, seemingly, from Seattle to Stuttgart.

Mahmoud Abbas: Failing the Palestinians and Peace |: "Mahmoud Abbas, (aka Abu Mazen) has been a failure as the Palestinian “Rais.” He failed to lead the Palestinian Authority (PA) toward peace with Israel, and he mismanaged the alleged goal to achieve statehood for the Palestinians. Instead of facing the tough issues and making compromises required in negotiating peace and statehood with the Israelis, Abbas chose an alliance with the Gaza controlled terrorist group Hamas. Following Abbas’ pact with Hamas last April, Israel broke off peace negotiations with the Palestinians, just days before the talks brokered by Secretary of State John Kerry were scheduled to expire.

Rejecting the Eternal Message for a Temporary Fix—The Folly of the West

Rejecting the Eternal Message for a Temporary Fix—The Folly of the West: "he western world has somehow concluded (much like the theory of evolution) that because there are similarities in all religions they must all stem from or share the same roots. Yet, we are not willing to say that there are not still dangerous cults, false religions and pseudo religions that bring us great harm. The mistake of accepting these similarities as proof that all religions worship the same God is silly, but much worse it is an error that can cost you an eternity.

The world view is that if enough people attach themselves to something or affirm its intrinsic value it must be the right thing. No further examination is given and the generalization sweeps us into an error that costs more than we will be willing to pay on that final day.

Things that are popular have more power than sweeping ideologies like communism or Nazi-ism. We are more prone to be swept away by familiarity than ideology.

Comparative religion is a farce fostered by pseudo intellectualism, because if a true comparison was made only Christianity would be seen as the way to God."

The controlling fatal Western flaw.

Liberty's Torch: The controlling fatal Western flaw.: "There are no easy answers to why so many Westerners seem so grossly out of touch with the realities of an imperfect world. People who hate us and whose thinking is fundamentally at odds with our most basic values and institutions are hailed as brothers and as equals with no recognition whatsoever of all manner of contrary evidence.
Dealing with the cold realities of human existence is difficult under the best of circumstances and the human desire to find mental and spiritual refuge in fanciful doctrines and foolish assumptions about human nature and cultural and racial differences is understandable.

Alas, it appears to me that the desire of humans to avoid facing the plain and sometimes unpleasant facts of life is simply too strong. That powerful urge to seek false refuge can be seen most starkly in the complete absence of outrage or repulsion with respect to the 20th-century crimes of the left, so strong is the human desire to believe the socialist-progressive lies.

Only catastrophe -- Solzhenitsyn's pitiless crowbar of events, Ben Franklin's dear school, or the wrath of God -- appears likely to break through the armor plate of Western delusion.

STEPHEN BLANK: Vladimir Putin Ukraine objective is power to dominate all of Europe - Washington Times

STEPHEN BLANK: Vladimir Putin Ukraine objective is power to dominate all of Europe - Washington Times: "But Moscow wants more than simple territorial expansion. The ultimate strategic prize coveted by Mr. Putin and company is nothing less than the reorganization of European security along new lines. The invasion of Crimea, the overflights of Europe and flights close to the United States, along with nuclear threats and continuing aggression in Ukraine, all bespeak a determination to demonstrate the European Union’s — and especially NATO’s — impotence. Essentially, Mr. Putin wants to return Europe to a Cold War-like bipolarity between Moscow and the United States, even as his government conducts subversion across Europe to hollow out and undo the twin processes of European integration and democratization. This objective invariably means war, because Ukraine, Poland and other post-Soviet states are ready and willing to resist a new Russian imperial despotism.

These objectives require a resolute Western response. The state of siege already engendered in Europe by Mr. Putin’s actions is a function of the lackluster and weak way in which Western powers have reacted to Moscow’s aggression. Formulating a strategy to roll back Russian objectives remains an imperative for the United States and its allies. For if we do not heed this demand now, we will be forced to do so later at still greater cost, measured in the lives and treasure of Western nations — and in prospects for independence and democracy in the “post-Soviet space.”

Services are collapsing, prices are soaring, and medicines are scarce in towns and cities across the “caliphate” proclaimed in Iraq and Syria by the Islamic State, residents say, belying the group’s boasts that it is delivering a model form of governance for Muslims.

A Faustian Bargain?

Had Enough Therapy?: A Faustian Bargain?: "Pinker is right to say that, in material terms, life is vastly better than what it was. And, no one wants to go back to the old days before industrial sanitation, modern medicine, communication, transportation and manufacturing.

Both Kotkin and Cohen are hinting at the possibility that we have paid a very high price for this progress, that we have made something of a Faustian bargain… one that feels great now, but that might not feel quite so great later.

Kotkin recommends solutions that I have been advocating on this blog… ethical conduct and improved personal relationships:

Whatever the advantages that we can derive from technology, this vision of the future violates the basic moral principles of both civil society and religious faith. Before we plug ourselves in for eternity, we might consider, this holiday season, to take a non-digital path to reviving our soils, whether by reading your bible, enjoying Shakespeare, tossing a football with your kids, or simply taking a walk in the woods. Technology might help shape what humanity can do, but it cannot make us any more human. That’s up to us.

Cultural Marxism Goes Viral | The Rio Norte Line

Cultural Marxism Goes Viral | The Rio Norte Line: "What we are experiencing today is what I call “Marxism by degree”. Many of my opponents reject that this is happening because it isn’t wholesale – it doesn’t fit the textbook definition on a macro level; however, it is not arguable that there are sections of our society and economy that are being transformed by degree and this is opening the door to faster future erosion of our liberty. It does; however, fit the definition on a micro level – this viral cultural Marxist war on the individual. When there are many micro level changes in the same direction, they eventually add up to a macro shift.

It is stunning how many of Obama’s supporters cannot see that that they are being used for this “grand plan” unless, of course, they are Marxists as well.

We shouldn’t be so blind as to ignore it or pass it off as fluff. Each one of these little “isms”, perversion of our language and small cultural “nudges” (read Cass Sunstein’s book “Nudge” if you want to understand that this is noting coincidental about these micro-changes) all are pushing society toward the subjugation of collectivism and away from the supremacy of the individual.

Nothing is trivial today – it all has meaning. Triviality has become the camouflage of the substantial. The fact that we are all being conditioned that before we speak or write something, it has to pass through the filter of political correctness identifies that the disease of cultural Marxism has already infected us"

Cops assassinated: the result of allowing an evil lie to grow

Blog: Cops assassinated: the result of allowing an evil lie to grow: "Al Sharpton is a vile, disgusting, and despicable human being.  How much longer will we allow the hate-filled pus-like bile coming out of his mouth to go unchallenged?  Where are the voices pushing back at sponsors of Sharpton's show on MSNBC, the national hate network?  From Sharpton's horrific hate- and violence-inspiring Tawana Brawley hoax, his anti-Semitic rabble-rousing that led to the murder of a Jewish man and another man mistaken for Jewish in Crown Heights, and his latest race-baiting exploits, for decades, this evil man has been a destructive, painful boil on the derrière of America.

The mindset of allowing the “cops murder blacks” narrative/lie of the MSM, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, Obama, and the police protesters to go unchallenged is extremely dangerous.  It is also disheartening, immoral, and extremely destructive that these same leftist operatives promote the narrative/lie that America is institutionally racist.

Please forgive me for once again using this often used quote by Edmund Burke.  “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

My fellow Americans, we vastly outnumber the dividers and haters.  Let us band together, pushing back against the evil forces hell-bent on tearing our great nation apart.

My wife Mary and I chatted about how while racism was alive and well in our youth forty years ago, good people on both sides found common ground and worked together for change.  While Mr. Rice was a good white man, I knew many good white folks like him who tried to do the right thing.  This is why is it so despicable and painful, witnessing leftist evil operatives purposely destroying hard-earned gains in national race relations.

It is way past time that the hate-spewing Al Sharpton and his evil associates be given the hook off the national stage.  If not, more assassinations of police and assaults on white Americans are inevitable.

Insane: Allah in our schools

Articles: Allah in our schools: "Jihad, in its many guises and forms, is being waged across America. No aspect of our society has been untouched by this relentless attack. Including our schools.

Our education system has been infiltrated by the enemy, as the next generation of Americans is brainwashed with white-washed Islam.

The assault is coming from all directions and it never sleeps.

Muslim Brotherhood front groups have been, and continue to be, integrally involved in the development of Common Core curriculum. They make sure a false picture of Islam is integrated into lessons, from K – 12. Our children are exposed to all manner of “educational” activities that amount to Islamic propaganda, which is now endemic in the school system.

In addition to Muslim Brotherhood front groups, Saudi Arabia exerts outside influence on school curricula. The Saudis spread a lot of money around, giving it to organizations that promote Islam throughout our institutions. Schools receive a hefty sum of brand name sickness called Wahhabism. As Stanley Kurtz wrote in NRO several years ago: “…the Saudis have figured out how to make an end-run around America’s K-12 curriculum safeguards, thereby gaining control over much of what children in the United States learn about the Middle East.” (To learn more about how the Saudi’s achieved this, see here and here.)

Holder and Obama are making race relations worse, inflaming hatred | New York Post

Holder and Obama are making race relations worse, inflaming hatred | New York Post: "Attorney General Eric Holder insisted to MSNBC earlier this month that “we are in a better place than we were before” in race relations since Barack Obama was elected president.
The president doubled down in an interview with NPR last week. Asked if race relations were worse since he took office, he said, “No, I actually think that it’s probably in its day-to-day interactions less racially divided.”
But that’s not what the American people see. A Pew Research Center poll found that only 40% of Americans approve of the way Obama is handling race relations. Black approval is down to 57%, while approval among whites is down to 33%.
More young people under age 30, the age group who were most enthusiastic about electing the nation’s first African-American president, now disapprove of his performance on racial issues than approve. And Eric Holder has one of the lowest approval ratings of any public official.
Law-enforcement officials are appalled at the way the Obama administration exploited tragedies in Ferguson, Mo., and New York City to appeal to its political base. David Clarke, a Democrat who is the African-American sheriff of Milwaukee, doesn’t mince his words.
“The thing that disappoints me the most is some very powerful people in this country — the president of the United States, Attorney General Eric Holder and Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York — have created a pathway that contributes to an unjustifiable hatred of law enforcement officers across the country,” he told WMAL radio in Washington, DC. “They trashed an entire profession with a broad brush because it was politically expedient for them to do so.”"

Giuliani explains | Power Line

Giuliani explains | Power Line: "Quotable quote: “[T]he reality is, if you are speeding, and you are pulled over and the police officer asks you for your license and registration, and you say, no, you’ve just taken a relatively minor situation and made it into a really major one because the cop is going to pull you out of the car and anything can happen. So before you analyze that, you have to know how are people behaving, how are they acting, how are they interact, you know what kind of danger the police officers in? I have found in New York City, that the overwhelming majority of cases, the police officers are justified in what they’re doing. The exception is when they do something wrong and when they do, and when they do, they go to prison. This is a police department that in an overwhelming majority of cases, when a death takes place to justifiable situation where the police officers was in fear for his life.”

Obamunists work with religious fervor to achieve their aims.  In their minds, sacrificing the lives of a few cops is an act of worship, a blood atonement in the church of the New Man.   We should have realized this years ago, concluding rightly we are in a death struggle with the enemy within.  Our government and our culture have been infiltrated by these new totalitarians.  It is up to us to root them out, that is, if we insist on liberty and justice for ALL.

Solzhenitsyn’s Warning About Communism Applies To Today’s Culture War

Solzhenitsyn’s Warning About Communism Applies To Today’s Culture War: "I’d like to share a quote from Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the famous Russian dissident author who emigrated to the United States during the height of the Cold War. Solzhenitsyn wrote about Communism and the Soviet Union mostly, but it is amazing the parallels that one can see with contemporary American society, in terms of the cultural climate. Keep in mind, the United States has changed from Solzhenitsyn’s time, so much so that the following quote now illustrates the current condition of western society.



Our present system is unique in world history, because over and above its physical and economic constraints, it demands of us total surrender of our souls, continuous and active participation in the general, conscious lie. To this putrefaction of the soul, this spiritual enslavement, human beings who wish to be human cannot consent.

Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!”; (c) government enablers like President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, Mayor Bill de Blasio, and other public officials who, even after its violent rhetoric ignited violent actions, have encouraged the movement and chosen not to take steps that could have contained it; and (d) media cheerleaders who have helped perpetuate the slander that fuels the movement, namely: the claim that racism caused the recent deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, who met their demise when police, in Ferguson, Mo., and New York City, respectively, used force because the two men resisted efforts to effect lawful arrests."

Stop Lying About the Police | RealClearPolitics: "We have heard a lot lately about tensions between the police and the communities that they serve, and the urgent need to reduce them. Here’s an easy first step: Stop lying about the cops.

The “national conversation” about race and policing we’ve been having ever since Michael Brown was shot by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Mo., last summer has been based on lies. The lie that Officer Wilson shot Brown while he had his hands up and was pleading “Don’t shoot.” The lie that New York City policemen targeted Eric Garner for a violent arrest because he was black. The lie, peddled especially by the progressive prince of New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio, that the police are racist.

These are the lies that fuel hatred for the police, because if the police routinely execute black men in cold blood and serve a thoroughly racist system, they deserve to be hated. They should be the subject of nightly protests. They should be showered with obloquy. They should be harried by Attorney General Eric Holder. They should be considered a stain on the national conscience to be extricated at all costs.

With Two Years Left, the Inflection Point of the Obama Presidency | Unexamined Premises

With Two Years Left, the Inflection Point of the Obama Presidency | Unexamined Premises: "The men behind Obama took a calculated gamble in 2008 that the nation was ready for the first post-American president, a man with no meaningful cultural roots in the nation he would profess to lead.  They relied on the intrinsic good-heartedness of the electorate to show their lack of prejudice in voting for a man with an exotic Arabic/Muslim name only seven years after the atrocity of Sept. 11. They counted on the innate good will of the American people, judged that the time was right for a black president, and then went out and found the only half-black candidate who had absolutely nothing to do with the black American experience and ran him as an avatar of black America.

And they won, twice, both times against half-hearted Republican candidates with no skin in the game, married to interchangeable blonde wives — one a half-crazy former prisoner of war/political accommodationist and the other a Mormon whose religious faith was guaranteed to lose him some much-needed votes. If they had tried to throw both elections, they could not have done a better job, both of them refusing to go after Obama head-on, and neither of them apparently realizing the danger he posed to the republic. Neither could fathom a new kind of Democrat candidate, one who observed the surface appearances of  a traditional candidacy, but who was brimming with new, extra-Constitutional ideas about how to effect his political program.

Universal school choice is clearest pathway to restore nation to former greatness | NJ.com

Opinion: Universal school choice is clearest pathway to restore nation to former greatness | NJ.com: "Unlike any of the programs identified today as “school choice,” such as opportunity scholarships, charter schools and tax credits, universal school choice transfers control of education back to parents, where it rightfully belongs, by allowing public education funds to follow the child to the school chosen by the parents. These funds — substantially less than current costs but sufficient to pay for a quality education at nonpublic schools — are made available to every parent in the form of a voucher that can be cashed only by a qualified school. With parental control comes responsibility — a prerequisite to success in any endeavor.

The late, world-renowned economist Milton Friedman first proposed universal school choice in his 1955 treatise “The Role of Government in Education,” where he compared education to other services: “In most industries, consumers are free to buy the product from anyone who offers it for sale, at a price mutually agreed on. In the process, consumers determine how much is produced and by whom and producers have an incentive to satisfy their customers. These competitive private industries are organized from the bottom up. They have been responsible for truly remarkable economic growth, improvements in products and increased efficiency in production.”

Green Prospers Because None Dare Call it Treason!

Paradigms and Demographics: Green Prospers Because None Dare Call it Treason!: "This is a multi-faceted problem requiring a multi-faceted answer.  There is a growing alliance between the media, the wealthy left,  academia, environmental activists, activist bureaucrats, unscrupulous politicians and people who believe they can “do business” going green.  Viv Forbes stated years ago that, "The public has been misled by an unholy alliance of environmental scaremongers, funds-seeking academics, sensation-seeking media, vote-seeking politicians and profit-seeking vested interests."

This cabal has become a hegemony that’s linked to instruments of state power all over the world, undermining the health and welfare of human societies with the theme “they’re saving the planet” and they're doing what they do because "it's for the children".  When we hear those kinds of emotional appeals we had better start looking deeper into the subject because it probably means the intellectual foundations for their views are shallow. 

Unfortunately for society this anti-human green hegemony is foundationally and functionally  anti-job creation, anti-industrialization, anti-technology and absolutely opposed to economic growth, (the Keystone pipeline vote is one such example of the influence they exert) which they claim is a threat to the environment and a lifestyle they wish society of follow, i.e., a return to nature, which makes me wonder at their sanity.  This puts them squarely at odds with working people and the most economically deprived people on the planet, especially in the third world where their policies and initiatives have had a devastating impact on their health and well being.  Fortunately that’s becoming more and more clear thanks to the internet, but it’s important to understand what all that means.

SINISTER: Obamunism: Infiltration and Demoralization

SINISTER: Obamunism: Infiltration and Demoralization: "All this started before Saul Alinsky, a hero to Obama and Co., including Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren.  Fundamental transformation was not original with Barry.  It originated with Karl Marx who inspired people like Eric Fromm, Herbert Marcuse and many others, members of the Frankfurt School.  These people actually believe communism–central control of everything, as in Cuba, China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela–will usher in paradise.  They also believe that paradise can only be realized if the West is destroyed, especially Christian America.  Learn more about the methods and impact of the Frankfurt School here, and here.

The bottom line is Obama is only the latest manifestation of a line of thinking we can trace all the way back to the 19th century.  His entire purpose is the destruction of our Western ways, and, his quest is so pure, so good, so right, he gives himself permission to say anything and employ any measure to achieve his goals.  In all this he is joined by Sharpton, Holder, Biden, Clinton, Warren, and legions of anti-American communists like Bill Ayers, all hell bent on destroying our constitutional republic, then replacing it with a communist dictatorship.

Obamunists work with religious fervor to achieve their aims.  In their minds, sacrificing the lives of a few cops is an act of worship, a blood atonement in the church of the New Man.   We should have realized this years ago, concluding rightly we are in a death struggle with the enemy within.  Our government and our culture have been infiltrated by these new totalitarians.  It is up to us to root them out, that is, if we insist on liberty and justice for ALL.

Evidence discovered that 'ocean acidification' scare may be as fraudulent as 'global warming'

Blog: Evidence discovered that 'ocean acidification' scare may be as fraudulent as 'global warming': "A startling discovery by a graduate student has uncovered what looks like a fraud remarkably parallel to the infamous “Hockey stick” graph of Michael Mann that purported to show global temperatures skyrocketing when atmospheric CO2 rose, but only did so because “hide the decline” was the operating principle in selecting data. For those who have not been keeping up with the alarmist follies, alleged ocean acidification has joined and supplemented the rapidly-fading alleged global warming threat as an urgent reason to stop emitting CO2, and hand money and power over to regulators who would control the production of energy, the very basis of modern life."

Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth?

That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Saviour and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets 600 years before."

We have lost the courage to say that these protestors and enablers goals are not good for the society.

Commonsense & Wonder: We have lost the courage to say that these protestors and enablers goals are not good for the society.: "The cold-blooded murder of two New York City policemen as they sat in their car is not only an outrage but also a wake-up call. It shows, in the most painful way, the high cost of having demagogues, politicians, mobs, and the media constantly taking cheap shots at the police.
Those cheap shots are in fact very expensive shots, not only to the police themselves but to the whole society. Someone once said that civilization is a thin crust over a volcano. The police are part of that thin crust. We have seen before our own eyes, first in Ferguson, Missouri and then in other communities, what happens when there is just a small crack in that crust, and barbarism and arson burst out.
That can happen anywhere. So can what happened in New York. “Send not to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.”"

Liberty's Torch: A Grand And Evil Experiment Part 2: Tolerating The Intolerable

Liberty's Torch: A Grand And Evil Experiment Part 2: Tolerating The Intolerable: "Tolerance is so badly misunderstood today that even the brightest among us have difficulty separating out the kernel of validity from the chaff that’s obscured it. It’s not about accepting any and every sort of deviance from the norm. It certainly doesn’t mean reading news about murders committed by Muslim terrorists or black thugs and saying, “Well, their ways are their own, and we have to tolerate them.”

True tolerance is inseparably bound to the enforcement of a tolerable social order: i.e., to the universal and absolute intolerance of violence and unredressed injustice. Only within such a framework can true tolerance be practiced.

A Series of Lies Undermines Our Civilization - The Rush Limbaugh Show

A Series of Lies Undermines Our Civilization - The Rush Limbaugh Show: "Our civilization, some fear, is coming apart at the seams because of a bunch of lies.  You have basically a bunch of community activists, agitators, organizers or whatever, who are used to not really being heard by that many people.  They go out and they raise hell, and if you're community organizing on a corner in Chicago, okay, big whoop.  You take that same behavior to the White House, you take the same behavior to Gracie Mansion, city hall, you are starting to affect real people and real life with this radical, stupid, cockamamie belief system that you've got. 

It's one thing to be in the neighborhood shouting all this stuff about police brutality or this or that and people go walking on by. But then you take that same behavior untempered and put it in positions of real power and you've got people who have no idea of the results of their actions or words.  Maybe they do.  Maybe I'm cutting 'em too much slack.  Maybe they know exactly what they're doing and they're doing it on purpose.  I don't know.  Whatever, it isn't helpful.  And it's coming from the people that claim to love us and claim to be tolerant and claim to be the ones that have all the compassion.  They're the good people, right?  They're the ones that care. 

They're getting people killed.  They are in the process of taking the rivets, if you will, out of our civilization.  And they seem to be doing it happily.  So this stuff is happening, and it's two days before Christmas.  These people used to take a break at least a couple weeks before Christmas.  So it's there, and we are going to address it because that's what we do.  We keep you up to speed, make the complex understandable and keep you advised of the absolute latest on everything.

Termites At Work on American History on Creators.com

Termites At Work on American History on Creators.com: "This is deadly serious business. Civilizations are not self-sustaining enterprises. People must believe that their society and culture are worth preserving. If we don't teach our children the fundamentals of American history and government, they will not have the knowledge or perspective necessary to maintain it.

The undermining of the Advanced Placement U.S. history curriculum is typical of the progressives' work in our schools. Like thousands of termites, they are eating away at the foundations of our culture.

The new "framework" for the teaching of AP history, which is studied by thousands of America's top-performing high-school students, emphasizes oppressors and exploiters while scanting liberators and pioneers. Teachers are encouraged to examine the Colonial period by comparing and contrasting the different social and economic goals of the 17th-century Spanish, French, Dutch and British colonizers. The British, students are to be instructed, differed from the rest because of a "strong belief in British racial and cultural superiority," which led to the imposition of a "rigid racial hierarchy."

Larry Krieger, a former high-school history teacher, summarizes: "While students will learn a great deal about the Beaver Wars, the Chickasaw Wars, the Pueblo Revolt, and King Philip's War, they will learn little or nothing about the rise of religious toleration, the development of democratic institutions, and the emergence of a society that included a rich mix of ethnic groups and the absence of a hereditary aristocracy. The Framework blatantly ignores such pivotal historic figures as Roger Williams and Benjamin Franklin and such key developments as the emergence of New England town meetings and the Virginia House of Burgesses as cradles of democracy."

Curriculum is destiny. No one is suggesting that students be indoctrinated or spoon-fed a cheerleading version of American history. The real thing will do very well — but too few students are getting that.

Confessions of a Reluctant Draftee in the Culture Wars

Confessions of a Reluctant Draftee in the Culture Wars: "The basic problem with the left’s conception of freedom is that it doesn’t really have one.

The left’s operational concept of freedom is that you are allowed to do and say what you like—so long as you stay within a certain proscribed window of socially acceptable deviation. The purpose of the gay marriage campaign is simply to change the parameters of that window, extending it to include the gay, the queer, the transgendered—and to exclude anyone who thinks that homosexuality is a sin or who wants to preserve the traditional concept of marriage. Those people are declared outside the protection of the law and in fact will have the full weight of the law bear down upon them until they recant their socially unacceptable views.

The point is not whether you agree about which views are or should be socially acceptable. The point is that this is not a concept of freedom. It’s a regime of state-controlled ideas, softened by an amorphous zone of official tolerance.

That’s the only reason I’m interested in this controversy. My own stance on gay marriage can be summed as: “whatever.” I would feel no need to say anything about it, if not for the insistence on the part of gay marriage advocates that any dissenters must be forced to submit.
It turns out we were right to be concerned. This year saw the launch of a whole new wave of “political correctness,” heralded by a bizarre little incident known as “ShirtStorm.” This was the brief controversy over a British scientist who was harangued for his “misogyny” because he supervised the landing of a space probe on a comet—a huge scientific achievement—while wearing a shirt that was considered offensive to feminists."

Who’s Responsible? - The Radical Left

Who’s Responsible? | The American Spectator: "Make no mistake about it. There is political mileage to be made siding with demagogues like Al Sharpton who, as demagogue-in-chief, has been invited to the White House dozens of times by its commander-in-chief.

Many in the media and among the intelligentsia cherish the romantic tale of an “us” against “them” struggle of beleaguered ghetto blacks defending themselves against the aggression of white policemen. The gullible include both whites who don’t know what they are talking about and blacks who don’t know what they are talking about either, because they never grew up in a ghetto. Among the latter are the President of the United States and his Attorney General.

Such people readily buy the story that ghetto social problems today — from children being raised without a father to runaway rates of murder — are “a legacy of slavery,” even though such social problems were nowhere near as severe in the first half of the 20th century as they became in the second half.

You would be hard pressed to name just five examples from the first half of the 20th century of the kinds of ghetto riots that have raged in more than a hundred cities during the second half. Such riots are a legacy of the social degeneracy of our times.

Calling this social degeneracy “a legacy of slavery” is not just an excuse for those who engage in it, it is an excuse for the ideology of the intelligentsia behind the social policies that promoted this degeneracy.

Scarborough accused the marchers of exaggerating the police violence against African-America men: "To listen to protesters, editors and left-wing talking heads go on and on since the shooting of Michael Brown, you would be led to believe that white police officers were randomly driving through black neighborhoods searching for young black males to shoot down.""

Even worse than that, they have empowered and legitimized racial demagogues like Al Sharpton who have sought to profit from exploiting these tragedies to promote their own agendas. In turn, Sharpton and those like him who are given prominent air time on networks like MSNBC and CNN have encouraged protesters who have not only engaged in violence but often openly called for the killing of police, a stance that has been openly endorsed by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and other radicals.

Vermont nixes single-payer healthcare, because socialism is ridiculously expensive | FreedomWorks

Vermont nixes single-payer healthcare, because socialism is ridiculously expensive | FreedomWorks: "The outrageous tax increases that would have been required to make Vermont's proposed single-payer healthcare program a reality forced Gov. Peter Shumlin to pull the plug after years of planning.

In May 2011, Shumlin, a Democrat, signed legislation into law that established a government-run, taxpayer-financed healthcare system that would provide coverage to all residents of Vermont. "In Vermont we are pursuing a plan that we think will control healthcare costs, not just by cutting fees to doctors and hospitals, but by fundamentally changing the state's healthcare system. I have launched an ambitious effort, with support from the Vermont legislature, to implement a single payer system in Vermont," Shumlin wrote in an August 2011 editorial at the Huffington Post. "Under the plan, single payer coverage will be a right and not a privilege, and will not be connected to employment."

We also know that sticks and stones won’t break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Don’t we?

Next Up in America: The Liberal Retreat - The American Interest

Next Up in America: The Liberal Retreat - The American Interest: "As the United States staggers toward the seventh year of Barack Obama’s tenure in the White House, a growing disquiet permeates the ranks of the American left. After six years of the most liberal president since Jimmy Carter, the nation doesn’t seem to be asking for a second helping. Even though the multiyear rollout of Obamacare was carefully crafted to put all the popular features up front, delaying less popular changes into the far future, the program remains unpopular. Trust in the fairness and competence of government is pushing toward new lows in the polls, even though the government is now in the hands of forward-looking, progressive Democrats rather than antediluvian Gopers.

Borrowing Bad: Risky New Mortgage Rules Could Take Us Back to 2008 | The Fiscal Times

Borrowing Bad: Risky New Mortgage Rules Could Take Us Back to 2008 | The Fiscal Times: "As Kevin Drum points out, excessive leverage was the main driver of the financial crisis. When it comes to banks, regulators and experts seem to understand that. But when it comes to homeowners, they ignore that lesson, even though leverage on consumers is no less dangerous, and possibly even more so, than leverage on financial institutions. In fact, overleveraging homeowners with debts they cannot afford will unquestionably backfire on banks over time. 

Underwriting standards have eased for just about every financial product except mortgages, and the government, wanting to reverse housing market sluggishness, wants to push mortgages over the edge as well. That drive for short-term economic gain simply generates unavoidable risk. We would justly decry the abandonment of bank leverage rules; the same rules should apply to protect homeowners.

Has America Finally Begun to Despise BOTH Parties?

Has America Finally Begun to Despise BOTH Parties?: "Why would Democrats and Republicans share that aim?  Perhaps it’s because they both read the following that was written by H.L. Menken:

The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are.

Thinking for ourselves is absolutely terrifying to professional politicians of either party.  Thinking for ourselves, we will (if we haven’t already) discover that the current government, under the Democrats OR the Republicans is one that actually is dishonest, insane and intolerable.  It seems that the discontent has already arrived.  And the demands for change to that government have already started.

Anything that might change the power structure is bound to be fought by both Democrats and Republicans, using any sleazy, underhanded and destructive means that can be concocted.

Is there anything else that needs to be seen to understand why BOTH political parties are despised?

Why Liberals Really, Really Hate Us | Spengler

Why Liberals Really, Really Hate Us | Spengler: "They really, really hate us. George Orwell wrote a morning “Two Minutes Hate” session into the daily life of his dystopia in 1984. One blogger notes that 2,000 of Rachel Maddow’s facebook fans wished that Ted Cruz would fall into an open elevator shaft. What would he have made of the hyperventilating hatred that liberals display against conservatives? Over at National Review, Katherine Timpf reports on a hate manifesto published by the chair of University of Michigan’s Department of Communications. Republicans “crafted a political identity that rests on a complete repudiation of the idea that the opposing party and its followers have any legitimacy at all.” wrote Prof. Susan Douglas. “So now we hate them back,” she explains. “And with good reason.”

In fact, they have their reasons to hate us. They are being silly. We know they are being silly, and they know we know, and they can’t stand it. It isn’t quite how we repudiate the idea that the opposing party has any legitimacy at all. But we can’t stop giggling.

“Reductio ad absurdum” does not begin to characterize the utter silliness of liberals, whose governing dogma holds that everyone has a right to invent their own identity. God is dead and everything is permitted, Zarathustra warned; he should have added that everything is silly. When we abhor tradition, we become ridiculous, because we lack the qualifications to replace what generation upon generation of our ancestors built on a belief in revelation and centuries of trial and error. Conservatives know better. G.K. Chesterton said it well: “Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about.”

Diplomacy Obama Style: Reward the Dictator in Exchange for ... Nothing | National Review Online

Diplomacy Obama Style: Reward the Dictator in Exchange for ... Nothing | National Review Online: "In his excellent column on the homepage, Elliot Abrams concludes that President Obama’s prisoner swap with Cuba was essentially the shiny object to divert our attention from the real, underlying deal: Obama gave away the store – normalization of diplomatic relations, international legitimacy for a brutal dictatorship, and the consequent lavish income streams that will prop up the regime – in exchange for … nothing. As Elliot puts it, “The Castros made no promises at all to reduce oppression, allow freedom of speech or assembly, or make any political reforms or foreign-policy adjustments.”

Has the West Lost the Will to Live? | FrontPage Magazine

Has the West Lost the Will to Live? | FrontPage Magazine: "The West is in decline for a number of reasons, one of which is its cultural capitulation in the face of an ascendant Islamic fundamentalism. It is as if we, or at least our leaders and elites, have lost the cultural will to live. We need to get in touch with a sort of cultural rage, a fierce determination to crush threats to our culture, our values, and our liberty. We need to demonstrate that our tolerance has reached an end, that there will be no more coexistence with an ideology openly dedicated to our destruction. “Never mind normal,” as Jack Engelhard put it. To paraphrase his wish for Israel, for once let our blood “be exceptional and cause for nausea and trembling” among our enemies. Show the jihadists that there will be no more business-as-usual capitulation, and that they can expect us to unleash hell in retaliation for a single drop of Western blood.

We have a President who actually announced to the world that “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” At the rate we’re going, it won’t. One thing is certain: the future will belong to the culture that is not hamstrung by cultural self-doubt, that is not mired in apologetic self-abasement, that is not burdened by historical guilt induced through decades of politically correct indoctrination, and that burns with a will to win, no matter how long it takes or what it costs. The future will belong to the lions, not the lambs.
