The Political Violence of the Bible and the Koran

Comments Off
by    in Bible Centered,Islam,Terrorism,Thinking

One of the most frequently used arguments in the defense of Islam is that the Bible is just as violent as the Koran. The logic goes like this. If the Koran is no more violent than the Bible, then why should we worry about Islam? This argument suggests that Islam is the same as Christianity and Judaism. This is false, but the analogy is very popular since it allows someone who knows nothing about the actual doctrine of Islam to talk about it. “See, Islam is like Christianity; Christians are just as violent as Muslims.” If this is true, then you don’t have to learn anything about the actual Islamic doctrine.

Christianity or Thoughtcrime?

Comments Off
by    in Bible Centered,Freedom,Political Correctness,Thinking

Apparently, the politically correct view (for the time being) is that it is fine, commendable even, to be a Christian and attend church on Sundays — but during the rest of the week and outside the church, Christian doctrine is tolerable only when it advances the progressive definition of correctness.

On the Intellectual Inferiority of Liberalism

Comments Off
by    in Conservatism,Marxism,Secularism,Thinking

Today the “liberal” faith requires an extraordinary act of ignorance, purposeful forgetting, and constant spinning. To be a faithful “liberal” today you have to forget the whole 20th century, and its 100 million victims of the radical left — that is, victims of Obama’s brand of leftism. You have to shut out of your mind the fact that Obama hails from today’s Chicago Machine, the most storied and undemocratic political machine since Boss Tweed.

You have to ignore the bloody history of black nationalism in America, where Obama’s hero Malcolm X was assassinated by the followers of Elijah Muhammed. You have to ignore the racial blackmail that has controlled American politics since the rise of the post-MLK “civil rights” movement, when all the heroic actions of a few civil rights campaigners like Martin Luther King, Jr., was taken over by dangerous racial demagogues like Rev. Al, the Rev. Wright and the radical left.

Evil Studies History

Comments Off
by    in Bible Centered,Conservatism,Constitution,Thinking

It’s interesting how history cycles around to the same old thing, over and over. Ecclesiastes 1:9 reads: “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” Ominous words that are sadly true — a warning that mankind continuously fails to heed.

Defeating Darwin In Four Steps – so easy a caveman could do it

Comments Off
by    in Creationism,Elitism,Humanism,Marxism,Politcal,Secularism,Socialism,Thinking

What follows is a straightforward, four-step refutation of the theory of evolution. The steps are easy to remember, and make a nice little cadence when spoken with a little rhythm: First Law, Second Law, Fossils and Genes. Armed with this truth, go forth and conquer.

Is Glenn Beck Saved? (A Short Review of Mormonism)

Comments Off
by    in Bible Centered,Conservatism,Thinking

Glenn Beck is also a convert to the Mormon faith, joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1999 along with his wife and children. However, his recent comments regarding God, salvation, and the Gospel on his TV show have caused some evangelical Christians to contemplate the salvation of Glenn Beck, even as a member of the Mormon Church.

Does Obama Have Any Idea Why New Deal Failed?

Comments Off
by    in Economics,Marxism,Obama,Politcal,Progressism,Redistribution of Wealth,Secularism,Thinking

Why did Roosevelt’s New Deal fail so miserably? The larger problem is that federal spending can’t create jobs. It merely transfers wealth from taxpayers to central planners. But worse than that, most of FDR’s New Deal was driven by politics. It was economically unsound.

Actually, the world war didn’t really get us out of the depression, it just hid the depression while we waged war. The depression really ended when government spending decreased from $106 billion in 1945 to $36 billion in 1947.

The Democrats Big Lie

Comments Off
by    in Conservatism,Obama,Politcal,Political Correctness,Progressism,Thinking

The liberals have fully absorbed the lessons taught by their ideological progenitors, the Nazi socialists and Soviet communists. They understand that the big lie, if endlessly repeated, is extremely effective. Its purpose is to establish in the minds of the target audience an automatic stimulus-response connection, a Pavlovian conditioned reflex: capitalist = fat cat; George Bush = moron; Sarah Palin = idiot; Barack Obama = genius, any Kennedy = gift to mankind, etc. Ask the liberal spouting any of the above for proof that, say, Sarah Palin is an idiot or Barack Obama an intellectual giant, and the answer would be a puzzled stare — why, everyone knows that she is a moron and he a towering intellect, so it must be true. Just repeat your slogan often enough, and once embedded in the minds of the people the mantra becomes reality for them. So effective is this technique that the left has made the former Alaska governor unelectable in the view of independents and even many conservatives, in effect dictating the available choices for the conservatives.

The More We’re Connected, the Less We’re Connected

Comments Off
by    in Economics,Education,Freedom,Thinking

Human beings are overwhelming themselves with connectivity, unable to keep pace with the increased number of self-ascribed obligations that come with constant accessibility. In essence, presumably with no harm intended, people are finding it physically impossible to follow-up on an excess of incidental commitments.

We must reject Medicare that claims to pay for everything while rapidly setting up new boards and commissions, whose purpose is to eliminate benefits.

Anti-Semitism: The Same Old Lies Since 200 B.C.

Comments Off

180,000 Palestinians treated in Israel hospitals – WHY? Electric service to Gaza Generated in Israel – WHY? The Sewer System of Gaza City being one big storm away from overflowing and causing Dysentery – WHY? Beyond anything else, it is the inability or unwillingness of the “Palestine” Powers that be to use the Billions in aid given them by the US and EU to remedy any of these problems. Considering the circumstances – Does Israel owe the “Palestinian” Population anything? Absolutely Not!

Obama spreads false claim that Thomas Jefferson hosted first Ramadan iftar dinner at White House

Comments Off
by    in Constitution,Islam,Thinking

The State Department retails the PC myth in this article, “Thomas Jefferson’s Iftar,” July 29. Nor is this the first time this falsehood has gone around: the State announcement quotes Barack Obama saying last year: “Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been a part of America.

Did Noah’s Flood Cover the Himalayan Mountains?

Comments Off
by    in Bible Centered,Creationism,Humanism,Progressism,Secularism,Thinking

Through the centuries, few Christians questioned this doctrine. The Bible said it, and that was enough—until the late 1700s that is. For the first time the globe was being explored—the extremely lofty Himalayan Mountains were surveyed, capped by Mt. Everest at 29,035 feet in elevation. Did the waters cover them? Is there enough water on the planet to do so? The questions seemed so far-fetched that many European churchmen dismissed the idea that the Flood was global, adopting the local flood concept which still dominates Christian colleges and seminaries today. Like dominos, other doctrines soon began to fall—the young age for the earth, the special creation of plants and animals, and the inerrancy of Scripture.

Isn’t the Southern Poverty Law Center the Real Hate Group?

Comments Off

What is the SPLC’s criteria for such extreme charges? It claims that the groups in question (which include the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America) knowingly disseminate false information and demonizing propaganda about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, as documented by them (I use the word “documented” lightly) in their report “10 Anti-Gay Myths Debunked,” published late last year.

Needless Things

Comments Off
by    in Education,Freedom,Progressism,Thinking

I live down the street from several of these inner-city arts centers set up to teach poor kids dance, art and music education, all of them run by guilt-stricken trust fund babies who want to “give back.” Their idea of giving back is to teach traditional capoeira Angola to inner city kids.
Of course, what inner city kids really need is for a trade unionist to “give back” and take them on as apprentices and teach them practical skills, especially since the city’s public schools won’t. (Public schools likewise like to teach the “visual and performing arts.” It’s so much more fun than, say, fractions.) What these poor kids do not need to learn is how to make esoteric conceptual art. How is that going to help them end the cycle of poverty? Even if they became artists or musicians they will still be dirt poor.

Washington’s Unlimited Credit Card Limit

Comments Off
by    in Economics,Freedom,Politcal,Thinking

In order to balance the budget, the government must do what a majority of Americans, up to now, have not wanted it to do: Cut programs, and that includes at least long-term cuts in Medicare.

Patriotic Stirrings in the Real America

Comments Off
by    in Constitution,Freedom,Self Defense,Thinking

Out here in the real America, patriotism supersedes socioeconomics. Furthermore, “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design” antithetical to American freedom, “it is their right, it is their duty,” to become active in the civic realm — and to set things right. Those children in Independence Day parades — all across the “red” and “purple” states of the USA — certainly deserve no less.

Ready for the government to regulate the interstate commerce in your stomach?

Comments Off
by    in Constitution,Freedom,Obama,Progressism,Socialism,Thinking

Will asked them a question to test if they thought there is any significant limitation on congressional power under the Commerce Clause:

WILL: … Let me ask the three of you. Obviously, obesity and its costs affect interstate commerce. Does Congress have the constitutional power to require obese people to sign up for Weight Watchers? If not, why not?
