- Competition

I have spent a good part of my life showing what an intellectual bubble the Left lives in.
- America
- |

The Left is doing to America what it has done to almost everything it has deeply influenced - the arts, the university, religion, culture, minorities, Europe: ruining it.

Leftism seeks to undo most of the values that are distinct to Judeo-Christian religion.
- Conflict
- |

Two of the many areas of conflict between Judeo-Christian values and leftism concern the separation between the holy and the profane and the separation between humans and animals.
- Good

The essence of the Hebrew Bible, transmitted by Christianity, is separation: between life and death, nature and God, good and evil, man and woman, and the holy and the profane.

The fact is that not only do people get more wise and more conservative as they get older, they get more kind and more generous, too.
- Lazy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As you get older and wiser you realize that when people are given anything without having to earn it (unless they are physically or mentally utterly incapable of earning anything), they become ungrateful and lazy. They also become less happy.
- Behavior
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Left has always sought single, non-values-based explanations for human behavior.
- Dividing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Humanity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.

Every poll about the Left, the Right, and happiness reveals that the farther left one goes, the less happy the person is likely to be.
- Happiness
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Happiness is dependent on self-discipline. We are the biggest obstacles to our own happiness. It is much easier to do battle with society and with others than to fight our own nature.
- Day

- Nov 07, 2020
Complaining not only ruins everybody else's day, it ruins the complainer's day, too. The more we complain, the more unhappy we get.

- Believe
- |

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In a lifetime of observing and participating in political debate, I have seen a lot of meanness.

- Muslim
- |

- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Control
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The whole American experiment has been predicated on giving individuals as much control over their own lives as possible.
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For all of higher civilization's recorded history, becoming a man was defined overwhelmingly as taking responsibility for a family.
- Celebrate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To be told that one can be dependent on one's parents until age 26 should strike a young person who wants to grow up as demeaning, not as something to celebrate.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In various European countries, it is increasingly common for young men to live with their parents into their 30s and even longer. Why not? In the welfare state, there is no shame in doing so.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Free
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Biggest Obstacle
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The biggest obstacle to people becoming better is that you have to really want to be a good person in order to be a better person, and most people would rather be other things.
- Courage
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.
- Good People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People confuse goodness with weakness. It is weak people, not good people (goodness demands strength), who are taken advantage of.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
But if there is a just God, there is ultimate justice.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am convinced that great ideas that are powerfully presented can change a mind in five minutes.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most people who call themselves conservatives can't explain the American value system.
- God
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is easy to respect secular Americans who hold fast to the Constitution and to American values generally. And any one of us who believes in God can understand why some people, given all the unjust suffering in the world, just cannot believe that there is a Providential Being.
- Betrays
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To deny that human beings are filled with anti-social passions betrays a denial of reality and a lack of self-awareness. One has to be taught nonsense for a great many formative years to believe it.
- Greed
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If we weren't born with anti-social passions - narcissism, envy, lust, meanness, greed, hunger for power, just to name the more obvious - why the need for so many laws, whether religious or secular, that govern behavior?
- Excused
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most blacks want school vouchers, but most liberals vehemently oppose them. Why? Because what is good for teachers' unions is of more importance to the Left than what is good for blacks. Who, then, is racist? By their own admission, and by the policies they pursue, the answer is the people who call themselves progressive.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In colleges throughout America, students are taught to have disdain for the white race. I know this sounds incredible, or at least exaggerated. It is neither.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the biblical worldview, the purpose of all creation is to benefit man. This anthropocentric view of nature, and indeed of the whole universe, is completely at odds with the current secular idealization of nature. This secular view posits that nature has its own intrinsic meaning and purpose, independent of man.
- Bible
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Given the unprecedented ignorance of the Bible in contemporary America, it is likely that more young Americans will only know the Noah of 'Noah.' We can only hope that the film offers even a fraction of the wisdom of the original.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Having travelled to some 20 African countries, I find myself, like so many other visitors to Africa before me, intoxicated with the continent. And I am not referring to the animals, as much as I have been enthralled by them during safaris in Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Rather, I am referring to the African peoples.
