Todays New Atheists appear to hate religion with the desire to destroy and degrade it. An earlier man with the desire to destroy religion was Karl Marx. The Eastern European and Asian nations that rose to power in the Twentieth Century followed his design of communism and their master’s desire to suppress religion. The results [...]

Dave’s Quote of the Day
“Succinctly, ‘Progressivism’ is the incremental taking of freedom in exchange for growing servitude to the state, benefiting those it selects to receive the product of your labor, your intellect, your talents and skills. It is corrosive to societies, does not progress them in any way. Those who promote it will call sell it as ‘fair’, but it is entirely the opposite.” -Unknown

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

SOCK-PUPPET MEDIA AND THE ‘ART’ OF DISCOMBOBULATING SURVEY RESULTS Remember the old joke illustrating the U.S.S.R.’s Communist propagandist means of reporting the “news”? A (hypothetical) foot-race was held between an American runner and a runner from the Soviet Union. The American won – convincingly. The next day, the Soviet mouthpiece, TASS, dutifully reported the results [...]

MISGUIDED PRESIDENT’S WORLDVIEW NAIVE AND DANGEROUS FROM THE BEGINNING As Lord Obama jetted off to Hawaii on his $4 million vacation, I couldn’t help but think about his incredulous claim of being the fourth greatest president in the history of America.

Breaking Bad: When States Become Evil
Evil states aren’t suddenly thrust upon a people, with a madman declaring his intentions to brutally enslave a people. Although evil statesdon’t appear announced, there are warnings that such regimes are impending, despite all propaganda slogans of the party’s admirable intentions.
One can tell that a state is becoming evil when there is a moral separation of means and ends. If evil is advocated by major political forces to accomplish the utopian or unreasonable good, then events are put into motion that lead inexorably to misery and even bloodshed on a massive scale.

The monetary system is failing because today, the government is the emperor and the money is the emperor’s new clothes, a scam perpetrated by government. It began in 1932 when Franklyn Roosevelt decreed one night that Americans owning gold were criminals and substituted worthless paper for gold and silver. Like so many others, it’s a something-for-nothing con, based on [...]

ObamaCare expects to cut health care costs while delivering more and better care, we remember.

What Do Fred Flintstone & the Occult Have In Common?
ANSWER: THEY BOTH WEAR SILLY UNIFORMS
My father sent me an email recently in response to a theoretical question I had concerning the Messiah for whom the Jews are waiting. I was wondering if they knowingly rejected Christ or if they truly still thought that God would send a great king with armies as their Messiah. I mean, if Jesus is the Messiah (and he is), then it should be evident to all who seek him, right? Being the son of God is no small thing. The son of God would have a presence that would be undeniable. And Jesus’ presence is undeniable. (Hence, the hate he and God draw from so-called unbelievers. You never see them hating on Mohammad, do you?) And being so self-evident, if the Jews reject him, then they are rejecting God. Read the rest of this entry

Just Who Is Fighting the Class War

When the left gets desperate, their “go to” move is to play a card, usually race, but from time to time, class. (That would be class in the milieu of caste or socio-economic strata, not good manners. Two completely different concepts.) The race message, the one that said middle America wasn’t ready for a black [...]

Dave’s Quote of the Day
“…[I]t is to the property of the citizen, and not to the demands of the creditor of the state, that the first and original faith of civil society is pledged. The claim of the citizen is prior in time, paramount in title, superior in equity. The fortunes of individuals, whether possessed by acquisition or by descent or in virtue of a participation in the goods of some community, were no part of the creditor’s security, expressed or implied…[T]he public, whether represented by a monarch or by a senate, can pledge nothing but the public estate; and it can have no public estate except in what it derives from a just and proportioned imposition upon the citizens at large.” – Edmund Burke

America’s decline accelerates under both governmental economic mismanagement and deliberate policy but neither is as threatening as the civil war shaping up between religious and unbelieving political factions.

GERMANY DOESN’T NEED WWIII TO CONQUER EUROPE- IT JUST BOUGHT IT
DAVID CAMERON STANDING STRONG, BUT STARTING TO WAFFLE…
by The Rebel
“BRUSSELS— The European Union said Friday that 26 of its 27 member countries are open to joining a new treaty tying their finances together to solve the euro crisis. Only Britain remains opposed, creating a deep rift in the union. In marathon overnight talks, the 17 countries that use the euro gradually persuaded nearly all the others to consider joining the new treaty they would create. Some of those countries may face parliamentary opposition to the treaty, which would allow for unprecedented oversight of national budgets.”
Germany has nearly accomplished its lifelong goal of conquering Europe. And nary a shot has been fired. Turns out that all they needed to do was buy it. I happened to be in Germany working as a contractor when the Euro was being shoved down Europe’s throat. No one trusted it. Read the rest of this entry

It’s been over three decades since John Lennon was shot. A tragedy regardless of who he was, but almost as tragic is the sort of rose-colored hagiography that surrounds the thinking man’s MopTop.

President Obama’s latest speech should put to bed any doubts that our dear leader is anything but a socialist.

Barack Obama is either living in his own little fantasy world or trying to lull Americans to sleep by reading from his liberal-progressive, “Big Book of Fairy Tales.” Nothing approaching reality could explain the litany of inconsistent, unimaginable policies and statements coming from this President.

Not too long ago, I read a quote from a non-American who says that Americans are one of the most enslaved peoples in world history. Really? Most Americans would argue that we are free.
