Ahhhh, the stench of progressive tolerance and inclusion in the morning. . .
The man who gave us the Pentagon Papers says, "Obama is deceiving us."
Is B.O. "the alien in the White House"?
Do feminists disparage conservative women at their peril?
The BP oil spill did not happen b/c of Reaganesque de-regulation. It happened b/c BP imprudently climbed in bed with Big Government. The media are being prevented from reporting on the effects of the spill by BP and local/federal government officials.
Primary victories show that the political thuggery of unions is really just bad performance art.
An example of judicial prose from back when judges studied classical rhetoric. Good stuff!
Judicial activism across the ideological spectrum. This is not surprising. Few people, believing their ideas to be true, and given the power to implement them, would resist the temptation to do so.
If pictures can speak a thousand words, then the doctored photos printed by Reuters scream, "We hate Israel!"
Stephen Hawking uses a false dichotomy between faith and reason to push for the superiority of science in human endeavors. Hawkins laughably claims that faith relies on authority alone while science relies on reason. Any anti-global warming scientists out there try to get published in Nature lately? Hawkins is a victim of what I call "alethic hubris" in my thesis.
Satan appeared in a church one day and said to an elderly man in the front pew. . .

Great joke.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Hawkins, Fulton Sheen had a few words that are still apropos:
ReplyDeleteA normal mind looking at the vast expanse of the heavens is naturally led to the conception of an Omnipotent Being Who threw them into space and endowed them with a law so that orb could pass by orb, and planet by planet, without ever a hitch or halt. It is an abnormal mind that begins immediately to think of pettiness when it sees power; it is not natural for a man who looks at a skyscraper to think of the littleness of the flea, but rather at the greatness of the mind that conceived it. A great mural pointing that covers the side of a corridor does not make a sane man think of a dwarf, but of an artist. When a modern mind stands amazed at the size of the cosmos and argues that even on this earth man is “far outdistanced by the cockroach,” he is indulging in the same kind of fallacious reasoning that would make him conclude that L’Enfant, who designed the city of Washington, is only an infant, because the city of Washington is bigger and bulkier and therefore better than he is.
…the first false assumption underlying this type of anemic thinking [is] that greatness is to be measured by quantity rather than by quality.
The cult of magnitude is driving the modern mind mad; it has so obscured its mental vision as to blind it to other dimensions than those of length, breadth, and thickness. It is well to remember that the contained is generally worth far more than the container, even though the contained rattle around in the container like a diamond in a cracker-box. The really great things of the world are not always the immense things…
