Why Atheism Leads to Insanity

 People are often puzzled by the "insanity" of liberal positions.  Homosexual marriage is normal, abortion is "choice," disarmament is safety, high taxes lead to prosperity are but a few examples. 

 

  The reason I believe is that most liberals to a greater or lesser degree have either abandoned their belief in God, or they pay him only lip service, changing Him into an adult version of Santa Claus.  I know there are conservatives that do the same, but I think on balance the liberals of guiltier of this.  

  This sort of thinking, ultimately and inevitably leads to insanity.  Why is this?

  God is the creator of the universe, which is to say He is the creator of reality and is the basis of reality.  Therefore, if one rules out God, one rules out the basis of reality itself.  When one rules out the basis of reality one necessarily starts the slow drift into insanity.

  This happens at both the personal and societal levels.  I am reminded of William F. Buckley's famous question, "Is it possible for a nation to go insane?"  The answer, sadly, is yes.  And it is inevitable when God is forgotten.  Look at Europe--the continent has given itself over to pleasure seeking and comfort as the organizing principle and consequently the populace has become too selfish to breed a replacement population.  

Yes, despite the self-serving propaganda to the contrary, the selfish thing to do is to not have children.  This is not done for the sake of the environment, but rather to ensure a higher level of comfort and convenience for oneself.

And, I must speculate, that perhaps there is another reason for it as well--when one doesn't know the answer to life's basic questions--where am I from?  where am I going? what is the point of it all?--then one becomes very uncomfortable.  The birth of every child forces one, at some level or other, to think about these questions.  If one does not know the answers, or worse still, has answered there is no God and no answer, then the arrival of a child is an existentially terrifying event.  At this moment, the void in one's soul opens up and one stares into the pit-- of what?  A black void? A sea of flames?  Death eternal? 

 

   When a believer in God has a child, he or she is conscious of having parented a human soul, beloved of God, fortunate to be alive, with an eternal destiny, worth far more than a new car, or Ipod, or HDTV.  At that supreme existential moment, the religious person looks into the eyes of his infant child and sees the gates of heaven.

Disqualifying Palin

Well, as usual, Obama's strategy is, if you can't lick 'em, disqualify them.  And that is what he and his flunkies in the media especially the New York Times are trying to do.  Make it so hot for Palin that she will withdraw, then he and his Marxist pals at the Slimes can hoist their champagne glasses and drink their sneering toasts to the destruction of you, the American people.

Look at this oh, so shocking, revelations from the New York Times hit piece.

"When Ms. Palin had to cut her first state budget, she avoided the legion of frustrated legislators and mayors. Instead, she huddled with her budget director and her husband, Todd, an oil field worker who is not a state employee, and vetoed millions of dollars of legislative projects."

Gasp!  Oh, horror of horrors.  She consulted with someone who was not on the state payroll about where to cut the pork.  It was her husband, for crying out loud.  Earth to New York Slimes, this is typical spousal behavior.  It happens all the time in the real world.  In happy  marriages the spouses consult about work problems with each other so there is no excuse for this kind of sloppy reporting.  It is a source of amazement to everybody in this country who actually works for a living and has to be competent to keep their job that reporters like you manage to retain your high paid positions without a stitch of competency.  In other words, why doesn't your boss fire you?

By the way, Hillary's big selling point was that she was at Bill's side consulting with him on every major decision every step of the way.  Is that role only for the "little woman?"  You hypocritical, sexist pigs at the New York Slimes make me sick. 

 "But an examination of her swift rise and record as mayor of Wasilla and then governor finds that her visceral style and penchant for attacking critics — she sometimes calls local opponents “haters”"

"Visceral style?" Like making cracks about being a pit bull, and joking about the anointed

one,  Saint Obama (or is it Obama the Christ) himself She called local "critics" haters? Were

they like her critics at the Arianna's Huff and Puff Post, or the New York Slimes or in 

Hollywood? If they are, then I forgive her for calling them haters and so should you.

The hit piece also points out that Palin has fired opponents and ruffled feathers. Earth to 

Times, earth to Times, that's how you get things done, not just in politics, but also in business, 

in sports, and just about everywhere else in the world.

One of the "firings" of State Safety Commissoner, Walt Monegan, is a non-starter.

Alledgely, she fired him for not firing her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper, after he supposedly 

committed numerous indiscretions and, it is claimed, threatened to kill her father.

Actually, I think she's too soft. If somebody threatened to kill my father I would have fired

him myself, and I wouldn't have let his boss resign--I would have fired him too.

Yes, despite all the Democratic yelping, the man was not fired, he resigned. He was offered

a reassignment to another job, got in a huff and quit. Now, if my boss gives me a new task at

work and I quit, guess what, the unemployment office says I quit. That is the law in most states.

It may not be particularly fair, but it's not illegal. It's irrelavant. Maybe he wanted the governor

in fear for the safety of her family. Not knowing his politics, it's hard to say. But me, I would

have fired him outright.

I know the Democrats don't know how to win elections on the issues, but you would think

they could do better than this.

How Government Help Hurts the Helpee

BART in San Francisco wants to impose a fare increase on all the peasants who actually work for a living and don't have the bucks to drive any more, after no drill politics have sent the price of gas sky high. These increased fares will fall on those hours when people actually go to and come from work.  Like proposed tolls on freeways or driving downtown during rush hour, it will hit the little drones again while the elite who can afford it drive to work in the comfort of their cars.

What is truly obnoxious about this is the way it is presented as something you can avoid by changing your behavior.   This is such a sleazy, smug little lie.  People have to go to work.  They aren't going shopping at 8 or 9 in the morning--they're going to work.  That means they have to go!  They can't alter this behavior and the powers at BART and other government bureaucracies know this.  It is a yet another tax on the working class, and like bailouts of the fabulously wealthy bankers and foreign dictators it is financed by the peasantry (that's you).

This is the way the government works.  Hand out the bennies to you until you depend on them, then when you're vulnerable and over the barrel, they take full advantage, and call it kindness.

Whenever the government offers to help, remember the rule is, "Thanks, but no thanks."  And, insist on lower fuel prices so you can keep the comfort, safety and convenience of your own private automobile.

The Pavlovian Dogs of the Democratic Party

Democratic Party leaders have learned over time that the easiest way to motivate their rank and file is to give them someone to hate.  The mob must have its red meat every day.  It is the hallmark of stupid people that they cannot indulge in logical discussions permeated by good will.  They are not capable of discussing issues calmly and rationally and agreeing to disagree.   In short the discourse of a democratic society is beyond the reach of stupid people and stupid people are the lifeblood of the Democratic Party. 

  

The democratic party goes from election to election desperately searching for someone to feed to its hate seeking followers.  Truman hurled vile invectives against his opponents, FDR demonized the successful, the party slandered Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, hounded George Bush and now have found a woman to hate--Sarah Palin.  

The desire to motivate the Democratic moronic rank and file accounts for the unceasing lies and slanders hurled against this mother of five, this patriot, who represents the best qualities of her sex.  And it will work--Democrats are, by and large, life's losers, incapable of self-sacrificial love, of the highest realms of selfless devotion to cause that has characterized the true patriot and lover of country.

Quick test--if Democrats are not moronic, hate dripping fools why do they favor abortion?  The right to choose is such an imbecilic, infantile sad excuse for a slogan to justify infanticide that only those who are totally blinded by their own selfish needs and greeds could fall for it.  It is a tribute to the naive innocence and trusting good-will of conservatives and Republicans that they do not see the inherent phoniness of the phrase.  But no one who truly loves others can be in favor of the right to choose to slaughter the pre-birthing event infant.  All claims to be in favor of human rights or worker's rights or labor's rights or women's rights are totally bogus if not backed up by the right to life. 

 

Let me make that plainer.  If someone doesn't believe in the right to life then the claim to believe in any other kind of right is a big fat lie!  

Democrats stop the lying!  You only believe in rights because you expect to make a buck out of it at the end of the day.  The lie ends now.  Admit it!  You're a bunch of greedy murderers and self-seekers.  You're only out for yourselves and you'll kill anybody that gets in your way including the beautiful, innocent pre-birthing event infants.

And that is why you democrat rank and file, you morons, you stupid, stupid people need someone to hate, just the way Christ was hated.  You want your victims to be innocent because your inner demons demand innocent blood.  You have lost all your own innocence and the innocence of your own victims shines back a mirror to your own guilt and corruption, driving you mad with rage.  

But, what is the reason?  You were human beings once.  Could it be that you were deliberately turned into hate-filled animals.  Could you be the end result of Pavlov's experiments in Stalin's Russia in the 1930's?  Pavlov would sound a bell every day at feeding time.  One day he sounded the bell but provided no food.  The dogs still salivated. 

 

I believe you were conditioned by the mainstream media to be like the dogs of Pavlov's experiment and respond to stimuli and froth at the mouth every time the bell rings.  Now, when you hear the words Christian or conservative or pro-life the conditioning takes over your little doggie brains and you snarl and bark and attack and amuse your masters to no end.

Yes, you are conditioned little fools, responding to the stimuli hoping to be allowed to lick your master's hand and get your daily bowl of dog food.  But, there is a way out.  Turn off the TV and read the Bible.  Go to Church--more than once a week.  Your humanity will be restored, your sins will be forgiven, you'll realize that all life is sacred and that Sarah Palin is a blessing from God.

Does Hillary Clinton Secretly Crave Abusive Men?

Come on, it's obvious isn't it? The brave upper lip, the dutiful, resolute chin. Poor Hillary. All that feminist propaganda and she's the classic battered spouse. She comes crawling back on her knees, begging for more every time. (News flash--people who seek to be battered do not make good Presidents.)

Did I say "seek?" Yes, I did.

All of Bill's infidelities, and she managed to smile through it all and put on the happy face. She even stood by Bill during his speeches and gave him the adoring Nancy Reagan look, even as he was engaging in still more affairs.

But now, the unkindest cut of all. Denied the nomination for President by yet another man and then betrayed and abandoned, with not even a nomination for Vice-President to her name.

And she comes crawling back on her knees. Like always. Yes, she will campaign for all the chauvinists that stabbed her in the back. Brave little Hillary.

Poor, sad, pathetic little Hillary. If you didn't know anything about her, Whitewater, the incredibly vicious travel office firings (Travelgate), you might even feel sorry for her. But, you know about those things so you don't feel sorry for her do you? Because, somehow, she gets some sick satisfaction out of this, some inner urge is satisfied (oh, heck, I guess I do feel sorry for her).

But, none of that is the point. The point is, I can't help but wonder if all feminists crave abuse. Maybe, this is why they want so many laws passed--they're too psychologically sick to defend themselves. Republican, Independent and conservative women in general are strong, psychologically capable of taking care of themselves and picking men that are loving, kind, generous, good providers and protectors rather than predators.

Liberal women, feminists and Democratic women are the kind that marry Bill Clinton.

Small Town Mayors and Families vs. Community Organizers

I was gratified and surprised by the acceptance of Sarah Palin's thrilling Veep  speech last night.  Many of the commentators on MSNBC and CNN were actually impressed.  However, there was some surprising grousing.  One commentator on CNN (Sorry.  I didn't get his name, my journalism skills are very rusty) actually said community organizers were going to be upset by her disparaging remarks about community organizers. 

Excuse me.  Did any of the liberal whiners not notice the content of the remark?  She said the difference between an organizer and a small time mayor is that a mayor has responsibilities.  She brought it up because the democrats were making fun of her as "only" a small town mayor.  Is she not allowed to defend herself?  Is she not allowed to defend small town mayors?  Is the democratic party going to apologize to all the small town mayors who work so hard (quite often for no pay) and diligently for their towns?

It is so typical of thin skinned democrats and liberals that they can dish it out, but they can't take it.  They fell free to criticize, demean and belittle, but when the shoe is on the other foot, they immediately cry foul.

I won't comment further on Palin's speech.  I will comment on her family however.  She has one.  A real one.  Not a token daughter.  She truly loves her first child.  So much, that she had four more.  She is a true feminist which is to say that she is a true woman.  In fact, there is no way on can be a real feminist without being a feminine woman first.  More on that in future days.

Shrek is Dreck

I hate to offend (honest, I do) people who love their kids, but I'm going to take a chance.  This is very late to be bringing this up, but I'm new to the blogging game, and I have a little catching up to do.  So, let me get a pet peeve off my chest.

I would never take anybody under the age of 20 to a Shrek movie.  It's fun entertainment for adults, but, I believe, it is psychologically devastating to youngsters. 

I would refer everybody to the seminal work on fairy tales by Bruno Bettleheim, "The Uses of Enchantment."  In this masterful work, he argues insightfully and convincingly that the work of fairy tales is to help young children work out their developmental  problems in the neutral subliminal setting of the story itself.  Here, issues of developing sexuality, power struggles and resentments against parents can be safely resolved by stories about wicked witches, wolves and step-parents.

One of the most important tasks, Bettleheim points out, is to help the child achieve full maturation psychologically.  This is achieved by the use of princes and princesses, and kings and queens.  These represent, not a brief for royalty, but the highest self which the psyche is capable of attaining.

The problem with the Shrek movies is that they delight in glorifying the lower self.  They pull the child down and entomb him in his lower impulses and desires with their jokes about flatulence, their celebration of ugliness and their mockery of traditional fairy tale figures.  These features are prominent and persistent enough that one might suspect a malicious intent, although I certainly hope that is not the case.  All of which leads to conclude that showing these movies to children is a subtle, but psychologically dangerous form of child abuse.

I know many will object that the movies are in good fun, and only point out that true beauty is within.  This is a fine message for adults, but to children it has to be demoralizing and dangerous to the maturational process.  I strongly recommend that you destroy any and all video copies you have of these movies if that is what it takes to keep them out of the hands of children.  Of course, for adult viewing, apart from the grossness of the humor, one could watch these--but why would one want to?

Go, Sarah, go!

John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as Veep running mate is sensational.  He has finally given the conservative base of his party something solid to cheer about.  Now the conservative and evangelical wing of the party must stand and deliver.  They must deliver more than votes--they must deliver time, money and energy.  They must get off the fence and avoid third party choices and none of the above thinking.

Why?  Because this is their big chance to prove that giving them what they want pays dividends to the Republican party so that they will get more of what they want.  If they don’t respond the party will claim they cannot be mollified, so why bother?

By the way, if John McCain dies on his first day in office, Sara Palin is still more qualified to be President than Barack Hussein Obama.  True, she had no experience in corrupt Chicago politics--but she does know more about the real problems of the average small American than either Democratic candidate.  She’s actually run a business and knows first hand about what small business people go through.

Are you a Union member?  Sara has belonged to a Union and her husband is a member of the Steelworker’s Union.  She’s the workingman’s and workingwoman’s candidate.  Why would you give your vote to candidates whose only union experience is shaking hands with the members on the campaign trail?  Have Obama and Biden ever done an honest day’s work in their lives?  They care about the average worker?   Puullleze!

Foreign policy?  Hey, her state of Alaska is 90 miles away from the Big Bear Russia and they want Alaska back.  Don’t think she hasn’t thought about foreign policy.

Who understands more about the needs of women, kids and the family than a mom with five kids of her own?  This is not only a great nomination for women, it is an ever greater nomination for mothers and families.  And it is a great inspiration for all those women who are afraid to have large families.  Go, Sarah, go!
