Do not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Democratic movers and shakers are obsessed with climate change and sermonize about ending fossil fuels. Diversity, equity, and inclusion -- all mandated equality-of-result agendas -- are their cultural religion, along with transgender advocacy, and abortion on demand in all 50 states.

— Victor Davis Hanson, Hoover Institution

Our atheist elite doesn’t believe in after-life judgments, or reincarnation to a higher life. Rather, in a democracy where the majority are supposedly sovereign, this ruling minority caught up in the moment, worries their high position is temporary, facing constant challenge. To stay on top, “the ends justify the means.” The ends justify lying.

Michael Boskin of Stanford, a former Council of Economic Advisors chair, challenges elected leaders instead to pursue a positive goal: “restore citizens’ faith in the superiority of capitalist democracy.”

The tissue connecting free enterprise, democracy, and religious morality is “postponement of gratification.” Faith in the future. Provide children education and a code to live by, work hard, save for tomorrow, actions sustained by love, the unproven force for good. Our atheist elite does strive to benefit family as well as self, but won't preach similar virtues for the rest of us. 

America's secular elite has its own religion: three Absolutes (as suggested by Apocalypse Never's Michael Shellenberger as well as Hanson -- see above):

I. Eliminate fossil fuels (thereby undermining free enterprise).

II. Pursue 100% racial equity (assuring permanent power, since that goal is unattainable).

III. Guarantee body autonomy (abort fetus, change sex—permissive mandates).

Everything else is Relative, underpinned by lies. Examples: 

  • leaking secret information to friendly media.
  • using unionized teachers, no parents involved, to re-write American history.
  • pushing “small” Constitution fixes (admit new states, end filibuster, end electoral college, pack Supreme Court).
  • censoring other side’s “misinformation” and “disinformation”. 
  • claiming violence-inducing words come only from the right.
  • legalizing marijuana, the gateway drug.
  • “re-imagining” police power and bail.
  • excusing crime stemming from broken childhoods.
  • treating borders and prisons as artificial constructs.
  • preserving guns for lawbreakers, not for law-abiding.
  • calling picture IDs voter suppression.
  • buying elections with massive negative ad spending.
  • paying government poll workers to generate Democratic votes.
  • staffing a Department of (unequal) “Justice” with its own Secret Police.

“Anti-Racism” = Leftism's Racism

Bari Weiss                        Batya Ungar-Sargon The founding documents were .   .   . “magnificent,” as Martin Luther King Jr. put it, because they were “a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.” In other words: The founders themselves planted the seeds of slavery’s destruction. And our second founding fathers—abolitionists like Frederick Douglass—made it so. America would never be perfect, but we could always strive toward building a more perfect union. No longer. American liberalism is under siege. — Bari Weiss, Tablet   Bari Weiss resigned in protest last July from the New York Times . You can read  her resignation letter, which in part states, “intellectual curiosity—let alone risk-taking—is now a liability at The Times .” To me, Weiss is a hero. Batya Ungar-Sargon on Twitter praised  Weiss’ letter. The two shar...

"Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light. They loved darkness because what they did was evil." — John 3:19 Trump indictment politics have created “an alliance between different groups that have a history of being discriminated and dispossessed against, whether they are Jews, or black Americans, or LGBT folks that might come together to push back against the white Christian assault on American democracy .” [emphasis added] — Peter Beinart, CUNY, MSNBC from “Tucker Carlson” @ :05, 4/4/23  “If we look through history, people who were advocating for social justice, for example, if they had only used the legal methods, then we wouldn’t be where we are today.”  — Greta Thunberg, Environmental Activist from “The View,” ABC 2/17/23 America’s sharp political division today is, at base, conflict between believers and non-believers in God. In John’s terms, it’s those seeking to follow the way versus those who reject any religious moral code. Where John...

Obama: Affirmative Action Man

Richard H. Sander and Stuart Taylor, Jr. have written Mismatch: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It’s Intended to Help, and Why Universities Won’t Admit It . Their comprehensive study says university affirmative action students often rank low in their class and struggle to finish college or pass professional exams. And whatever their academic achievements, affirmative action arguably  both stigmatizes its beneficiaries and, knowing they have gained preferential treatment, compromises their self-esteem and self-respect. Obama at Harvard Law Barack Obama is America’s Affirmative Action Man. As with lesser known affirmative action beneficiaries, he’ll never know where he’d be if affirmative action hadn’t pushed him forward.   Obama in 1991 became the first African-American President of the Harvard Law Review. Six years later, he was an Illinois State Senator, and a further decade on, was running for U.S. President. The honor for 90 years until the 1970s of leading the ...
