More harm was done in the 20th century by faceless bureaucrats than tyrant dictators.
In a lifetime of observing and participating in political debate, I have seen a lot of meanness.
I have spent a good part of my life showing what an intellectual bubble the Left lives in.
For the Left, affluence is won, not earned.
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.
Every person who speaks or writes for the public will make an occasional faux pas, and sooner or later will write or say something inappropriate.
Also, when you escape a Communist regime, you treasure liberty and you understand that as government and state expand, liberty must contract.
Those who are compassionate when they should be tough will be tough when they should be compassionate.
The universities deceive when they say they have no agenda other than to open minds.
The problem for the Left, however, is that the moment it stops painting the Right as vile, it has to argue the issues.
The only difference between your local college and a Christian seminary is that the latter is more honest.
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.
Most young people have tremendous respect for older people’s views.
Complaining not only ruins everybody else’s day, it ruins the complainer’s day, too. The more we complain, the more unhappy we get.
Once enough Americans reacquaint themselves with Americanism, we should promote it to all countries just as the Left promotes leftism and Muslims promote Islam. One need not be American to affirm Americanism.
We have a moral obligation to act happy even if we don’t feel it.
The easily embarrassed doesn’t learn.
Grateful people are good people, and good people are happy people.
The right wing walks the walk; the left wing taxes the people that walk the walk.
Parents are flawed human beings who are given a role that more approximates that of God than of mere mortals.
