It will be noticed that I have not in effect argued against Universal Health Care. Rather, I made two important points. One is that there is nothing called the The Government which has its own resources to provide health care to Americans; rather, such health care is something to which taxpayers must contribute. The second point is that it is morally wrong to put this burden upon taxpayers and none upon those whose health care will be paid for. I would rather that there be an outright revolution in America than that we should accede to President Barack Obama’s myopic conception of universal health care—one that ignores the morality that people first have a moral obligation to promote their own health before they have any entitlement to the support of the American people.

Tout simple, nous devrions nous appuyer sur la liberty afin d’affirmer également la dignité de chaque personne, quelque soit son sexe ou la couleur de sa peau or bien son culte religieux. Il va sans dire que le port de la burqa est complètement incompatible avec une telle conception de la liberté. Continue reading →

The very idea of extending an “olive branch” to a person who denies the reality of American Slavery is simply unthinkable. If that is so, then has to be equally unacceptable to extend an “olive branch” to anyone who denies the reality of the Holocaust, as is the case with Ahmadinejad. And this tells us something very disturbing about Obama’s thinking. Continue reading →

The city of Bozeman, located in Montana, is forcefully raising a most profound question, namely: To what extent are the social-networking sites to which we belong relevant to the job that we seek to hold?  Here is the obvious: If … Continue reading →

Sometimes remarks are indecent no matter what one’s ideological leanings might be.  For instance, no matter what I think about a person’s political views, it would woefully and utterly inappropriate on moral grounds for me to intone, however, jokingly: “You … Continue reading →

The very idea of burning a gay novel is far more silly and absurd than any reasonable opposition that a group of Christian fundamentalists might have to such a novel.  And it really is a pity that this truth is … Continue reading →

Paying students to do well in school is rather like paying for sex.  That no doubt seems crass.  Alas, I think the analogy is right on point.  To have a regular habit of paying for sex is to forge the … Continue reading →

How about some tasty human fetus stew?  I have met many a liberal on abortion who insists that the fetus is not really a person.  However, I have never met one who has maintained that it would perfectly acceptable morally—since … Continue reading →

I never thought that I would live see the day when a woman who has been serially raped would claim that those who did such a thing to her nonetheless respected her and, moreover, there nothing resembling a public outcry on account of such claim. Even in an era when women were sometimes accused of “asking for it”, no one thought to claim that the man who committed the act of rape showed the woman any respect. Against this backdrop of Joanie de Rijke making just such a claim and the deafening silence by Liberals, only the angels of the Lord could give Wilders’ charge against Liberals greater credibility.

In the great debate regarding liberty, two of the greatest minds in intellectual thought‑‑namely Plato and John Stuart Mill‑‑are odds with one another.  Plato privileged moral excellence above liberty.  John Stuart Mill held that the exercise of liberty was necessary … Continue reading →
