• Why Are All the Leftist Politicians Who Hate the Rich…So Filthy Rich?

  May 18, 2012 at 1:51pm

  Actually, the leftist rich people engineer the tax code such that their investments and revenue streams are not taxed. That leaves suckers that actually have earned income paying for it all. Ever wonder why capital gains taxes are 15%? Or that tax free munis are tax free? Or that real estate has such favorable tax shelters? The reason is that those income sources are the primary income sources of the wealthy, and are what is handed down most often in inheritances.

  In a leftists mind, their wealth is simply the means by which they control others, through favors, political deals, lobbying, and insider information. They believe its their right to rule, and they naturally look down on those who are self made “nouveau riche”. Leftists are merely an extension of the age of aristocracy, who see people as things to be traded, controlled, and as lesser people.

• ‘Get on the Ground!’: Chaos Erupts as Gunfire Rings Out While News Crew Reports on Different Shooting

  Welp, guess the “non-black“ version of ”the talk” applies here.

  There are certain aspects of civilization that appear to be falling by the wayside in areas of the US. I wonder how long it will take to reach the kind of daily life seen in Iraq?

  In reply to Bluntobj.

  Should also mention that anyone asking for a dollar on the street at 3 AM is to be regarded as suspicious anyway.

  I can’t help thinking back to the fired national review columnist and his “rules for white people” column.

  Perhaps someone should write a “rules for civilized people”, one that says being on the street in a large city at night is a bad idea. Thuggery knows no color definition, but they tend to concentrate in cities.

• MSNBC Technical Hiccup Leads to Sarkozy Being Called a ‘Prostitute’

  This is a lot like the cable company “malfunctions” that caused hardcore porn to be inserted into news broadcasts.

  I think that this might be the efforts of “Anonymous”, who may have realized that defacing websites is about as effective as smearing ketchup on a window and calling it spray paint. It’s much more effective annoyance when you embarrass the powers that be publicly….

  @VoteRightDammit:

  Um, how does the statement “When doctrinaire squabbles become the primary focus, the main virtues that were preached by Jesus fall by the wayside” equal Moral Relativism? I think this comment sank a little close to the bone for you. As someone who has seen the vengeful nature of doctrine and dogma oriented people I am standing on the rock when I say that a Law oriented approach is exactly what the Pharisees had, and they were not Jesus’ favorites in the NT.

  The gospels of Jesus were hijacked by Paul who slathered law right back over what Jesus had preached. You can see this evident in the mechanistic approach to religion that the Catholic church has, as does the Orthodox church and most of Judaism.

  Obeying the law is important, as is faith. Going off balance toward law leads to domineering and vengeful spirits, and going off balance toward faith only leaves a hollow core of “Moral Relativism” that you mention.

  It is imperative that a Christian must remain in balance, obeying the laws of god in his mind, and maintaining a spirit similar to Jesus in his heart. The control mechanism for doing so is to be involved with helping people, being humble, and exercising constant judgment against those who would control, domineer, and denounce others to hide their own flaws.

  It’s very much like the stand conservatives must take against liberals and the RINOs that run the Republican Party.

  When doctrinaire squabbles become the primary focus, the main virtues that were preached by Jesus fall by the wayside. Things like charity, compassion, forgiveness, humility, etc. are ground down by false Christians who seek to control others and to maximize their image as “good christians” in their victims minds and hearts.

  This. The religion I grew up in was very Apollonian; vocal hymns only, quiet, meditative, small congregations. I just can’t get into the Dionysian worship style. It seems very irreverent. When you get down to it though, worship style does not really matter when it comes to faith.
