  • Obama on Occupy Wall Street: ‘We’re On Their Side’

    In reply to Kerri g.

    The Tea Party is the group trying to revive the ideas that made America strong. OWS seems to be repeating the dialectics that’s been destroying Western civilization for the last century.

  • If progressive’s are correct, Obama‘s running around the world apologizing for the United States as if it were the cause of the world’s problem will stop people from seeing the United States as the source of the, uh, world’s problem.

    BTW, I am glad the Nobel committee gave Obama his Peace Prize before doing anything as I his administration is batting zero on the issues that could lead to real peace.

  • If the union thugs had a clue, they’d be violently breaking into the meetings of the AFL-CIO as the unions themselves are the biggest job killers on the planet.

  • The really funny thing about this billboard is that “reason” plays a central role in the Christian tradition. (CS Lewis found that if one examines Christianity as if it were a myth, one will discover it is a well reasoned myth, ie, the true myth Historically, we find Christians were engaged in the process of reason from day one, with intense intellectual efforts such as scholasticism..

    (I hold with CS Lewis that it is beneficial to examine Christianity as a myth, for we end up learning a lot about the western tradition this way).

    Conversely, on reading leftist literature, one finds that myth plays as central a goal in leftist thinking as Christianity. Of course, the left is interested in engineering society through the creation of new myth. For example, the idea of a black man rising to the presidency and giving the people socialized medicine is a central myth of the left.

    The left cried racism to every attempt to debate health care because the theme fits their stinking little myth.

    If one actually spent time studying the modern uses of the term “myth.” One realizes that this is a truly absurd billboard. Atheists and other fanatics of the left are as entrenched in their own mythologies as Christians.
