moral socialism capitalism-and-socialism
Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution.
aspects bound gets god green merely morality process radical turns
'Noah' doesn't merely get the story wrong; like all Biblical adaptations, it's bound to do that (although some aspects of the film are out and out ridiculous). It gets the morality of the story wrong, and in the process turns God into Gaia and morality into radical deep green environmentalism.
against among coffin discussion final god government marriage moral nail obama president religion road sign supreme toward wisest
Same-sex marriage is not the final nail in the coffin for traditional marriage. It is just another road sign toward the substitution of government for God. Every moral discussion now pits the wisest moral arbiters among us - the Supreme Court, President Obama - against traditional religion.
dislike exchange forced moral owe product results simply sort states voluntary
Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don't give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution.
charity concept god lack left moral morally nor owed people poor religious rich simply socialist success superior utterly
Socialism has no moral justification whatsoever; poor people are not morally superior to rich people, nor are they owed anything by rich people simply because of their lack of success. Charity is not a socialist concept - it is a religious one, an acknowledgment of God's sovereignty over property, a sovereignty the Left utterly rejects.
lines disappointing bottom
The bottom line is this: Miers is a disappointing pick.
running depressing hurt
Every so often, we all gaze into the abyss. It's a depressing fact of life that eventually the clock expires; eventually the sand in the hourglass runs out. It's the leaving behind of everything that matters to us that hurts the most.
media political president
Primarily affecting low-information voters and members of the mainstream media, Obama Worship Syndrome attributes impossible capabilities to Obama's political opponents, finds excuses for every Obama failure in everyone around him and praises the president as the finest politician - nay, human being - of our time.
cutting america enemy
Historically, defense spending cuts have preceded increased international turmoil as America's global enemies sense a failure of will.
book waiting paper
Wait, Wikipedia isn't working? Why hasn't someone invented a paper version of it? A set of books organized alphabetically by topic?
believe rights office
Too many Americans now believe that the checks they receive every month from the unemployment office - like the checks they get from the welfare office, from Medicare, from Social Security - are inalienable rights. They are not.
hate roots america
In short, I don't root against President Obama because I hate America. I root against President Obama because I hate his vision for America.
jobs simple government
The story of Detroit's bankruptcy was simple enough: Allow capitalism to grow the city, campaign against income inequality, tax the job creators until they flee, increase government spending in order to boost employment, promise generous pension plans to keep people voting for failure. Rinse, wash and repeat.
country generations empty
Never before in our country's history has a generation been so empowered, so wealthy, so privileged - and yet so empty.
