But it is one of these sort of mythologies about America and its intellectual history, that the right embraced this thing called social Darwinism, when it never did so.
stupid communication america
(T)he most important reason American leftists love France is that French elites say bad things about America. French intellectuals call us racist, stupid, imperialistic, simplistic, etc. ' and that alone is proof of their intellectualism. So long as you call America “racist,” you could add that an enema is as good as a toothbrush and some professor of “communications theory” would applaud.
europe america cost
In Europe and America alike, voters increasingly recognize that the benefits of the green revolution aren't worth the costs, particularly when the revolutionaries don't have a clue what they're doing.

You know those Navy SEALs, they weren't Democrats and Republicans. They were just doing what was best for America. Wouldn't that be a great country if all of you Americans were just like that? You followed orders, you marched in step and you followed my agenda.

accountant accused argument good nobody open point rather settle society sort worse wrongly

And so my only point on that is that it should open up an argument. It should not sort of settle one, because nobody disagrees with it.

This is not a story anymore about George Bush's service in the National Guard. It's a story about CBS.
equally liberty means perspective rank relativism tolerance truly turned
Liberty has turned into licentiousness, and tolerance for dissenters has become little more than rank relativism and nihilism. All perspectives are equally valid, which means no perspective is truly valid.

Men are disgusting and, left to their own devices, they will affront the central tenets of human decency - and laugh uproariously at it
answer claims conflict country desire fate hitch love patriot simple united
I have a simple answer to any American patriot who claims there is no conflict between his/her love of country and his/her desire to hitch our fate to the United Nations: 'You're mistaken.'

It's the nature of all relationships, really: The straw that breaks the camel's back is rarely the most obvious thing, ... meets the dictionary definition of a crony.
guilt spy president
Liberals and leftists have been dismissing inconvenient facts by attacking motives for generations. In the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, Soviet spies and abettors attacked the motives of their accusers because the fact of their guilt was undeniable. In the 1960s, over a thousand psychiatrists who'd never even met Barry Goldwater signed a petition saying the GOP candidate was too mentally unstable to be president.
