sex children glimpse
I'd like to know why sociologists can't decide whether movie sex and violence has any effect on children, but there's a universal consensus that even a glimpse of a Camel will force children to become lifelong smokers.
loyalty country children
Why is it fair game to question conservatives' love or loyalty to children or to their fellow man, but beyond the pale to question liberals' love of country?
children thinking race
The suggestion that liberals aren't moralizers is so preposterous it makes it hard for me to take any of them seriously when they wax indignant about "moralizers." Almost every day, they tell us what is moral or immoral to think and to say about race, taxes, abortion - you name it. They explain it would be immoral for me to spend more of my own money on my own children when that money could be spent by government on other people's children. In short, they think moralizing is fine. They just want to have a monopoly on the franchise.
children islamic boys
On Tuesday, the so-called Islamic State released a slickly produced video showing a Jordanian pilot being burned alive in a steel cage. On Wednesday, the United Nations issued a report detailing various 'mass executions of boys, as well as reports of beheadings, crucifixions of children, and burying children alive' at the hands of the Islamic State.
christian loyalty children
Christian socialism”). This is a difficult concept for modern liberals to grasp because they are used to thinking of the progressives as the people who cleaned up the food supply, pushed through the eight hour workday, and ended child labor. But liberals often forget that the progressives were imperialists, at home and abroad. They were the authors of Prohibition, the Palmer Raids, eugenics, loyalty oaths, and, in its modern incarnation, what many call “state capitalism.
bush eager fences mend succeed
Most conservatives, I think, want Bush to succeed and would be eager to mend fences with a new nominee.
celebrity congress meryl represent saying sums
Meryl Streep once testified famously before Congress, saying that she was there to represent the uninformed. Now, that sums it up pretty well when it comes to these celebrity issues.
best country democrats followed great navy
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.
base criticism critics-and-criticism fox hear immunity news signed simply watching
Fox simply has an immunity to a lot of criticism, ... The base who's watching has already signed up; they're loyal. And the only place they're going to hear about criticism of Fox News is on Fox News.
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.
affront central decency disgusting human laugh left men
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.'
accountant accused argument good nobody open point rather settle society sort worse wrongly
You can make a very good argument that society would be much worse off if you let 10 rapists and murderers free rather than put one poor, wrongly accused accountant in prison. 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.
begin cliches dare mobs question settle tired wield
Everywhere, unthinking mobs of 'independent thinkers' wield tired cliches like cudgels, pummeling those who dare question 'enlightened' dogma. ... Cliches begin arguments, they don't settle them.
