A bad mood is like bad breath. Both are wrong to inflict onto others
Most activists on the Left believe that they, not only their values, are morally superior to their adversaries. Therefore, coercing people to adhere to 'progressive' values is morally acceptable, even demanded.
Those who do not confront evil resent those who do.
Without God and religion you don't have moral truth, you have moral opinion
If your religion doesn't teach you the difference between good and evil, your religion is worse than useless.
Secularism breeds narcissism. There is nothing higher to live for, so you live for you
Good and happy people who believe in God are the greatest living arguments for God's existence
I don't judge people by their theology, I judge them by their behavior
We conservatives fight evil; the Left fights carbon emissions
Lying to the Left is like water to fish
With the demise of the biblical religions that have provided the American people with their core values since their country's inception, we are reverting to the pagan worldview. Trees and animals are venerated, while man is simply one more animal in the ecosystem - and largely a hindrance, not an asset.
The more we complain, the more unhappy we get
Self-control is the only possible road to character development
The whole American experiment has been predicated on giving individuals as much control over their own lives as possible.
The feminist movement has far more anger for men than it has love for women.
There’s more time spent on teaching kids about recycling than on character development in the American schools.
Most American elementary schools and high schools, and nearly all colleges and universities, teach everything that is significant from a liberal/Left perspective.
The biggest obstacle to people becoming better is that you have to really want to be a good person in order to be a better person, and most people would rather be other things.
The problem for the Left, however, is that the moment it stops painting the Right as vile, it has to argue the issues.
Tell me of a right wing-induced hysteria of the last 50 years
What generations created, the Left destroys. There are few productive and noble institutions in America that the Left has not hurt or attempted to hurt. But while the Left destroys a great deal, it constructs almost nothing (outside of government agencies, laws, and lawsuits).
Happiness is not so much a feeling as it is an attitude
Of all the characteristics needed for both a happy and morally decent life, none surpasses gratitude. Grateful people are happier, and grateful people are more morally decent.
By definition, the moment one crosses from center to left, one accepts more government control of people's lives. Therefore, the further left society moves, the more there is government control over its citizens' lives. It is astonishing that this obvious fact is not universally acknowledged and that the Left has somehow successfully portrayed itself as preoccupied with personal liberty.
You will be a happier person if you don't do what you want to do, most of the time
