The Jaffe Memo, Ginsburg, Harris v. McRae, and Population Control – PART 5
| December 24, 2011 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General |
In my first post, I showed how the beliefs of the Nazis and the eugenicists are disturbingly similar to viewpoints of some modern liberals. I gave three examples; I could have given three hundred. The Jaffe Memo shows that ‘population control’ is central to the the progressive outlook on the world. It is an aspect…
Proper Response to Genuine Social Injustice: Reflections on Obama’s Student Loan Proposals

Thomas Paine said: “is so exceedingly complex, that the nation may suffer for years together without being able to discover in which part the fault lies; some will say in one and some in another, and every political physician will advise a different medicine.”
Exactly. But it would appear that some modern ‘political physicians’ specifically wish to create systems that are ‘so exceedingly complex.’ Keep the patient sick seems to be the order of the day. Otherwise, he won’t need a doctor.
Reaction to Cain’s 9-9-9 and a Different Way Forward
| October 20, 2011 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General, Obama, politics |
Herman Cain is in the category belonging to “I can stomach voting for him” and the subset of that category, “I can even speak a kind word about him and am comfortable advocating for him- and will.”
His 9-9-9 proposal has a simple and important premise: the elimination of the Federal tax code and starting over. Amen, brother. Preach it.
However, the notion of a national sales tax is abhorrent to me. I do not feel reassured by assurances that the 9% tax will not in later years be increased. If we know anything about how the US governments work (and the plural is intentional; I am counting local and state governments as well), a tax will always go up. It never goes down and it never goes away. This is the real world, not fairytown. We know what is going to happen. We know it.
A Response to Herr Professor Regarding Evolution and Racism, and Watson
| October 20, 2007 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General |
Herr Professor, writing here, wants to take me to task for some of the things that I said in this post, here. I thank the gentleman for taking the time to read my entry though as I read his I did begin to doubt that he really did read mine. Besides the standard skeptical psychoanalysis…
Is religion dangerous? Continued thoughts…
| May 16, 2007 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, General |
This particular question has been coming up fairly often of late and has even been treated on my forum (www.sntjohnny.com/smf) and in an audio debate (hosted somewhere on this domain). When the question is carefully phrased we are helped greatly in answering it because there are some senses in which we could agree that yes,…
Response to Dawkins’s Preface
| December 12, 2006 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, book reviews, General |
The reason why I have decided to address this book beginning with the preface is because it is here that I think we can see at a glance just how far off Mr. Dawkins is from credibly speaking to God as a ‘delusion’ or even ‘religion’ in general. There are three minor points and one…
Book review: “Why Men Hate Going to Church”
| November 8, 2006 | Posted by Anthony under Blog, book reviews, General |
Well, not a full review. I just finished this book and thought it was spot on in a number of areas. For quite a long time I was a man more or less indifferent to ‘going to church.’ I didn’t have objections to it, but on the other hand I never detected many tangible benefits…
