Will intellectualism ever intersect with wisdom?

Back to School Duncecap By Selwyn Duke

A number of definitions of insanity have been put forth over the years,
and a recent interview has inspired me to add the following: It is when
one is wrong over and over again but still expects himself to be right.

The interview was with a very worried man,
linguist-turned-social critic Noam Chomsky. His concerns? Among other
things, he said that he has “never seen anything like” what’s occurring
in today’s America and that we are now “very similar to late Weimar
Germany.” Yet the stuff of Chomsky’s nightmares is not ObamaCare and a
metastasizing federal government but something else entirely: Tea
Parties and middle-American angst.

    Great article Selwyn. For those who wish to learn more about the falsehood, that Hitler was a product of the right, read Sinisterism, by Bruce Walker. As to Noam Chomsky, Durante, Shaw and other fellow travelers, another great book that really gets inside their mind, and helps those with sanity understand how they could excuse the genocide of millions, read United in Hate by Jamie Glazov.

    I second Walt’s sentiment that this is a great article. Selwyn Duke’s recent writings are like a bulldozer on steroids. The bulwark of righteous indignation trampling the faux petunia garden of the sissies and homosexuals in the MSM who distort current issues and events to suit their facile agendas and proclivites even at their own grave peril.
    Noam Chomsky is a false idol of the criminally deluded. He is an ersatz “intellectual” and, worse yet, a phony freaking LIAR.
    Go to your pubic (error intended) library and see if they have the book “Do As I Say (Not as I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy” by Peter Schweitzer and read the chapter on Chomsky, who rails against the so-called “evils” of captilism while simultaneously engorging himself on the very “evils” that he decries. It is the eptiome of disgraceful hypocrisy and an example to those of his mindset and of his ilk that you are woefully deluded (and that he, among your master puppeteers, is in on the game of gaming you)!
    Hyprocrisy: thy name is modern liberalism. Wake up. Grow up. Your infantile, false and effeminate hegemony has run its course.

    Yes, you’re absolutely right here. Chomsky is an arrogant,hypocritical idiot who has consistently been a shill for brutally repressive communist regimes.
    But the fact remains that there are many right-wing
    “intellectuals” who are every bit as arrogant ,hypocritical and idiotic. And they are bit as much a threat to freedom in America as the extreme left. But they’re threats in different ways.
    Yes, socialism,Marxism and communism are terrible things. But total laissez-faire capitalism in which there is no safety net for the poor and those out of work,business is unregulated to the point where it can exploit and harm the pubkic and despoil the environemnt with impunity and the rich get richer while the poor get poorer,and those of the middle class are constantly in danger of sinking into poverty is no better.
    And right-wing governments also give too much power to religion and greatly increase the risk of theocracy.
    I’m equally opposed to tyranny of the left-wing and right-wing kind. WE must have something which is a happy medium between the two.

    Robert,
    Point taken. I think all of us here would not support a theocracy or extreme right wing dictatorship. You should also understand that a true market system is free of force and fraud(to the best of our abilities). In a completely libertarian world an unregulated market would amount to a survival of the fittest which is no where near what we are today.
    Philip,

    Robert,
    The middle ground between dictatorial communism and laizze faire capitalism/economic and social freedom, is chaos; both economically and socially. The middle ground requires humans to dictate whose liberty needs to be infringed upon in order to give an unearned advantage to another. This safety net you speak of must not be administered by the government, but rather by the people directly; locally. The government merely enables failure, sloth and hopelessness by doling out OPM. For the past 60 years we have been living this middle ground and look where it has gotten us. We are a broke nation with entire generations of people groups dependent upon the labor of others. Your paradise would be wonderful if you could only get people to behave a certain way. You can do that by force or through conditioning, neither of which is compatible with freedom. Communism or even the lite beer version that we have been living with are incompatible with the human spirit.

    I reply: The error in your assessment is that, by your rebuttals, you seem to take sides based on labels (i.e. left-wing/right-wing). In doing so, your mental assessments are vulnerable to every wind of change in the public sphere and that which the unreliable mainstream media permits you to know. This is instead of knowing Truth and measuring information to eternal verities. This requires work. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God; a workman who needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” ~ II Timothy 3:15. Your thoughts are temporal, rather than eternal. Your sources of information from which you form your opinions are untrustworthy. Thank goodness, that you come here to Selwynduke.com but you never seem to accept his wisdom, his scholarship and his unparalleled ability to articulate his observations vis á
    vis truth.
    You have some learning to do, my friend. You repeatedly spout suggestions as to “what should be” as though you are the final authority while seldom, if ever, cite any evidence of from whence your opinions derive and from which authority your thoughts are beholden to. You know the saying of opinions: They are like a certain body part that we all have in common. Your commentary continually and consistently demonstrates that you arrive at conclusions without any verifiable and factual basis. This is most tiresome and worse, it contributes to the manifold evils that are perpetrated against innocent human beings (as well as animals and the environment).
    Please permit me to (over) simplify: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. (Hosea 4:6). The “knowledge” that is referred to by the Prophet is not knowledge of mathematics, engineering, evolution, medicine, etc. It is a lack of knowledge of God. That is the simple solution to all of the manifold problems of humanity. Nothing more; nothing less.
    You had better hit the (good) Book.

    Prof. Chomsky is intellectually dishonest: it is well documented that Weimar Germany was totally occupied and corrupted by Zionists. There was no freedom of speech, no freedom of art. There was no need to “create” an enemy, it was present and robust. And today in equally occupied and corrupted America, Zionists, as they always do, put one group of people against another. They seduce Blacks with the promise of the “ultimate revenge” for the slavery, and they need illigals as another disruptive element in society. The planet would have been enjoying peace now, if not for Zionists, who apparently have no desires or volitions of second order (philosophers call such individuals Wantons). Prof. Chomsky, as a philosopher, among other things, knows this very well.

    Phil France, don’t patronize me. I know exactly what I’m talking about. The fact remains that right-wing politicians in America allied with the religious right are an infinitely greater threat to freedom and prosperity in America than Obama and his administration,
    as imperfect as they are.
    The right-wing in America has been spreading all manner of lies,half-truths and distortions about Obama ever since he came to prominence,ridiculously labeling him as some kind of evi Marxist and communist demagogue who is out to turn America into another brutally repressive communist dictatorship and out to take all our social and economio freedom away.
    As well as a Muslim,a”baby-killer” and all that nonsense.
    He’s none of these things. He isn’t really a doctrinaire left-winger at all,and real ledt-wingers such as Chomsky and the late Howard Zinn and their ilk don’t even consider him one of their own or think much of him.
    But I’m extremely worried than in 2112,in the wake of the massive backlash against Obama and the paranoid fears of conservatives in America,a REAL evil demamgogue will emerge in America,a right-wing extremist and a religious fanatic who will seduce gullible conservatives with seductive rhetoric about “taking America back”(to what,the middle ages?),
    making us a “Christian” nation again, standing up to the “gay agenda”,”protecting the unborn”(until they’re born that is), reducing taxes,”protecting” religion,
    restoring “decency” to films and television,getting rid of welfare etc,
    getting rid of illegal aliens, restoring prayer to our schools,and all that.
    But the problem will be that this individual could actually turn this country into a right-wing theocratic dictatorship.
    We must not allow something like this to happen. Be warned. Mark my words. If you think Obama is bad….

    Robert Berger said: “Phil France, don’t patronize me.”
    I say: OK, I wont. Instead I am declaring you to be a lunatic. I assess you as mentally insane. Your opinions and observations are the complete inverse of reality. To the extent that you have any influence on society at large, you are danger to it. I do not intend for these statements to be hostile. Rather, it is my honest assessment of you and your thinking.
    Robert Berger said: “The fact remains that right-wing politicians in America allied with the religious right are an infinitely greater threat to freedom and prosperity in America than Obama and his administration,”
    I say, what fact? Name one. And how does any such “fact” pose an “infinitely greater threat to freedom and prosperity in America”. Please give us just one example, but do not bother unless you can support it with factual evidence. Your opinions are tiresome and infantile.
    Robert Berger said: “The right-wing in America has been spreading all manner of lies,half-truths and distortions about Obama ever since he came to prominence,ridiculously labeling him as some kind of evi Marxist and communist demagogue”
    I say: FACT: Obama’s mother was a Communist. We know this from her High School teachers at Mercer Island, Washington. FACT: Obama’s father was a Marxist who worked to overturn Kenya’s Christian Democracy. Thankfully, he was a hopeless drunk who died in a car crash. FACT: The “Frank” that Obama’s own memoirs cite as his teenage mentor is card-carrying Communist Frank Marshall Davis. FACT: Obama is more than just casually acquainted with radical Marxists and Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. He launched his political career in their living room! Ayers has asserted that he was the ghost-writer of Obama’s first memoir, “Dreams from my Father”. FACT: Obama freely admits of attending the Church of radical Marxist/Black Liberation “Theologian” Rev. Jeremiah Wright (“no-no-no, not got bless America, God-DAMN America”; “the U.S. of KKK-A”). FACT: As a United States Senator, Obama campaigned for the Marxist Raila Odinga as President of Kenya. After Odinga lost his bid for election, Obama was influential in having Odinga appointed as Kenya’s Prime Minister. FACT: Obama selected card-carrying and avowed Communist Van Jones as his “Green Jobs Czar” (does not the term “Czar” disturb you in the least?). FACT: Obama’s White House Spokeswoman Anita Dunn cited Communist dictator and murderer of more than 60 million of his own countrymen, Mao Tse Tung as a source of her “inspiration. FACT: Obama assigned Ron Bloom as his “Car Czar”. Bloom has publicly supported Maoist tactics and strategies. How can anyone that is rational and sane not connect these dots?
    Robert Berger said: “ridiculously labeling him as some kind of evi Marxist and communist demagogue who is out to turn America into another brutally repressive communist dictatorship and out to take all our social and economio freedom away.”
    I say: “Ridiculous(ly)? Oh really. Was it not Campaigner Obama, on the eve of his questionable election, who declared: “We are about to fundamentally TRANSFORM America. A dope like you never stopped to ask, “Transform? From what to what else?”. America is a Constitutional Republic (whether you like it or not – if you do not, please leave it). If he promised to “fundamentally transform America” (with “fundamentally being a key and operative word) what on earth do you think that he would “fundamentally” attempt to change it into?
    Robert Berger said: “As well as a Muslim”.
    I say: Obama’s own memoirs confess to his being adopted by his Indonesian stepfather. It is established and verifiable FACT that he attended a Muslim Madrassa in Indonesia. His adoption by his stepfather made him both a Muslim and an Indonesian citizen (legally). There is no evidence extant that he has changed either of these documented facts. Perhaps, and even if it is likely that he has changed his citizenship status and religious affiliation, there is no documented proof that he has. None. So, if you are to base your opinion on pure and KNOWN FACTS, it is logical to conclude that Obama is really and legally Barry Sotoero and that he is both a citizen of Indonesia and a Muslim. Furthermore, if Barack Obama is the Christian that he claims he is, that would make him a Muslim apostate. According to the Koran, he would then be a candidate for execution under Sharia. Type this into your favorite search engine: Why Michelle Obama did not accompany her husband to visits to Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt? Laura Bush did.
    Robert Berger said: “a”baby-killer” and all that nonsense.”
    I say: Nonsense? First of all, I know of no one who has directed this term against him. If you can cite just ONE source, I will swiftly apologize. However, I do know this FACT: As State Senator of Illinois he voted TWICE to oppose a Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. Such a law would protect innocent babies who survived an abortion attempt. The most innocent and harmless of all life. Now you could argue that Obama did not actually do the “baby-killing” but how is assent thereof any less murderous? Such a charge is anything but “nonsense”.
    Robert Berger said: “He isn’t really a doctrinaire left-winger at all,and real ledt-wingers as Chomsky and the late Howard Zinn and their ilk don’t even consider him one of their own or think much of him.”
    I say: How do you know this? What articles might you cite that prove your point? Did it occur to you that, were this true, that their disassociation from him might be because he is even more radical and more “doctrinaire” than they are?
    Robert Berger said: “a REAL evil demamgogue will emerge in America,a right-wing extremist and a religious fanatic who will seduce gullible conservatives with seductive rhetoric about “taking America back”(to what,the middle ages?),”
    I say: These are the words of, and book title of WND founder Joseph Farah.. I have read this book. Have you? Joseph Farah is a good and decent man. He is of Arab descent. Are you a racist bigot who hates Arabs? No, you are a racist bigot who hates Arab-Americans who happen to love America and write a book about returning to the Constitutional Liberties that our Founders proscribed for us.
    Robert Berger said: “making us a “Christian” nation again”
    I say: What do you mean, “again”? You truly ARE a lunatic. Worse yet, you are evil. The United States Constitution is based on the Christian Magna Carta, which is based on the 10 Commandments from The Bible. It is our Rule of Law and it is the very essence of our civil liberties (at least those that “President” Obama has yet to take a bulldozer to). If you do not like this fact, then leave. Go to Zimbabwe, where the effects of your opinions hold full sway. Go to North Korea or Saudi Arabia where Christianity is illegal. See how you do there, you MORON! Do us all a favor: Read “The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States by Benjamin F. Morris before you spew your filthy and demented bile at this site again.
    Robert Berger said: “standing up to the “gay agenda”,”
    I say: You obviously have not read “After the Ball” by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen, nor have you read “The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today”. Does the word “freedom” bother you? Apparently so. If you have not read either of these two works, you are woefully unprepared to remark on opposition to this vile and perverse “agenda”.
    Robert Berger said: “”,”protecting the unborn”(until they’re born that is),”
    I say: You must not have children of your own. You must have never seen a sonogram of a fetus in the 1st Trimester. If you have, woe unto you and you are worse than I have thought. Furthermore, you have ignored my previous postings whereby I have I have identified the “pro-infanticide” movement as clearly NOT one of so-called “reproductive rights” but that of the sinister concept of eugenics. Silly Robert. If these evil demagogues had their way, it is likely that that the pregnancy that resulted in you would have been terminated (especially if you are black). While this would have spared all of us of your specious and idiotic tantrums, I would still find the practice appalling.
    Robert Berger said: “”,”reducing taxes”
    I say: If you are so fond of taxes and find them so necessary, why don’t you pay mine? For the record, I pay an annual Federal and State Income Tax bill or roughly $8,500 per year. I could use your check straightaway. This does not include the nearly 9% of sales tax on nearly everything I purchase for myself and for my family. It does not include the “excise” taxes in my phone bill, my utility bill, my cellular phone bill, property taxes, garbage taxes, ad nauseum. You are obviously too stupid and too dense to realize that each of these taxes represents a commensurate LOSS of yours and my liberties! Are you beginning to see what a hopeless moron you are?
    Robert Berger said: “,”protecting” religion”
    I say: Please enlighten us as to how “protecting religion” is harmful to society? In doing so, please explain how devout Christians such as Nicholas Copernicus, Sir Isaac Newton, Johannes Keppler, Galileo Galileii, Leonardo DaVinci, Francis Bacon, Robert Boyle, Michael Faraday, Jedidiah Morse, Samuel Miller, Peter Mark Roget, Samuel F.B. Morse, Louis Pasteur, Sir Henry Rawlinson, Sir Joseph Henry Gilbert, William Michael Ramasy, George Washington Carver, Wernher Von Braun and Sir Cecil P.G. Wakely have brought harm, rather than comfort and abundance to you. Please also explain how it was that these great men took us from a knowledge base of nearly ZERO to the abundance of technology and disease remediation that we now enjoy.
    Robert Berger said: “restoring “decency” to films and television”
    I say: Pray tell us, O Robert, the Sage, how pornography and the denigration of the white, Anglo-Saxon, heterosexual Christian male who have built the very advanced and culturally superior Western Civilization benefits ANYONE other than your proclivities for masturbation?
    Robert Berger said: “getting rid of welfare etc”
    I say: You have never looked at the empirical statistics. Since LBJ’s so-called “war on poverty” (which was really, and in fact, how we will buy Democrat votes) been eradicated and how have minorities faired? Was poverty reduced or has it exacerbated? I know the answers. You THINK that you do, but you are clearly wrong or you would not cite this as a problem.
    Robert Berger said: “getting rid of illegal aliens,”
    I say: How many rooms are there in your house? Let’s send them all there. What is it about the word “illegal” that you do not understand? How about this: Since you, Robert Berger, are so supportive of illegal immigrants let’s invite them all to your home and property. Let them litter your living room, your halls and your bedroom. Let them trash your patio. Let them drive drunk into your foyer and into your swimming pool. Let them rape your wife and your daughter. They came here only to work, right? You son-of-a-bitch. An illegal immigrant drunk driver who jumped a curb and ran over my cousin and into her 14-year old autistic son while they were riding bicycles in a park killed my first cousin, Catherine Rose Busse. How are you going to repay me for sympathizing with the importation of a corrupt culture into our society? How much do you have that you are willing to recompense me for the loss of my blood and my treasure? Will you pay for Ben’s well-being? His secondary education? If you can and will do so, then I will recant my accusation that you are a lunatic. If not, the charge stands.
    A nation is defined by its borders, its language and its culture. If you cannot accept this simplistic concept, then you are a sociopath.
    Robert Berger said: “restoring prayer to our schools,and all that.”
    I say: Conduct a web search of test scores comparing the times when prayer was a vital component of early education to what is now. You will never do it because you are afraid of what you would find and, subsequently, find out what a moron you really are.
    Robert Berger said: “Mark my words.”.

    Phil, you’ve set up so many strawmen in your reply to me it’s created a fire hazard! Call the fire department right away,please.
    Let me rebut all the nonsense you have spewed here.
    To begin,there are many right-wing extremist politicians in Washington who if they got power WOULD turn America into a rifgt-wing theocratic tyranny little better than Iran or Saudi Arabia. Maybe not as violent,but still awful. Among them are such odious people as Michelle Bachmann and Jim DeMint,to name only two.They are narrow-minded,intolerant and self-righteous people and they are a menace to this country.
    They are wolves in sheep’s clothing.
    There is actually no evidence that Obama’s mother was a communist,and whatever his father was or wasn’t is absolutely irrelelvant.
    His association with Ayers and Dohrn was limited to sometimes meeting them at university board meetings. The stories about him being a close follower have been shown to be total fabrications, as well as all the other communists etc.
    What Anita Dunn may or may not have said about Mao is also completely irrelevant and proves absolutely nothing negative about Obama.
    Obama attended a regular school in Indonesia,NOT a Madrassah as falsely reported.
    He HAS been called a “baby-killer”, which is nothing but a hysterically emotion-laden term which anti-choicers use to smear pro-choicers in general,and he did not vote to allow infants who survive abortions to be abandoned to die.This is a blatant lie.
    But occurrances like this are extremely rare anyway,and the vast majority of abortions are in the first trimester,before a fetus can even feel pain.
    And in late term abortions,doctors use anesthetics to prevent pian.
    I don’t hate Joseph Farah, and I am in no way bigoted against Arabs or Muslims in general or Arab Christians,American or not. But I do have an extremely low opinion of him,not because he’s an Arab American, but because he’s horse’s ass, a liar, a phony and hypocrite who fabricated the whole idiotic birther farce. As well as a crybaby and sore loser who can’t accept the fact that Obama is our fairly and legitimately elected President,like him or not.
    Religion does not need to be protected in America. No one,m but no one in this country is being persecuted merely for being a Christian.All the stoires about them being persecuted are a crock.
    And the only gay “agenda” in America is for equal rights, and to fight the rampant homophobia which DOES exist in America. And don’t accuse me of being gay for saying this.I’m heterosexual. I just don’t like intolerance against gays,or against any one,even people like you.
    Making pornography illegal in America will not improve virtue here because censorship doesn’t do this.It never has and never will.
    Nor will lowering taxes a great deal increase general prosperity, and vigilante justice against aliens is not the solution to this problem.
    America is a nation in which the majority just happens to be Christian, which is not something I have a problem with.But there are also millions of Jews,Muslims,Hindus,Buddhists,and followers of many other faiths,as well as atheists and agnostics.
    What about THEIR rights? Prayer in school? Whose prayer?Christian,Jewish,Muslim,Hindu,Buddhist or what?

    PPhil, I don’t know whether to be appalled or to die laughing at your ludicrous rant. You’ve set up so many strawmen here it’s created a fire hazard!
    First of all,there are many right-wing extremist politicians in Washington who,if they ever got their way,would set up a right-wing totalitarian theocratic government in America and turn it into a country little better than Iran or Saudi Arabia, such as the odious Michelle Bachmann or Jim De Mint,or Chuck Baldwin of the Constipation party(my spelling).
    And there’s no actual evidence that Obama’s mother was a communist,and who cares what his father was? These things prove absolutely nothing negative about him.
    In addition, the story about Obama attending a Madrassa
    in Indonesia are false.He attended a regular school.
    As to Obama’s alleged association with those over-the-hill 60s radical terrorists Ayers and Dohrn,it turns out that Obama and Ayers do not even know each other very well and have sat on the same university committee for some time and have met each other only on occaision. Nothing but rumor and innuendo without a shred of proof of anything sinister.
    Yes,many antiabortion fanatics have labeled Obama as a “baby-killer”,which is just a hysterically emotion-laden label they attach to any one who is pro-choice.
    And the rumor that Obama voted to allow infants born live of failed abortions to be left to die is a blatant lie. He never did any such thing, and such occurrances are extremely rare,anyway.
    And yes, if you read the blogs of REAL left-wingers in America you will find that they ironically think that Obama is too conservative.
    There’s no sinister “gay agenda”. All gay people want is to be free from discrimination,violence and maltreatment. Bigoted conservatives have been demonizing homosexuals for years. America doesn’t need to be protected from gay people;they need to be protected from bigotry,which still exuists in America against them despite the gains they have made in being tolerated.
    The vast majority of illegal aliens are not dangerous
    criminals. But if America is not careful, bigots could engage in mass vigilante violence against innocent people.
    I haven’t read Joseph Farah’s book, but I read him every day at World Nut Daily(my spelling).
    No,I’m in no way bigoted against Arabs,whether Muslim,Christian,American or whatever. If I have an extremely low opinion of Farah it’s because he’s a horse’s ass. A self-righteous,hypocritical jerk who is a perfect example of what Samuel Johnson described as patriotism being the last refuge of a scoundrel.
    This idiot founded the whole asinine birther farce,and it’s appalling that any one still takes this clown seriously. He’s a total phony and a cry baby and sore loser who can’t except the fact that Obama is President,despite the fact that he’s the legitimately elected leader of America.
    Decency? Who is to say what’s decent or not? Not every one agrees. When conservatives talk about “restoring decency” to television and films in America,it’s nothing but a code word for censorship.
    But censorship does not make people more virtuous.It never has and never will.
    Whatever his undeniable faults,Obama is still infinitely prefereable to conservative polticians.

    You’ve set up so many straw men in your rant against me
    to create a fire hazard. Very amusing.

    Robert,
    It speaks volumes that you did not respond to ANY of my charges. No surprise, because you CANNOT. I wear your charge of “poppycock” as a badge of honor.
    Read this article and see what a stooge you are to an wicked and evil agenda:

    You fell for this strategy hook-line-and-sinker. You are a human being with a brain, not a trout that presumes that any look-alike suffices for food. Wake up!

    Phil, the reason I didn’t respond to your post to rebut you was that my posts just weren’t going through for some reason.
    First of all, there ARE quite of few right-wing extremist politicians and others who would definitely be a threat to America if they were elected President or to the cabinet etc. For example, the awful Michelle Bachmann, a vile homophobic bigot and right-wing zealot who would make Nancy Pelosi look like Mary Poppins if she got power.
    Or the equaly odious and bigoted Jim De Mint. These are only two.
    And how can you be so blind to the countless smears that have been made at Obama?
    There’s no evidence that his mother was a communist,and even if she was,who cares? And who cares what his father was.All this is absolutely irrelelvant.
    All the stories about Obama’s supposedly sinister connections with communists etc are a complete and utter fabrication.
    And just read what people like Noam Chomsky and other left-wing extremists have said about Obama.This proves they don’t even consider him one of their own in any way.
    Obama’s goal of transforming America is not to transform it into some communist dictatrship but into a
    more fair,just, equitable and prosperous nation.That’s all. Whether he will succeed and the degree his goals will succeed remain to be seen. But his goal is in no way sinister.
    And yes, certain anti-abortion extremists have labeled him a “Baby-killer”, but that’s just an emotion-laden term they apply to any one who has the guts to be pro-choice and stand up for a woman’s right to control her own body. He has no power to either stop or increase abortion as an individual person.
    And furthermore,the rumor that Obama voted to allow infants who survive late-term abortions to be abandoned to die is a blatant lie.He never did any such thing,and does not advocate this.Such occurrances are extremely rare anyway.
    The only gay agenda is to be free of discrimination,harassment and violence. That’s all. Gay people are not a threat to America in any way.
    Bigoted Americans are an infinitely greater threat to gay people than they are to America.
    And homosexuals do NOT have complete freedom yet in America,although considerable progress has been made in this area. There are a few bad eggs among them, but the vast majority of gay people are not a threat to any one.
    Religion does not need to be protected in America,and certainly not Christians or Christianity. No one here is being persecuted merely for being a Christian.
    They are absolutely free to worship as they choose.
    The problem is not Christianity per se, but certain narrow-minded,intoleant and self-righteous ones who want to impose their religious views and social agenda on this country, which is now highly diverse religiously.
    America is a “Christian” nation only in the sense that the majority of Americans happen to be Christian.
    Restore “decency” to films and television in America? This is just a oode workd fro censorship. Not every one agrees on what is decent or not. WE can’t allow certain self-righteous individuals to tell us what we may view or read in private or in public. And censorship does not make people more virtuous.It never has and never will.
    The problem of illegal aliens is a very complex one.
    There are no easy answers.It’s not only wrong but impossible to get rid of all of them. We cannot allow vigilante violence against innocent people who happen to be Hispanics, and the vast majority of the illegal aliens are NOT violent criminals.
    They are just terribly unfortunate poor people desperate for a better life.
    And we can’t improve the economy and increase general prosperity by just ending welfare suddenly and all or most government programs to help those in need.
    To do this would be absolutely catastrophic for America. The Obama administration’s social and economic policies are hardly perfect, but they are vastly preferable to what right-wing politicians would do if they got the power.

    Dear Robert Berger,
    You are a sick and deluded man. You need help. You sully these blogstreams with your inanity and your insanity. From whence do your opinions derive? Chris Matthews? Rachel Maddow? Keith Olbermadmann? I believe that I know what your problem REALLY is: You are a Christophobe. You are afraid of what the results of a knowledge of Christ our Lord would have on the behaviors that you take pleasure in. Perhaps you should be afraid. Allow me to further deconstruct your utter lunacy:
    Robert Berger said: “the awful Michelle Bachmann, a vile homophobic bigot and right-wing zealot who would make Nancy Pelosi look like Mary Poppins if she got power.”
    I say: To educated and informed Americans, Michele Bachmann is a heroine (the feminine gender of “hero” and not the drug (possibly) of your choice). I am certain that you are unaware that her background is that of a tax attorney. Who better than this understands the onerous burdens on our precious liberties than one familiar with our diabolical tax codes? Furthermore, you acknowledge, and at least perceive the wickedness of House Shrieker Nazi Lugosi by stating: “who would make Nancy Pelosi look like Mary Poppins”. Rep. Bachmann is Lugosi’s Public Enemy #1. Rep. Bachmann is the target of Lugosi’s most powerful and concentrated efforts to unseat in the November elections. It follows logically that these women are polar opposites of one another. One of these women is right and righteous. One of them is wrong and evil. What is your choice?
    Robert Berger said: “Or the equaly odious and bigoted Jim De Mint.”
    I say: Jim DeMint is one of the most Constitutionally-informed members of our Congress. He is one of perhaps six U.S. Senators that understands and upholds our Constitution. It follows logically that you do not consider Senator DeMint to be “odious” but that you consider our Constitution to be “odious”. In that case, you should leave this Constitutional Republic. Ah, but where to go? Venezuela? Chile? Greece? Italy? How about Saudi Arabia? You fail to see that a Constitutional Republic such as the United States of America relies upon its Constitution as its rule of law, rather than the rule of men, or an oppressive Theocracy. Proponents of such a Constitution should be lauded as heroes, EVEN IF we disagree with what that rule of law states. This is where you fall out of the boat.
    Robert Berger said: “And how can you be so blind to the countless smears that have been made at Obama?
    I say: You idiot. I am NOT blind to the smears, In fact, I am among the chorus of smearers and rightly so. This man deserves to be smeared for he is evil. I just purchased the book: “The Manchurian President: Barack Obama’s Ties to Communists, Socialists and other Anti-American Extremists” by Aaron Klein (with Brenda J. Elliott). I just received it yesterday. Aaron Klein is an ace reporter with an impeccable record. Ms. Elliott is a bulldog historian and researcher and I am eager for the opportunity to further reinforce what I already know with further facts and documentary evidence. Are you so diligent to research and document your beliefs with documented facts? HELL NO. You are, therefore, a hopeless moron and blight on the otherwise intellectually honest individuals who post at this site.
    Robert Berger said: “There’s no evidence that his mother was a communist,and even if she was,who cares?
    I say: (In my best Rep. Joe Wilson impersonation) “You LIE!”. Stanley Anne Dunham’s High Scholl principle and Guidance Counselor from her Mercer Island High School gleefully boast of her Marxism. Their remarks are documented in “The ObamaNation” by Jerome R. Corsi, PhD. You would not know this because you do not read. You merely draw a facile conclusion of your worldview and then suck the toes of those that tell you what you want to believe. You then have the temerity to ask, “who cares?”. You effing A-HOLE!!!!! We should ALL care if our elected leader was nurtured by a Marxist radical! You spineless TWIT! You are being engulfed by a boa constrictor and you are saying, “you really shouldn’t live on a diet of rodents; take me instead.”.
    Robert Berger said: “And who cares what his father was.All this is absolutely irrelelvant.”
    I say: MILLIONS of Americans care. But not you, no. You find it “irrelevant” that the father of the POTUS was a Marxist who dedicated his life to turning the Christian Democracy of Kenya into a Communist dictatorship and that it was no big deal that the father of the leader of the free world abandoned his son while he was yet an infant and then died as a hopeless drunk. I have to ask again, what drugs are you on? Lexapro? Lithium? Or worse?
    Robert Berger said: “All the stories about Obama’s supposedly sinister connections with communists etc are a complete and utter fabrication.”
    I say: I just hit you upside the head with just SOME of these “connections”. You cannot accept facts that contradict your forgone conclusions. This is the epitome of self-delusion and shameful intellectual dishonesty and YOU are Exhibit “A”.
    Robert Berger said: “And just read what people like Noam Chomsky and other left-wing extremists have said about Obama.This proves they don’t even consider him one of their own in any way.”
    I say: What are they saying? Why do you not quote them? Are you too confused by the narrative or is that your precious Obama is even MORE radical and, hence, the disconnect from already-established hypocrites and lunatics such as Chomsky.
    Robert Berger said: “Obama’s goal of transforming America is not to transform it into some communist dictatrship but into a
    more fair,just, equitable and prosperous nation.That’s all.”
    I say: Oh, I get it now. Flowers in our hair. Flowers everywhere. You IDIOT!
    What Obama has done in just over his first year in charge is the stated envy of both Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, Read that again you A-HOLE!!!!! Now read it AGAIN. This no demonization. It is actual fact. Both murderous dictators have publicly expressed envy at how swiftly Obama has brought about this goal. Since you are so dense and so obtuse, let me remind you of the following:
    · The Marxist Nationalization of US Banks.
    · The Marxist Nationalization of GM and Chrysler.
    · The Marxist takeover of the heath care/health insurance industry (does it not bother you in the LEAST that this was the ONLY Bill in US History that was decided ENTIRELY on party lines? Does it not give you pause that not ONE “moderate” or “liberal” Republican such as Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins or John McCain would vote for it?).
    · The agreement to reduce our nuclear arms to that of our enemy.
    · The revelation to our enemies of our nuclear warhead capacity.
    And you – you hopeless and vapid DICK – you still do not ask yourself which side he is on. Your thought processes are not even worthy of being described as childish. You are LESS than a child, intellectually.
    Robert Berger said: “his goal is in no way sinister.”
    I say: How the HELL would YOU know? The educational acumen that you demonstrate in your responses here show that you have not read ANYTHING serious since “Snow White & the Seven Dwarves”.
    Robert Berger said: “And yes, certain anti-abortion extremists have labeled him a “Baby-killer”,”
    I say: I asked you to name ONE. You lose.
    Robert Berger said: “any one who has the guts to be pro-choice and stand up for a woman’s right to control her own body.”
    I say: You continue to dodge the truth of which I have already and repeatedly informed you. Support for abortion is not “pro-choice:. It is anti-choice. It is NOT about “reproductive freedom” but about eugenics. Are you too stupid to realize this concept? This issue is propounded by white elite self-loathing and so-called “liberals” who think it is a grand idea to “weed out” what they determine to be “defectives”. This includes the mentally retarded (which would implicate YOU for elimination), the physically handicapped but especially was designed to eliminate the Negro race. HUH! ARREST HIM!!! He said the (anthropologically-correct “N-Word)! You truly are a mental midget and you continually prove this by way of your postings.
    Robert Berger said: “And furthermore,the rumor that Obama voted to allow infants who survive late-term abortions to be abandoned to die is a blatant lie.”
    I say: Read it and apologize for your vacuum: http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2008/01/top-10-reasons.html
    You have just been proven empirically and evidentially incorrect. You owe an apology to all of the readers at Selwynduke.com. Are you man enough to do so?I didn’t think so.
    Robert Berger said: “The only gay agenda is to be free of discrimination,harassment and violence.”
    I say: This is an outright and egregious lie. Homosexual Americans have the same Constitutional protections as heterosexual Americans. They have equal protection under the law, as proscribed by the 14th Amendment of our Constitution which you obviously have not read or you would not be nearly as stupid as you demonstrate yourself to be. In my last bashing of your idiotic response I asserted that you did not read “After the Ball” by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen. This is the manifesto of the homosexual agenda and it is not pretty. I think that even an egg-head like you would be frightened by the fact that they do NOT seek “equal” rights. No, sir. They seek to be a privileged and untouchable societal subset that has unique “rights” superceding those of heterosexuals while also having power to marginalize and penalize anyone who stands in the way of their bulldozer. This is Tiananmen Square with a pink tank.
    You also have not read The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Liberty Today” by Alan Sears & Craig Osten of the Alliance Defense Fund to see how this radical, perverse and evil agenda will subvert the liberties of ALL Americans and leave us vulnerable to the threat of a Theocracy that you fearfully abhor. This theocracy, Mr. Berger, will NEVER be a Christian or Jewish one. However, it is more likely that it will be an Islamic one. My bet is that, if the Islamists take over, it is morons like you who will be the first to be beheaded. I am not a betting man, but I would lay even money on that last statement.
    A further point begs the question. Since you do not read the most poignant works on any given subject, and neither in support of nor opposition to your presupposed opinions? How would you ever truly know if you are right or you are wrong? Answer: You cannot. This mindset and worldview can be forgiven of a child who has been misled or mis-taught. You have no excuse. You have the intellectual acumen of a turnip. In fact, you are even a disgrace to turnips. They, at least, have the excuse that they cannot read!
    Robert Berger said: “Bigoted Americans are an infinitely greater threat to gay people than they are to America.”
    I say: When was the last time that you heard of a “bigoted American” interrupting a homosexual orgy or bath-house orgy? Surely you are knowledgeable of how homosexual radicals have interrupted church services and desecrated the Catholic Eucharist ceremony by tossing condoms and stomping on the Eucharistic wafers that the Catholics deem sacred. Is this your idea of “tolerance”? Ask yourself honestly, who are the REAL “bigots”? You are a demented man.
    Robert Berger said: “And homosexuals do NOT have complete freedom yet in America,”
    I say: It is painfully obvious that you have NEVER read the first 14 amendments of our Constitution. You really should be deported to a country that knows them all to well. How about Zimbabwe?
    Robert Berger said: “Religion does not need to be protected in America,and certainly not Christians or Christianity”.
    I say: How did the FISRT (read that again – FIRST) Amendment get past you? Look here: “Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the FREE exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
    So, please tell us Mr. Berger, what qualifications you possess and what bona fides you have accomplished that your wit and wisdom exceeds those of Thomas Jeffesron and James Madison? What of this plain and simple statement that you do not understand that you would be so audacious as to deingrate it? You pitiful fool.
    Robert Berger said: “The problem is not Christianity per se, but certain narrow-minded,intoleant and self-righteous ones who want to impose their religious views and social agenda on this country”
    Are you referring to and insulting me? Selwyn Duke? All of “Christianity”? Please explain how devotion to Christ is “single-minded” and “intoleant . If you knew the slightest bit about Christianity, you would know that its very premise is not “self-righteous” in the least. In fact, Christians understand that whatever righteousness that they are worthy of is by the grace of God and “not of works, lest any man should boast”. You really need to crawl back under the rock that you emerged from. That is, unless you take me up on my offer to provide your badly-needed help.
    Robert Berger said: “America is a “Christian” nation only in the sense that the majority of Americans happen to be Christian.”
    I say: “Happen: to be”? Do you suggest that this was some sort of accident? You are truly an asshole. I hesitate to use such strong and salty language but there are so little other adjectives with which to accurately describe you and your sick worldview. Robert, you are living proof that there are more horse’s asses in the world than there are horses. In my last excoriation of your previously posted demented opinions I asked that you not respond until you have read “The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States” by Benjamin F. Morris. You REALLY need to read this work for you do not understand the very foundation that permits you to spew such filth, such bile, such outright lies, disinformation and delusion that your views represent without severe consequence.
    The United States of America has become the world’s greatest power, economically and militarily PRECISELY because we are a Christian nation. There is no other explanation except for one that you might provide us… how about it? I surmise that you NOTHING about God and/or of His Christ. This would explain how cavalierly you dismiss eternal wisdom. Do you do this without ever considering that you might be wrong, when, in fact you REALLY are? I didn’t think so.
    Robert Berger said: “Restore “decency” to films and television in America? This is just a oode workd fro censorship.”
    I say: Try shouting “FIRE” in a crowded theater. How about “HI-JACK” on board an airplane. While I like to think of myself as a champion of free speech and free expression (and as a devout listener of Dr. Michael Savage, Phd. am painfully aware of the abuse of his freedoms as demonstrated by his ban from Great Britain by the infantile British Home Office), I realize that there are limits to “absolute freedom”. Those of us that are not under the influence of psychotropic medication understand that absence of law is anarchy. What Mr. Berger appears to demonstrate is that the programs that he wishes to watch in order to arouse him sufficiently for his satisfactory masturbation experience should not be restricted by concerned parents that are mindful that smut might too easily fall before the face of beautiful and innocent children whose minds, without proper (and Christian) guidance might be harmed by such images.
    Robert Berger said: “The problem of illegal aliens is a very complex one.”
    I say: No. It is not. Again I ask, What part of “illegal” do you not understand? EVERY “illegal;” immigrant is a CRIMIAL INVADER. Do you REALLY want your country to be invaded by criminals? Okay, what problem do you then have with criminals from the Italian “La Cosa Nostra”? How is the South American invasion any different? Ohhhhh… I get it: their skin is brown. Silly me. I forgot to factor in that if one’s skin color is other than white/Caucasian that I must compartmentalize these good people as (drum roll, please… start the orchestra) VICTIMS! Ta-da!
    Viddie this, you miserable sh*t-head:
    http://doctorbulldog.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/layup1.jpg
    Oh, I beg your pardon. I assumed that they are only here to work. You freaking IDIOT!
    Robert Berger said: “Hispanics, and the vast majority of the illegal aliens are NOT violent criminals.”
    · * * * * DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING * * * * * YEA!!!!!! Hallelujah! Robert Berger FINALLY got one right (one out of say, thirty-thousand wrong assumptions that he has expressed at this web log)! He is correct. The MAJORITY of illegal aliens are NOT VIOLENT criminals. However, what he fails to realize is that 100% of them ARE CRIMINALS!!!! Silly boy. How could we be so harsh? What our boy-wonder fails to admit is that nearly 30% of our federal prison population is comprised of illegals (a gross disproportion to TOTAL prison population compared to aggregate population).
    Robert Berger said: “The Obama administration’s social and economic policies are hardly perfect, but they are vastly preferable to what right-wing politicians would do if they got the power”
    I say: How so? Thee Obama administration’s “social and economic policies” are to redistribute wealth from those who have earned it to those that did not. You are a Lilliputian that loves the concept of “fairness”. How is this “fair”? Tell us please, what happens when those that “have” to give to the “have nots” get tired of it and leave? What happens when they have no more to give? Continue to support Comrade Obama, the Manchurian President and you will find out the hard way.
    You should really read this book. I take no pleasure in being so right and your being so wrong. It is a tragedy to both of us and all of us. Our nation needs people like you, the willfully deluded, to admit that you were sold a bill of goods and to set our Ship of State aright and on course for liberty and prosperity for ALL of us. Not just selected and “oppressed” minorities, but ALL of us, as proscribed in the 14th amendment of our Constitution – you know, the one that you have never read.

    I say: You freaking IDIOT! You have NEVER read the Constitution, nor do you UNDERSTAND it, nor do you realize what it is for. You hopeless child. The Constitution was correctly identified by your precious Marxist Barack Hussein Obama, II as a document of “negative” liberties. He does not like the fact that it limits government empowerment over our individual lives and choices. By your logic, it is perfectly okay to have a government bureaucrat enter your home on a 90° day and set your thermostat to 80° or on a 30° day to set it at 50°. It is clear to me that you either have NEVER read the US Constitution or that you do not understand a single word of it, you hapless and hopeless twit!
    Robert Berger said: “If you don’t like something,you use it as an excuse to advocate banning it, despite the fact that this was never intended to be its purpose.”

    Robert Berger said: “If people are homophobes, they use the constitution as an excuse to justify their homophobia and to persecute gay people”.
    I say: You have already admitted to never having read either of the two most seminal works on this subject. What makes you think that you have any authority WHATSOEVER on this subject. I can assure that no one cares a whit about your sick and misguided opinions thereof.
    Furthermore, you invoke the term “homophobe” without realizing (child that you are) that this suggests “fear” of homosexuals. Let m esasure that I and those that think like me fear NOTHING. YOU, however, did not answer to my accusation that you are a Christophobe, of which mindset you have plenty to fear. Silly child.
    Robert Berger said: “If they are anti-choice, they use the constitution to try to force women to bear children against their will,or if a pregancy would threaten their health or lives,of if they were too poor to take care of that child”
    I say: This is your way of responding to the charges that I have laid at your feet regarding abortion. You cannot deal with the facts and statistics that I have previously cited. Instead, you suggest that I and my like-minded brethren “use” the Constitution to try to “force” women from murdering the fetuses that there licentious lifestyles have brought about while simultaneously excusing their fathers (or eliminating their choice) from their fiduciary responsibilities. You are woefully uniformed on this subject and you should shut your fat and ridiculous mouth until you have read about the pain and suffering of its victims. I suggest that you start with “Exposed: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness in Her Profession Endangers Every Student” by Anonymous, M.D. and “Prude: How the Sex-Obsessed Culture Damages Girls” by Carol Platt Liebau. Until you have read either of these works, you are once again woefully uninformed on this subject and, as a matter of human decency; you should shut the “eff” up about it. Your opinions are perpetually uninformed, misinformed and mistaken unless you can cite sources of learned scholarship that support your opinions. To the best of my recollection, you have NEVER one so, so shut the “eff” up already.
    Robert Berger said: “But the constitution has absolutely NOTHING to do with such matters.”
    I say: How the HELL would you know? You have NEVER read it! Nor would you understand it.
    Robert Berger said: “You conservatives are always claiming that you want the constitution to be followed,and accusing liberals of supposedly violating it. But you don’t know diddly-squat about this document.”
    I say: “J’accuse”. You can figure that one out on your own. Loser.
    Robert Berger said: “I repeat; people like you and the right-wing politicians you support are the REAL threat to freedom in America today.”
    I say: Yes, you repeat. Ad nauseum. But you never show any evidence of how or why this is so. Unlike you, I am willing to reconsider and change my opinions when facts and evidence contradict them. I started doing this at about the age of fourteen. You should try it sometime.
    Robert Berger said: “And Phil, you are one of the useful idiots those right-wing politicians are always manipulating.”
    I say: Very good, Dr. Robert. You use a left-wing term to attempt to smear someone you accuse of “right-wing” ideology. Your duplicity and hypocrisy is showing, dear child. Let’s leave the labels out of this. There is good and there is evil. You are on the wrong side of this equation and I truly pity you.

    Philip,
    You’ve really done all your able to do with this Robert guy. Its obvious he hasn’t the ability or maybe even the desire to try and refute what your saying. Robert is a moron who has proven this many times over. Every now and again he starts out with something tangible than he just goes off the deep end.
    Here is my favorite line:
    “I haven’t read the books you mention, but I know”
    Lol, that’s like the old Obama saying: I don’t know all the facts, but its obvious the cops were acting stupidily.
    Way to put your foot in your mouth Robert. You rant on and on against this “right -wing” conspiracy that is super dangerous to our countries existence, but you show no evidence of this. I agree that I don’t want our country to shift to far in either direction. As much as I would like to see a far right government, I appreciate the wisdom our framers had in making a partisan form of government and separation of powers.
    Most of the complaints you have against the right are founded on hand wringing and emotionalism. Abortion is a crime to the right b/c we respect life. That is an unalterable principle. Even if we neglect the child after its born, this is no reason to take its life. Homosexuality, besides being an obvious health risk to the country with higher rates of STD’s, violence, drug use etc, its a violation of the institute of marriage. No one is persecuting homosexuals with legislation or the Constitution, people are fighting to preserve to institution of marriage. An institution we believe to be sacred and a blessing from God.
    However, I realize that trying to convince is near futile. In the many months that you’ve posted here I’ve yet to see you post evidence to support your claims. I realize that blogs and forums can be aggravating b/c nothing quite does it like live debates, but you at least have to support your arguments with evidence if anyone is going to take you seriously. Robert, you truly remind me of a child.

    Right on Shaun, and thank you for your support of wholesome thought and sound reason.
    Robert Berger is a willfully deluded sociopath who cannot think on his own. He draws conculsions based on populist beliefs propagated by the mainstream media and then can only echo their (shallow and vapid)talking points.
    He is one of far too many that embrace THE lie of Romans 1:25. The English King James version uses the indefinite article “a”; however the Greek manuscripts utilize the definite article “the” in identifying “THE” lie, Robert Berger and his useful idiot fellow-travelers have ALL been seduced by this lie.
    Anyone who wishes to debate politics and/or religion (the only two topics that are truly relevant) should master the first chapter of the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans. The subject matter is as vital and releveant today as it was in the 1st Century.
    To any visitor at Selwynduke.com I offer the benefits of my research and understanding.

    So I’m a “willfully deluded sociopath who can’t think on my own”,and I draw my conslusions based on blah blah blah.
    That’s a laugh! I happen to be much better-informed than you guys. And I have read many books,articles and blogs on social issues by both liberals and conservatives,too many to mention.I certainly don’t agree with everything in the writings of the liberals,but the the things said by the conservatives(really reactionaies) are far more specious and infinitely stupider.
    Being homosexual is no more reprehensible than being left-handed.Saying that there’s a sinister gay conspiracy in America is as idiotic as saying that there’s a sinister conspiracy by southpaws. And I’m a
    leftie myself,but heterosexual.
    Disagreeing with conservative social,political and economic views does not make you a Marxist or communist.
    The who conservative(reactionary)world view is so stupid.They want an America in which there are low or non-eixstent taxes and they still expect the government to function,and demand their social security checks on time.
    They demand that poor or deathly ill women give birth to children whether they can afford it or not or it would kill them,yet don’t give a you-know-what about the unborn once they’re born,and want the government to end all helpt to poor pregnant women and the poor in general.
    They want the poor to”pull themselves up by their bootstraps” even if they have no boots.If you’re born poor or now down on your luck,tough noogies.
    They expect our schools to improve greatly through vouchers and school choice,but they fail to realize that there are only a limited number of good schools,and there aren’t enough to provide all kids with a good education.
    They constantly whine about “Christians being persecuted” in America despite the fact that there is religious freedom here for all,and no one is being persecuted merely for being a Christian.
    They demand a return to “traditional values” and “family values” despute the fact that these loaded terms are nothing but a code world for the government prying into our bedrooms and private lives in general,and imposing censorship on television,fils, and what we read,etc. They have totally unrealistic goals and expectations about marriage and the family,and extremely unhelathy attutes toward sex.
    They envision an America where there is no abortion,no
    homosexuality,no divorce or few of them,every child has two hetersexual parents,no pornography,not even tasteful erotica,and not even something as normal and healthy as masturbation,no one uses contraceptives,or has sex before or outside of marriage,even adults who have never nbeen married,and everyone goes to church on Sunday,watches G-rated films and television,there’s no sex education except abstinence only, we all have big contented families, our public schools have Christian prayer and Bible readings every day,even for kids from Jewish,Muslim,Hindu,Buddhist,atheist and agnostic families, and everybody lives happily ever after.
    Lah dee da! What a pretty fairy tale! Please!!!!!!
    Give me a break!!!! There is absolutely way to create a society lile this. None has ever existed or ever will. And if our government ever attempts to force society into this presposterously unrealistic mold, the results will be catastrophic for this great nation.
    This is why Obama, whatever his faults and weaknesses,is infinitely preferable to some right-wing demagogue.

    The way you guys have been demonizing me here is quite amusing. In fact,I’m just a run-of-the-mill moderate liberal, and there’s absolutely nothing extreme or wacko about my views,which are quite similar to millions of other sensible Americans.
    And yes, this nation MUST be wary of the religious right.I have no problems with people being Christians,of whatever denomination, but the religious right is made up of a bunch of appallingly narrow-minded,intolerat and self-righteous people who think that they have all the answers,and that America must conform to their world views or else.
    The problem with social conservatives is that they have totally unrealistic goals and expectations about marriage and the family and extremely unhealthy attitudes toward sex.
    They want an America(and preferably,a world) where there is no abortion,no homosexuality,no use of contraceptives,no divorce or very few of them, no pornography,not even tasteful erotica, no sex education in schools other than abstinence only, no sex before or outside of marriage,even for adults who have never been married.
    They also want the government to pry into our bedrooms, and to censor books,magazines,films,television programs etc which they consider “indecent” or “obscene”. They want Christian prayer in our public schools even for students from Jewish,Muslim,Hindu,Buddhist,atheist or agnostic homes.
    They want religion to have too much power in America and to have undue influence on legislation, which would guarantee serious violation of the rights of non-christians.
    They want children to be brought up only by two hetersexual parents.
    And they want every one to have big,contented families,watch G-rated television and films,go to church every Sunday and live happily ever after.
    Jeeze Louise! Holy cow! Lah dee da! What a pretty fairy tale.
    But there is absolutely no way to create such a society. No such society has ever existed or ever will.
    And if the US government attempts to force this nation into such a preposterously unrealistic mold, the results will be catastrophic for this great nation.

    Robert Berger has responded with another round of “things I think I think”. He does so without actually KNOWING anything. It is a matter of record here at SelwynDyke.com that Robert Berger is an intellectual infant that spouts his unfounded opinions without ever demonstrating from which or whence his opinions are derived. Like so many atypical modern “liberals” (i.e. insane lunatics) he arrives at a conclusion based on his observation of the doxy of mainstream media. He then “supports” his opinions by echoing the talking points of outed lunatics, radicals and pseudo-Marxist useful idiots such as Rachel Maddow, Contessa Brewer, Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermadmann.
    I hate to break it to you, fella: These twits have been “outed” as intellectual midgets. For proof, look at their ratings.
    Just for sport, I will deconstruct his latest missive. I take no pleasure in stomping on his thoughts and conclusions. I must, of necessity, never allow such idiocy to be out in public domain unchallenged. It is most tiresome to respond to the rantings of one who has clearly lost his mind. Perhaps it is/was drugs. Perhaps it is due to the fact that Mr. Berger may have been raised in a household without a loving father. Perhaps it is due to the fact that Mr. Berger might have been abused/molested as a child. These would be circumstances that merit our sympathy and our empathy. However, EACH of us are responsible for our own lives, our decisions and worldview, regardless of our upbringing. In conclusion. Robert is without excuse. Now, to his missive:
    Robert Berger said: “I read Joseph Farah’s columns every day at World Nut Daily(my spelling), and I have a low opinion of him not because he’s an Arab American Christian,but because he’s a horse’s ass.”
    I say: (In my best Joe Wilson impersonation) “You LIE!”. I know this because I subscribe to WND. They are a pain-in-the-ass in that they send me at least a half-dozen links each day. Rarely is one of these written by Joseph Farrah. Joe’s articles are produced in a MONTHLY publication: Whitsleblower Magazine. Reading his articles requires a PAID subscription. You phony liar. I KNOW that you do not subscribe. You could not do so and remain so stupid and so uninformed. As for your insult to this great American, you cannot get out from under MY charge that you are LIVING PROOF that there are more “horse’s asses” in the world than there are horses.
    Robert Berger said: “This arrogant,hypocritical and self-righteous clown has concocted the whole ridiculous birther farce,and still can’t accept the fact that Obama,like him or not,is our freely and legitimately elected President.”
    I say: You once again fail to deal with known and documented facts that I have repeatedly presented to you on a silver platter. By known facts, it is impossible for Barack Hussein Obama, II to be a US Citizen. Calm down and listen. I emphasize “known” facts. They are as follows:
    · If Barack Obama were born in Honolulu in 1961, as he alleges, he CANNOT be a US Citizen. He was born to a foreign national and British subject and his mother (under the age of 18) could not legally confer citizenship to him. This is FACT, Robert. Like it or not.
    · Barack Obama’s relatives in Kenya proudly proclaim that he was born there. They have publicly attested to witnessing his birth. This does prove that he was (born there), but there is more documented evidence of this than there is evidence of proof that he was born in the US and there is no evidence refuting my previous point.
    · Obama’s own memoirs and verifiable evidence show that Obama’s floozy mother shacked up with an Indonesian Muslim named Lolo Sotoero. Obama freely admits, and evidence is extant, that Obama was adopted by Sotoero. This made him a legal citizen of Indonesia and a Moslem. He attended a Moslem Madrassa. To forsake his Moslem faith would equate to apostasy, punishable by death according to Moslem tradition. There is not a SHRED of evidence disproving this. Perhaps he DID reapply for US Citizenship. If so, his birth factors, as shown in point #1 would make this problematic. This does not make his apostasy go away. How do you account for this, aside from covering your eyes and ears and pretending that such glaring evidence exists? Huh?
    · After facts regarding his eligibility persisted to swirl, despite the burying of it by the sissies, bedwetters and homosexuals in the mainstream media, the Obama campaign posted a “Certificate of Live Birth” on his website. This pseudo-document was swiftly and immediately debunked as a fraud and forgery. Why go to such lengths to conceal an “inconvenient” truth? Why not simply make this entire controversy go away by publishing the actual long-form birth certificate?
    Any rational person would conclude that there are at least some VERY SERIOUS questions about Obama’s eligibility that remain unanswered. There are serious implications to this outcome; including the fact that EVERY bill signed, EVERY Executive Order and EVERY directive by him would be null and void (including the Marxist health-care deform legislation). Joseph Farrah has been thusly exhonerated.
    Robert Berger said: “I read the asinine drivel he writes every day for entertainment. How can any intelligent person take him seriously?”
    I say: The “asinine drivel” of which you accuse Joseph Farrah of actually convicts you of your emptiness and ignorance. Whether you agree with him or not does not negate the reality that he is imminently more informed than you are. In your condemnation of him, you have not quoted ONE SINGLE STATEMENT of his. You have not analyzed it openly nor have you been able to deconstruct a single statement of his to bolster our point of view. Robert, this may have worked on your playground, but this clearly does not work here. The more you respond, the more of a child that you demonstrate yourself to be.
    Robert, I mean no harm when I say this. Just reality. To the other posters at this website, you are less than a child. You are a moron. You are a lunatic, a man that has lost his grip on reality. The more you dig, the deeper into this abyss you go. Regulars like Walt, Shaun and me bash your brains in (figuratively speaking, of course). Selwyn Duke went out of his way to single-out your stupidity out by devoting an entire article to your disconnect with reality.
    I truly pity you and I would like to help you. I made an offer previously that you resoundly rejected. That offer still stands. You are a troubled man that needs serious help. I offer my hand in helping you overcome your disability. I vow to do so with a loving hand with all kindness and gentleness. I am not attempting to “patronize” you (your word) but I am offering the benefits of my lifelong and studious search for truth and knowledge. You may reject my findings in the end, and I would respect you for at least considering them, but my thoughts and opinions are not in any wise casually obtained. Rather, they are result of vigorous reading and study. I would add that my thoughts and opinions are not my own, but the sum of thoughts expressed by Eternal Doctrine and even of earthly men who I cannot compare myself to worthily.
    The Truth shall make you free. It is apparent to me that you are imprisoned.
