"It is now time for Western Christians and non-Christians alike ..."
to acknowledge that men such as Alexis de Tocqueville were correctand various concepts such as free expression, freedom of association, and other hallowed concepts of Western civilization simply do not translate outside of Western Christian culture. What was once theoretical is now empirical thanks to more than sixty years of evidence that strongly suggests that human liberty is simply not compatible with non-Christian, non-Western culture. -- Vox Popoli: The chickens begin to roost

Your Say
Knowing what "the dead white Europeans" learned the hard way is reason 8947 why it was very important for the commie-libs to take over the schools. It's also reason 8947 why real citizens must teach themselves what citizens need to know. There is no institution or expert you can rely on to know these things. There is no cavalry to ride to our rescue. There is no authority to set things straight.
I strongly recommend Mark Levin's books "Liberty & Tyranny" and "Ameritopia."

One of the best comments there, by JT:
"And Eliezer strove with the man of Sodom on account of the poor man, and when Eliezer approached to recover the poor man's clothes from the man of Sodom, he hastened and with a stone smote Eliezer in the forehead.
And the blood flowed copiously from Eliezer's forehead, and when the man saw the blood he caught hold of Eliezer, saying, Give me my hire for having rid thee of this bad blood that was in thy forehead, for such is the custom and the law in our land.
And Eliezer said to him, Thou hast wounded me and requirest me to pay thee thy hire; and Eliezer would not hearken to the words of the man of Sodom.
And the man laid hold of Eliezer and brought him to Shakra the judge of Sodom for judgment.
And the man spoke to the judge, saying, I beseech thee my lord, thus has this man done, for I smote him with a stone that the blood flowed from his forehead, and he is unwilling to give me my hire.
And the judge said to Eliezer, This man speaketh truth to thee, give him his hire, for this is the custom in our land; and Eliezer heard the words of the judge, and he lifted up a stone and smote the judge, and the stone struck on his forehead, and the blood flowed copiously from the forehead of the judge, and Eliezer said, If this then is the custom in your land give thou unto this man what I should have given him, for this has been thy decision, thou didst decree it."
Our laws/courts/judges are more and more resembling Sodom's in being completely asinine.

There will be much more smiting before reason travels the land again.

Tocqueville, who knew the Russian despots and Islamic nutters very well, also said that he knew of nothing so miserable as democracy without liberty. Rule 8948. Skip Levin, read the original. An astounding man.

No, it is just the Muslim Savages, the Confucians and the Buddhists are doing pretty well.
