The Western Enlightenment versus Democrat leftist slavery:
Lies underpin rackets. The racket of the Democrat party for example.
The social justice warriors sit in their meeting houses (such as at Unitarian Universalist churches). They dream of who can be the top level victim next.
1. Muslims, and especially hijab/burqa wearing Saudi style Muslims.
2. "Childfree" third wave feminists with blue hair.
3. The gender dysphoric (transexuals).
4. The sexual orientation dysphoric (aka gays).
5. Mexicans.
6. 'Native' Americans AKA Amerindians.
7. Leftist black women.
8. Leftist black men.
9. Leftist white women.
10. Conservative black women.
11. Conservative black men.
12. Asian men & women.
13. Conservative white women.
14. Leftist white men.
15. Conservative white men.
16. Ex-Muslims.
It's a victimhood competition.
The only way for a pink skin (ie: white), to move up the list is to either a.) become Muslim, or b.) deny your 1.2 billion year evolved DNA coded gender, or c.) engage in the lie first hand that forcing yourself to (or 'catching' a stupid meme that you should) be a NON-inherently-reproductive outlier.
The left today only wants a diversity regarding superficial traits, but a monoculture regarding social theory - only their theory allowed.
The meme set known as the Democrat Party is responsible for slavery and booting Amerindians off of their land.

As a reflexive naive chump noob atheist I too glommed onto the idea that the Democratic Party was for the common man and 'individual rights.'
But the right to do what?Historically: the right to be a slave or a master. The right to be lighter skinned, vs the right to be booted off of your land. The right to have your ancestors be from Europe, versus the right to have ancestors from Japan thereby resulting in your internment.
And today, the right to be a happy heathy normal female and male in a family with children, versus the right to be an abusive denialist unhappy suicidal forced outlier.
The right to be the master of your destiny, versus the right to be a slave in a current urban Democrat Plantation.
The right to be born once conceived, versus the right to he killed via a Margaret Sanger poor and black people hating eugenicist legacy group.
The right to be true to your heritage as a 1.2 billion year sexual history sexually dimorphic animal - one who's been to the moon and who crafted the best meme sets which help humans thrive: the Enlightenment and America. Versus the right to be a moron chump who believes a pack a lies so that a sociopathic elite can skate on top of your labor and support via indentitarian virtue signaling and having group rights versus individual rights.
I now choose to be with the moon walking people versus the belly button staring slaves.

Trump versus Hillary: Trump had better Be the Republic!
Trump had better be the Republic, as per very excellent evaluations by Pat Condell, Camille Paglia, Michael Moore's evaluation of why good people have good reasons to support Trump, Sebastian Gorka, Peter Thiel, James Kallstrom, and de facto Christopher Hitchens.
What may have seemed a 'farce' is actually a right-heated blue-collar-values rich guy trying to keep a couple of dirty raping crooks out of the White House. Using his own money to do so, versus the money of the global elite & non-free foreign countries.
The actual face is the state of the American old establishment media. The sociopaths who took little notice of the raping ways of the Clintons in the first instance, and who've played cover for them time & after time. Cover for a crime family.
'Advantages' of Hillary:
1. Maintaining the Obama status quo, where America 'leads from behind.'
2. Maintaining full funding for Planned Parenthood abortion clinics.
Disadvantages of Hillary:
1. Maintaining the Obama status quo, where America 'leads from behind.' Islamic State was birthed with the help of Obama & Hillary.
2. Maintaining full funding for Planned Parenthood abortion clinics. Up to 4 Supreme Court justices may be appointed by Hillary.
3. Hillary got the rapist of a 12 year old off the hook. Victim left in a coma for 5 days, and sterile.
4. Being a rape enabling wife who slut shamed the victims of Bill.
5. Pay to play whoring (whoring out the public trust that is) at the Department of State & elsewhere.
Related film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LYRUOd_QoM&t=78s
6. Classified information mishandling, illegal deletion, and deletion after receiving a subpoena.
7. Leftists are already attempting to destroy the 1st and 2nd Amendments. The 1st amendment is under attack at virtually all college campuses, and leftist-run cam. Why is the 2nd Amendment of value? Because it allows the citizenry to protect themselves against terrorists and unhinged psychopaths. Europe is toothless and impotent. Violent people there just mow right over whomever they want and shoot whomever they want
8. Selling us out for personal gain. One example:
Uranium One
Advantages of Trump:
1. Working to overthrow the corrupt left-right Establishment.
2. Working to overthrow the all the 'old media' which is part of the Establishment, the establishment which lies every day about conservatives in this country.
3. The people who support Trump, and who state why there's damn good reasons to support him.

Peter Thiel:
Camille Paglia: http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/10/the-woman-is-a-disaster-camille-paglia-on-hillary-clinton/
Quote from article:
Paglia says she has absolutely no idea how the election will go: ‘But people want change and they’re sick of the establishment — so you get this great popular surge, like you had one as well… This idea that Trump represents such a threat to western civilization — it’s often predicted about presidents and nothing ever happens — yet if Trump wins it will be an amazing moment of change because it would destroy the power structure of the Republican party, the power structure of the Democratic party and destroy the power of the media. It would be an incredible release of energy… at a moment of international tension and crisis.’
---end of quote
Democrats should ask Clinton to step aside
4. Trump advocates for blue collar values, and even for the value of Vocational Education - something my father spent his life also advocating for. Mentioned during this speech by Trump: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=544610579067653&id=414280728767306
Also I remember when Ross Perot talked about the 'great sucking sound' that comes from unequal trade deals. The Bushs and the Clintons are *for* globalist trade which hurts American workers.
At BYU they tried to teach me the value of such economics, dogmatically. But such deals run counter to the traditional Democrat values of my father, yet again.
Wall Street bankers and globalists have no problem with raping the American worker & shipping our jobs overseas. People like the Clintons use identitarian virtue signalling as a means of hoodwinking leftists into supporting them, while simultaneously being nothing more than corporatist globalist whores.
---
When it comes to the Clintons, the snarling watchdogs of the media — whose freedom to scrutinize the powerful was enshrined in the First Amendment by the Founding Fathers — are as menacing as a backyard full of puppies. They say that criminals always return to the scene of the crime. Voters must decide if they will send the Clinton crime family back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
...quote ends, from: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/435968/hillary-clinton-bill-clinton-crime-family-where-politics-and-mafia-meet
A borderless country = no country.
Like Mexican drug gangs & mass killings in secret graves in the hinterland? They'll be here even more with the mostly-borderless status quo or with an even more open border.
Want more Orlando & 9/11 & San Bernardo mass slayings, in the name of the prophet of Islam (SBUM - poop be upon him)? Import more Islam people.
The 'way of Europe' in these matters is a form of suicide.
Want Cologne-style mass rapes in America? Import more Islamic people.
At least in America we have the 2nd Amendment, an amendment which helps protect the 1st. In toothless impotent Europe, the common citizenry gets to lay back and be raped by the immigrants - and when they are raped, the police & politicians actively hide the truth regarding who's doing the raping. Thus Brexit was born.
America was founded on Enlightenment principles: the freedom to question (& lampoon) *all* ideas. Doesn't mean all ideas are of equal value. But we won't know in the first place unless 100% freedom of speech exists.
Want the Enlightenment to continue? Vote Trump.
Want a rape-enabling crooked pay-to-play sociopathic damaged plastic soulless harlot in as our President? Then Vote for Her.
Disadvantages of Trump (if he wins):
1. The crony sociopathic whores get *less* control. The globalist elite get to make *less* money.
Drain the swamp.

The Problems with Hillary Clinton
The problems with Hillary Clinton:
http://www.breitbart.com/radio/2016/10/17/trevor-loudon-if-hillary-clinton-elected-never-be-another-republican-president/
Like racism? In a Democrat controlled world, your race equals your identity, and your views, and what rights you have and don't have, what you get to say or don't say, whom you get to criticize and not criticize.
Identity politics, and nothing else.
Racist racism, from the regressive left - which is *all* the left is nowadays, regressive.
So Vote For Her, if you want this, permanently, in America. And if she wins, well I just be joinin' all the other white folk so we can be in the "White Wing" of the Democrat party. We'll be down the list quite a bit, on the list of group-rights. Down toward the bottom, just above ex-Muslims.
There is argumentum ad hominem. Sometimes the shoe fits and thus argumentation to the person isn't always a fallacy as such, especially when the person in question is slimy repeated rapist & etc. Recently my views on the value of Alex Jones & his network & presence have changed mostly completely.
There's people in power, people who want to stay in power. They'll do pretty much anything to stay in power.
The Europe of the 70s - more nice.
The Europe of today: a disaster, nor a clarion of freedom. If you speak your mind, you will be ejected from your job & polite society, and you may be jailed. Also low birth rates in Europe are essentially a form of slow motion suicide. Europe is importing a medieval savage culture into their midst. Rape gangs in Cologne. Mass rape elsewhere. And if you're a 'native' European and you complain, you risk loosing your job & being otherwise slimed by everyone, and possibly jailed. Tell the truth, go to jail. This is Europe today. Geert Wilders. But now just the common Joe Schmoe can get locked up for speaking the truth. Not an idea society in several ways.
In my past naivete I saw socialism as ideal - but to get there you basically need a type of totalitarianism. The Mommy State which knows all & which does all. The Mommy State which replaces family & personal responsibility. And the Mommy State which decides which speech & thought is appropriate, and which speech & thought must be banned.
MSNBC has a constant drum beat. But it's a drum beat also taken up by banal & boring sites like the BBC & the PBS Newshour. The 'status quo' drumbeat which serves to keep the establishment cronies in power.
When a President is/was a rapist, and all the Newshour & CNN & MSNBC can do is engage in sociopathic evaluations which treat politics like a football game & so on, and when they show their clear bias by not addressing stories which cast shadows on their favored leaders - that's a problem.
There is a new phenomenon called the 'regressive left.'
Most of the left, the type which calls out people for being Islamophobic & so on, they *are* the cultural left nowadays. The types which have setup social hierarchies based on every imaginable category, with Caucasian males being near the bottom of that list. The current perceived & apparent hierarchy:
1. Muslims, and especially hijab/burqa wearing Saudi style Muslims.
2. "Childfree" third wave feminists with blue hair.
3. The gender dysphoric (transexuals).
4. The sexual orientation dysphoric (aka gays).
5. Mexicans.
6. 'Native' Americans AKA Amerindians.
7. Leftist black women.
8. Leftist black men.
9. Leftist white women.
10. Conservative black women.
11. Conservative black men.
12. Asian men & women.
13. Conservative white women.
14. Leftist white men.
15. Conservative white men.
16. Ex-Muslims.
What prompted me to change from a liberal socialist Democrat to an alternative-conservative:
Step 1, while still a leftist: Exposure to the ideas of Christopher Hitchens, a guy who spent much of his life questioning dominant paradigms. Eventually his basic human morality came at odds with the relativism of the left. So, he supported the war in Iraq & the Kurds, because he thought it was simply the moral thing to do, leftist peacenik politics be damned. He for his heresy, he was ejected from the 'polite society left.'
Step 2, while still a leftist: Exposure to intriguing info from Richard Dawkins (about memes), Daniel Dennett (how meme sets called religions are fully natural phenomena), and Steven Pinker (how humans are not 'blank slates.').
Step 3, viewing leftist Islamophilia and outright lies about Islam.
http://jonathanshome.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-new-creed-of-unitarian-universalism.html
...but the UU position is fully illustrative of how the entire left acts, except for a few lonelies like Sam Harris.
"The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."
http://reason.com/blog/2012/09/25/president-obama-says-we-must-condemn-tho
...an incredible betrayal of the ideals of the Enlightenment which helped to found America.
Step 4, marrying a socially conservative atheist from China who has zero connection to the Bible, Quran, or Book of Mormon. Where does rural Chinese social conservatism come from? From human nature. From evolution. Evolved traits.
Hippie 'scientists' love the permissive traits, but they then fully discount ingrained natural conservative ones.
Dawkins wrote a book about how Darwin had a 'dangerous idea.' Dennett had one also, regarding religion being a natural phenomenon - a fact which cuts several ways. One way it cuts is that fully natural & sometimes highly useful evolved moral codes can be and are couched within religious contexts. Hard thing for an ex-Mormon with a chip on his shoulder to admit.
Step 5, after taking an Alice in Wonderland style social journey through much of what the left has to offer (eg: nudist clubs, polyamory clubs, gay bars & parties, general over-permissiveness & relativism) I came to conclude that the cultural left basically denies human evolutionary history and basic biology just as much as the right does, and probably more - because at least the cultural right f-ing breeds.
Step 6, observing what happened with Hebdo (cartoonists killed) & Garland (winning ex-Muslim cartoonist almost killed), and with Obama and the establishment left's basic lying about Islam, I finally started to check out 'the right.' Not the religious right, but rather the libertarian and intellectual right - as currently portrayed and represented by people who're here today.
Douglas Murray, essentially a gay neocon. Tells the truth about Islam. A questioner of dominant paradigms.
https://www.youtube.com/user/DouglasMurrayArchive
http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/author/douglas-murray/
Mark Steyn, who occasionally subs for Rush Limbaugh - http://www.steynonline.com/
Tells the truth about Islam & other topics. A questioner of dominant paradigms.
I already knew about Ayaan Hirsi Ali & Theo Van Gogh. But it's worth making note that Ayaan is hosted in America by the American Enterprise Institute. Which leftist organization has the back of Ayaan & people like her? None, and that's telling.
Bosch Fawstin, the ex-Muslim winner of the Draw Mohamed Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas, the one where two Muslim people tried to kill people there. Bosch is an appreciator of Ayn Rand. The people who hosted the event also like Rand: Pam Geller and Robert Spencer.
Step 7, checking out more libertarian and conservative thought & news & views. For the first time ever opening myself up to the entirety of what's out there on the right. I was raised as a Democrat by a Democrat Mormon father. He loved Bill Clinton & Carter. He hated Reagan & Nixon. And I followed in his footsteps. But for the first time I stopped assuming that everything on the right was inherently bogus.
Step 8, finding Milo Yiannopoulos, a gay conservative who sees high utilitarian value in Trump. Before encountering Milo I believed the basic establishment conservative (National Review) lie about Trump, that he's supposedly a shill for Hillary - a way to block other Republicans & to ensure that Hillary gets elected.
The interview that first swayed me to Trump's camp, between Milo & Dave Rubin:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiA0P9iELAA
Step 9, I allowed to fall away the last vestiges of being a leftist, by allowing myself to see high value in Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.
The only reason Rush has a voice & is popular, is because most of the establishment media aren't acting like fair journalists.
Wouldn't it be good if everyone thought like 'the left?' Such a result does not allow for proper selection within human societies. Single party rule excludes healthy selection (selection as is in natural selection). And when journalists are essentially shills and tools & propagandists for everything leftist, they cease being journalists. This is why Rush is so popular, because he can spend 3 hours every day making note of example after example.
As for Fox News, I particularly enjoy Sean Hannity's program, and also his talk radio show.
Step 10, don't forget about Andrew Breitbart, a man who stated that Christopher Hitchens helped make him the man he became:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj5U7yotkic
To actually see if our suppositions are correct, there's needs to be a cogent and coherent and powerful opposition. Not every idea that pops into the head of a 'childfree' blue haired third wave feminist lesbian will help humanity survive & thrive & be happy.
What is the 'alt right?'
Part 1: A response to the big-money big-bank crony-whore-rooted betrayal of people who're on the right.
Part 2: Former leftists who've had it with the slow motion suicide policies of the left, the anti-freedom, anti-science, anti-intellectual inquiry, lies, deceptions, Islamophilia, 'childfree' status worshiping, and cronyism on the left.
Cackling Hillary thinks the 'alt right' is, well, I don't know what she really thinks because she's got as many faces as Sybil. Her pandering politician side claims the 'alt right' is fully equal to the ideas of David Duke. And Bill Clinton thinks that the core of Trump supporters are 'red necks.' Either they don't know, or they're just trying to virtue signal to get votes.
No one ever hears about David Duke, until every 4 years Republicans must disavow him. But when shall leftists be required to disavow their outlier nuts?
The near entirely of Milo's channel is a great trove of info regarding why exactly intelligent young people, and some older ones, see high utilitarian value in overturning the apple cart of the crony left & the crony right - AKA electing Trump & doing other related tasks.
https://www.youtube.com/user/yiannopoulosm
Bathing in pigs blood.
Showing up as Ivanna Wall (I wan't a wall) drag queen.
Stating exactly why 'feminism is cancer,' and why 'Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy.'
What if some precepts in leftist doctrine are in fact incorrect & hurtful. When we claim that our beliefs are not falsifiable, we're in a religion.
Wife of Bill called Milo & Breitbart out for the above quoted headlines. But, the left appears to have no tolerance for a.) nuance, and b.) ironic comedy, and c.) actually bothering to check why a person would say such a thing, and d.) are the roots of such claims based in science?
Sloganeering, and sliming people who spout views which don't tow the leftist party line. That's what a religion does, and it's what the left & the Clintons do. The basket of deplorables. Argumentum ad hominem - in a bad way which is a fallacy.
As for the Clintons, they have plenty of self generated slime.
Only Breitbart recently & fully interviewed the victims of Bill:
http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/10/09/breitbart-news-exclusive-video-interview-bill-clinton-accuser-juanita-broaddrick-breaks-describing-brutal-rapes/
Hannity did follow up more recently though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCA3otN2p1A
Trump has honorably given these victims of Bill & Hillary a proper voice:
http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/10/09/donald-trump-appears-bill-clintons-alleged-rape-sexual-assault-victims-ahead-debate/
Milo's main concern, and mine, are that Wife of Bill will reduce key freedoms in America.
...at Vanderbilt talking about this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oATZgWDddMU
Who's got the back of gays in America, threatened with death by Muslims? The politicians who lie & claim that such attacks have nothing to do with Islam?
I know Sam Harris doesn't like Trump nor Milo. Harris is essentially a very lonely leftist, and he's also rather myopic. Sam wishes the left would be honest about Islam, but it won't be.
Nuance from Milo:
1. The achievements of feminism were generally good, but third wave feminism is evil & abusive.
2. The achievements of civil rights campaigners in the past were good. But now that all the victories have been one, the left still has the righteous desire to keep fighting. To do so they must invent new categories of groups which 'need rights.'
Hillary and her drones will never understand the above points though.
Islam generates ruin. When will Bernie & Obama be stating that fact?
The schemers scheme in their back rooms & think tanks. They use one face in public & another in private. They use 'virtue signaling' as a means of claiming to be a great crusader for 'social justice,' while really being vacuous plastic wastrels (and real rapists) in reality.
Trump doesn't do that, from what we can tell - and that's another reason why some highly appreciate his tone & value.
Journalism is dead. You have to pick your side. I decided to stop listening the side which sides with the Islamic death cult, and the side which loves slow motion suicide, and the side which has an abusive hierarchy of group-rights which puts people like me near the bottom. 'Native' Amercians would never be allowed to be invaded & destroyed in today's world. But 'Native' Europeans? No problem. And there's many other problems with group-rights hierarchies and identity politics.
I probably aspire to the conservatism Jonathan Haidt mentions, with more equal alliance to Care, Fairness, Liberty, Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity. The Sanctity of life, not the Sanctity of sacred cows. Loyalty to the Enlightenment and Enlightenment principles. The Authority of the Rule of Law. Care, but not through the Dole because the Dole helps no one mostly. Fairness, but not 'social justice.' Fairness through a fairness of opportunity - but not opportunity at the cost of group rights hierarchies nor identity politics.

A further summary I wrote:
http://jonathanshome.blogspot.com/2016/09/my-journey-to-conservatism.html
Back to Sam Harris: I think he's a poor quality scientist, a hack at philosophy, myopic on politics, a drug addled wannabe Buddhist-style guru, and a new vegetarian who's fully placed himself on the road to probable Parkinson's (Robin Williams RIP). And I disagree with Harris on circumcision: http://jonathanshome.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-moral-blindness-of-sam-harris.html
The fact that Glenn Beck hates Trump, makes me want to vote for Trump.
The fact that the regressive left hates Trump, makes me want to vote for Trump.
The fact that the establishment right hates Trump, makes me want to vote for Trump.
The fact that Bill Clinton is a rapist and that his wife slimed Bill's victims, makes me want to vote for Trump.

Step 6, observing what happened with Hebdo (cartoonists killed) & Garland (winning ex-Muslim cartoonist almost killed), and with Obama and the establishment left's basic lying about Islam, I finally started to check out 'the right.' Not the religious right, but rather the libertarian and intellectual right - as currently portrayed and represented by people who're here today.
Douglas Murray, essentially a gay neocon. Tells the truth about Islam. A questioner of dominant paradigms.

Mark Steyn, who occasionally subs for Rush Limbaugh - http://www.steynonline.com/
Tells the truth about Islam & other topics. A questioner of dominant paradigms.
I already knew about Ayaan Hirsi Ali & Theo Van Gogh. But it's worth making note that Ayaan is hosted in America by the American Enterprise Institute. Which leftist organization has the back of Ayaan & people like her? None, and that's telling.
Bosch Fawstin, the ex-Muslim winner of the Draw Mohamed Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas, the one where two Muslim people tried to kill people there. Bosch is an appreciator of Ayn Rand. The people who hosted the event also like Rand: Pam Geller and Robert Spencer.
Step 7, checking out more libertarian and conservative thought & news & views. For the first time ever opening myself up to the entirety of what's out there on the right. I was raised as a Democrat by a Democrat Mormon father. He loved Bill Clinton & Carter. He hated Reagan & Nixon. And I followed in his footsteps. But for the first time I stopped assuming that everything on the right was inherently bogus.
Step 8, finding Milo Yiannopoulos, a gay conservative who sees high utilitarian value in Trump. Before encountering Milo I believed the basic establishment conservative (National Review) lie about Trump, that he's supposedly a shill for Hillary - a way to block other Republicans & to ensure that Hillary gets elected.
The interview that first swayed me to Trump's camp, between Milo & Dave Rubin:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiA0P9iELAA
Step 9, I allowed to fall away the last vestiges of being a leftist, by allowing myself to see high value in Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.
The only reason Rush has a voice & is popular, is because most of the establishment media aren't acting like fair journalists.
Wouldn't it be good if everyone thought like 'the left?' Such a result does not allow for proper selection within human societies. Single party rule excludes healthy selection (selection as is in natural selection). And when journalists are essentially shills and tools & propagandists for everything leftist, they cease being journalists. This is why Rush is so popular, because he can spend 3 hours every day making note of example after example.
As for Fox News, I particularly enjoy Sean Hannity's program, and also his talk radio show.
Step 10, don't forget about Andrew Breitbart, a man who stated that Christopher Hitchens helped make him the man he became:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj5U7yotkic
To actually see if our suppositions are correct, there's needs to be a cogent and coherent and powerful opposition. Not every idea that pops into the head of a 'childfree' blue haired third wave feminist lesbian will help humanity survive & thrive & be happy.
What is the 'alt right?'
Part 1: A response to the big-money big-bank crony-whore-rooted betrayal of people who're on the right.
Part 2: Former leftists who've had it with the slow motion suicide policies of the left, the anti-freedom, anti-science, anti-intellectual inquiry, lies, deceptions, Islamophilia, 'childfree' status worshiping, and cronyism on the left.
Cackling Hillary thinks the 'alt right' is, well, I don't know what she really thinks because she's got as many faces as Sybil. Her pandering politician side claims the 'alt right' is fully equal to the ideas of David Duke. And Bill Clinton thinks that the core of Trump supporters are 'red necks.' Either they don't know, or they're just trying to virtue signal to get votes.
No one ever hears about David Duke, until every 4 years Republicans must disavow him. But when shall leftists be required to disavow their outlier nuts?
The near entirely of Milo's channel is a great trove of info regarding why exactly intelligent young people, and some older ones, see high utilitarian value in overturning the apple cart of the crony left & the crony right - AKA electing Trump & doing other related tasks.

Bathing in pigs blood.
Showing up as Ivanna Wall (I wan't a wall) drag queen.
Stating exactly why 'feminism is cancer,' and why 'Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy.'
What if some precepts in leftist doctrine are in fact incorrect & hurtful. When we claim that our beliefs are not falsifiable, we're in a religion.
Wife of Bill called Milo & Breitbart out for the above quoted headlines. But, the left appears to have no tolerance for a.) nuance, and b.) ironic comedy, and c.) actually bothering to check why a person would say such a thing, and d.) are the roots of such claims based in science?
Sloganeering, and sliming people who spout views which don't tow the leftist party line. That's what a religion does, and it's what the left & the Clintons do. The basket of deplorables. Argumentum ad hominem - in a bad way which is a fallacy.
As for the Clintons, they have plenty of self generated slime.
Only Breitbart recently & fully interviewed the victims of Bill:

Hannity did follow up more recently though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCA3otN2p1A
Trump has honorably given these victims of Bill & Hillary a proper voice:
http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/10/09/donald-trump-appears-bill-clintons-alleged-rape-sexual-assault-victims-ahead-debate/
Milo's main concern, and mine, are that Wife of Bill will reduce key freedoms in America.
...at Vanderbilt talking about this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oATZgWDddMU
Who's got the back of gays in America, threatened with death by Muslims? The politicians who lie & claim that such attacks have nothing to do with Islam?
I know Sam Harris doesn't like Trump nor Milo. Harris is essentially a very lonely leftist, and he's also rather myopic. Sam wishes the left would be honest about Islam, but it won't be.
Nuance from Milo:
1. The achievements of feminism were generally good, but third wave feminism is evil & abusive.
2. The achievements of civil rights campaigners in the past were good. But now that all the victories have been one, the left still has the righteous desire to keep fighting. To do so they must invent new categories of groups which 'need rights.'
Hillary and her drones will never understand the above points though.
Islam generates ruin. When will Bernie & Obama be stating that fact?
The schemers scheme in their back rooms & think tanks. They use one face in public & another in private. They use 'virtue signaling' as a means of claiming to be a great crusader for 'social justice,' while really being vacuous plastic wastrels (and real rapists) in reality.
Trump doesn't do that, from what we can tell - and that's another reason why some highly appreciate his tone & value.
Journalism is dead. You have to pick your side. I decided to stop listening the side which sides with the Islamic death cult, and the side which loves slow motion suicide, and the side which has an abusive hierarchy of group-rights which puts people like me near the bottom. 'Native' Amercians would never be allowed to be invaded & destroyed in today's world. But 'Native' Europeans? No problem. And there's many other problems with group-rights hierarchies and identity politics.
I probably aspire to the conservatism Jonathan Haidt mentions, with more equal alliance to Care, Fairness, Liberty, Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity. The Sanctity of life, not the Sanctity of sacred cows. Loyalty to the Enlightenment and Enlightenment principles. The Authority of the Rule of Law. Care, but not through the Dole because the Dole helps no one mostly. Fairness, but not 'social justice.' Fairness through a fairness of opportunity - but not opportunity at the cost of group rights hierarchies nor identity politics.

Back to Sam Harris: I think he's a poor quality scientist, a hack at philosophy, myopic on politics, a drug addled wannabe Buddhist-style guru, and a new vegetarian who's fully placed himself on the road to probable Parkinson's (Robin Williams RIP).

The fact that Bill Clinton is a rapist and that his wife slimed Bill's victims, makes me want to vote for Trump.

U.S. Constitution didn't come from the Bible. Rather it came as a direct result of The Reformation & The Enlightenment.
The U.S. Constitution didn't come from the Bible. Rather it came as a direct result of The Reformation & The Enlightenment.
On the back of Modified and Enlightened and Evolved Christian tradition.
So not directly from the Bible, but it was done by children raised within the general European Christian tradition that's true.
When I examine who on the social & political landscape supports a.) the freedom to draw Mohamed, and b.) the publishing of such cartoons, the list is very small: Libertarians who're mostly conservative, and a few very (very) lonely leftists.
When Obama states that his preferred future belongs to people who never talk smack about Mohamed or the prophets of other religions, he's turning his back on the principles of The Enlightenment, principles which allowed America and it's Constitution to exist in the first place. He's also turning his back on all the people who want to (f-ing) leave abusive cults like Islam (& Mormonism & other highly abusive religions).

So, it's true that ex-Muslims / atheists who pop up, rather naturally these days, within Islamic theocracies are little gems who should be valued & protected. They exist & live within countries which are essentially meat grinders, grinding against all opposition to the status quo.
Here's a special vid of an atheist visiting Mecca:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ5x0vAEaCw
I'm sure that Obama would be upset by such a vid, as per his past comments about the supposed strong need to never offend a devout cult member.
Before 9/11 I had mostly zero idea what Islam was about. After 9/11 I woke up & realized that people in Islamic countries sometimes find their lives to be so shitty that they lash out in unhinged ways - misdirected anger. The 9/11 attacks were performed by men who were angry - but they should have been angry at their religion rather than at 3000+ innocent people in those towers.
The Enlightenment human tradition is a unique one, and one that should be valued. Freedom of speech. Freedom of thought. Freedom of religion. Freedom from religion. Freedom of commerce (mostly). Governmental transparency (hopeful). Freedom for science to progress. Freedom for science to question traditional religious dogmas & doctrines regarding literalist interpretations of a god. When leftists like Glenn Greenwald and Noam Chomsky (& many other 'regressive' leftists) blame America first for all that is wrong with the Middle East, they're also turning their backs on the Enlightenment tradition which allows them to speak & exist in the first place.
Mr. Greenwald is gay for example. If he lived in an Islamic theocracy he'd be suppressed at the very least or killed at worst.
The cold war abuses of America are not responsible for every single thing that ails the world. Religious theocracy, that of a specific religion, is largely to blame. And yes, it's a religion - that is Islam is a religion.
Before 9/11 I sat in my little ex-Mormon chamber and just thought about ex-Mormon things. I knew Joseph Smith was a charismatic charlatan. I know Brigham Young was an abusive authoritarian theocratic bozo. I relished the works of people like Monty Python with their general criticism of Christianity (eg: Life of Brian), and of Mormon specific humorist organizers like Steve Clark (operator of Latter-Day Lampoon now renamed The Salamander Society).
Consider what Muslim versions of the following works of art would look like?
Life of Brian:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python's_Life_of_Brian
Latter-Day Lampoon (aka Salamander Society):
http://salamandersociety.com/
Would Obama approve?
How about your average MSNBC & CBC & BBC presenter?
So I was raised in an itty-bitty religion which has as it's key tenant a required cult of personality revolving around this guy named Joseph Smith. Then when I got older I wised up & left that religion.
That whole experience provided greater insight into the entirely of the situation with Islam, it's followers, and those who want to leave it and be free of it.

Maajid Nawaz:

Tawfik Hamid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxfo11A7XuA
Maajid is considered an 'Uncle Tom' by hijab-loving Muslims though. And Tawfik is a former hard line Muslim w/key info re how Sunni flavor Islam prompts young men within it to consider getting virgins in paradise via suicide as a viable option for sexual expression (check the vid linked to above).
Charlie Hebdo was mostly killed off, and it's remaining members have given up publishing drawings of the prophet of Islam. So Obama's preferred future has been fulfilled re Hebdo. Hebdo was and is an ultra-leftist publication, but one which was 'very lonely' on the left - lonely like Bill Maher is, and lonely like Sam Harris is, and like Salman Rushdie is. Lonely leftists who could never get a Mohamed cartoon published in any mainline leftie publication if they tried.
In any case, I was raised an American Democrat. Now I'm a general middle of the roader. A moderate Republican/Libertarian, or a very very blue dog Democrat. But as per the response of the left to Hebdo (the murder of the artists) & Garland (Garland, Texas cartoon contest attempted to be shot up by Islamic adherents) though I'm a bit loath to refer myself as a Democrat at all. The response of the left to those events shows that the left, as it stands today, as nothing to offer people who want to a.) leave Islam, or b.) criticize Islam exactly the same way we've been criticizing Christianity for hundreds of years.
Also America isn't a full democracy. It's a republic. A representative democracy. There republicanism helps to quell craziness & chaos & stupidity which can come from 'full democracy.'
When 'democracy' came to the Islamic middle east, the secularists were mostly drowned out by the thoecrats (so far).
Where in an Islamic 'democracy' is one free to draw Mohamed? Nowhere? Then the principles of the Enlightenment are not being fully engaged. Freedom of speech. Freedom of though. Freedom of religion. Freedom from religion. Freedom for science to examine & critique literalist religious claims which touch upon the physical world. And so on.
There's slight bright spots here & there. Example:
http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/12/30/egypt-president-calls-for-islamic-reform-again-in-muhammad-birthday-speech/
http://www.clarionproject.org/videos/egypts-president-el-sisi-calls-islamic-reformation
But in which Islamic country can one be an atheist openly? Criticize Mohamed? Draw Mohamed? Lampoon Mohamed - EXACTLY the way Monty Python did regarding Anglican Christianity? Nowhere yet.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2530920/You-parody-Islam-says-Palin-Monty-Python-star-believes-religious-sensitivities-increased-impossible-make-Life-Brian-today.html
But some ex-Muslims (and friends) somewhere shall do this someday soon I hope (parody Islam in total Life of Brian style & more).
