So Bob,

Have you noticed an increase in wordism among the people? or a rise in loyalty to institutions instead of what the institutions are supposed to do? or a loyalty to institutions as a distraction from the one issue of the age: race?

I some of my relatives claim loyalty to Jesus while turning a blind eye to the genocide our race faces — as if Jesus would approve of genocide. These people would say following Christ leads them to believe that thieves should be behind bars. But the far bigger problem of race has them running away in fear.

I think this means that their faith is weak. They think that there is nothing good they can do, so they do nothing good. They forget that Jesus came into our history to make things right, now. They know that Jesus commanded them to do good and to resist evil, but they somehow think this does not apply to the big issues.

But the big issue — race — is far more important than stopping thieves.

"These people would say following Christ leads them to believe that thieves should be behind bars. But the far bigger problem of race has them running away in fear."

Peter, you hit your second homer, and this is critical to me. You are reflecting the WAY OF THINKING that I have to give you. This is such a basic way of looking at things:

"But the far bigger problem of race has them running away in fear."

That no one would see it in a hundred years. We end up arguing with anti-white religionists, but we always recognize them as representing religion because on the lesser issues they are obsessive and they wear those collars.

But, as C.S. Lewis said in "Screwtape Proposes a Toast" the best way to take a soul to Hell is a way with no turnings, no big decisions. The road to Heaven, to quote another source, is strait and narrow. The road to Hell down which these religionists are marching is wide and easy. Those 1940s bishops who started pushing interracial marriage knew very well what they were doing to future generations. But since they were preaching all the other good stuff, and they couldn't be bishops unless they went along with it, they had no decision to make. The other people wearing miters were in the lead, so the road must lead where they should go.

So when Peter points out "Christians" cannot apply one of the grand total of two commandments Jesus gave them to the most important issue, they are NOT sincere Christians. They just believe, and I am NOT joking here, they just believe that God won't NOTICE.

This is the WAY OF THINKING I am desperately trying to inculcate here. I am ridiculously delighted when someone states it this way and avoids the comments on today's headlines.

SNOWBALLS AND BULLFIGHTS | 2005-01-23

As I peruse the web and listen to news stories, it is obvious that more and more people are becoming aware that things are not all kosher at State U. There are several groups out there who represent students who fall victim to professorial bullying on campuses all across the country.

Political Correctness, like any form of hate-driven insanity, will always snowball. The reason for that is very simple. It is the opposite form of what George H. W. Bush called Reagan's "Voodoo Economics." In Reagan's plan, the more people could be freed up from taxes and regulation to create wealth, the more opportunity would be provided for others to follow them into a cycle of productivity. As he often said, "A rising tide lifts all boats."

As in anything, the most gifted, strong, and dedicated will lead the way. As they break the ice, those less gifted, strong, and dedicated can then push through.

The same principle works in regard to the destructiveness of the left in their vampirism. You get the strongest and most obnoxious ones demanding radical changes that are shocking to the majority. As people give in, that breaks the ice so that the less bold parasites can join in the looting. Just as a healthy body can fight off disease, one that becomes weakened by it falls victim to a host of problems.

Once the train is rolling, it is too hard to stop. That is a blessing, as it means that the system will have to crash. The leaders of the pack may realize this, and want to back off the throttle, but the followers who are less intelligent as well as less gifted don't see the big picture. It is their time, and there is no way in hell anyone is going to stop them. They will push things past the breaking point.

A matador in a bullfight is trained to let the bull defeat himself. When a bull sees red, he can't control himself. When a Red sees power within his grasp, he can't control himself.

Why Johnny Can't Think is a training manual for matadors.

"giving money back to the taxpayers."

Since the money would be going back into the Congressional budget, isn't this statement an outright lie? If so, why wasn't it exposed?

Comment by Al Parker —

OBSERVATION

Get on earth with the rest of us, Al. "Giving the money back" was a mainstay of the respectable right and it gave liberals money to work with.

Who, exactly, do you think was going to EXPOSE it?

Most people STILL have no idea it is true.

Most people, like Joe, find the explanation boring and the world lost anyway.

If you told them Helsm was lying to them, nobody would believe.

Helms didn't like, but he won every reelection by a raction of a percentage point. If you have voters who are morons, sometimes you just have to TREAT them like morons.

Remember, Jesse Helms was in the Senate for three decades, telling as much truth as he could. But he wouldn't have gotten back to the Senate if he didn't use the old "giving the money back" gimmick.

Ignoramuses are determined to STAY ignorant. Then they bitch about being lied to.

None of this is a situation created in Washington.

FREEZING AT ALCOR AND BUGS | 2010-10-08

My commenters are very good to me. If you ever get tired of all that praise of me, think of it this way: Why would anyone take the trouble to participate in BUGS if he didn't think it was very good. There are, literally, millions of blogs out there.

So when I use a comment as a starting point, I sound like I am criticizing someone who said something good about me. I appreciate the good stuff, I have an ego like anybody else. More important, like every human being, I need encouragement.

Look at what Ben Franklin said about the raw ego it takes to write an autobiography in the Introduction to HIS autobiography.

So one commenter came to my defense in criticizing another for talking about how I should live a long time. I appreciate his coming to my defense, damned few people ever did in my career. But it gives me a chance to talk about his point.

The guy who said I could live long was referring to an article where I mentioned my own death. I do it a lot. So someone who says, "Long may you wave" gets my appreciation, while most people don't want the subject mentioned.

The writer who waved the caution sign about mentioning my death also went on to make dead accurate observations about me, how I am worried to death about not having people to carry on my THINKING. I keep talking about how Doctor Pierce said on his deathbed that no one alive could take his place in the leadership.

After all, he was talking about courtesy to normal people, and no one here confuses me with normal.

I will be frozen when I pass on. Everybody in my family had to agree not to oppose it, they have since agreed to insist on it, but none of them like it. If you know about the Ted Williams case, you can check the web, one daughter suddenly decided to make the papers by opposing his being frozen, and the legal case made his freezing cost ALCOR a mint.

My family always says I don't know what will happen when I am frozen. My thinking is that I know EXACTLY what will happen to THEM if they're NOT frozen.

Actually my being frozen is like BUGS and all the rest of my political life. It's a lottery ticket. I am a hell of a lot surer about sharing my ideas this way than I am about being frozen. In both cases, I am spending a lot of effort and money on faith.

No one really does anything useful on a sure bet. The only people who do that are politicians looking forward to the next election, which is just MORE of a sure shot.

There are million politicians, but what I do is critical PRECISELY because it is a bet on the future.

How could someone like me, who has had so much power from probabilities, NOT decide on freezing?
