The anti-Christian Morality of Ethics

[4est_4est_Gump]

~~~Thanks, 4rest, this pretty much matches my learning curve, but a generation earlier. I am gratified that you, and others, see the sham of leftist Marxism still rampant even today.

I no longer refer to the sources you do, but, as time goes by, try to condense what I learned into terms and concepts others can understand and either appreciate and scream about.

It seems to work...

I did not figure it out fully until Bill Clinton. I had even used his work in my undergrad research on education. Then I started seeing him on TV as he began his run. I realized, "Hey, I KNOW that guy ['s type]!"



He sold me a car and he had to know it was a piece of shit, but he fucked me just the same. And then, via health care, he introduced the world to his hippy-dippy wife and I realized, "Holy Carumba Batman! These are not the Democrats of my grandfather's generation! They're Socialists agitators!"

Then 9-11 happened and I began researching Liberty beginning with "Federalist."

On the way, a wonderful thing happened when Ish introduced me to von Humboldt and I was off to the races...

Why does she pause, think and then come up with an answer like she did?

Maybe because she hadn't really thought through the personals ad thing and so didn't have a full on ad already laid out in her mind? Maybe she had to stop and think, "Well, what would really be a deal breaker that isn't an uncommon trait?"
I'm sure she would have paused if the question had been, "How would you describe yourself in such and ad?"

She could have said anything, farts, cheapness, lack of a sense of humor, etc.,

Unless, of course, maybe, none of those are deal breakers for this fictitious woman.

We have a lot of old threads about deal-breakers in dating. I know that homophobia is not a normal response for a fact based on those types of threads.

Oh? So how many people listed rapist-murderer as a deal breaker?
How many deal breakers were the same from poster to poster?

No, like a politician off the teleprompter, she has trained herself not to speak her mind, but to think about what she is saying in a politically correct framework.



If it you were and me, right off the top of my head I would say, "She cannot be a porker..."



Not a Muslim joke, but to a Liberal, we're talking about, "someone not concerned about their health and the cost they are imposing upon society."

We would say PORKER! but they would say, 'Climate Change Denier..."

Get that?

In 2009, Princeton sociologists Thomas Espenshade and Alexandria Radford demonstrated that poor, white Christians are underrepresented on elite college campuses. Leftists add insult to injury. A blue-collar white kid, who feels lost and friendless on the alien terrain of a university campus, a campus he has to leave immediately after class so he can get to his fulltime job at MacDonald's, must accept that he is a recipient of "white privilege" – if he wants to get good grades in mandatory classes on racism.

Talk about your compartmentalization!

Interesting quote. The first sentence is stated as fact and probably is (aside from the "elite" bullshit, which always rings an alarm), while the rest of the paragraph, which pretends to build upon, and thus derive validity from, that fact, is nothing more than unsupported opinion that twangs at heartstrings for the poor white boy who runs to McD's to scrape by while (presumably) the non-whites and girls get a pass and a free ride.

Oh, by the way, I've attended classes at three major universities and one junior college and not once did I come across, or even hear about, mandatory classes on racism. More BS posing as fact?

I note that amicus got his jollies off over this post of yours. Myself, I find it disingenuous at best.

Did you drink your Bloody Mary this morning like I suggested? You should always listen to me. I'm a professional you know.

Oh sweet, impressionable sigh, how long have you been here?

The quote that the Chief is hiding behind is an interesting bit of wordsmithing.

First of all, the Espenshade study does not account for religious affliation at all...that's completely fabricated by the author of the American Thinker editorial.

The Espenshade study simply tries to quantify exactly who would benefit if affirmative action were to disappear at the most selective private schools (aka "the elite"). The study concludes that Hispanic and African American students would drop from 16.2 percent to 3.4 percent. This would benefit primarily lower-to-middle class whites and Asian-Americans.

83.8% is not enough, you see. Until elite colleges are 96.6% non-black and non-Hispanic, white folks will be "severely under-represented".

sigh, you must have missed the intense white privilege conversation that was going on last month here. These people really believe with all their heart and soul in that notion. When a belief is that tightly held, one wonders where it has to come from, and it comes from the top, the educated class, the liberal professors who set the seeds of culture in motion to be picked up on by the political class and well as the entertainment class who cause it to echo through our society (Hoffer).

And yes, I find myself going to the well all too often to kill time...

Shorter AJ: It's okay for people to have deeply held beliefs, as long as they don't conflict with mine...

Well, better sweet than sour. And better impressionable than intractable. But none of those descriptors has anything to do with my response to AJ. My point was, even if you accept the author's interpretation of the Espenshade study as true, what follows is not. I never bothered to look the study up (and still haven't followed your link to see it for myself) because what follows that opening sentence is an appeal to the readers' feelings, not intellect.

Which explains why amicus was enamored of it, I suppose.
