“New Democrat” really means old liberal social engineer
Any time you see the adjective “new” employed, assume that the label is mere smoke and mirrors, calculated to obscure the fact that there is nothing “new” about what is being described. Rather, it is the same old stuff simply repackaged.
Think about it
What was new about the “New Left” of the 1960s? It was simply the old left dressed up in tie-dyed shirts. The “New Age”? It’s nothing more than recycled paganism.
Why, then, did so many believe it when Bill Clinton professed to be a “New Democrat”?
Moreover, why did so many believe there was any such thing as a “New Democrat”? As the days pass, it is becoming increasingly clear that there is nothing new about Bill Clinton’s Democratic Party. During the campaign, Clinton co-opted the traditionally
conservative issues from George Bush.
But since taking office, Clinton is revealing himself to be extremely liberal. Make no mistake. There’s nothing moderate about Clinton’s programs. The New Democrat is the same old social engineer.
Don’t believe the conventional wisdom of our day that claims the Founding Fathers were anything but orthodox, Bible-believing Christians. They were. And they were quite adamant in stating that the Constitution-as brilliant a document as it is-would work
only in the context of a moral society. “Our Constitution was made for moral and religious people,” stated John Adams. George Washington said, “Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable
supports.“ James Madison agreed: ”We have staked the future upon our capacity to sustain ourselves according the Ten Commandments of God.“
The founders knew they were bestowing upon us only an ingenious political system of checks and balances, limited
government, and a legacy of human and civil rights. It would be up to future generations to make it all work. But it would only work, they warned, if the society was girded on a bedrock of solid values and Judeo-Christian principles.
Liberalism poisons the soul and destroys character
A truism I’ve often proclaimed is: “Liberalism poisons the soul.” Originally, it may have sounded harsh to some, trite to others; scintillating to the politically astute. Today, I am convinced it is more on the mark than ever. Here’s what it really means
to me: Modern-day liberalism is like a disease or an addiction that literally has the power to destroy the character of the person who falls under its spell.
Liberalism is seductive and insidious. It can take hold of you before you realize it. Do you
know why? Because it doesn’t take any guts to become a liberal. All you have to do to be a good liberal is to say yes to everything except cutting spending and downsizing government. Just say yes. Government should do more to end homelessness.
It should spend more on education. It should provide day-care. You name it; the omnipotent, central government should do it. All you have to do to prove your compassion is say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. What could be easier?
Establishment clause does not preclude school prayer
I believe:
that strong, wholesome family values are at the very core of a productive, prosperous, and peaceful society
that those values cannot be instilled by government but can indeed be sucked dry and eliminated by well-intentioned but
destructive governmental programs
that there is one God and that this country was established with that fundamental belief
that our morality emanates from our Divine Creator, whose laws are not subject to amendment, modification, or rescission by
man
that the meaning of the establishment clause of the First Amendment should not be stretched beyond its intended dimensions by precluding voluntary prayer in our public schools;that the USA was founded on the beliefs I have just enunciated and that
it is the greatest nation in the history of the world
and that the USA is the greatest nation not because Americans are inherently superior but because its government was founded on principles which seek to allow maximum individual achievement.
