Cornerstones

Conservative icon William Buckley died at 82 while working on a new book in Stamford CN. Buckley who is the host for Firing Line and was the founder for the conservative benchmark National Review is regarding and reviled as the father of modern conservatism.  In spite of a prodigious output, Buckley's voice on the conditions in the United States since 1987 are missing. He has been silenced by irrational militants of the LGBT who have also damaged even the new leadership of liberalism as Barack Obama. The rudderless ship continues on a bureaucratic pilot as individuals as Rudi Giuliani and John McCain attempt to redefine Republicanism in contemporary dress. With the Christian Right still present but not as effective, it will remains to be seen if any print writer will emerge to lead in the wake of talk radio which is more popular and current event based for the right wing.

Many of us have a basic background in philosophy or some manner of a moral or faith system. Western political philosophy is formed by two texts in degree; The Bible and Plato's Republic. Here we can can see the question raised What is Justice in the Individual and What is Justice in the State? Thrasymachus is a paid sophist. We can extend with accuracy the current philosophy of humanrights abuse from his answers.   David Nollmeyer   Plato's The Republic  Thrasymachus says, "I declare justice is nothing but the advantage of the stronger" Republic 338c [W.H.D. Rouse translation, Great Dialogues of Plato, Mentor Books, 1956, p.137. The following two citations are Rouse's translation also]. Robbery and violence are normally called "injustice," but when they are practiced wholesale by rulers, they are justice, i.e. the interest of the stronger, the rulers. Thus, when we consider ordinary citizens, "the just man comes off worse than an unjust man everywhe...

The Hoax of the Presidency Currently the 2008 Presidential Primaries are culling prospects heading into Super Tuesday February 5. No candidate can claim any moral, historical, or legal legitimacy in ending abuses here in the United States. Barack Obama attempts to posit himself as the candidate of change without recognizing abuses that will cost him in the future. Similarly John McCain attempts to posit himself as the Homeland Security candidate. Hillary Clinton is attempting to protect her husband Bill Clinton. Mitt Romney has to appeal to fiscal conservatives and evangelicals.  An interesting focus here with Mike Huckabee is the damage to Christianity in the United States and western world.  The average person will have to reconcile with oneself and authorities as to why nothing has been done to end the damages. A sycophant culture will not endure as it attempts to prop up criminals and re-create itself. The power of the media and talk radio are challenging the participatio...

  The demise of the Tyrant Hussein with three accomplices makes me reflect on the nativistic and socialization that formed them and their culture. The following is from the file I use when I work on the Irrationalist Presidents site. DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE PSYCHOPATH Psychopaths cannot be understood in terms of antisocial rearing or development. They are simply morally depraved individuals who represent the "monsters" in our society. They are unstoppable and untreatable predators whose violence is planned, purposeful and emotionless. The violence continues until it reaches a plateau at age 50 or so, then tapers off. Their emotionlessness reflects a detached, fearless, and possibly dissociated state, revealing a lower autonomic nervous system and lack of anxiety. It's difficult to say what motivates them - control and dominance possibly - since their life history will usually show no bonds with others nor much rhyme to their reason (other than the planning of violence). ...

  Gerald Ford was the 38th President of the United States. He was nominated as Vice-President by then President Richard Nixon. Within hours Richard Nixon resigned. No one wishes to see another die. Herein history can witness the role that Gerald Ford has played. He covered the downfall of the benefactor that placed him at the height of stature. He has re-affirmed his decision to pardon Richard Nixon so the country can move forward. It is said that Gerald Ford did not agree with President Bush’s Iraq Policy. It is clear that Gerald Ford has a public opinion of events that shape us all. I am writing from Blythe California east on I-10 of Palm Springs/Rancho Mirage. I have spent the early part of the year near the Salton Sea. Gerald Ford again demonstrates that his role is cover the mistakes of the United States. He has died with no position of the systematic abuse as scorched earth. It is unique to note that June 17, is the date that Watergate broke open. Ford was appointed Vice-Pres...

  Jagannath Temple Priests to Purify Temple following Dalit Worship BY: STAFF CORRESPONDENT Dec 16, KENDRAPADA, ORISSA (HPI) — Following the court ruling declaring their rights to enter the Jagannath temple regardless of the upper caste ban, Dalits on Thursday, with police protection, entered the temple in Keradagarh village and worshipped. A day after the 200 Dalits worshipped, the Jagannath temple's priests said they would perform purification rituals before the temple reopened. The temple's chief priest, Madan Mohan Panda said, "We stopped all the rituals that have been regularly performed since decades after they (Dalits) entered the temple on Thursday. The Dalits have besmirched the religious traditions and made impure the temple. Now as per practice, we need to perform Maha Snana, a bath ritual of the deity. We have already contacted the local royal family members, as the temple was built in the 18th century by their predecessors, to seek their permission to perform ...

  The death of former UN Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick brings to closure the fate of another member of President Ronald Reagan’s administration. Kirkpatrick has been accoladed by many figures as George Shulzt and Condoleezza Rice. She was known for being clear minded and straightforward. I remember some of her commentaries to reflect a very logical style of presentation. A liberal Democrat at first she changed parties championing human rights and democracy. She is considered to be a forbearer of the neo-conservative movement. Historically she helped cut off aid to Nicaragua and supported a military junta in El Salvador. She also made distinction between authoritarian regimes and totalitarianism. She stated a preference for the former of which I concur. Never the less Jeane Kirkpatrick exits this world as another ambiguous statement to the abuse of SCORCHED EARTH that her mentor Ronald Reagan initiated. Her praise by the choir sits well only in certain churches. Her true role in TOTA...
