Comments for Subtle, Stylish Treasons at http://www.thecatholicthing.org , comment 1 to 3 out of 3 comments http://www.thecatholicthing.org Sat, 25 May 2013 05:41:10 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/subtle-stylish-treasons.html#comment-329 The left perfectly inverts the concept of all being created equal (in worth) so that in the new (perverse) meaning, all people are created the same. Because they are not equal in "lifestyle" options, it is the duty of a small elite to force equality of outcome using any means available. Worth is assigned from a sliding scale of political values with designated victims getting more paper worth while the elite gets real worth - power, money and opportunity. Unwanted babies have no worth. - Joe Tue, 09 Dec 2008 13:57:21 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2008/subtle-stylish-treasons.html#comment-328 Kudos to Prof. Arkes defense of Lincoln's true place in history. In light of the DiLorenzian crazies who sophmorically dispose of Lincoln as a power grabbing tyrant, this article is fresh and enlightening. Lincoln's deep understanding of the meaning of the Constitution's true purpose (to promote democracy) was the only premise of his agenda. The rest is Rockwellian Conpiracy Theories.

I have often thought that the point at which one side refers to any object as "just a [bundle of cells, thing, etc.]," there are unspoken assumptions and valuations implicitly being made and which the other side is being asked to accept unquestionably. It is the very denial of rational discuss to do so, it seems to me. - Jonathan Watson Tue, 09 Dec 2008 10:40:08 +0100
