How can anyone who is uncertain of what is true gauge with confidence what is kind?

Challenge anyone who bears the oxymoronic
designation "progressive" to characterize for you what is kind.

The true brutality resides in dishonesty.

He who is sure of his mind and sound of his morals will not undertake the trade of lying.

Seemingly, the lamentable lot of Fallen Man is to be dishonestly honest and honestly dishonest.

It is lamentably true that there exist comparatively few whose ideation is
actually Sovereign in character.

Among those whose are not so substantial within themselves as to be equipped to be graciously tolerant of any who possess perspectives divergent from their own, a pathologically great premium is placed on conformity.

The realization of our Humanity resides in the perfection of our Sovereign Individuality, not in our identification with the collective.

The Fallenness of Man, and his attendant, almost depthless, spiritual, mental and emotional complexity serve to render
relationships fraught.

Mercifully, Love simplifies everything and, accordingly, covers a multitude of sins.

It was ordained that it be as natural for an individual to respect, actually to love, the Truth as it is for him or her to draw breath.

But then, doing that which ought to naturally be done has become, in this almost limitlessly lightless day, the unnatural thing to do.

Among retrograde "progressives", prolific prevarication is the shortest route to success.

Stretching the Truth is a less than advisable form of exercise.

It is the will of the noblest among us to command well only themselves. 

A Noble Sovereign is at Liberty to subject himself or herself to Virtuous Authority, in service to a Higher Purpose, without relinquishing his or her personal sovereignty.

A what should be, to all, self evident verity. 

Objectively, there exists just one Right Way.
Necessarily, there are as many
paths along the Way as there are individuals who are traversing the Way.

The Truth is unsafe only for those whose power is predicated upon its suppression.

As Tom Paine expressed it:

" Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence: The palaces of kings are built on the bowers of the ruins of paradise."

Humility makes the defining difference.

In the absence of humility, pride, prejudice and legalism prevail, all of which are, inherently, witheringly censorious in their judgements.

As William Penn expressed it:

" They have a Right to censure, who have a Heart to help: The rest is Cruelty, not Justice."

Freedom, at its most sublime, is a state of spirit and mind, a state of being, that far transcends temporal entanglements.

There is freedom, then there is Freedom.

Freedom, perfected under the aegis of Virtue, is discrete from and far transcends religion, the nature of which is revealed in its commonly accepted etymology:

From the Latin religare - to bind fast.

Anything that is bound fast, other than to Virtue and its Author, by definition cannot be Free.

It is a verity that comfort, in the absence of Virtue, is the nemesis of Freedom.

Freedom of thought is the sine qua non of personal Sovereignty and is inextricable from Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

In this instance, Brandeis proved to be particularly prescient.

Lamentably, obfuscation is the way of this Fallen, bound in the cords of legalism, world.

Political Correctness is nothing less than a frontal assault on the dignity of the individuality of the individual, and on his or her sacred, God imparted, guaranteed by the Constitution, right to freedom of expression.

A standard device of totalitarians, it is hardly "communist propaganda writ small".

The nation's statists, who were resoundingly unsuccessful in their efforts to foment an American rendering of the October Revolution during the 1930's, discovered in Franklin Roosevelt a particularly effective effector of the advancement of their collectivist agenda.

Their incrementalist, Gramscian, approach has proven to be a fearsomely efficacious one, as they continue, with Stakhanovite dedication to, as Lenin expressaed it: " Slice the Bologna."

The prerequisite of the perception of Reality is discernment that is not reliant on the dictates of matters of appearance, for appearances, not infrequently, do not faithfully reveal Reality.

The foremost, fearsome, faculty of totalitarians and totalitarians-in-waiting is their facility for identifying and cultivating frailties that radically reside in Fallen Man.

As the illustrious Cicero expressed it:

" ... he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation,he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared."
