The cardinal, indispensible, character attribute of anyone who is even remotely worthy of being characterized as being a qualified teacher is humility.

Accordingly, in its most sublime rendering, teaching is a ministerial calling.

Anyone for whom teaching is an actual calling understands, necessarily, that true education entails neither indoctrination nor merely the crude communication of knowledge but the humble cultivation of the individuality, character and native faculty for learning of each individual.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

Ultimately, the inestimable right of freedom of expression can be rightly valued only by those to whom the unrelenting pursuit of the Truth is a Holy Grail.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

Intention makes the defining difference.

In the Garden, Beelzebub, the archetype of temporal educators, had knowledge to impart. Knowledge such as was intended not to liberate but to indoctrinate and subjugate. In the absence of the ennobling presence of Virtue and the constraining influence of Morality, education readily and commonly assumes manifold malign forms.
As in the Soviet Union and the PRC.
As in the ideology suffused contemporary American Academy.
Objectively, the most sublime purpose of education is the cultivation of character and a concomitant, humility centered, spirit of inquiry.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

It is by their own cravenness that the generally characterless constituents of the classless contemporary American pseudojournalistic/cryptopropagandistic class are most constrained.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

Freedom of expression, a right conferred by the Creator, is the sine qua non of human existence.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

In the absence of Virtue and its necessary concomitants, moral authority and courage, freedom of the press assumes the licentious forms with which we are so familiar today.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

We rightly understand the world not by steeping ourselves in the knowledge of it but by maintaining ourselves in a state of objective observation of it.

Wholesome detachment is the key.

The native faculty for learning that is exhibited, particularly, by children who have not been spiritually, mentally and emotionally compromised is rooted in their ability to objectively observe it.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

Discernment makes the defining difference.

In this darkening day, there is in evidence a desperate dearth of rooted in right discernment Vision.

As it is written:

"Where there is no vision, the people perish."

~ Proverbs 29:18

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

If only journalists were so objective, characteristically, as to be worthy of being relied upon to render reality in the light of Reality.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

Our Fifth Column news media can entirely reliably be relied upon to be reliably unreliable.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

Any idea that is not rooted in Reality, which is Truth, is foredoomed to be revealed to be false, the idiotic best efforts of deluded Fallen Man to the contrary.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

A self evident actuality that actually was self evident, for generations, to a plurality of this nation's once respectably well illumined citizenry.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

The antithesis of the perfectly inverted order that prevails in this benighted day.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

The profundity of the states of hypnosis in which many exist is virtually depthless.

Commonly, the power to control is predicated upon the ability to mesmerize.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

In the absence of rooted in right conviction moral authority, pragmatism ruinously prevails.

In this morally impoverished day, statesmanship is virtually unknown.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

As John Bunyan, in his "Pilgrim's Progress", expresses it:

"The road to Hell is paved with "good" intentions."

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

The crypto-propagandists of the Fifth Column that is the contemporary American Fourth Estate want more nearly desperately for probity, moral authority, integrity, gravity and credibility than did their never other than under State duress Soviet era Pravda and Izvestia counterparts.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

Ego trips by coteries of self-exalting people are treated as idealism by coteries of self exalting petty tyrants of the media to whom earnest idealism is utterly alien.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

A perfect portrayal of the malignity of party spirit.

Authored by his own hand, a remarkable reflection of the genius of the American Colossus who was George Washington.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

The most ardent adversaries of our Republic, retrogressive "progressives" all, who characteristically cloak themselves in the mantles of civil libertarians, have been relentlessly endeavoring, seemingly for endless decades, to transform our precious beyond calculation Constitution into, as Justice Robert Jackson expressed it, a "suicide pact."

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

In a society shorn of its civility, Virtuous freedom of expression is an impossibility, essentially.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

The American Ideal, rooted not in ideology but in Virtue informed Understanding.

As the ennobling influence of Virtue wanes, oppression waxes.

The frailty of the tissue of illusion belief systems of sanctimonious ideological posturers renders them ultimately intolerant of all freedom of expression, other than their own.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

It is also true, as Justice Robert Jackson expressed it, that the Constitution is not a suicide pact...

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

It is an essential truth that if there were no transcendent Truth, neither Man nor the natural realm of which he is the most consequential, more than simply natural, component would exist.

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

We realize our humanity in the midst of our humbly realizing our individuality.
