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. 1 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/30/17 re: George Sutherland quote It is by their own cravenness that the generally characterless constituents of the classless contemporary American pseudojournalistic/cryptopropagandistic class are most constrained. 3 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/28/17 re: Carl Friedrich Bahrdt quote Freedom of expression, a right conferred by the Creator, is the sine qua non of human existence. 3 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/28/17 re: Junius quote 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. 3 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/28/17 re: Philip Dormer Stanhope quote 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. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/27/17 re: Thomas Sowell quote 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 1 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/27/17 re: William Tecumseh Sherman quote If only journalists were so objective, characteristically, as to be worthy of being relied upon to render reality in the light of Reality. 1 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/27/17 re: Oscar Wilde quote Our Fifth Column news media can entirely reliably be relied upon to be reliably unreliable. 1 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/24/17 re: H. L. Mencken quote 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. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/24/17 re: L. A. Powe, Jr. quote A self evident actuality that actually was self evident, for generations, to a plurality of this nation's once respectably well illumined citizenry. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/24/17 re: Thomas Henry Huxley quote The antithesis of the perfectly inverted order that prevails in this benighted day. 3 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/17/17 re: Adolf Hitler quote 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. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/17/17 re: Harry Browne quote In the absence of rooted in right conviction moral authority, pragmatism ruinously prevails.In this morally impoverished day, statesmanship is virtually unknown. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/17/17 re: Ayn Rand quote As John Bunyan, in his "Pilgrim's Progress", expresses it:"The road to Hell is paved with "good" intentions." 4 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/15/17 re: Joseph Pulitzer quote 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. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/15/17 re: Thomas Sowell quote 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. 4 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/15/17 re: George Washington quote 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. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/14/17 re: Justice Hugo L. Black quote 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." 1 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/14/17 re: Hugo L. Black quote In a society shorn of its civility, Virtuous freedom of expression is an impossibility, essentially. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/14/17 re: James Madison quote 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. 1 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/13/17 re: Justice William O. Douglas quote It is also true, as Justice Robert Jackson expressed it, that the Constitution is not a suicide pact... 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/13/17 re: Percy Bysshe Shelley quote 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. 3 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 11/10/17 re: Gotthold Ephraim Lessing quote We realize our humanity in the midst of our humbly realizing our individuality.
