Kennedy quote Too commonsensical to be susceptible to being apprehended by any whose perception of reality has been beclouded by Statist ideology. 4 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 4/25/17 re: Thomas Jefferson quote As Thomas Paine expressed it:" Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of paradise." 4 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 4/11/17 re: Michael Ellner quote Knowledge, in the absence of the ennobling, tempering, influence of understanding, is a concomitant of power - corruptive by its very nature.Seats of temporal power, compensatory entities that they are, are essentially parasitic in character, subsisting, as they do, on the mouldering substance of deposed Sovereign Individuals. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 4/11/17 re: Franklin D. Roosevelt quote Morality makes the defining difference.The education of a sociopath yields a well educated, thus a more nearly redoubtable than he or she otherwise would be, sociopath.The essential difference such as exists between the cultivation of the Virtue of an unfolding character and the impartation of knowledge to an evolving ego. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 4/10/17 re: Ellwood P. Cubberley quote Temporal hierarchies, whatever their character or functions are, are loveless, thus inhumane, by their very nature. May we all be delivered from the infernal influence of soulless, mechanistically minded and ideology bound "educator" -hierarchs, to whom human beings are simply commodities. 4 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 4/10/17 re: e. e. cummings quote What an unholy premium it is that is placed on conformity.The volume of the utter wastage of human potential that occurs on the altar of it is incalculable. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 4/3/17 re: James Madison quote The classless contemporary American "journalistic" class, which is constituted, primarily, of beings who want, utterly, for probity, integrity, credibility, moral authority and gravity, exists to be a clear and present danger to the continuation of the frayed and further fraying American Republic. Were it not for the stalwarts of our indigenous rendering of the Soviet Era samizdat, the nation's journalistic landscape would be the most barren of wastelands. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 4/3/17 re: James A. Garfield quote Popular education that has been decoupled from illumined moral instruction is, in itself, a woefully inadequate foundation of freedom and justice.Prerequisite to the presence of actual freedom and justice are an understanding of and solemn regard for rooted in Reality morality.In the absence of the tempering influence of morality, freedom devolves apace to become licentiousness and justice becomes unrealizable. 3 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 4/3/17 re: Benjamin Disraeli quote As the estimable Mr. Jefferson so trenchantly expressed it:" If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." 1 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/21/17 re: W. H. Auden quote The solemn calling of any parent is to be a gracious facilitator of his or her child's development of adversity conquering Sovereign Character.Everything else is incidental. 4 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/21/17 re: Carl Rogers quote The implications of therapy for significant learning?The most sublime objective of education, as it is in its most sublime rendering, is to liberate an individual from his or her becoming susceptible to his or her requiring "therapy". 4 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/21/17 re: Bruno Bettelheim quote Once upon a time in America, in a day not so very long ago, almost everyone understood the beauty, the simplicity and the fidelity to Reality of the affirmation of Heraclitus that character is destiny. 4 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/20/17 re: Thomas Sowell quote What can be said of beings who are so benighted as to regard themselves as being irreproachable portrayersof something such as they characteristically deny exists - objective reality.Esteeming themselves to be wise, they have become utter fools.Their hubris is boundless. 3 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/20/17 re: Sir Arthur Eddington quote If only the fidelity to Reality of the powers of observation of human beings could reliably be relied upon, in every sphere. 3 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/20/17 re: Charlton Heston quote Practitioners of political correctness are totalitarians, by definition.Totalitarians are, in their unbounded absolutism, uncivilized, thus without right manners. 1 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/16/17 re: Jim Bishop quote A good writer of history is one whose objectivity liberates him from prejudice. 4 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/16/17 re: John Adams quote Ultimately, life and freedom reside in right discernment, that which is underlied by true understanding.Knowledge, uninformed by understanding, is insufficient, in itself. 3 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/16/17 re: Ralph Waldo Emerson quote The masterwork of our masterful Founders is the greatest temporal engine of human progress that the world has ever known.Something such as ought to be self evident, to everyone. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/15/17 re: H. L. Mencken quote A certain measure of the greatness of any people is the measure of the faculty that they possess to faithfully discern the character of the characters of those whom they designate to minimally govern them. 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/15/17 re: Carl Friedrich Gauss quote Singularity of focus has its limitations.Advisable and advantageous it is for anindividual to detach and develop a panoramic perspective.An amplitude of discoveries follows, necessarily. 1 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/15/17 re: David Sarnoff quote Science, not tempered by the ennobling presence of an understanding of mattersthat transcend its natural constraints, cannot be free. 3 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/10/17 re: Patrick Henry quote The sound of courage and of right convictions.The nobility of his spirit and intentions resounds through the generations.An American Colossus. 8 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/8/17 re: Mike Adams quote Pride conceals a multitude of sins.The pride and attendant hubris of the commonly Lightless luminaries of the contemporary technocratic class, governmental and corporate, is boundless.Steeped, as they are, in their psychotically idealized notions of themselves, of their virtuosity and moral superiority, they have become perfect personifications of that such as they purport to oppose.Having been besotted by power and wealth, in the absolute absence of the tempering influence of humility, they exist in fundamental states of denial of their having become as hateful and controlling as they have become.Only in the nominal sense are they not authoritarians or totalitarians.Fascism or Communism, anyone? 2 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/7/17 re: Oswald Spengler quote How many are so principled as to not be interested, primarily, in money?Lamentably, it is not love but money that makes this world, in its fallenness, go round. 1 Reply Patrick Henry, Red Hill 3/6/17 re: Robert Nozick quote Practical experience has revealed that the process of the perfecting of socialism is a process of the perfecting of the denial of the singularity of the dignity, the sanctity, of the individuality of the individual.Subjectivity to and dependency on the State does not a dignified individual make.
