U.S. Attorney General to Americans: Stop Criticizing Islam–or Else

…, to know what constitutes a “bigoted action” and what does not? Should we simply shut up, and not say anything critical about Islam, at all? Lynch leaves that as an open question. Lynch, who is the Attorney General of the United States, is advancing the idea that not merely actions, but thoughts, ideas and feelings can and must be against the law, and are worthy of prosecution. She’s not consistent, of course. Muslims who say hateful things again… Continue reading

Freedom To Have Sex, But Not to Think

…o Conly, involve no thought or reasoning. It’s an interesting self-revelation, isn’t it? Not just about the author, but by the kind of self-refuting twits a plurality of us keep consenting to rule over us.

Democrats Are the Party of Fatalism

…ee will. If your gender, race or class of birth doom you to a certain point-of-view and set of actions, then what’s the point of liberty? We fight over politics only the extent to which we differ on more basic, philosophical and psychological questions of life. One of these issues: Either man has free will, or he doesn’t. The welfare state was based on the idea that we all need a little help so we can better exercise free choice. It wasn’t true or… Continue reading

You Can’t Love But Not Respect

Q: Dr. Hurd, I’m in high school. A friend of mine at school keeps complaining that his parents treat him harsher than they treat his older brother. It’s not that they’re abusive or anything. However, they seem to hold him to a higher standard. His brother gets C’s and they don’t say anything. My friend gets mostly A’s and the occasional B; and they jump on him, even restricting him, for that one B. It’s not just grades, but everything. To my frie… Continue reading

Objective facts and self-esteem are the enemies of gossip

…onscious of it, I can tell you from my own observations that the motive is simply to feel superior for its own sake. Sadly, it’s a hollow sense of superiority built not upon one’s own accomplishments, but on others’ (perceived or made up) imperfections. What a waste! People who take their own lives seriously don’t need to retreat into chatter about others with little or no regard for the facts. This is one reason why, when I counsel insecure peopl… Continue reading
