944 – Religion is culture—religion is politics

Comments Off

Dec 242025

“Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.”

With that statement, Mahatma Ghandi spoke to the reality that, effectively, religion ‘is’ politics.

The ‘religious forces’ behind much of the world’s social conditions – whether during times of peace or times of conflict – essentially frame the philosophy of a given culture, which in turn determines its zeitgeist of the time.

At a time of year when various religious celebrations are taking place, it cannot be ignored that in this season of peace on earth and good will towards men, Earth continues to be embroiled in conflict and war.

And as with political ideologies, religious beliefs can be identified in terms of a Left and Right polarity. In this context, the fundamental distinction concerns the contrast between a ‘culture of life’ on the Right (i.e., Christianity, Judaism) and the ‘death culture’ of the Left (i.e., Islam).

While religion clearly functions as a uniting force among its own adherents, it has also been a major divisive force whenever competing religions come into direct conflict. Whether in religion or politics, the values of Left and Right are incompatible and cannot co-exist.

Thus the path to a world in which there can be ‘peace on earth and good will towards men’ first requires an awareness of the polarized nature and relationship between culture, religion, and politics that is Just Right.

943 – Intrinsically subjective—objectively speaking

Comments Off

Dec 172025

“The belief that truth is purely subjective is a far greater threat than any other because that will strike at the core of our reasoning, and ultimately to our ability to choose between right and wrong,” asserted American politician and social media influencer Nick Freitas to a crowd of young Republicans at the University of California, Berkeley earlier this month. “I have never bought in to this truly ridiculous notion that truth is subjective.”

Subjectivism is the belief that reality is not a firm absolute, but something which can be altered by the consciousness of the perceiver. Objectivity is the only way to determine what is true, Freitas rightly argued. And on this point fellow Christians Matt Walsh and Tucker Carlson likewise asserted that objective truth exists and that we must agree that there ‘is’ a truth.

Unfortunately, when many Christians on the Right correctly assert that Truth can only be determined objectively, their definition of ‘objective’ is far from being so. Continue reading »

942 – Color blinded—to racism’s color blind antidote

Comments Off

Dec 102025

“Our country is at a tipping point,” recently warned U.S. president Donald Trump. “I don’t know if people mind me saying that, but we could go one way or the other – and we’re going to be going the wrong way if we keep taking garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage; her friends are garbage. They don’t go ‘let’s make this place great,’ they are people who do nothing but complain.”

One cannot help but notice how America’s immigration crisis is being debated and discussed in an increasingly aggressive and hostile manner, from America’s president right down to the average man on the street. Trump’s reference to an America flooded with ‘garbage’ people metaphorically reflects the reality of literal rivers of garbage associated with cultures whose people not only do not clean up their garbage, but live in it.

By equating criticism of other cultures with racism, the Left has effectively distracted everyone from the fact that ‘cultures’ are a product of human beliefs, actions and choices, whereas ‘race’ pertains to skin color and other physical characteristics not open to any moral or intellectual considerations. Most importantly, the Left has turned the racial divide into a false polarity, with people of white skin color on one side, and everyone else on the other. Continue reading »

941 – Democratic dilemma: Is democracy just a fiction?

Comments Off

Dec 032025

Democracy: Consent of the governed? Or government by consensus?

What most fail to realize is that these two views are incompatible. That’s because the principle of ‘consent’ rests on individual rights, while the principle of ‘consensus’ allows for the violation of individual rights.

These two very different concepts of ‘democracy’ have long been in conflict, resulting in a social condition that no longer seems ‘democratic.’ Consequently, many no longer feel that their governments represent them and they are actually questioning whether or not what most see as ‘democracy’ is a just a fiction.

One can argue that America is a constitutional republic and not a democracy, but this does not address the reality that it currently operates as neither, given its assumed mandate of protecting life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Many voices on the Right have gone into a panic mode trying to resolve the nation’s democratic dilemma by offering many valid observations and insights into the symptoms of the problem. Unfortunately, they have offered few viable solutions to a cure, owing to a fundamental misunderstanding of what has assumed to be ‘democracy’.

Democracy, like government itself, should be limited in terms of elections and voting; voting should never be allowed to violate or infringe on the individual rights of others – and thereby also on their ability to consent.

Under the principle of ‘majority rule,’ no such limits exist. That’s why understanding democracy in a way that is Just Right first requires abandoning the foolish notion of ‘majority rule’ as a justification for the violation of individual rights.

940 – Right wingers—from fragmentation to stagnation

Comments Off

Nov 262025

It’s bad enough when those on the Right publicly exhibit internal ideological conflicts; it’s even worse when those conflicts become personal.

For example, says Ben Shapiro: “The fragmentation of the political right is caused purposely by a splinter faction led by Nick Fuentes. They’re white supremacists; they hate women, Jews, Christians, brown people, blacks, America’s foreign policy and constitution, and they admire Hitler and Stalin,” and “Tucker Carlson is an intellectual coward, a dishonest interlocutor, and a terrible friend.”

Says Mark Levin: “Tucker is a racist so, no, I don’t debate the Klan and I don’t debate Nazis.”

Says Tucker Carlson: “Mark Levin is full of hate. (He supports) killing kids because you don’t like their parents. He is describing blood guilt.”

You get the general idea – not exactly inspiring displays of reasoned debate or clearly defined principles. And these are but a few examples.

The concern has been raised as to whether or not the various conflicts between recognized voices of the ‘Right’ will cause a fragmentation on the Right serious enough to compromise the MAGA movement and its resistance to the Left.

Whether or not these conflicts will evolve from a minor right wing fragmentation to another major right wing stagnation is something impossible to predict.

But to suggest that these disagreements are being aired and debated in a way that is Just Right depends on whether one takes them seriously or just as comedic entertainment.

939 – Socialism—not very social

Comments Off

Nov 192025

Thanks to the recent election of Zohran Mamdani as the City of New York’s ‘socialist’ mayor, there have been increasing alarms warning of a rise in ‘socialism’s popularity’ among a majority of America’s young people. However, this may be an overstatement.

While it is fair to say that there has been a rise in the number of socialist politicians getting elected, to attribute these electoral wins to any love of socialism is simply misguided. Why? Because the average ‘socialist voter’ has no concept of socialism, either in terms of its definition or in terms of its horrific history. They are voting ‘against’ something, not for it.

Socialism, as an understandable or relatable concept, has little or no relevance to most voters’ daily concerns and lives. To them, socialism is just some nebulous label that politicians use to belittle one another (even though they may all behave the same and pursue the same socialist policies).

In practice, socialism is the political application of the philosophy of egalitarianism. Socialist ‘equality’ does not mean ‘equality before and under the law’ – it means equity: the ‘equality’ of results. It means that those who work hard, take risks, and produce the goods, services, and products upon which a society’s survival depends, must be punished to the degree of their success, while those who do not fit into the productive class (for whatever reason) are to be rewarded by sharing in the products they had no part in creating.

938 – The great escape—from Canada | Mark Vandermaas

Comments Off

Nov 122025

“I’ve gone from being a patriotic Canadian to the point where I wouldn’t risk a hangnail for Canada,” laments our guest Mark Vandermaas. “Canada’s done. There is no political solution; there is no legal solution.”

A retired member of the Canadian armed forces, Mark’s experience as a Canadian activist included his being arrested for carrying a Canadian flag in public. This was perhaps an event symbolic of his ultimate decision to escape the tyranny in Canada and thus be able to say: “We love our life in Ecuador.”

In sharing his story of how he came to ultimately choose Ecuador as his destination, Mark’s narrative of events describing Canada’s descent into tyranny serve as a chilling reminder of just “how fast a supposedly civilized society can go off the rails.”

Referring to the Canada of today as a “grotesquely racist country,” whose national pass time has become “hating people,” Mark is convinced that Canada is not “fixable” and is doomed to collapse as a nation. Continue reading »
