Brad Wardell's views about technology, politics, religion, world affairs, and all sorts of politically incorrect topics.

When I write political blogs, I make it my business to be harsh about the poor and down trodden. If I seem like I don’t have a lot of compassion, that is probably because I don’t have a lot of compassion.

I don’t really like humans in general. I like individuals, however, a lot. Maybe I’m just the end product of the secular agenda. Humans are merely another large mammal that is barely self aware is driven mostly on instincts. Where instincts don’t fill in the gap, most humans are just a bunch of dumb apes that fill in those holes with social conditioning.

Now, in practice, my wife and I care a lot about individual people. Just because 95% of the human population is a waste of resources doesn’t mean the human race is a total loss.  We spend a considerable amount each year helping causes and individuals who have suffered due to no fault of their own.

On the other hand, whenever I meet a liberal who talks about compassion, I find they rarely do anything for others. They feel it’s their tax dollars job to help others – taxes they tend to barely pay.

For years, my observations were just that – observations. Anecdotal. Luckily, the book “Who really cares” provides statistical analysis on this sort of thing and shows that yes, the more liberal and secular you are, the more stingy you are with your own money.

Doesn’t surprise me too much that it’s usually Democrats who seem to have problems paying the taxes they owe.

@Leuki: I am all for places putting on christmas stuff in christmas instead of this "happy holidays" bullcrap. And I am an atheist from a jewish background. This whole "lets offend 90% of the population to not offend 10% of it" thing is crap. Have some god damn pride in your heritage and culture.

Point. In fact I find the "happy holidays" thing offensive. It accomodates for my holidays as if they do not stand alone next to Christmas. "Happy holidays" is a nice thing to SAY to a stranger, but why write it down? It is clear that "Merry Christmas" written somewhere is directed at Christians. Let them have their fun.

while liberals denigrate Christianity (while honoring most all other faiths, which I'll never understand; but oh well, I've stopped trying, anyway)

Many non-Jewish liberals denigrate Judaism as well.

When Christians speak of Judaeo-Christian values, they try to include Jewish culture (even though this is not always wanted by Jews). They clearly try to respect Judaism.

But I have yet to see large protests organised by liberals against the persecution of Jews and Christians in communist or Muslim countries.

jewdaism and christianity are the two most successful religions in human history. Not in terms of converts (where it is just christianity), but in terms of achievements of the individuals of those faiths.

To a sensible person that means that there is something about their values and culture that is superior, and gives them an edge.

To a liberal it means that the something that gives them an edge is that they must be exploiting others and cheating their way to the top, ergo judaism and christianity must be evil. Once you have made up your mind about the results based on nothing but blind faith, finding "evidence" is fairly easy...
