How Much Do You Have to Hate Someone Not to Proselytize?

Francis Schaeffer on the Origins of Relativism in the Church

Words to Remember

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Now, There Y'Go!


I approve of Mrs. Palin's choice of reading material. Mr. Levin's book is not perfect, but it is as good an introduction to conservatism proper as we are likely to get in such a short space. I wish everyone interested in the subject would take the time to read it--and I especially wish Republican candidates and office-holders would read it, as I long ago grew convinced that most of them didn't quite "get" the true basis of conservatism.

At any rate, if I see a picture of her with a copy of The Fair Tax Book, or The Great Betrayal, my mind's made up: if she runs, she gets my vote.

    It is very good to see Sarah with Levin's book... I need to pick up a copy of Liberty and Tyranny myself.
