Prager University: The Brilliance of the “Dark” Ages Shames Today’s Pagan Ignorance

Another Lesson from Prager University!

At last a breath of fresh air of “truth in knowledge” is reaching our Obama-era American shores to examine the story of western civilization in more accurate and honest form than in the past. Today, life in the West has been profoundly burdened by today’s Marxist-feminist infatuations stirring hate toward our JudeoChristian heritage.

Shockingly this breath of fresh air is rising from our own American shores examining the spectacular glories of the centuries between the fall of Rome in the fifth century and the beginning of the “Age of the Enlightenment” popularly but inaccurately called “the Dark Ages”.

If the era of that nine century period of Western Life has been identified as the “Dark Ages”, what does one call our present day twenty-first century Obama-American authoritarian age of Western Culture with its assault upon truth and liberty and its worship for learnedlessness and love of feminism, Marxism, and a black brand of racism?

If we are living in a drugged-up more animal-behaving and thinking-small time when truth and knowledge of present and past are not only ignored but abused and many cherishing primarily the animal of their being. So…

How Dark Were the Dark Ages?

MN Democrats Force Unionizations to Secure Leftist Dictatorship ad Nauseum

The following article by State Republican Chairman, Keith Downey, was sent by Mark Waldeland:

The Democrats’ repeated attempts to force family child care providers and personal care attendants into unions against their will have succeeded, for now.

Democrats passed laws setting up forced unionization…

After the Swanson case’s ruling stopped Governor Dayton and charged him court fees, undeterred he and the Democrats passed new laws in 2013 allowing child care workers and personal care attendants to become unionized even if they didn’t want to join.

With just 13% of personal care attendants voting for unionization, the government union SEIU has declared victory and can now seek dues from 100% of personal care workers, over 26,000 people!

Assuming $200 annual dues, that is potentially $5 million to government union bosses and eventually Democrat campaigns!

It’s a familiar pattern of corruption…

Government union bosses spend millions of dollars to elect Democrats. Democrats then negotiate government union contracts and help expand their membership. Repeat.

But there is hope…

Did you know that some of the most important cases in the country fighting this type of forced unionization are taking place right here in Minnesota? These cases can stop it all and help set an important national precedent!

The U.S. Supreme Court’s Harris decision and the parallel Parrish decision in Minnesota fought mandatory union dues and the false claim that small business people doing family child care are “public employees.” These cases were important wins, but they did not actually stop unionization of PCAs and FCCs entirely.
Fortunately the Saville and Greene lawsuits are also underway here in Minnesota. In the Saville case, lead plaintiff Hollee Saville and lead attorney Douglas Seaton directly challenge this unionization scheme altogether under long-established federal labor law and can stop the entire process. These cases are both at critical junctures.
We will keep you posted as these cases proceed and let you know how you can help. With Democrats on defense in both public opinion and the courts, please sign the petition below as we work to roll back this egregious overreach!

Why Are Fox TV Stars, O’Reilly and Kelly Bloviating so Self-Righteously about Football Air?

“Football-gate”, I think is the name of the alleged scandal Fox News has trumped up against the New England Patriots on the cusp of America’s most religious event of the year in these days’ of ObamaAmerica, the Super Bowl?

Why does Fox and others active in this professional football world, its press and even advertisers, enjoy piling on one particular team for footballgate?

Why are other NFL coaches so silent about this alleged ‘football gate’?

I’d like to know the lines of attack the footballgate charges against the Patriots in order of occurrence….Who really wound up first ratting publicly on adjusting some miniscule amount of air in a football in order to play the game BETTER, MORE PROFESSIONALLY, AS PROFESSIONALLY AS POSSIBLE, if indeed that is the cause of footballgate?

Head coaches in the National Football League are not equally dumb, I should think! Some are, however, better coaches than others, more rational, better organized, better as teachers, better assistants, and so one. Does anyone aware of things NFL for a moment think that the footballgate Kelly and O’Reilly at Fox are bloviating about suddenly was born in Foxborough, Massachusetts the other day?

Let’s put footballgate into some perspective.

It’s raining in the middle of a NFL football game. A quarterback, it is alleged, is less able to throw a football as accurately in the wetness of the wet day than when throwing the football midst a blazing sun or a cool dry breeze. It is alleged that if one takes a breath of air away from the same football during a rainy-day game, an intelligent quarterback, one who wants to play his best in every game in which he plays, might have a slight advantage in maintaining control of his passes over a quarter back who is too dumb to chance the experiment or simply does not have the ability to do so.

My son and I have had season tickets to local Minnesota Vikings games for nearly twenty years. The Vikings are losers of the perennial type…..So are the New York Jets, a team located in the same conference as the most dominating team in football for more than a decade, these very New England Patriots. Our quarterbacks as well as those of the Jets over recent years haven’t either the skill of play and/or the ability to exhale a breath of air from any game football in order to play the position of quarterback better……and therefore fail to offer the fans a better played game, win or lose. Isn’t the primary purpose and goal of the NFL to produce the most professionally played game each and ever Sunday, etc?

Who is dumb enough to think that folks at the New England Patriots are the only coaches, players not stupid enough, anti-fan enough to play any professional game without the proper amount of breath of air in a football needed to provide the fans, all fans, the best quality of play in every game football possible?

I am wondering if the Kelly-O’Reilly bloviating noise and being so determined to rise against the Patriots have a more sinister side. They are New York, not New England people…..New York Jets people tired of their Jets as losers, are they stirring up a hornet’s nest to rid their conference of the best coached team very likely in the history of the NFL?

One might come to think these two Fox stars are becoming sneaky Democrats….God forbid!

Katherine Timpf Reverts to Her Genetic Ditziness Griping about Huckabee’s Comment about Feminist Vulgarities

It is human nature which causes feminists to censor that which disturbs their feelings. The human female is born ditzy and cherishes ditziness when nothing else works to protect her emotions throughout her life. Her rise in the management of government, education, and position in the military is cause for some of the many other reasons the country has slipped into its current era of the Obama Left, its trashiness, racism, cultural anome, and the celebration of ignorance and disorder. Feminists rely on censorship to arrange their hair better, think less, and vote left. So many now are childless with little important to do but adore and support tyrannies to feel more secure, and make their loudest hate America and white men noises at universities.

The following article, “Any Other Women Feel Like Swearing at Huckabee, yes his comments were sexist”, was written by a Ms. Timpf from NRO:

“The upcoming 2016 election is very important. There are issues like spending, prison reform, immigration, and, perhaps most important of all — women in New York City swearing at work!
At least that’s what Governor Mike Huckabee seems to think. On Friday morning, the former governor of Arkansas said during an Iowa radio appearance that, “In the South, or in the Midwest, there in Iowa, you would not have people who would just throw the F-bomb and use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting.”
“In New York, not only do the men do it, but the women do it,” Huckabee said.
“My gosh, this is worse than locker-room talk,” he continued. “As we would say in the South, that’s just trashy.”

Why the Obama Love for Deserter Bergdahl?

Why is Barack Hussein interfering with the military process to charge Bowe Bergdahl with his desertion from the line of duty? Why the Obama love to play let’s pretend throughout his presidency?

Scott Johnson writes the following at Powerline:

THE BERGDAHL DECISION
Apart from the interest of the Obama administration in preserving appearances, it’s hard to understand how Bowe Bergdahl might not be charged with desertion. President Obama staged a Rose Garden celebration to announce the swap of Bergdahl for hardened terrorist prisoners last year. Susan Rice stepped forward to praise Bergdahl’s service despite the circumstances of his capture and the disgust of his fellow soldiers, but the powerful comments of those fellow soldiers cast dark shadows on the affair.

Good for Dennis Prager for: “IF THE PRESIDENT COULDN’T TELL A LIE”

IF THE PRESIDENT COULDN’T TELL A LIE…….by Dennis Prager at Townhall:

“In the famous 1997 movie comedy “Liar Liar,” actor Jim Carrey plays a lawyer who, as a result of his young son’s birthday wish being magically fulfilled, cannot tell a lie — he can only tell the truth — for 24 hours. Let’s imagine that such a wish forced President Obama to do the same, not for 24 hours, but only during his State of the Union address.

Here is what he said followed by what he would have said if he could only tell the truth.

President Obama (PO): “Six years ago, nearly 180,000 American troops served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, fewer than 15,000 remain. And we salute the courage and sacrifice of every man and woman in this 9/11 Generation who has served to keep us safe.”

Honest President Obama (HPO): “While I salute the courage of all the Americans who served there, my withdrawal has rendered their sacrifices meaningless. I made it possible for the Islamic State to rise, to control Mosul and other areas of Iraq, and enabled Iran, the most dangerous country in the world, to fill the void we left.””

PO: “The shadow of crisis has passed, and the State of the Union is strong.”

HPO: “The shadow of my crisis has passed. I was re-elected, my approval ratings are stable, and the 2014 elections that held me back from doing whatever I want to do are done with. As regards America and the world, however, the shadow of crisis is probably darker than at any time since World War II. And what I really meant when I said the State of the Union is strong is that the State of the Government is strong. The government controls more of Americans’ lives than ever before.”

PO: “Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well?”

HPO: “I know that in every country in the world only a few do spectacularly well. And as long as some human beings have more ability, work harder, and/or have more luck than others that will always be the case. So why did I ask this pointless question? Because it foments class anger.” Please read on:

From Craig Rucker at CFACT: Martha Boneta Won Her Property Rights Battle in Virginia

We received the following welcomed note from Craig Rucker at the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT):

“Glenn, Many of you have been following Martha Boneta’s property rights struggle in Virginia.

She won!

Radical Green busybodies have been harassing Martha in what appears to be an attempt to drive her off her farm.
Fauquier County officials threatened her with $5,000-per-day fines for such heinous transgressions as selling vegetables, hosting a birthday party for eight 10-year-old girls without a permit and advertising pumpkin carvings.

Martha’s story caught the attention of the nation. A genuine grassroots effort sprang up and inspired bi-partisan legislation which passed and has been signed into law solidifying Virginia’s status as a right-to-farm state by limiting local officials’ ability to interfere with normal agricultural operations.

We’ve got the details at CFACT.org.
Thanks to everyone who signed CFACT’s petition and spoke truth to Green power.
If a bipartisan effort can force radical Greens to back off harassing farmers in Virgina, where next?
