I agree with you. No one is perfect, but I find that Shapiro is one of the most brilliant thinkers out there today. His only problem is he is not Christian, which would make him that much more rational, but he can’t see through his dogma (brainwashing).

If he follows the Talmud (tribalism/mysticism), then I have a big problem with his ability to “reason” (be human). The most perfect, “just” ethics system has always been the Chrisitian one and the Ten Commandments. True Christianity is the most inclusive though, created Common Law and the Magna Carta and most diverse cultures, and is the most just, rational religion in the history of man. It is the only appropriate worldview for our Constitution, which embraces Natural Law theory, although Shapiro does understand Natural Law theory at a very high level. It is what makes him, as rational as he is.

Andrew Klaven is right a lot of times and by “right” I mean in line with our Constitution (Natural Law theory). That people make mistakes is an absolute-—but what I like about Trump is his ability to listen to all sides and come up with his own common sense opinion. He will not be “right” all the time and he will make mistakes. His advisors are crucial. His understanding of the lying media is crucial. Truth is necessary for Freedom and “doing the right thing”. Getting “truth” today is difficult, even for President Trump. He has many evil people around him vying for power. His ability to discern the Good from the Evil will be the deciding factor. Wisdom is the ability to discern Good and Evil. (Cicero).

We have had such lies fed to us for over a century and the brilliant philosophy of our Constitution banned (like God) so that so many are just ignorant fools who promote and accept vice as “good” who “think” they know everything. Ignorance is vice and vice will collapse cultures. Truth (God) is needed for a healthy, brilliant country. If Trump realizes it, we will be great again.

I generally agree with your post.

Mark Steyn is another example: As someone pointed out elsewhere, Steyn, an atheist, got maudlin over the death of George Michael in an irrational way that he probably would not have done if her were a Christian. I certainly have a high regard for Steyn’s intellect, but I surprised and disappointed by his commentary on that.

I appreciate your openly antisemitic belief that Jews are incapable of reason or being human.
With the exception of the small number of Karites (neo-Sadducees) all traditional Jews accept the legitimacy of the Talmud to varying degrees. The Jews who don't are Reform, Reconstructionist, and atheists, the ones on the left.

You know nothing of Jews or Judaism save conspiracy and lies.
PS. Isn't Klaven Jewish?
