Is it justice to let a rapist or murderer live? How so? Are the scales balanced when a man who has robbed a woman of her sanctity and humanity, or who has smashed another man off the face of the earth, is permitted to live-- not only permitted to live but provided, at the expense of the very same people he has violated, with food, clothing and shelter for the rest of his natural life?

All legislation dictates morality. The only question is: whose morality shall be legislated? Thus far, the legislation of militant nonjudgementalism-- the legalized attempt to abolish moral absolutes-- has only generated a society where nothing is forbidden, anything goes, and everyone lives in a state of ever-deeper chaos and fear....

Educators cannot dictate from a stand of "religious neutrality." It is impossible. Firstly, because morality is innately a religious question-- whom do we answer to, and for what.
Secondly, when the teacher banishes the priest, the minister, and the rabbi from the schoolroom, she is implicitly declaring her own religious views-- the religion of agnostic humanism-- to be morally superior to them all....

Pro-abortionists and death penalty opponents run in the same circles for an obvious reason. Whether they admit it or not they are both married to the same ugly moral proposition: the right to kill with impunity.

As a people, we make less stringent demands of scientific proof from people claiming environmental catastrophe than the average tabloid makes of alien abductees.
