How to turn America Socialist

This is a primer for you if you're a budding socialist and want to know how to bring revolution.

Why I am a cessationist - by Jesse Johnson

Found here. Our comments in bold.
------------------------------

Another installment in our quest for the biblical argument for cessationism. Again, we are not interested in arguments derived from the failures of contemporary charismatics, arguments from silence, or arguments based on post-biblical history. We want the BIBLICAL case. 

But the author will not do this. In this long, speculative, undocumented screed the author manages to quote only a single Scripture. One. That's it. Astounding.

This may be one of the worst defenses of cessationism we have ever read. Yes, it's that bad.

Dr. Johnson doesn't seem to understand what conservatives believe. Or liberals for that matter.

Fake Pregnancy Centers Will Say Some Ridiculous Things To Trick Women Away From Abortion- BY ALEX ZIELINSKI

Found here. Reproduced here for fair use and discussion purposes. My comments in bold.
----------------------------

The Left is on a never-ending quest to stifle dissent and quash intellectual diversity. Basically, they can't stand someone having another opinion. Thus, anyone who deigns to utter even the slightest divergence from the leftist Handbook of Approved Ideas will be subject to merciless sanction.

Notice even the title of the article is suggestive of this. "Fake pregnancy centers" means that these facilities aren't about pregnant women. But actually, they are about helping women keep their baby and not kill it. Now certainly a pro-choicer would object to the idea that a pregnancy center would actually be about continuing the pregnancy, but by virtue of not being in favor of abortion, they conclude these centers are fake.

10 Serious Problems with Jesus Calling - by Tim Challies

Found here. Reproduced here for fair use and discussion purposes. My comments in bold.
----------------------------

I should state at the onset that I'm not particularly interested in defending Sarah Young or her book. I am, however, going to examine Tim Challies' arguments. 

As I've mentioned previously, it's almost become a quest of mine to find a genuine biblical argument for cessationism. John MacArthur has failed. George Faull fell short. Steve Finnell couldn't step up. Tom Pennington, Phil Johnson, David Vaughn Elliot, Nathan Busenitz, Lyndon Unger and Nancy Guthrie didn't make the cut.

Let's see how Mr. Challies does:

What I Learned on My Red State Book Tour - by Robert Reich

Found here. Reproduced here for fair use and discussion purposes. My comments in bold.
-------------------------------
Dr. Reich is shocked that there are thoughtful, reasonable people out there in "red" America. A typical leftist elitist, he reflexively looks down on anyone not like him, whether it's ideology, education, or whatever.

I imagine it was quite an eye-opener to find people who are part of the unwashed masses who are actually smart, sophisticated, and informed.

Who owns Gallatin County? The Bozeman area’s biggest property owners ranked - By Eric Dietrich Chronicle Staff Writer

Found here. Reproduced here for fair use and discussion purposes. My comments in bold.
---------------------------

What struck me about this article is it never does the math about who are the real big players in land ownership in Gallatin County. So, we shall do the math. The county has a total of 2603 square miles of area, of which 29 square miles is water. That's 2574 square miles, or 1,647,360 acres.

According to the article, the following public entities own land: US Government, 723,893 acres; State of Montana, 62,889; City of Bozeman, 3,879; MSU, 2255; Gallatin County, 1273; Bozeman Schools, 272; City of West Yellowstone, 63; City of Belgrade, 37; City of Manhattan, 40. Total owned by government entities is 794,601 acres, or 48.2% of the county.

That's nearly half the county that is off the taxpayer rolls. 

Holy Crap - Ben Carson thinks our tax system should be based on the Bible - Adam Chodorow

Found here. Reproduced here for fair use and discussion purposes. My comments in bold.
-------------------------
(Now that Dr. Carson has risen up in the polls, the Left's cannon fire turns towards him. That's what the Left does, doubly so to Republican people of color. They cannot permit a smart, accomplished, educated black to be honored or respected, because their entire world view rests on the idea that the only hope for blacks is with them. 

So now the Left is going to tell us what the Bible really says, because they really believe it and all. And as everyone knows, they're expert theologians.)

The Rigging of the American Market - by Robert Reich

-------------------------

Having commented on several of Dr. Reich's posts, I am increasingly convinced that his ideology make him incapable of seeing what is right before his eyes. Yet he resolutely spouts leftist rhetoric time after time, completely unaware of the present economic situation.

Carly Fiorina’s Utterly Bonkers Take On The Constitution - BY IAN MILLHISER

Found here. Reproduced here for fair use and discussion purposes. My comments in bold.
-----------------------------
The leftist tendency toward hyperbole is here on full display. "Utterly bonkers?" Some synonyms to bonkers are bananas, nuts, crazy, wild, ballistic, and cuckoo. In other words, according to the author, it is beyond any standard of normalcy of intellectual processes to think the way Fiorina does.

Let's see if the author actually demonstrates this.
