Welcome to the church of Secular Fundamentalism. Many, and probably most American cities dump their carefully collected “recyclables” into the local landfill! That’s right! After you laboriously separate your pizza boxes and beer cans from your papaya skins and T-Bone steak left-overs, after you arduously rinse out spaghetti sauce jars and baked bean cans, and after you religiously do all this and place each in its designated container, your city picks it up and dumps it all into exactly the sam...

If Americans in favor of abortion knew some truths about the abortion industry, would they change their minds? Is that fear causing suppression of the new Gosnell movie, “Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer”? Kermit Gosnell was a cruel and callous murderer operating an abortion mill staffed by unqualified teenagers. Why wasn’t he subject to the health inspections that even dentists and nail salons endure? How could he kill babies and adults in disgustingly filthy surroundings f...

We're all fallible outside our areas of expertise, even famous heart-surgeons, and billionaires. The only way the government can give some people money is by first taking it from others. It does so by imposing confiscatory rates of taxation and by printing money. Why both activities leave you with less of your own money. Many intelligent and accomplished people who lack all wisdom have been predicting the end of work since 1801; tech advances will put millions out of work. Why they always have b...

Virtually all political debate, conflict, and hostility today is between the state religion of the American government and ruling classes, namely Secular Progressive Fundamentalism and the more conservative outlook springing from the Bible-based Judeo-Christian tradition. This religion, SPF, has also been embraced by the European Economic Union and by almost all universities and educational systems. They worship the small ‘g’ of government. On the other side is arrayed a loose alliance of citize...

Don’t be overwhelmed by today’s events in your business, family, or our politics. Seek understanding of the original causes. A tyrannical state, through hysterically emotional courtrooms, ruthlessly ambitious and corrupt prosecutors, and political-wind-sniffing judges, frequently destroys the lives of law-abiding American citizens. Sarah Good and 4 other innocent women were executed in Massachusetts 1692 for being witches! With no conviction ever, Ray Buckey spent 5 years of his life in jail in ...

“I do want to get married. I just haven’t found the right girl yet” he said to me. In this show you’ll hear what I said to him. You will probably never guess when the right time is to start your child’s moral education. These are two of the questions I discuss in this show which is a speech I delivered in Dallas last Sunday. I speculate on why I sound different when I speak to a live audience from how I usually sound on this show. Some of the other questions I answer are these: why God chose Abr...

Isn’t technology wonderful? Sure; it’s given us marvelous medicines, instantaneous communication, & spectacular entertainment. But it’s also given us hackers who can steal our identities, bosses who expect responses from us at midnight, and a cornucopia of pornography. In other words, technology increases the possibility of good but it also amplifies the bad. Good societies use it to spread information and participation while rogue regimes use it to repress and control. Technology can assist...

Why you could have once watched me demolishing a huge ants nest. Why an utterly chaste nun in Florida contracts an STD while hedonistic people in California seem to cavort concupiscently with impunity?

Why a large white llama wandered around the Lapin family’s dinner table. Why movements and organizations with no attractive young women involved are doomed. Does the animal rights movement attract young women? Are circuses, dolphin shows, and even zoos unethical? Who caused the changes in packaging for animal crackers? You don’t own your pet; you are a guardian to your animal companion. Admittedly it’s a sad choice but would you kill six bunny rabbits (or chimpanzees) in order to save the life o...

The powerful attractions that most of us feel towards both physical intimacy and money are really no more than the two components of the force of attraction. Both the pleasure of sensual fulfillment and the pleasure of acquiring money are attained only with the participation of another person. Do you know anyone who doesn’t want to have more money? Do you know anyone who doesn’t want to have a joyous marriage and fulfilling family life? There may be one or two outliers, but almost everyone we kn...

Never mind Harry Potter, but is making money ‘stinking sorcery’? Hey Kids! It’s easy to describe the hard work your dad does if he’s a bus driver, a fireman, or a pilot. But what if he’s a mortgage broker, a recruiter, or an investment banker? Does he make money by just talking on the phone all day? Sounds like fun.

How a country’s economy controls its military abilities. The most important rule you’ve heard today: Reality is more accurately depicted by a video than by a snapshot. Hitler wasn’t a lunatic-at least not at first. His willingness to make war against England was quite logical. This show explains why. It also explains why China could one day become a real threat to America while Russia’s population and economy make it all but incapable of seriously imperiling any American interests.

China threatens American military interests in South China Sea & American economic interests internationally.

Does America really care about little children? For more than 8 days, the world held its breath over the plight of 12 young boys stranded in a cave in Northern Thailand. Why no equivalent empathy for the more than 50 young American boys murdered by their mothers’ boyfriends in only the first half of 2018? Why no attempt to rescue the thousands of young children at mortal peril from their mothers’ live-in boyfriends? Why no comparable concern for the many children at risk of being killed in drive...

“You two have lovely hearts!” she told us. But she couldn’t have known that. What’s more, it’s irrelevant. What mainly matters for people to be able to live & function together, is not our hearts and thoughts but how we behave. The motives of muggers & murderers don’t matter. Their behavior does. The reasons robbers rob and rapists rape is largely irrelevant. But since you ask, I do happen to know why young men commit these hideous crimes. The answer is simple: Because they wanted to. Be...

Is America headed up or down? Is our discontent with our leaders because we see them working in their own interest, not in ours or just because we are deplorables? Is our distrust in the FBI, the IRS, the Veterans Admin., the USPS, and Amtrak because of rampant bureaucratic & political corruption or just because we are paranoid? Does our gloom and pessimism obscure all the wonderful indicators of progress—teachers now getting paid well, even the poor have smartphones and air-conditioning, in...

“This was the beginning of evil, for if no man is a hero to his valet, much less can he remain a god for long in the eyes of a curious woman. Here, as in other matters, familiarity breeds contempt.” I didn’t realize that when the great English adventure writer Rider Haggard wrote those words, he was quoting the German 18th century philosopher Hegel, of whom in general, I don’t think much but who did write these good words, “No man is a hero to his valet. This is not because the hero is not a her...

On this show, I enjoy a conversation with several listeners of the Rabbi Daniel Lapin Show. The only thing about hosting my shows on terrestrial radio that I miss is the conversation with callers.

Most adults who have lived a little of life, and who’ve survived its inevitable heartaches and tears, deeply desire to save their children from pain. Chief among their legitimate concerns is premature sexualization. What a blessing it would be if children could avoid the intense emotional roller coaster ride of serial infatuations. (And don’t for a moment surrender responsibility by fallaciously claiming that such heartbreak is ‘just part of growing up’. It isn’t.) How about if kids could grow u...

Do you really believe that all children born ought to have equal opportunities for successful lives? Really? And how far exactly do you want the government to go in order to guarantee this? How should we guarantee the child of a drug-addicted homeless woman the same shot at success as a homeschooled child from a caring intact family? Should parents be able to bequeath their assets to their children or is the death tax a moral attempt to provide all children the same shot at success? Does a relig...

True systems like mathematics and physics have no internal contradictions. No law about addition or subtraction contradicts any other law about multiplication or division. No law about gravity or optics contradicts another law about motion or electricity. Yet, repeatedly, the system known variously as liberalism/leftism/progressivism/secular fundamentalism/socialism reveals internal contradictions. These intrinsic fault lines prove the failure of the unproven axioms known as liberalism/leftism/e...
