6/6     Hilarious shit.  Ten most harmful books of the 19th and 20th centuries.
        The entry under Das Kapital is particularly funny.
        http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=7591
        \_ Hmm, now I know how the left feels when they start to imagine a
           vast right wing consipiracy.  These guys must be being manipulated
           by some liberal power.  Why else would they do something so
           obviously contrary to their agenda. -not in earnest.
        \_ I find it highly amusing that the ads are for "The Ultimate Fitness
           Program" and "electron machines" (some sort of water purifier, I'm
           guessing). More push-ups, and prevent the defiling of those
           precious bodily fluids, young conservative!
        \_ Hahahaha!
           "FDR adopted the idea as U.S. policy, and the U.S. government now
            has a $2.6-trillion annual budget and an $8-trillion dollar debt."
           That's right, ignore those huge fans of Keynes, Reagan and Bush Jr.

2/10    I like Woz, and I like iWoz, but let me tell ya, no one worships
        him because he has the charisma of an highly functioning

        he's better looking and does an amazing job promoting himself

Not Finding a Koran in Gitmo's Toilets, the NY Times Uncovers a Pro-H itler Interrogator HUMAN EVENTS asked a panel of 15 conservative scholars and public policy leaders to help us compile a list of the Ten Most Harmful Books of the 1 9th and 20th Centuries. Each panelist nominated a number of titles and t hen voted on a ballot including all books nominated. A title received a score of 10 points for being listed No. Appropriately, The Communist Manifesto, by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, earned the highest aggregate score a nd the No. Authors: Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels Publication date: 1848 Score: 74 Summary: Marx and Engels, born in Germany in 1818 and 1820, respectively, were the intellectual godfathers of communism. Engels was the original limousine leftist: A wealthy textile heir, he financed Marx for much of his life. The Communist Manifesto as a platform for a group they belonged to called the Communist League. The M anifesto envisions history as a class struggle between oppressed workers and oppressive owners, calling for a workers revolution so property, f amily and nation-states can be abolished and a proletarian Utopia establ ished. The Evil Empire of the Soviet Union put the Manifesto into practi ce. Mein Kampf (My Struggle) was initially published in two part s in 1925 and 1926 after Hitler was imprisoned for leading Nazi Brown Sh irts in the so-called Beer Hall Putsch that tried to overthrow the Bav arian government. Here Hitler explained his racist, anti-Semitic vision for Germany, laying out a Nazi program pointing directly to World War II and the Holocaust. He envisioned the mass murder of Jews, and a war aga inst France to precede a war against Russia to carve out lebensraum ( living room) for Germans in Eastern Europe. According to the Simon Wiesent hal Center, there were 10 million copies in circulation by 1945. Author: Mao Zedong Publication date: 1966 Score: 38 Summary: Mao, who died in 1976, was the leader of the Red Army in the fig ht for control of China against the anti-Communist forces of Chiang Kai- shek before, during and after World War II. Victorious, in 1949, he foun ded the Peoples Republic of China, enslaving the worlds most populous nation in communism. Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong, otherwise known as The Little Red Book, as a tool in the Cu ltural Revolution he launched to push the Chinese Communist Party and C hinese society back in his ideological direction. Aided by compulsory di stribution in China, billions were printed. Western leftists were enamor ed with its Marxist anti-Americanism. Five years later, he published Sexual Behavior in the Human Female. The reports were designed to give a scien tific gloss to the normalization of promiscuity and deviancy. stunned the nation by saying that American men were so sexually wild that 95% of them could be accused of some kind of sexual offense under 1940s laws, the Washington Times rep orted last year when a movie on Kinsey was released. The report include d reports of sexual activity by boys--even babies--and said that 37% of adult males had had at least one homosexual experience. The 1953 b ook also included reports of sexual activity involving girls younger tha n age 4, and suggested that sex between adults and children could be ben eficial. Author: John Dewey Publication date: 1916 Score: 36 Summary: John Dewey, who lived from 1859 until 1952, was a progressive philosopher and leading advocate for secular humanism in American life, who taught at the University of Chicago and at Columbia. He signed the H umanist Manifesto and rejected traditional religion and moral absolutes. Democracy and Education, in pompous and opaque prose, he dispara ged schooling that focused on traditional character development and endo wing children with hard knowledge, and encouraged the teaching of thinki ng skills instead. His views had great influence on the direction of A merican education--particularly in public schools--and helped nurture th e Clinton generation. Author: Karl Marx Publication date: 1867-1894 Score: 31 Summary: Marx died after publishing a first volume of this massive book, after which his benefactor Engels edited and published two additional vo lumes that Marx had drafted. Das Kapital forces the round peg of cap italism into the square hole of Marxs materialistic theory of history, portraying capitalism as an ugly phase in the development of human socie ty in which capitalists inevitably and amorally exploit labor by paying the cheapest possible wages to earn the greatest possible profits. Marx theorized that the inevitable eventual outcome would be global proletari an revolution. He could not have predicted 21st Century America: a free, affluent society based on capitalism and representative government that people the world over envy and seek to emulate. The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan, born in 1921, dispa raged traditional stay-at-home motherhood as life in a comfortable conc entration camp--a role that degraded women and denied them true fulfill ment in life. She later became founding president of the National Organi zation for Women. Her original vocation, tellingly, was not stay-at-home motherhood but left-wing journalism. com of Betty Friedan and the Making of the Feminine Mystique by Daniel Horowitz (no relation to David): The author documents that F riedan was from her college days, and until her mid-30s, a Stalinist Mar xist, the political intimate of the leaders of Americas Cold War fifth column and for a time even the lover of a young Communist physicist work ing on atomic bomb projects in Berkeleys radiation lab with J Robert O ppenheimer. Author: Auguste Comte Publication date: 1830-1842 Score: 28 Summary: Comte, the product of a royalist Catholic family that survived t he French Revolution, turned his back on his political and cultural heri tage, announcing as a teenager, I have naturally ceased to believe in G od. The Course of Positive Philosophy, he coined the term sociology. He did so while theorizing that the hum an mind had developed beyond theology (a belief that there is a God wh o governs the universe), through metaphysics (in this case defined as the French revolutionaries reliance on abstract assertions of rights without a God), to positivism, in which man alone, through scientific observation, could determine the way things ought to be. Author: Freidrich Nietzsche Publication date: 1886 Score: 28 Summary: An oft-scribbled bit of college-campus graffiti says: God is d ead--Nietzsche followed by Nietzsche is dead--God. Beyond Good and Evil, which was p ublished four years later. Here Nietzsche argued that men are driven by an amoral Will to Power, and that superior men will sweep aside religi ously inspired moral rules, which he deemed as artificial as any other m oral rules, to craft whatever rules would help them dominate the world a round them. Life itself is essentially appropriation, injury, overpower ing of the strange and weaker, suppression, severity, imposition of one s own forms, incorporation and, at the least and mildest, exploitation, he wrote. Gener al Theory of Employment, Interest and Money in the midst of the Great De pression. When the b usiness cycle threatens a contraction of industry, and thus of jobs, he argued, the government should run up deficits, borrowing and spending mo ney to spur economic activity.
