I don't regard Peterson as a teacher, but many do, and I am happy that he is finding his way ever truthward. I could say the same about Brand. Between the two of them, there are nearly 12 million subscribers to their content. Their ideas and opinions certainly have consequences.<br /><br />"Peterson’s stumble: he says it has been demonstrated in many court cases that the election wasn’t stolen. So he still has a ways to go."<br /><br />He is a preoccupied man and has imbibed this particular mainstream narrative uncritically, much like he did concerning the controversy over the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the SCOTUS. <br /><br />The truth of the matter is that the courts simply refused to hear the cases, at least back then when it mattered. I think a few cases have been heard and some election tampering has been proven since, but always safely "not enough to have overturned the election."<br /><br />As for why Peterson chose Kagan in the first place... Neocons have a skill for appearing like the "experts in opposition to the Left" to the uneducated in the history of the American Right. They are the most dangerous wolf in sheep's clothing to the man who still loves the West.

He gets over his skis sometimes (Geography, oil price) but he is an intelligent and articulate man doing mostly good. I like his talks on the horrors of Communism and his Bible series. wrwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127305679855177107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-49992331170159220712022-07-19T17:24:48.488-07:002022-07-19T17:24:48.488-07:00This was my reaction when he started making predic...This was my reaction when he started making predictions on the price of oil.

He fails to recognize that now that the left controls pretty much ALL of the hierarchies they ARE, IN FACT, CORRUPT. He doesn't want to be pigeon holed as "far right", but the only way to avoid systemic corruption is to become far right. There are still errors, there is still corruption, but corruption isn't the whole point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-49970211506187293662022-07-14T08:27:56.387-07:002022-07-14T08:27:56.387-07:00There is no rational left.

The only version of "left" that COULD be rational is a classical liberalism that is rooted in 18th century morality and culture. Maher will never agree to that because 18th century Western culture was explicitly Christian and morally conservative.<br /><br />But good to see JP is learning, in fits and starts.<br /><br />He also made a short message to churches. It was interesting. Still maybe not 100% good, but 90% good.<br /><br />https://thecrosssectionrmb.blogspot.com/RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603112499567064214noreply@blogger.com
