In the history of the world, we have seen economic systems which primarily aim to make *everyone* richer, and secondarily make the the poor better off. And we have seen systems which primarily aim (or at least claim to try) to make the poor better off, but actually make everyone poorer.

But we have never seen a system which makes equality of outcome its goal which actually benefitted the poor, in real terms, over the long run.

So, that Time Magazine piece shocked a lot of us in how openly it discussed how the deck was stacked against Trump in the election. But Doug Wilson has taken it a step further and identified why it was written:

"What happened in this last election was widespread enough, flagrant enough, and obvious enough that it cannot really be kept out of the hands of competent historians. At some point in the foreseeable future, a definitive and honest account really will be written, and this article is designed to have a “proper and approved” narrative lined up beforehand. “We have always acknowledged, and quite openly, that we did thus and such. Jeffrey T. Morehouse’s book is yesterday’s newspaper. Yawn.""

"God is going to deliver us, but He is going to do it in such a way as that He gets the glory. And by “He,” I am not referring to the pasty, enervated, etiolated, and anemic god of American civic religion. I am referring to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

@TakeN Nothing. 😊

"And he who is not sufficiently courageous even to defend his soul—don't let him be proud of his “progressive” views, don't let him boast that he is an academician or a people's artist, a merited figure, or a general—let him say to himself: I am in the herd, and a coward. It's all the same to me as long as I'm fed and warm." - Alexander Solzhenitsyn (https://www.orthodoxytoday.org/articles/SolhenitsynLies.php)

First time on the range with a handgun. Not too shabby. #OldDogNewTrick #PewPew

I guess sacrificing women's sports is a small price to pay for getting rid of Trump's mean tweets, right? 🙄

@Cherishingsparrows2020 Figures. Fortunately, it's still available from the Internet 'Wayback Machine': https://web.archive.org/web/20210120005210/https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/The-Presidents-Advisory-1776-Commission-Final-Report.pdf
