R.J. Rushdoony was highly influential in Doug Phillips life. As a friend of Howard Phillips, Rushdoonys opinions were taken seriously by Doug. Doug has always spoken very highly of Rushdoony. I have a feeling that, like Phil Robertson, Rushdoony would either condemn the Civil Rights movement or act as if it was unnecessary. I would not be surprised to learn that some Rushdoony students consider Rushdoony to be an in-the-closet Racist. Rushdoonys the sky is falling psychosis is partially responsible for the Vision Forum cult. Dont laugh. Many lives have been damaged. Its not funny. Not all cultures are engineered equal. ---------------- 2:15 - 2:23 ...the 60s went out of its way to trample underfoot everything connected with that world ... 4:12 - 4:42 I know that in the 70s I was insulted a number of times when I automatically held a door open for a woman who was coming into a bank or a store just behind me. That was treated as insulting behavior by these Feminists. Im glad to say that hasnt happened for some time. But for a while it was common place; it was a deliberate contempt for mannerly behavior. 5:14 - 5-33 One of the things that Ive heard said about manners was that: just as a car without oil would see its motor burn up very quickly, so to a society without manners would see communication very quickly destroyed. 7:28 - 8:41 Earlier I referred to manners as the lubricating oil of society. That which makes life livable, community possible, because it established ground rules for human relationships. This is why community now has, to a great extent, broken down in many areas. There is no common courtesy. No sense of decent behavior. The result is that people are at odds with each other. They withdraw from one another. We have more people coming together to watch games and sporting events and that sort of thing and far less activity that people share together. Courtesy has given way to hostility to anything less than perfection at every point. We have a highly imperfect society that is intolerant of imperfections in others. I think that, lack of manners, is responsible for. youtu.be/8xKcpHvLB4c
