"Today, the reason I've been completely marginalised is that the leadership of my party regards me as a loose cannon. My commitment to secular fundamentalism is of such a basic character that pragmatic people in the Congress party think I'm being too extreme" - Mani Shankar Aiyar, politician and author, 'Memoirs of a Maverick' talks to Manjula Narayan about the difference between Hinduism and Hindutva, being brought up as a "coconut", Rajiv Gandhi as India's most misunderstood PM, standing up for Nehruvian values, the need to talk to Pakistan, and why he will never stop speaking his mind
Gary was interviewed by Jay Rudolph on the Plumb Line radio program. Gary discussed several recent articles he wrote, as well as general worldview issues. Christians must understand that we are in a war of ideas and consequences, as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.
How American news media outlets have become propaganda machines for the evil and destructive pathology of Secular Fundamentalism. Photoshopping and airbrushing images of a man swimmer competing in women's swim events to make him look like an attractive girl. Surely, in this modern day and enlightened age no man cares about his lady's “history”. Yet, magazines advise women to lie about their ‘history'. Why? Women working for male boss causing marital stress? In this modern day and enlightened age? Surely not.

Politicians often depend on their religious belief systems when deciding how to use tax money confiscated from you. Mostly they follow the belief system known as Secular Fundamentalism whose sacred sacrament is Climate Change. How and why petroleum, coal, and natural gas came to be known as Fossil Fuels. The new, and Rabbi Daniel Lapin approved, name for those fuels. The sad, sacrilegious saga of Philadelphia's battery buses. Why food prices are going up and the container size in which the food is packaged is going down. If I pay five men not to work, it doesn't harm you but when the government does exactly the same thing, giving people money not to work, it robs you of your money. Your opinion may be valuable even if you have no university degree. Enjoy lesson one of Scrolling Through Scripture for free. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We all change our behavior on the basis of our beliefs, not the facts we learn. Beliefs lead to feelings which are emotional—facts are intellectual. We do things because we feel like it much more often than because we know we should. Recycling is the sacred sacrament of the religion of urban atheists, Secular Fundamentalism. It is based entirely on false beliefs and not on facts. The real reason why America’s temples of Secular Fundamentalism, the universities, hate Christianity but love Islam? How the Quran’s story of creation differs from Genesis. Why sophisticated and experienced adults turned into buffoons as they prostrated themselves at the feet of a precocious 15 year-old girl, Saint Greta Thunberg, the 21st century version of the 15th century Joan of Arc. Why does New York pay $300/ton more to process garbage than necessary and why does Seattle employ inspectors to root through citizens garbage receptacles? Why do people put up with this nonsense?

Responding to a thoughtful listener’s letter attacking my views on marriage as “ridiculous”. Would we stand for a system that forces young people to undergo at least four years of religious indoctrination before getting on with their lives? Would we cruelly withhold jobs and employment from anyone brave enough to try and evade this brutal system of compulsory madrassas? Would we allow imams, clerics, and priests to impose their destructive dogmas on young minds? Of course not, right? But we do just that! Secular Fundamentalism is a religion; it’s a militant faith, a community of shared values, heresies and sacraments. Today’s modern secular fundamentalism has its fanatics and its saints and we force millions of tomorrow’s leaders into bowing down to its idols. The power of numbers over stories. Making important life decisions with our heads and never with our hearts. How to decide just who among us gets the rare and desirable resources we all covet.
For those of you who’ve been eagerly awaiting the day I criticize President Donald Trump, today is your day! Listen as I revile and repudiate the following phrase from the State of the Union: “All Americans can be proud that we have more women in the workforce than ever before.” Well, I am not at all proud of that. And neither should you be. The President and his speechwriters were pandering to the high priests of Secular Fundamentalism. 98% of speech therapists are women, but well under 1% of construction industry jobs are held by women. Wives save their husbands from being hermits. Wives and moms build communities and neighborhoods. Huge numbers of wives, whose husbands earn enough, do enthusiastically quit the workforce. And these things are good for everyone other than Democrat Party (Yes! Call it that) politicians who’d rather tax two incomes. Also, hear my interview with Tom Ziglar, who just wrote a terrific new book, 'Choose To Win'. He is not only the son of the late, great Zig Ziglar, but he is also a cherished friend. We cover his book, growing up as the son of Zig, and the marriage of his parents. Secular Fundamentalism, the flip side of the Judeo-Christian Bible faiths, loathes anything with Biblical roots and nothing more than marriage and family. Their message to women is: “You don’t need a husband, all you need is the government.” Why are over 80% of women on welfare, single? Because that is exactly what radical socialists want. But there’s hope. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Okay, for all those of you who’ve been eagerly awaiting the day I criticize President Donald Trump, today is your day!

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 same landfill into which they put your baby’s dirty diapers and the avocado pits from yesterday’s guacamole. China is tired of being the trash dump for North America. “Recycling” is impossibly expensive and hopelessly uneconomical, in other words, if you did manufacture plastic or glass bottles out of trash produced by your city, nobody would purchase your products as they’d cost so much more than freshly manufactured equivalents. How companies lie when they tell you their products contain 30% recycled material. The religion of Secular Fundamentalism has its saints and its sinners like most other religions. It should cost no more than $5/ month to get rid of your household trash; check your city bill now! Meanwhile, continue being forced to participate in the sacred sacraments of the official government religion of Secular Fundamentalism and genuflect in your kitchen before the blue cylindrical shaped idol that you piously feed with carefully selected tidbits.

The 3 characteristics that define a religion and why Scientology isn’t one but Islam is. Why progressive politics and leftist ideologies are not a political creed but are, in fact, a religion. Can you name the “High Priests” of the Left? Why so-called “climate-change” has far less to do with science than it does with religious belief. Meet a Berkeley-trained feminist skeptic (Judy) who met a rabbi (me). You’ll enjoy hearing about her initial encounter with faith and how she ultimately fell in love.

Let’s consolidate Leftism, Socialism, Marxism, Communism, Progressivism, and yes, Liberalism, all under one simple but true umbrella---Secular Fundamentalism. Start off with a commitment to secularism, and your soul is automatically tugged left. Reject God and for most the alternative is government. But why Oh why do people who hate private property and despise the “rich” also loathe the traditional family. Why can’t you be a good economic leftist, loving high taxes and government redistribution but loving the concept of the family? It seems impossible. Let’s listen to discover why.

Not all fights are fair. Why liberalism/leftism otherwise known as the religion of secular fundamentalism has the advantage. Does this mean that Judeo-Christian Biblical-based civilization will ultimately lose? One side says, “Vote for us and we’ll give you lots of stuff. And we’ll remove all the rules, restrictions, rituals and restraints that maintain society’s repressive institutions.” The other side can only say, “Vote for us, we’ll get out of your way and you can make of your life what you will.” Why companies making electric cars are reckless investments. Why you should trust yourself rather than experts and studies. How Secular Fundamentalism came to dominate America and why it rejects reality. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you noticed how America's State Religion of Secular Fundamentalism lives only in the present? Its political arm, liberalism, is oblivious to the past and it ignores the future. The fetus that would, tomorrow, become a baby? Tomorrow is irrelevant; today the fetus is inconvenient. Minimum wage laws might cost jobs tomorrow? Who cares. Today it makes me sound caring. The constitution? A tired and ancient document from yesterday that should not constrain my policies today. Force the Israelis to give up defensive land sounds good today but ignores centuries of yesterdays including the Armenian massacre and ignores the possibility of genocide tomorrow.
