After all the excitement of the Civil War and Reconstruction, it's time for our textbooks for Christian homeschoolers to turn to America's best time ever, the Gilded Age, before all those troublesome unions and Progressives and minorities started causing trouble. For a change, our 8th-grade text from A Beka,
interestingly, i just read somewhere that John Schnatter has caved in on the Obamacare kerfluffle and pledges to keep all his full time employees at full time hours, making them all eligible for healthcare
Take a look at who subscribes to the worst ideologies.
When you're a loser in life, you're pretty desperate for theories and beliefs that say you're not at the bottom of the pile.
My takeaway from this is, for at least the 1000th time, how awesome Twain was. They can try to twist and co-opt him, but his own words will always defeat them, in the hands of an intelligent child.
<i>Sorry, folks, you don&#039;t get to change the definitions that you set up.</i> Nonsense, this is exactly what the GOP and its cohort do best.
That said, Calvanism is all about the unbridled capitalist greed. ...Of course, Calvinism bears only a tangential relationship to Christianity. (See, for example, Calvin&#039;s view of usury, which differs, er, slightly from Jesus&#039;s.)
The Norman knights who took over England were called robber barons or robber knights, probably based on examples from Germany. I&#039;m not sure when exactly the term was first used; I have a reference which says 12th century, but it doesn&#039;t specify where.
The 19th century application was quite consciously modeled on this. For a good example, check out the cartoon from Vol 26, No. 661 of Puck (Nov 6, 1889). In the bound volume, it&#039;s pages 170-171.

Just as an aside, the cartoons in Puck from that era are truly remarkable, even if it&#039;s a little hard to figure out what they&#039;re talking about sometimes.
...but you can roll it in sparkles and glitter!
except that Lewis likely never said that

Camels can&#039;t get through because they&#039;re muslin.
If true, maybe there&#039;s hope.
They lurve them some lieberrys - provided that you let them burn a number of the books.

There&#039;s a reason Kraft was included in the original DOW average
And everything they touched turned to Glod.
Hence the invention of the railroad spike.
I&#039;ll be there in thirty minutes or less.
Very cool. I was going to guess Marx, but of course it would be Carlyle.
