    I thought that it was a good read. As for Woodrow Wilson, I remember a prof noting that Wilson put Debs in prison for speaking against WW I but Harding released him. Harding does not get credit for standing for human rights. Woodrow Wilson was a racist. He fired all the blacks that the GOP had hired to work in the federal civil service. Democrats have covered up Wilson's racism and his violations of the rights of nuts like Debs.

    However, I think that Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover undid some of what Wilson had done. The GOP kept us out of the worthless League of Nations but succumbed to the pressure to pay for the equally worthless United Nations. Pope Francis likes to berate the USA and Trump but he supports the goals of the UN, neglecting to mention that it is the USA that pays for the evil intentions of the UN.

    My personal opinion is that the current domination of the Democrat Party by the communists began under Franklin Delano Roosevelt who had a leftist foreign policy as well as a leftist domestic policy. FDR himself was not only racist but also anti-Semitic. '

    I enlarged the print 200 % to make for easy reading. Finally, I was very glad to see in the bibliography one of my favorite books by a man whose television show I watched: Reese, Dave. 7 Men Who Rule the World from the Grave. Moody Press, 1990

    (The seven men who rule the world from the grave are: Charles Darwin, Julius Wellhausen, John Dewey, Sigmund Freud, John Maynard Keynes, Soren Kierkegaard and Karl Marx.)

    Did Russian literature undermine the communist bloodbath internally slowly but surely? Won't traditional orthodox (small "o") Christianity undermine the communists in the USA? Haven't the cultural marxists in the church forever disgraced themselves as power-mad?

    One not on your list, but fundamentally influential is the 18th–century Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume. His arguments against the possibility of miracle have been embraced by many, probably including all on your list, as well as infamous modern atheists, such as Anthony Flew and Richard Dawkins, who have in turn influenced millions.

    Well, it is not my list but the list of David Breese, as you know. Yes, Hume probably influenced most on the list. I think that existentialist Soren Kierkegaard dealt some with Hume. It would be Julius Wellhausen who dealt in Higher Criticism that probably would incorporate Hume but I am guessing. You can see that the West still reverences the seven figures selected by Breese and we are boxed in by them. Breese had the television show "The King Is Coming." It was started by Dr. Howard Estep but when he died, Breese took over. It now is continued by Dr. Ed Hindson.

    Have you read The Intellectuals by Paul Johnson? John MacArthur noted that it deals with the nature of highly intelligent men without Christ--they become monsters.

    No, I have not read it, but the thesis is easily derived from personal experience and exposure. I've met just such people, as well as heard them in debate.

    With enough education thieves steal from the masses. With enough education the self-righteous become tormentors. With sufficiently educated influence the godless become Satans.

    Yes, monsters indeed. They would steal your heart, your mind, and your very soul.

    Intriguing thesis. I'm uncertain of the influence of redacted Russian classics on the Cult of Lenin. But certainly by the call of God on bravehearted souls the Gospel penetrates even the darkest regions.

    If memory serves, one man came to Christ by piecing together Scripture from atheist literature aimed at denigrating Jesus. Seems it was in Albania, where "God" was even banned from the dictionary.

    It is horrible what the Democrats have done to both black Republicans and white Republicans. When I was a boy, I knew some of this because Lincoln had lived for a short time in southern Indiana and Republicans said that they were the party of Lincoln back in the Eisenhower era.
