ex cathedra: The Golden Thread?

The Golden Thread?

Now here's something that could be about sex, politics and religion!

Montgomery Gentry's song/video, "Some People Change".

(Can't embed it here, ya gotta click on the title and see it at YouTube).

There's Troy Gentry in the leather jacket, with his Kentucky tenor, barrel chest, flashing his dark eyes and pearly whites in what one grudgingly admiring reviewer called his "impossibly wide GI Joe jaw".

And then at 2:34, the entry of the choir. Always makes the hair on the back of my head stand up. The visual is great, but the sound....choirs of American black women make some of the most archetypally beautiful sounds on earth.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
