Ouch

From my years in Canada, I know the writings and opinions of Barbara Amiel, a high-powered woman of the right. I have not always appreciated her. But her piece on how the feminist left has responded to Governor Palin is a well-crafted, right-on-the-money observation: feminism is not the friend of women but only of women who follow the tenets of liberal feminism.

Same goes for the left and race, religion, etc. Nothing (with the exception of George W Bush) provokes a liberal to unseemly acting-out than a member of an Officially Designated Victim Group who does not follow the script. Eg, Condoleeza Rice. As some wag once wrote, the goal of liberalism is not the spread of freedom, but the spread of liberalism.

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.
