ex cathedra: Sumer is icumen in

Sumer is icumen in

On the cusp of July. Real summer.

Off with B to the eastern Sierras for a few days this July 4th weekend:
mountains and forests and lakes, hot days for hiking and chill nights for sleeping.

I moved to California almost twenty years ago and am still happily awed
by its landscapes, so dramatic and colorful. And it is a sweet, if illusory
and momentary, escape from the larger human world with its abundant craziness.
The smaller human world has its own craziness, but, hey, that I can handle.

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.
