ex cathedra: Bah, humbug

Bah, humbug

I have always liked Christmas.

There is one aspect that I do not like...and it's not the rampant commercialism, etc. blah blah...it's the music. Not the traditional music, --if you except Mele Kalikimaka--of which I am very fond, but the updated, cool and current music. All the groovy, rockin, hiphoppin or whatever stuff. Mariah Carrey's Christmas album, for example.

Or right now, playing on the Sounds of the Season station, an elevator quality orchestral version of what was even in its original form a small piece of groovy nada from Hispanic has been Jose Feliciano, I Want to Wish You A Merry Christmas Feliz Navidad.

Peace, out. Scrooge.

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.
