ex cathedra: Hop Rod, not Hip Hop

Hop Rod, not Hip Hop

I am not a big beer drinker. I like the taste well enough, but it fills me up in a heartbeat. I feel stuffed very quickly. I do love an occasional cold one in the hot summers, especially with a fresh tomato sandwich. And a Black and Tan at the ballpark goes down very nicely with sausage on a bun. This past year I tried Bear Republic's Hop Rod Rye Ale after a very pleasant day of hiking with B. (The knucklehead was the occasion for cascades of pleasant days.) Liked the stuff very much.

So tonight I made meatballs (beef, chopped onions, garlic, cumin, breadcrumbs, egg) with tomato sauce and fettuccine. And a glass of Hop Rod Rye. Strong, sharp, very aromatic. Nice stuff.

Is this politics, sex or religion? Well, food may include and transcend them all.

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.
