America losing its mind

During an NPR interview about the Arizona shootings, a new Congressman from Utah, himself a sometime gun carrier, trying to be the caring and utopian therapist-lawmaker figure that we have decided is now de riguer all over the place, says: "What people are struggling with is how to make sure nothing like this happens ever again."

What???????????????????????????????????????????

YOU CANNOT MAKE SURE NOTHING LIKE THIS EVER HAPPENS AGAIN.

WTF!?

The posing unreality of public discourse has long since passed the mark from ridiculous to dangerous. It's not the use of martial metaphor; that is in fact an achievement of humanity: to substitute words for weapons. It is the utterly unhinged and hysterical quality of the speech about the act.

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.
