ex cathedra: Nostalgia

Nostalgia

The grey-headed liberals at the American Catholic Council meeting in Detroit complain that "the Church is not listening."

Reminds me of chronically whiny employees I had in an AIDS and substance abuse non-profit I once ran. Whenever they wanted something and did not get it, they would say, "You're not hearing me." I explained to these childish narcissists that I was indeed hearing them and was responding with "No."

To them, and to the folks in Detroit, "listening" means "giving in to what I want because justice and truth are obviously on my side."

Could if be that because the Church listened to them, that it said no?

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.
