Heroes and hoagies

Disappointing. I was once a great fan of Jonathan Rauch. Now I cringe to find that he considers one of the few "great bloggers" to be Andrew Sullivan. Someone else I used to like before he fell over the edge into hysterical moralizing and Bush/Palin Derangement Syndrome.

Well, at least Victor Davis Hanson is still The Man. For now.

I don't think VDH will change.
Here's one theory of mine as to why. Ive had the pleasure of meeting him in person, with one of his daughters, the pride in her was noticeable. He is a father who has raised great kids - nothing like being a good parent to ground you.
Rauch may celebrate 'marriage' - but only as a selfish thing.; 9:07 AM, July 16, 2011

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.
