ex cathedra: Truthy

Truthy

is a word liberals use to describe something that is factually false but that nevertheless exhibits a deeper and truer truth.

Hey, I didn't make it up.

Rigoberta Menchu is a classic example: falsehoods in the service of a truer truth.

Obama’s America: The View from Prague (UPDATED) | Power Line:

The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. [Twice!]

It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America.

Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.

I saw the piece above and thought it was mostly right on...since it echoed my own viewpoint. (Funny how that happens). Mostly because BO is a huge danger. But the larger point is right.

Turns out that the piece is made-up.

Nevertheless, regardless of source or authorship, it's truthy.

And to the multitude of fools who re-elected him: you will get what you deserve.

(A similar, but factual story with opinion, from Canada. If the people change, no form of government can save the country.)

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.
