ex cathedra: Bump in the night

Bump in the night

For reasons unknown, I fell asleep around 8 this evening and then woke up at 12.30. Well, what to do now? (Ever since my post noting a good night's sleep as things I'm grateful for, I've not slept through once!).

A 1972 flick with pre-Magnum PI Tom Selleck? A Filipino witchcraft production, with his loony wife as a re-incarnated bruja. Oy. His Jesse Stone series has redeemed him, though.

Watched How the West Was Won over the last few days. A drama of westward migration through three generations. Not what I expected, but still with its exciting and moving moments. The nine-day truck trip I made in 1991 to move out to California, crossing the country, left me permanently awed by the folks who came out here on foot, on horseback, in wagons.

Ate an orange. Used to be a great fan of orange juice. Sorta gave it up several years ago. Don't remember why.

She Done Him Wrong. Mae West and Cary Grant. A 1938 film about the 1890's. That'll do. I'll watch it through or fall asleep during it. The latter, I hope.

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.
