ex cathedra: Obama's children at play

Obama's children at play

On the subway, half way down the car, a teenage Black kid, long hair, striped shirt, pants with his ass out, got offended by something another Black kid, a girl, was saying on her phone, about 10 feet away. He started a tirade, in a style rather particular to his socio-economic group, the basic theme of which was, "You don't know me, nigga. Nigga. Nigga. You don't know me, nigga." Repeated many times at varying volumes as he sat there.

Where's The Punisher when you need him to take care of the dirty laundry?

4:40 ff things heat up, with 6:20 ff especially satisfying.

What was that Pope Francis was saying the other day?

My wish is that the dialogue between us should help to build bridges connecting all people, in such a way that everyone can see in the other not an enemy, not a rival, but a brother or sister to be welcomed and embraced!

Yeah, right.

All the forms of ungrounded idealism, religious or not, that call us to blind ourselves to reality and to waste our energy in pursuit of impossibilities really piss me off.

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.
