ex cathedra: Waking late

Waking late

And a few thoughts.

Viewed some of the Pope's installation/inauguration ceremony. A plainer aesthetic. I have no beef at all with pomp and circumstance, but I am glad to see the lace replaced by linen. And if the high stovepipe mitres are gone, that would be nice, too. He apparently never sings any of the liturgy, all recitation. Blah.

My skeptical opinion of Papa Francesco remains: a lot of pious devotionalism linked to a lot of pious moralism. And my allergy to "humble and simple" remains as well. Every time he does something out of the ordinary, "humbly and simply", he draws attention to himself. That's how those folks roll. Populist cute. And after he's broken this and that and this and that tradition, etc. what then? Boring. Remember all that humble papal kissing of the tarmack back in the day? Or when Paul VI sold his triple tiara? No, I thought not.

Plus we have the now de rigueur reaching out in friendship to everyone, blah, blah. This is not Christianity, especially not Catholicism. It is what Liberalism requires of religion as price for its polite toleration by its cultured despisers. I am especially unimpressed by breathless hopes that "better relations with Islam" will come with the new guy. That, my friends, is a distinctly dhimmi one-way street.

Looks like there's more evidence that Global Warming, one of the pillars of the Liberal faith, may be going the way of the dinosaurs.

Speaking of which, the GOP did a post-mortem on their loss of 2012. I think they're past hope. Ms Coulter might agree. The 60% of Whites who gave Romney 90% of his votes are the only constituency who give a faint damn about non-Liberal policies. Our numbers are shrinking. And most importantly, we have allowed ourselves to be completely silenced as a racial group.

On that front, the Afro mayor of Afro Philadelphia responded to an article that said Whites in his town were afraid to speak out and tell the truth about race by calling for a legal crackdown on the magazine that printed the story. It's like the Muslims who rioted and killed because Benedict said they were violent. Do these people have no sense of irony?

Thank God for springtime and California sunshine.

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.
