ex cathedra: Finally

Finally

Finally my role as a politico-cultural commentator is being recognized.

For years now, my most popular posts have been pictures of men deshabilles. Now one of my gems of insight about the confluence of language and European high politics has surged head, reaching almost 10,000 views in the last few months.

Here it is.

Does this mean that the cyberworld is maturing at last?

I'll have to be careful where I use it, my priest uncle studied in Italy for several years, and is quite fluent. The look I would get, coming from a man who takes 1 Cor. 6:19 very seriously, would be terrifying.

I always thought that the Protestant fixation with memorizing Bible citatations was funny. The best guy of all is Jack Van Impe and his wife Rexella. Only in America.; 9:45 AM, April 28, 2013

The Protestant obsession with memorizing Scripture is odd, but perhaps no odder than Catholics knowing stories from the apocryphal gospels (betrothal of Mary, anyone?); 10:14 AM, April 28, 2013

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.
