ex cathedra: It's hard to be consistent

It's hard to be consistent

Reading about a judge who struck down the legislated ban on same-sex marriage in Oklahoma on grounds that it violates the US Constitution...whose penumbras and emanations apparently cover that ~~ten-minutes old~~ fundamental universal human right.

Made me think of the liberal Protestant scripture scholars who demanded that we read texts in (their reconstruction of) their original meaning, uncontaminated by our self-interested "denominational" concerns. And were then replaced by the hordes of gender-race-class interpreters.

I wonder how many of them would apply the same originalist reading to the Constitution?

Heh.

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.
