Minor irritations

In the process of my mom's death, two very enlightened liberal types managed to make me shake my head.

The local woman who brought Communion to her every Sunday, a very nice person of the Vatican II generation, corrected my use of "last rites" in referring to the final sacrament of anointing and laying on of hands. The woman knows my history and yet she could not refrain from instructing me that "we now call it the sacrament of the sick."

So much of liberality is compulsively and schoolmarmishly correcting everyone's not-up-to-date-lingo. Arrogant and controlling.

A family member who is also in favor of compassion and care and laws and taxes and everything else for the hordes of color, took a cheap swipe at the religion of the non-White Filipina who heroically cared for my mother in her last year. In the midst of praising this extraordinarily patient and kind woman, this person still could not refrain from trashing the faith that is a part of her motivation.

Open-mindedness and love of diversity.

Yeah.


PS. Another family member opined that we ought not to direct memorial gifts to a Catholic organization my mom donated to all her life because "some people" might not feel comfortable donating to a Catholic organization. When I asked what this meant, it was pointed out by the speaker that their workplace was Jewish.

I refrained from exploding by shutting up. How many Jews do you know who would erase their mother's religion in order to avoid offending Gentile strangers?  Would Muslims divert funds away from their charities to avoid upsetting kaffirs?

If you don't want to give to a family's religious charity, then don't.

It's the same instinct to self-erasure that has made so simple and bonding a thing as a "Merry Christmas" greeting a matter for weighty consideration.

The collapse of the West, right here in my own family.

America RIP, continued

WCBM TALKRADIO AM 680:

In a preview of what amnesty holds in store for the rest of America’s middle class and lower income workers, Chicago is putting illegal immigrants in the job pool ahead of many citizen students who would also like to have the opportunity 

In much the same way they or their parents were rewarded for violating American immigration law and given preference over those who lined up to immigrate legally, Chicago is offering internships, volunteer and job opportunities to illegal alien “dreamers.”

I can relate

A modern pope gets old school on the Devil - The Washington Post:

" ...the Rev. Cesar Truqui, an exorcist based in Switzerland, recounted one experience he had aboard a Swissair flight. “Two lesbians,” he said, had sat behind him on the plane. Soon afterward, he said, he felt Satan’s presence. As he silently sought to repel the evil spirit through prayer, one of the women, he said, began growling demonically and threw chocolates at his head. Asked how he knew the woman was possessed, he said that “once you hear a Satanic growl, you never forget it. It’s like smelling Margherita pizza for the first time. It’s something you never forget.”"

Too funny, on several levels.

A first

Today is Mothers' Day and my first with my mother not living. She died on Friday, at home, age 88. I spent the last three weeks with her, and all her kids were here.

She was quite a lady.

The vast wasteland

Aside from the PC in the programs themselves, the commercials on the television stations are nonstop relentless Potemkin village versions of the multicultural and feminist world.

Pravda could never have done better. 

Thoughts

A multi-ethnic nation-state* is a very risky proposition.

A multi-racial nation-state is insane.

---

*Any state is a risky proposition, like human life itself. But as I have been thinking lately, a nation with a unified race and culture --pretty inseparable phenomena, I think-- has to manage inevitable tragedy, while a "multicultural" nation inevitably invites catastrophe.

Camp of the Saints, next episode

700 migrants rush at Spain's border, 140 breach it - Yahoo News:

Of course, if Euros (and Americans) had balls, they'd shoot. And that would put an end to this.

It's all lack of will and nerve.


With this group, and all others like it, unless they have the certainty of your violent response, and disproportionate violence at that, they will eventually overcome you. Your failure to over-react will be read as weakness --which it is-- and will just embolden them.

People who think that civilized societies can be protected by civilized means know no history. And no human nature.

Those angry "racist" mobs we have been trained so to condemn were actually the first response of a healthy immune system to an invading virus.

The humanitarian Whites will die along with their scruples and the Coloreds will laugh at them in contempt.

And they'll deserve it.
