Advice From an Old Man

Of the many things lost during the Cultural Revolution of the 60s, one which stands out to me the most is the dearth of colloquial “old man” wisdom which used to prevail.  Call it the cult of immaturity – Baby Boomers worship childishness, and being mature and “set in your ways” is viewed as a failure, rather than as having a solid foundation upon which to build a life.  We have a culture of material optimism, and spiritual pessimism – “One person can’t change the world – and stop being so negative, pointing out all the flaws with my plan!”...

The Corporate Boyfriend – A Testimony

A while back I posted a video titled “The Corporate Boyfriend” in which I described the manipulative, addictive nature that many corporate jobs hold for women.  So often we hear Empowered Young Feminists talking about how much they “love their jobs.” As Men, we interpret this in the same manner that we use it: “My job is tolerable, mildly interesting, not overly demeaning, and they pay’s alright.” Men don’t enjoy working for its own sake; it’s a means to an end for us.  Aside from a lucky few, we work to live, we don’t live to work. However, when women...

The Right Continues to be Right

So I noticed this article making its way around Facebook – Obama admits that he’s a socialist. Obama himself, the Times explained, has been “longingly” telling his inner circle that what he’d really like to do is what Sen. Jay Bulworth, played by Warren Beatty in his 1998 movie “Bulworth,” did: to go public as an unabashed, angry and admitted socialist. No surprise here – and yet, I seem to remember a lot of Liberal snark going around when Republicans, Libertarians, Tea Baggers, and Professional Bloggers pointed this out some time ago: Quite frankly, this is just another data point...

Logos and Agape: Civilization’s Foundational Theology

Theology: to most of us who’ve suffered from a modern Education it sounds like “Philosophy for the superstitious.” In reality it’s far more than that.  Theology isn’t some discipline intended only for the musings of celibate priests, any more than Economic Theory is something that only Professional Econometricians ought to understand – it’s so foundational that not only do our morals derive from it, but so too the very heuristics by which we judge morality in the first place. Quite frankly, it’s Theology that makes up the ideological DNA of all Memetics. Throughout the Manosphere and the Alt-Right there is...

Bill Burr on Bankers

“So you tell me – am I sounding crazy or am I making sense?” Let me remind you, Bill Burr is a stand up comic who rags on bratty women – and he’s talking about bankers.  Glad to hear he knows about Iceland. Add in the SSRI Bomb when the Depression really hits, and you wind up with this. Interesting times, folks, interesting times. ͼ-Ѻ-ͽ My novel My Twitter

Sunday Sermon 6

Sunday Sermon

The following post is fictious.  According to Snopes: In March 2013, shortly after Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina (now Pope Francis) was selected to succeed the retiring Pope Benedict XVI as Pope of the Catholic Church, a transcript purporting to document an unaired interview between then-Cardinal Bergoglio and an American journalist was circulated on the Internet. The transcript was originally posted to the web site of the UK’s Diocese of Salford, Nonetheless it is a beautifully written piece of fiction.  You don’t need to be a Catholic to appreciate this, you just need to be a real Man.  It’s...

Accepting Vampires for Whom They Are

This is a post about how liberalism and tolerance ruin everything.  It’s also a post about a webcomic titled The Order of the Stick, so I’ll need to take a moment to describe it to you. OotS is a masterful work by Richard Burlew, set in a universe governed by the laws of Dungeons & Dragons.  The comic’s not only hilarious, but it’s full of high drama, as well.  Burlew manages to take the cartoony nature of the good/evil alignment system and create complex, deep characters out of it, villains with understandable motivations.  The comic can go very dark at...

Even the Police State is Crumbling

For those of you unfamiliar with this story (there has been somewhat of a media blackout, after all), Keoni Galt has the full story – including why it is that so many of us feel a knee-jerk feeling of support for rogue ex-cop Chris Dorner. But to describe it in brief – Chris Dorner was an ex-military police officer in L.A., until he was fired from the job.  Which is kind of a nasty thing, to be honest – not quite as bad as a Dishonourable Discharge from the military (an Event which has quite the potential to undermine future...

A Culture of Death

My mother sat there weeping silent tears, as I thought about those twenty families who’ll never again be able to celebrate Christmas. 26 dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School; 25 murders and 1 suicide at the hands of Adam Lanza. “One of your Facebook friends,” she said, wiping her eyes, “said that you ought to write something about it.” “I should,” I replied; except hpx83 over at Save Capitalism had already beat me to it: What is ghastly about this events is not the number of dead. Hurricane Katrina was ghastly too, but not in the same way. The reason...
