Sins of the Sister (Excerpt)

Feminism is that force in politics which enables pornographers, abortionists, womanizers, pimps and human traffickers to have their way with women. They are granted political and social cover; even a cachet that increasingly welcomes these vile practices to casual exposure and creeping approval in the popular culture.

[pullquote]beaten to death versus rent money. This is empowerment?[/pullquote]Movies like Pretty Woman portray prostitution as some sort of independent consultancy, which like many careers can pose challenges and force decisions in order to resolve conflicts. Just another job. Nothing is different, everything is relative, and women like Julia Roberts’ hooker are at their best when weighing the odds of being strangled and beaten to death versus their need for rent money. This is empowerment?

I cannot imagine a more pathetically conflicted … Continue reading

Women who Hate Women and the Men who Hate Them Too

Modern feminism is the denial of femininity.  Where women differ from men, that difference must be minimized, stamped out, obliterated.  Ridicule and derision await women who do not wish to become men.  It is as profoundly self-loathing and destructive as defending one’s abuser.  For all the supposed “wisdom” of the female half of humanity, who are supposed to be more peaceful, more thoughtful, more caring, more healthy and so forth, because of their innate connection to the next generation, we see that the cause which has taken their name is now taking their lives.

Feminism, please recall, is that force in politics which enables pornographers, abortionists, womanizers, pimps and human traffickers to do their work with political and social cover; even a cache that increasingly opens these vile … Continue reading

The New Romans

NOTE: This entire post is distilled from an excellent article at the BBC.

Republic

At the end of the second century BC the Roman people was sovereign. True, rich aristocrats dominated politics.  Yet ultimate power lay with the Roman people.  Rome prided itself on being a ‘free republic’ and centuries later was the political model for the founding fathers of the United States.

Redistribution

[pullquote]”A Republic, if you can keep it”  –Benjamin Franklin[/pullquote]Many Romans themselves put the key turning point in 133 BC. A young magistrate, Gracchus proposed to distribute to poor citizens stretches of state-owned land in Italy which had been illegally occupied by the rich.

Empire

Augustus was both canny and lucky. When he died in 14 AD, aged well over 70, he was succeeded by his stepson, … Continue reading

God of the Left

The left see judges as Solomon-like in their wisdom and more importantly, their rightful scope. Obama is a disease, but he is also a symptom. He is a willing, malicious part of the problem BECAUSE he has been educated in the halls of the left.
Of course he knows about Marbury v Madison, and he agrees that a key role of the court is judicial review of laws for Constitutionality. The problem is that he and his fellow-travellers actually see the courts as a source for progressive remedies of conservative intransigence. They believe that the courts have a duty to act as the wise king, settling the disputes of Congress the shepherd and a President the farmer.

The left has assembled a God whose existence needs neither … Continue reading

Chump

NBC, ABC, and CNN are now walking back their made-up claims of racism when pressed on their shoddy “evidence”.  NBC doctored audio–no clue how that happened.  ABC doctored video–no clue how that happened.  CNN reported their own assumptions as facts–no clue how that happened.  No clue how all of these false items pointed in the same direction.

Nobody disputes that Zimmerman shot Martin.  Yet, facts stubbornly refuse to fit the narrative of the professional race-hustlers.  Now elderly white men are being beaten by mobs who scream “This is for Trayvon”!  Too bad then that the President couldn’t keep his filthy waffle hatch shut.

Gender war, check.  Race war, check.  Class war, check.  Stay classy, Obama.

On Refusing Orders, On Contemptuous Words

The short answer is: Don’t do it.

The medium answer is: You better have your ducks in a row.

There is a whole curriculum of ethics for how to resolve discrepancies between directions when you should feel that they (discrepancies) exist. It has been many years since ROTC sessions on military ethics, but allow me to share with you my resultant set of guideposts.

[pullquote]You are expected to hold a bias that an order is lawful[/pullquote]We have a duty to not carry out, and in some cases, to resist the implementation of unlawful orders. But in assessing an order as unlawful, you take on yourself the responsibility to defend your actions before the law. That is, if you feel strongly enough that an order is unlawful, then it … Continue reading

Supreme Court On Trial

This pivotal case before the Supreme Court is a bridgehead for a conservative restoration of government.  Our government is required by law to be run according to the Constitution, not according to the counter-Constitutional wishes and dreams of progressive Supreme Court Justices.  The question is, upon which shore will this bridgehead be located?

  • If ObamaCare is upheld, then the Supreme Court demonstrates itself sufficiently unmoored by generations of complicated precedent from the plain meaning of the Constitution that it no longer has the moral authority to interpret the document.
  • If ObamaCare is struck (stricken?) down by the Court, then the full function and trend of the government stands accused of the same problem, but by the Supreme Court rather than just by the supposed “rabble” of the … Continue reading
