Our Mission

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Succinctly summarized by T.S. Eliot:

The World is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide.

More excellent reading over at Novae Militiae, wherein I discovered this Eliot quote.

Another link from that site led me to a late 2006 post at Sobran’s, Hijacking the Conservative Movement. Find an excellent excerpt from this piece summarizing the difference between conservatives and liberals after the jump. (more…)

You Are Not Alone

If you haven’t been reading Bill Whittle’s painfully-infrequent (but always worth the wait) posts, now is THE time to start. Go read his latest two-part presentation, You Are Not Alone:

An excerpt from Part 2 (after the jump):

Fred!

Future President Thompson weighs in on gun control and it’s “sudden” relevance after last week’s tragedy.

The logic behind this attitude baffles me, but I suspect it has to do with a basic difference in worldviews. Some people think that power should exist only at the top, and everybody else should rely on “the authorities” for protection.

Supreme Court Justice != climatologist

Government must deal with greenhouse gases: US Supreme Court

“The harms associated with climate change are serious and well recognized,” said judge John Paul Stevens as the ruling was carried by five votes in favor to four against.

Reeeeally. A recent documentary “The Great Global Warming Swindle” (Google Video, YouTube, Wikipedia info) offers some of the most compelling counter arguments to the manmade global warming meme that I’ve come across in quite a while.

What makes the Supreme Court story so ridiculous is a) the idea that our esteemed USSC judges are even remotely qualified to evaluate the case for manmade global warming and then issue judicial decrees based on their evaluations and b) it makes heavy use of the idiotic “consensus of scientists” argument. I won’t even touch a), but I’ll address b) …loudly, for those of you in the cheap seats: REAL SCIENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CONSENSUS. Wake up, before it’s too late.

Quantifying cyber-pottymouths

The News Buckit takes up InstaPunks challenge:

Well, I propose an exercise to be perfomed by those who have the software and expertise to carry it out. The exercise is this: Search six months’ worth of content, posts and comments, of the 20 most popular blogs on the right and the left. The search criteria are George Carlin’s infamous “7 Dirty Words.”

I am absolutely certain that the left will far exceed the right in the number of usages of all these words, which will go a long way toward proving that it’s the right which is still concerned with ideas while it’s the left that’s obsessed with the lowest kind of hateful invective.

Anyone care to take up the challenge?

The results are interesting, to put it …diplomatically.
