A nice piece by Mr. Duke. Clearly, we have a very similar attitude toward politicians. I think the title is a bit off, because the reason should be known by anyone who reflects upon human nature. But clearly few people do. Power hungry fiendsI particularly like his observation about people not being able to think outside their own experience. This lack of imagination is one of the main reasons people are so easily fooled. So maybe the article's title is not so wrong.

How many examples of the left infecting and ruining everything, do we need? People need to wake up fast and pay attention. Evil never sleeps. Even in rural Tennessee

Is there any more stark example of a country in decline than this? It is a fundamental reason the country is on a downward slope, and why the elites want more immigrants. Too many Americans are basically useless. And while it is true that the country needs to let parents have "school choice" it is equally true that unless parents get involved with their children's education, "choice" will mean very little.

Angelo Codevilla died a day or so ago. To my mind, he was the best conservative-public-intellectual writer in the USA; even better than Victor David Hanson. The link is to what might be his last piece. Angelo Codevilla He is probably most famous for The Ruling Class . I have not read the book, but have read articles which take from it. There is one in The American Spectator which deals with the American ruling class. I think it is about time I pick the book up.

"There is nothing new under the sun" or "been there done that" or "the more things change, the more they stay the same" or "sounds familiar."
Romans 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of those who by their wickedness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse; 21 for though they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools; 23 and they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling a mortal human being or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind and to things that should not be done. 29 They were filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, craftiness, they are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, rebellious toward parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 They know God's decree, that those who practice such things deserve to die — yet they not only do them but even applaud others who practice them.

The entire pursuit of Darwinism has little to do with science and everything to do with providing an alternative insight or intuition as to why things (particularly highly complex biological things) exist. Despite his generally dishonest books and presentations, Richard Dawkins expressed it best when he said, "Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist."
Note that "things evolved" is always a sort of spiritual gloss thrown over a biological feature. But no one has ever shown (aside from small and understandable mutations that are within the realm of random chance) how something evolved (other than aspects of micro evolution). It's just assumed that it did. Biologist themselves, when actually studying complex biological systems, find more power in the idea that something is designed in order to fulfill a function. That is, their work is not at all enhanced, forwarded, or in any way enlightened by the assumption of things evolving through blind chance.
It is a hypnotic-like mantra within "science" that you should always be on guard against seeing design in nature, for it is supposedly an illusion. They need that mantra because the natural and logical position is to assume something more than random chance. "His divine nature has been understood and seen through the things he has made."
I'm not a mindless fan of the Intelligent Design advocates. But it is a logical alternative explanation. And it draws power from the very fact that Darwinism has not explained how complex biological forms came into being, nor is there any reason, in principle, to suppose that it ever can.
But it's a messy proposition in either case. I agree, in one aspect, with Charles Darwin: "What a book a devil's chaplain might write on the clumsy, wasteful, blundering, low, and horribly cruel work of nature!" Yes, life is hard. Life lives by killing and eating other life. Suffering is inherent to living. There is no sugar-coating that. On the other hand, not one Darwinist has every designed a biological system that works that is less clumsy, less wasteful, or less blundering. In fact, biological systems show the work of some genius in their remarkable efficiency.
So...that's the inherent dishonesty of Darwinists. They are emotionally and intellectually committed to non-God no matter what evidence is before them. They are, in fact, atheist fundamentalists.
As for the mystery of life and all existence, we have no scientific answer to that. Maybe Romans is literally as good as we have right now.

Speaking of which, I repeat my old piece from Stubborn Things.
Atheistic Fundamentalists
by Kung Fu Zu 8/28/13
The one thing which stands out about such radical atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, et al, is their complete lack of humility. I am not talking about the holding-your-candle-under-a-bushel type of humility. I mean the type of humility which comes from understanding the vastness of creation. I mean the type of humility which realizes that mortals are limited in what they know.
And even types such as Dawkins and Hitchens, who appear to be so exalted in their own minds, don’t know, and can’t know, the answers to the greatest questions in life. I am referring to the type of humility which realizes there is a reason that, throughout history, people have felt the need to search for something greater than and superior to themselves.
These radical atheists have the temerity to explain this away by saying that the masses are deluded and they, the anointed, aren’t. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? Lenin thought the masses needed a vanguard to lead them to the future as well.
Some radical atheists will say many religious leaders lack humility as well. But what these purveyors of nothingness and their cohorts don’t seem to understand is that most people are looking for hope and meaning. It is not arrogance which is driving them.
In the end, these atheistic fundamentalists could do themselves and the rest of us a favor. Show a little humility because, contrary to what they seem to think, on the big questions, they really don’t know any more than anyone else. And they really aren’t any better than the rest of us. They simply have bigger voids in their spirits.

No one likes to have their deepest beliefs questioned. But the prickliness of atheists is highly suggestive that these supposedly higher-thinking people are just a retread of the very kind of unthinking fundamentalism that they purport to transcend.

They simply have bigger voids in their spirits. Among the Hasidium the traditions exists, to this day that the greatest gift a parent can give the child is compassion. In some families that is taught with silence. Other then necessary conversation the parent generally the father, has little to say then teaching Torah. I think this is an unusual tool but it is known to develop a real soul in the child, often, some say one of the Righteous 13 that G-d spares the world to favor.

There appears to be some hope for America. This has to do with a child-porn case. Visa can be sued

This is the type of dishonest garbage with which we are constantly being hosed. Another attack on Christianity, and a stupid one at that. Does this idiot woman that motherhood across Asia, most of which is not Christian is based on Christianity? Some may believe that a society, which spews this type of satanic puke, is worth defending, but I don't. It must be fought at every turn. Buzz off kid

Anyone who has seen a new mother in the hospital hold her newborn in her arms does not need to question the maternal instinct. This cunt bitch is just denying nature and doing so with all the usual Leftist baloney. What a destructive whore.

Also, there is a difference between a maternal instinct and motherhood being easy. Motherhood is decidedly not easy which is why having a father in the home is essential. Did the writer note that possible the difficulty some women face is because they don't have a father at home?
And there's a paternal instinct as well. I think most men (not the soy-boys they raise nowadays with the "man" leeched out of them) would risk throwing themselves in front of a speeding bus to save a child that wasn't their own. It's just instinct.
Of course, many wouldn't. And many women are horrible mothers. But given that human babies are totally dependent upon their mothers for years, unless the mother has a strong attachment to that child, that child will not likely survive. The maternal instinct is real and vital. An honest writer who wasn't a cunt might point out the fact that the #1 goal of feminism is to suppress that maternal instinct...even to the point of killing one's own children in the womb...in order to serve the power goals of feminism.

When we were young there were a lot of words you could not say in front of a girl or women. Now we can say all the words but we can't say girl or women. Isn't progress wonderful?
