The rules will be the same as last time. I'll see things, I'll say things. This time, I'll occasionally throw in time stamps, in the hopes that this will be readable this time. Also, unless this gets too long, I believe I'll just do the whole thing in one post.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Pregame</b></div>
<br />
CNN in Espanol? I hope they don't pander in Spanish as well... well, at least then I won't have to understand it!<br />
8;05 PM: Anderson Cooper admits Democrats are boorish.<br />
8:08 PM; "They've all come prepared." Good, then this will hopefully be better than the Republicans...<br />
8:10 PM: A half-hour pregame? Politics really are just football for nerds.<br />
8:13 PM: "We are just minutes away" 16 minutes is not equal to "minutes away."<br />
8:16 PM: "The candidates are going to try to move to the left." If Bernie Sanders were any more to the left, he'd be in Nascar...<br />
8:23 PM: "Only a few minutes away" 7 minutes is not "a few"<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Obama</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8:30 PM: His big achievement he puts out front is reforming Wall Street? But, he didn't?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
An America that's better than ever? Given the filth the Democrats have delved into recently, I can't well imagine that they could think of anything else to make it any worse.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8:33 PM: This commercial just reminds me once again that we have womens' votes to thank for the abomination that this country has become. Thanks weaker sex!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8:36 PM: Save Africa! the Commercial. Going back to my football comment, is this a debate or a Notre Dame game?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Game On</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8:40 PM: By the cheers, Clinton, then Sanders in second. O'Malley in last, just ahead of Sheryl Crow. She's got to polling at -2.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kind of surprised at how white the audience looks. Don't Black lives matter any more?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8:47 PM: Chafee drinks so sophisticated.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Man does he look happy to be there!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sounds kind of like Kasich, except actually able to string his achievements into a narrative. Kasich, take notes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"I have high ethical standards" IF you have to say it, you either don't, or this is a cover letter. Hiring managers LOVE ethical standards!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8:50 PM: Mr. Webb would be doing really well if this were still 1970's America. Pretty sure Dems are no longer the party of "working" people. More like welfare people.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8:53 PM: O'Malley: "There are a lot of things I do better than other people." Somebody's been taking notes from Trump!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"70% of people are earning less than they were before..."...because of the things I just lauded before.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8:55 PM: Was liking Sanders until just about now. Scientists have been unanimous about a lot of things that later turned out to be false.Science is only settled until somebody thinks up better science.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8:58 PM: Eliminating our country's main source of energy and raising taxes will improve our economy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"And joined the rest of the world!" I bet Africa, Asia, and Latin America don't have paid family leave. Why so Eurocentric Senator Clinton?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Concern Trolling</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:02 PM: Let the talking over moderators begin...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:04 PM: I'll let Senator Sanders ruminate over what separates America from Europe. What indeed?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:07 PM: "Aversion to foreign entanglements" Keep talking Chafee... that's the good stuff!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:09 PM: Nice dodge, O'Malley.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:11 PM: And Anderson Cooper admits that nonwhites are shameless tribalists. Also, Webb just heartily pissed off all non-African seekers of gibsmedats.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Waving the Bloody Shirt</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:12 PM: Cooper getting a little salty here.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wait, so Sanders is actually not that anti-gun? The sad thing is, by today's standards, he's not all that bad of a candidate. He's got my vote over <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18.2px;">¡</span>Jeb! at least.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:17 PM: O'Malley is shocked that people exist outside cities. And again, the socialist is the MOST REASONABLE man there.... well except Webb, but sadly he probably doesn't count.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:20 PM: Really, Senator Webb showed a lot more balls than most of the Republican field would in this venue.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Putin on the Ritz</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9;22 PM: Oh but Russia is part of the solution to the conflict, Senator Clinton, just not the solution you want.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:23 PM: Senator Sanders, stop making sense!!! You understand who you're talking to, right? They'll never understand!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:25 PM: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority">Appeal to authority</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:26 PM: Presumably President Sanders would use force if someone broke into his house. With his gun. The way it should be. Also, apparently whenever it kills Serbian Christians (9:27).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:29 PM: O'Malley looks at Hillary when he contradicts her. +1. Also, he thinks that <b>Assad</b> invaded <b>Syria...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:31 PM: A weak little "<span style="font-size: xx-small;">thankyou</span>" isn't going to do it Cooper.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:32 PM: "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ht6gSClAzo">Body language</a>"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:33 PM: Senator Sanders clearly zoned out. Just like me! He's really doing a good job of making me almost like him.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:35 PM: "I'll get to that" (and what difference does it make?)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:36 PM: Webb expects the President to request Congressional approval for war? Why it's almost like he thinks America has a Constitution!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:38 PM: The only two semi-sane guys up there are "good friend[s]" Shocker.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"War should be the last resort" Sage words these.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:39 PM: Chafee has an interesting way of speaking.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:40 PM: "Our greatest ally, Israel" Not Britain, Senator Webb? Not France, who won America her independence? The guys we send billions of dollars a year to for, well, nothing, are our GREATEST ALLY?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:41 PM: "The planet we leave...may not be habitable" So where exactly do you think that carbon came from, Senator Sanders? Also, if carbon could make the planet uninhabitable, then how in the world did plants manage to sequester it in the first place, the planet obviously having been uninhabitable before that?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Benghazi</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:45 PM: Cooper: The fact that you've dodged responsibility for things in the past, what does that say about your ability to deal with crises in the future? Clinton: It says I'll be able to dodge responsibility then too!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9;47 PM: Keep talking, never apologize. This is how you win.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:48 PM: Yeah, I'm pretty tired of hearing about the emails as well. It's like the GOP thinks we still live in a country with rule of law and ethical standards. Fools.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:50 PM: "Senator Clinton, do you want to respond?""No." LULZ! It's worth noting right now that the Democrats are a lot more polished, both in what they say, and how they say it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:50 PM: O'Malley's Disco Inferno.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Comparative Value of Black Lives</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:51 PM: Black guy wants white people to say that their lives are irrelevant. ...So why should I care about you peoples' civil rights again?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:52 PM: O'Malley tries to dodge arguing for his own genocide.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:54 PM: Webb just pissed off millions of blacks and he doesn't have a clue. I can sense the "I can't believe!" and "I don't even" and "2015!" wafting from Salon and Tumblr as I speak...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Income Inequality</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:57 PM:Free college, because it's not worth anything anyways.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:58 PM: Sanders: Damnit. Beat me to it!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9:59 PM: "The experts tell me" Hillary Trumping it up!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10:00 PM: Sanders: "That's not true" Hillary: lol. Seriously, the Dems are just a lot more personable than the GOP. They look like they are on the same side, while the GOP looks fractured and divided.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10:02 PM: "Congress doesn't regulate Wall Street, Wall Street regulates Congress." So many people hurrying to make memes right now. The website that lets you put text over pictures is probably crashing hard right about now.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10:03 PM: "We've been around a cumulative quite some period of time" Lol. Good one. Self effacing AND subconsciously suggesting that Team Dem is wise and experience. Skills. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Jeffries">Ross Jeffries</a> would be proud.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10:06 PM: Webb is really getting salty about time. Don't point out the hypocracy Webb, it doesn't work. Just take what you want. Have you learned nothing from the GOP debates?</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
10:15 PM: Fucking O'Malley is so damn smug about committing treason. It's like he's going to roll out and transform into a Prius.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10:17 PM: "Put down their ruts" Nice accent.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"I wish everyone in America could meet with these young people." All of you do. And that's why we don't have a country any more.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
10:26 PM: Senator Sanders will not be a third term of Obama because he'll start the Communist Revolution.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10:27 PM: ...And "good friend" Webb just shoots him down. The revolution will not be televised!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

10:35 PM: Senator Clinton does a good job of letting shots roll off her and refocusing peoples' attention. Again, the Dems are like the NFL to the GOP's Pop Warner.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10:36 PM: Anna Bettis is hot.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I blame the ongoing feminization of America for political candidates <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/10/11/freedom-caucus-leaders-back-paul-ryan-for-speaker/73775258/">not being able to commit</a> to say running for office or not. Shit or get off the pot! You think you look like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_Quinctius_Cincinnatus">Cincinnatus, </a>but really you just look like every other dithering politician who can't pick his nose without consulting his media team.

So a recent survey of British vegetarians conducted by <a href="http://www.vouchercodespro.co.uk/">Voucher Codes Pro</a> showed that <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/10/08/survey-vegetarians-secretly-eat-meat-drunk/73583378/">37% ate meat when drunk.</a> Given what lefties (which vegetarians often are) think alcohol does to consent, I wonder how many of those surveyed would claim the meat raped them?</div>

Some aspects of the 21st Century are so insane, so horribly disordered, that it is difficult to get out the words to comment on them. Like, for instance, <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/10/05/worlds-first-lesbian-bishop-calls-church-remove-crosses-install-muslim-prayer-space/">this story</a>, from Oliver Lane of Breitbart:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The Bishop of Stockholm has proposed a church in her diocese remove all signs of the cross and put down markings showing the direction to Mecca for the benefit of Muslim worshippers.<br />Eva Brunne, who was made the world’s first openly lesbian bishop by the church of Sweden in 2009, and has a young son with her wife and fellow lesbian priest Gunilla Linden, made the suggestion to make those of other faiths more welcome."</blockquote>
A million retorts clog my throat, vying desperately with each other to get out. One piously points out,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."(1 Corinthians 1:18)</blockquote>
One less reverent wonders if this so-called "Church of Sweden" is a Christian Church at all, or merely a means for smug Scandinavian liberals to sanctify their socialism? A third voice genuinely wonders how many of the <a href="http://biblehub.com/1_timothy/3.htm">Biblical requirements for the office of bishop</a> this woman meets? I mean, <b>she</b> by sex fails the easy one. And a whole cacophony behind these merely wail and curse in rage at what has become of a once great civilization.<br />
<a name='more'></a>And it only gets worse:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Calling Muslim guests to the church “angels“, the Bishop later took to her official blog to explain that removing Christian symbols from the church and preparing the building for Muslim prayer doesn’t make a priest any less a defender of the faith. Rather, to do any less would make one “stingy towards people of other faiths”."</blockquote>
Angel, from the Greek "ἄγγελος", properly means only messenger. And indeed, the Muslim invaders of the West have bourne the most important of messages as to how far we've rotted from the men who routed the Turks at the Gates of Vienna, or the seas of Lepanto, the anniversary of which victory we had the chance to celebrate not too long past. They are indeed messengers of God, bearing the Divine message of Matthew 7:6,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."</blockquote>
Sweden, of course, is <a href="http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5195/sweden-rape">being so torn as we speak</a>.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The bishop insisted this wasn’t an issue, after all airports and hospitals already had multi-faith prayer rooms, and converting the dockyard church would only bring it up to speed."</blockquote>
How a Church (I may be being generous with the capitalization here) appoints someone who views it not as the living body, hands, and voice of Jesus, the Living God, but as a mere instrumentality, a simple incident of the landscape, like an airport or a hospital, is beyond belief. The Churches are in the hands of those who hate them!<br />
<br />
Man, European, Christian, you are being thrown out of the societies and institutions your fathers built. In your indolence and apathy, everything sacred is blasphemed, everything valuable debased, and everything loved, raped before your eyes. Now is the time to fight back! Otherwise the likes of this "bishop" will oversee our final decline.<br />

<br />
To quote Mark Molloy's somewhat tongue-in-cheek article of October 6, 2015 in the Telegraph:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Chris McCann, leader of the eBible fellowship and all-round God expert, believes the world will be engulfed and destroyed by a great fire on October 7.<br />The founder of the fellowship has been delivering his Doomsday warnings in his five-part podcast series, Why October 7, 2015, is the likely end of the world.<br />“According to what the Bible is presenting, it does appear that October 7 will be the day that God has spoken of,” he explains.</blockquote>
I don't recall that part of the Bible. Remind me of how Bronze Age Hebrews used the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar">Gregorian calendar</a>.<br />
<a name='more'></a> Of course, assuming that this guy has seen <a href="http://www.karaite-korner.org/new_moon.shtml">every new moon</a> for the past 2000 years, he might be able to make whatever he claims as a Biblical date line up. So Mr. McCann, are you a vampire or a liar?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"He says it will be the day Earth “passes away”, adding: 'It’ll be gone forever. Annihilated.'"</blockquote>
Gone forever might be overstating it a bit:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea." (Revelation 21:1)</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind." (Isaiah 65:17)</blockquote>
Mr. McCann tries to hedge:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The modern-day prophet concluded “there is a strong likelihood” the world will end, but offered the disclaimer: “there’s an unlikely possibility that it will not""</blockquote>
And how, exactly, does the Holy One regard such hedging?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?" If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed."(Deuteronomy 18:21-22)</blockquote>
And, to cut to the chase, if we back up one verse...<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death." (Deuteronomy 18:20)</blockquote>
You can see in this passage a parallel to Deuteronomy 13, which demands the death penalty for those who attempt to draw you off to the worship of gods other than Yahweh. False prophecy is the other side of the coin, the push to Deuteronomy 13's pull. Lying in God's name delegitimizes Him before those who would otherwise believe, potentially costing their souls.<br />
<br />
This world would have you believe that any attention is good attention. God's word clearly states otherwise. Christ Himself rejects date-setting, and God rejects the false prophet. Let liars take heed.</div>

President Barack Obama, for his many flaws, has actually <a href="http://www.latimes.com/world/la-fg-obama-syria-russia-20151002-story.html">not been all bad</a>. And as much as he will eventually have to answer for, his unwillingness to commit to a ground war has, without a doubt, saved innumerable American lives. The sad fact is, no matter how bad the past eight years have been, they could have been worse.<br />
<br />
Now President Obama certainly suffers from no fewer delusions than the rest of his set:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Iran and Assad make up Mr. Putin’s coalition at the moment. The rest of the world makes up ours"</blockquote>
Nonetheless, delusions like these, almost universally held by the chattering classes, become somewhat more forgivable in the face of this admission:<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"This is not some superpower chessboard contest."</blockquote>
It is this quote that sums up the great silver lining of the Obama administration. Possibly from some remaining bit of conscience, possibly from the memory of how hated his predecessor was because of his wars, or even possibly from a simple unwillingness to pull the trigger, President Barack Hussein Obama has kept us out of war.<br />
<br />
And yes, the last eight years have seen an unprecedented amount of moral decay, feminist lunacy, Black beligerancy, and Aztec <i>Reconquista</i>. All this is true. But Obama, for all of his disdain for Whites and Christians, still has maintained some level of humanity, a tiny shred of humility that is absent in many of his peers. In our excitement that his reign is drawing to a close, let us still be careful that we don't do still worse in replacing him. </div>

I hardly thought it possible, but Paul Goldman and Mark J Rozell at Politico have uncovered <b><i>yet another way</i></b> in which <a href="http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/10/illegal-immigrants-could-elect-hillary-clinton-213216">the 14th Amendment is destroying America</a>. History repeating again as farce, that worst of all Amendments has reenacted the Three Fifths Compromise in reverse: allowing illegal immigrants to count in apportioning seats in the House and Electoral College. These states, being leftist, will allow in more illegals and gain even more illicit power allowing them to finalize their election of a new American people.<br />
<br />
It should be clear by now that the game is rigged. You cannot win a game against someone willing to cheat at every turn. With each move, they gain in the margins, until their advantage is overwhelming. What do you do when you can no longer win the game? The answer, of course, is to stop playing.<br />
<br />
Society is a game, a series of ritualized interactions. But games and rituals can changed, their seeming permanence only lasting as long as their rules work for the players. Just how long do <i style="font-weight: bold;">you </i>think Americans will play a losing hand?</div>

Unfortunately, it is, for some unknown reason, utterly impossible to embed Fox News video onto Blogger. As such, you're just going to have to click over to view <a href="http://video.foxnews.com/v/4522177655001/marco-rubio-on-putins-power-play-in-syria/?#sp=show-clips">this video</a> the old fashioned way.<br />
Luckily that means when you vomit, it won't be all over my blog.<br />
<br />
If you didn't click over, I'll sum it up. Senator Marco Rubio, one of the many GOP candidates for president is unhappy about Russia's intervention in Syria. It seems that Senator Rubio would rather that it were American lives being wasted in the great Middle Eastern quagmire, And why is Senator Rubio so incensed about Russia's intervention in a war thousands of miles away from America's borders?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"It diminishes America's importance!"<br />
<a name='more'></a></blockquote>
I've said it before, and I'll likely say it again: the political class treats international politics like a game of Europa Universalis IV. Their goal is to outmaneuver their rivals, at any cost of money or manpower, but it's no more serious than an autumn afternoon on the gridiron. How would you like to lose your life for someone else's inflated sense of importance?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The message they're [Russia] sending, they're actually more reliable than America under Barack Obama."</blockquote>
America hasn't been <a href="http://www.alternet.org/world/americas-coup-machine-destroying-democracy-1953">particularly reliable</a> before Barack Obama either, <a href="http://williamblum.org/essays/read/overthrowing-other-peoples-governments-the-master-list">except in creating chaos</a>.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"But, most importantly, to replace America as the most important outside power broker in the region, and that's the purpose of these air strikes." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"We're beginning to look like a junior partner under Barack Obama."</blockquote>
And again, who cares? I'll bet we're also low-ranked in international cricket and competitive Starcraft. You have to pick your battles, and who in their right mind would pick any in Araby?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"He's an anti-American thug, in the Middle East, always acted against our national interests"</blockquote>
What national interests? Moreover, what nation? Bashar al-Assad is not planning to flood my home with either Mexicans or Syrians, unlike some people I could mention. This makes him less of a threat to <b>my</b> national interests than most of the people running for US President this year. Assad 2016?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I don't think the choice should be between Assad or ISIS, I think they both need to go."</blockquote>
<br />
I feel World War II was the same way. Probably a lot of things are. You cannot simply wish the world the way it should be: there are costs for everything. Sometimes the cost is too high.<br />
<br />
And, should America take Rubio's advice, the cost will be twice as high. Where President Putin is intervening to prop up his ally, President Bashar al-Assad, Team America World Police has the somewhat incomprehensible goal of defeating every party actually on the ground in Syria in favor of a liberal opposition that nobody has actually seen. We've actually made a foreign policy out of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman">No True Scotsman</a>.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Don't join the military. The American State views you as manpower, a renewable resource. You, the individual soldier, are less valuable to your leaders than some hypothetical lives over in Syria. No, not even that, less valuable than some point of abstract post-war principle that some weapons are <b>bad</b> and others, namely the ones that we use, though no less brutal, are not. This slavish adherence to arbitrary rules is only "principle" that has survived our newly Godless world, and its a principle that leads to senseless destruction for all who hold to it.<br />
<br />
Of course, Rubio just plans on <a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/International/Marco_Rubio_Immigration.htm">flooding this country with Mexicans to replace you</a>, so for him it's a wash.</div>

</tbody></table>
Still no. Well, I'm sick of guessing, so we'll let Mr.Sigmar Gabriel <a href="https://ca.news.yahoo.com/germany-prints-constitution-arabic-refugees-learn-095805915.html">explain in his own words...</a><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I am convinced that the first 20 articles of our constitution are what shape our culture,"</blockquote>
What?!? Really? Not, say, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Period">Völkerwanderung</a>, or the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire">Holy Roman Empire</a>, or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romantic_nationalism">Romantic Nationalism</a>, or the almost two thousand years of Germanic culture and history? A sheet of paper <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Law_for_the_Federal_Republic_of_Germany">adopted in 1949 while Germany was under occupation by her enemies</a> defines the German nation?!? What an insult! Were I at all German, I would be mortified!<br />
<br />
But, before making our final judgment, let's give the German constitution, and Mr. Gabriel, <a href="http://www.servat.unibe.ch/icl/gm00000_.html">a chance, shall we?</a><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Article 1 [Human Dignity]<br />(1) Human dignity is inviolable. To respect and protect it is the duty of all state authority.<br />(2) The German People therefore acknowledge inviolable and inalienable human rights as the basis of every human community, of peace, and of justice in the world.<br />(3) The following basic rights are binding on legislature, executive, and judiciary as directly valid law.</blockquote>
Ok, that looks like rather unimpressive modernist gibberish to me. Maybe it is just suffering from the translation? Let's move on...<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Article 2 [Liberty]<br />(1) Everyone has the right to free development of his personality insofar as he does not violate the rights of others or offend against the constitutional order or morality.<br />(2) Everyone has the right to life and to physical integrity. The freedom of the person is inviolable. Intrusion on these rights may only be made pursuant to a statute.<br /><br />Article 3 [Equality]<br />(1) All humans are equal before the law.<br />(2) Men and women are equal. The state supports the effective realization of equality of women and men and works towards abolishing present disadvantages.<br />(3) No one may be disadvantaged or favored because of his sex, parentage, race, language, homeland and origin, his faith, or his religious or political opinions. No one may be disadvantaged because of his handicap.</blockquote>
Ok, I see Liberté and égalité. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libert%C3%A9,_%C3%A9galit%C3%A9,_fraternit%C3%A9">Where's fraternité</a>? Three articles in, and we've hit a massive slew of warmed over Enlightenment crap from the French Revolution, likely with a stopover in the United States somewhere along the way. The "responsibility before God" recited in the Preamble has been long forgotten as the German State seeks to assault the Divinely created differences between man and woman, as is their responsibility before men, as the German state throws away its historic character and Faith for American "proposition nation" bullshit.<br />
<br />
In short, this is an anti-German Germany, a German State that does not exist for the sake of German culture or the German people. Thus Mr.Gabriel's shaped culture is the negation of culture, not the promoter of it. The nations of the West are allowed nothing more than a suicide pact and a bundle of lies for a Constitution and the hatred of those who usurp them. All White countries are interchangable, and exist only to be consumed by the Marxist revolution.<br />
<br />
For too long, we've bought the proposition, and lost the nation. God willing, as the West begins to see what was really proposed, we'll have second thoughts...</div>

When I was a child, I used to love the <i>Left Behind</i> books. They painted a picture of a world in which the Christian Faith, so dominant in my upbringing, had been divested of its prominence, stigmatized, and eventually openly persecuted. The days of the early Church, of martyrs and prophets, were re-imagined in the modern world, as God made His last desperate attempts to offer salvation to a people whose hearts grew cold.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
As one who has always had his difficulties with the Christian message of love and service, the idea of being a part of the Philadelphian Church, who must merely, "have kept My word and have not denied My name" (Revelation 3:8) was very appealing. The message to Philadelphia:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name." (Revelation 3:11,12)</blockquote>
is a lot more positive, and looks to take a lot less work than the order sent to my proper Church, that of Laodicea:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see."</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me." (Revelation 3:15-20)</blockquote>
Repentance just seems like so much effort, you know?<br />
<br />
Well, it seems as though I might just get my wish. Why God granted this one, and not the one with the supermodels, I do not know. The fact is that we now live in a country that has headlines such as these: "<a href="http://www.11alive.com/story/news/local/2015/09/01/school-district-investigating-mass-baptism-football-practice/71515306/">School investigating mass baptism at football practice</a>." A country in which a message opposing <a href="http://www.numberofabortions.com/">mass murder an an unprecedented scale</a> is considered <a href="http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2015/09/11/office-depot-defends-employees-refusal-to-make-copies-of-anti-abortion-hate-material/">"Hate Material"</a> because it invokes the Christian God. Where adherence to the sanctity of the Christian Sacraments is sufficient to send a <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/04/politics/kentucky-clerk-same-sex-marriage-kim-davis/">public official to jail.</a> If Christianity is not yet openly persecuted in the States, it is certainly disfavored.<br />
<br />
Of course, merely looking at it from a domestic perspective ignores America's actions on the world stage. These are far more alarming. From the <a href="http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/how-the-iraq-war-became-a-war-on-christians/">destruction of Middle Eastern Christianity</a> to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo_War">bombing of Orthodox Christians in Kosovo</a>, the United States has unambiguously fought against Christianity for decades.<br />
<br />
In the face of this, American Christians still miss the obvious: the United States is unambiguously the enemy of the Christian religion. Endless is the chorus of American Christian voices advocating the restoration of America, saying that we must<a href="http://genius.com/522391"> make America strong</a>. Heaven forbid!<br />
<br />
The fact is, America, even if its worst abuses could be curbed, <a href="http://www.wkyt.com/home/headlines/Rowan-County-clerk-Kim-Davis-to-appear-in-federal-court-Thursday-324091781.html">would still be an impediment</a> to the living of the Christian Faith.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Bunning [the judge who imprisoned Davis] acknowledged the role that religion can play in someone's life, but said that should not interfere with their ability to do their job. The judge said he is Catholic and the Catholic church says you must have an annulment before you can get remarried. He asked Davis: What would prevent a Catholic clerk from not issuing a marriage license to a divorced person?"</blockquote>
In this case what is preventing him appears to be a mixture of<a href="http://pravdazvitazi.blogspot.com/2015/09/philadelphia-and-laodicea.html"> Laodicean apathy </a>and the worship of Mammon instead of Christ. "Just do your job!" "<a href="http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2006/12/20/9281/bush-shopping/">Go shopping more!</a>" These are little more than snares in which we are caught. Read Christ's message to Laodicea again: simply going along, "doing ones' job" isn't good enough.<br />
<br />
Americanism has long taken on aspects of being a unique faith. For a long time, this faith coexisted with the Christian one, evoking concepts of the "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_upon_a_Hill">city on a hill</a>" or a <a href="http://www.ucg.org/the-good-news/the-colonial-view-of-america-as-a-new-israel">"New Israel."</a> Although many of the values of Americanism: Deism, Liberalism, Tolerance, and the deification of Science, <a href="http://www.iep.utm.edu/amer-enl/">were of Enlightenment, not Christian vintage</a>, nonetheless a <i>modus vivendi </i>could be had between them.<br />
<br />
However as the Church wanes and the Enlightenment metastasizes, Americanism has begun to more vigorously assert its claims. It openly asserts its goal to remove Christianity from public life, which means to take its place in the allegiances of its citizens. And thus the Church returns once more to Rome, to an empire that will brook no competition with it's claim to divine supremacy. But neither will our Lord:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me."(Exodus 20:2,3)</blockquote>
On this day, the battle lines have become clear and we must choose who to stand with. Let us all say to the great deciever, "[...]as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh."(Joshua 24:15)</div>
Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795538218007924906.post-72716867186706120892015-09-26T06:56:00.000-07:002015-09-26T07:01:06.868-07:00Independence for Catalonia, Independence for All<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The Catalan people will soon face a unique opportunity: the chance to take tangible steps towards joining the community of independent nations. Most nations to gain this privilege have only done so by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_Wars">force of arms and the blood of their countrymen</a>. Determination and faith will be required of them nonetheless.<br />
<br />
Not surprisingly, the leaders of the West's unsustainable multinational empires are <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/catalonia-vote-fierce-independence-row-spain-085846258.html">against this move</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"US President Barack Obama and British premier David Cameron, among others, have called for Spain to stay united."</blockquote>
I would assume if<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_I_of_Austria"> Blessed Kaiser Karl of Austria</a> could be reached from beyond the grave, he also would oppose this measure, along with a majority of the final Emperors of Rome.<br />
<br />
This alone should be enough to give the Catalans direction. If those who have turned their States into an endless misery of racial violence and hatred, of political and religious persecution, desire that you do one thing, it would be most wise to do the other. The Leader of the Slave World is not at all to be trusted.<br />

In marked contrast to today, there was a time when America actually stood up for the freedom of peoples instead of seeking to further bind their chains. During my study abroad, I was very surprised that the first thing I saw getting off the train in Praha hlavní nádraží was a memorial dedicated to President Woodrow Wilson. (Note: this was around the time that Glenn Beck was savaging him as the Antichrist every night on Fox News)<br />

President Wilson's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Points#The_Fourteen_Points">Fourteen Points</a> were a master work, a road map to a sustainable international order of respect for all peoples. Not only Czechoslovakia, but the majority of Central and Eastern Europe benefited from their wisdom. Reproduced below in part, notice the beauty of each of these submerged peoples rising from their slumber into the life of nations, each line being a new and unique July Fourth, a gift of the old American Dream to a grateful world:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"IX. A re-adjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nationality.<br />X. The people of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity to autonomous development.<br />XI. Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro should be evacuated; occupied territories restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; and the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly counsel along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality; and international guarantees of the political and economic independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan states should be entered into.<br />XII. The Turkish portion of the present Ottoman Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations under international guarantees.<br />XIII. An independent Polish state should be erected which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea, and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant."</blockquote>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It must be noted what they did not do. Floating around before the war were a number of proposals to create a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_of_Greater_Austria">United States of Greater Austria</a> in which the nations of Central Europe, though freer, would still be bound to the power and benefit of one leader. Wilson rejected this, and rightly so: disparate nations bound together in such a way would not bring peace, but only a struggle for dominance over the others. (much as the Hungarians, getting their autonomy from German dominance within the Empire, turned around and used it to viciously suppress the Slovaks and other minorities in the Kingdom) Such an act, rather than making peace, merely means the games begin in earnest, as anyone in identity politics-ravaged America can tell you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nations bound together will only seek to exploit one another. The American North to the American South; Germans and Hungarians over Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenes, Poles, Ukrainians, Croatians, and Romanians; Serbia over the South Slavs, and American Blacks and Hispanics over American Whites. This is not a unique mark of evil upon these exploitative populations, but merely human nature. If man can take from the other, he will: egalitarianism merely makes for an easy mark.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Left tells us that they will change human nature, that such exploitation is merely the transition to "<a href="http://www.nyu.edu/projects/ollman/docs/vision_of_communism.php">pure communism</a>" in which such things will pass away, that the past and the present hold no lessons for us. But reason tells us to pay heed. Man is what he is, but even given that, we may still create a better world. Not through the gnosticism of the Cultural Marxist, but with the opened eyes of the Alternative and Traditional Rights may some measure of peace be brought to this world.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And Catalonia can take the first step. They can lead a new birth of nations, like the fall of Austria-Hungary, like the disintegration of Yugoslavia, like the end of the Soviet Union. Let them find their courage, and let us be brave enough and wise enough to follow.</div>

Bruce Jenner will be, quite literally, <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2015/09/23/caitlyn-jenner-not-prosecuted-manslaughter-criminal-fatal-car-crash-d-a/">getting away with murder</a>. However, when you consider the <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/06/caitlyn-jenner-bruce-cover-annie-leibovitz">price he paid</a> to do so, I wonder if prison might not have been a better alternative. If you are famous and, more importantly, if you are useful, you are above the law in the West. If, on the other hand, <a href="https://news.vice.com/article/video-shows-cops-pulling-gun-on-indiana-couple-driving-to-hospital-to-give-birth?preview&cb=v1443034851121">you are not</a>... Well, I'm sure Indiana will be much safer without the high treason of a broken taillight breaching domestic tranquility.<br />
<br />
Of course, how you do depends on how much murder you commit. Realistically, Bruce Jenner only committed one negligent homicide. This merely entitles him to be feted throughout the media, and his peculiar sexual fetish declared to be bedrock truth. If, however, you are responsible for <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/08/08/illegal-alien-crime-accounts-for-over-30-of-murders-in-some-states/">7085 murders</a>, you might just be anointed <a href="http://freebeacon.com/issues/obama-admin-plans-more-executive-action-on-immigration/">President of the United States</a>.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
When you impose someone with no right to be in your country upon that country's citizens against their will and that alien commits a crime, that crime is on you. Why? Because that crime would not have affected your people without your active invitation of the criminal into your lands. Under the common law, that makes you an accessory before the fact (Although some of our politicians are <a href="http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-dhs-documents-show-260-criminal-illegal-aliens-criminals-released-in-arizona-in-just-three-weeks/">accessories after the fact</a> as well).<br />
<br />
In economics, such an action brings about what is called a <i>negative externality</i>. That is, a malus associated with the action which does not impact the actor. As he is thus immune to this malus, he will commit said act (along with its hidden downside) more often than he should given its effects on the total well-being of the community.<br />
<br />
TLDR: Because our elites don't suffer our pain, we have to <i>make</i> them hurt.</div>
Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795538218007924906.post-45258619976911331542015-09-19T20:39:00.003-07:002015-09-19T20:39:44.017-07:00Debate #2: Winners and Losers<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
As promised, and as done with the first debate, below are the ranked performances of the GOP contenders in the second main stage debate. I promise you, you likely won't believe who came out on top...<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1) Huckabee</b></div>
Being a contrarian, I had to pick the person on the absolute bottom of the Drudge Poll as my best debater of the night. Huckabee spoke naturally and intelligently, without any of the affected airs that other candidates put on. Being on stage was no different for him than being on his show, just another day in the office.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, he had some significant weaknesses as well. First,<a href="http://pravdazvitazi.blogspot.com/2015/09/gop-main-stage-debate-2-stream-of.html"> as both I</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/anncoulter/status/644346473304453120">and Ann Coulter</a>, have stated before, at times he sounded more like he was trying to be Prime Minister Netanyahu, than President of the United States. Secondly, a primary is a competition. He needs to attack his opponents, not try to conciliate them. This seems to be a failing characteristic of Baby Boomers, and while it might play well to them, it is absolute poison to other demographics. The world is in crisis, and America needs a fighter, not a diplomat, to face it.<br />
<br />
All in all though, Governor Huckabee is still the best debater of the field. While his candidacy will never be the beneficiary of a media windfall like those of Dr. Carson and Mrs. Fiorina, and he still suffers from extremely low polls, if Huckabee can stick around through the cull and learn from the successes of his opposition, he has the ability to become a top tier candidate.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2) Fiorina</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sadly, even a contrarian can only go so far. As much as I hate jumping on any bandwagon, and as justified as <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2015/09/18/scott_walker_media_would_have_declared_carly_the_winner_no_matter_what.html">Scott Walker's criticism</a> of the media's attempted coronation of the former HP CEO may be, Carly Fiorina still was the dominant voice in this debate. She correctly realized early on that she could easily neutralize the moderators, and simply keep talking until she had said her fill. She seemed to go double her allotted time on each question, but absent any push-back, this transgression cost her nothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ms. Fiorina's success was not merely limited to rhetoric: for the more dialectically inclined, she offered one of the few tangible plans of the night. I don't like her plans (mostly disastrously ill-informed), or her style (how's having a middle aged woman lecturing from the bully pulpit <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-08-24/merkel-blasts-anti-immigration-riots-in-eastern-germany">treating Germany</a>?), but I am forced to respect both. The boorish Trump is a crude call to the glories of of the past, while Ms. Fiorina serves a polished paragon of the feminist new era. Whether the growing dissatisfaction with the American Nightmare can overcome Ms. Fiorina's charms and Mr. Trump's failings is yet to be seen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3) Christie</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I regain a little of my indie cred with this choice. I said <a href="http://pravdazvitazi.blogspot.com/2015/08/post-debate-wrap-up.html">last debate</a> that Christie was doing surprisingly poorly, given the similarities between his style and Trump's. And while he hasn't quite stolen Trump's thunder yet, Governor Christie did a good job this debate of re-calibrating himself to the more aggressive mood prevailing in the body politic. Most of all, he was one of the few candidates on stage to act as masculine as Ms. Fiorina, which, sadly for this group, is high praise indeed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4) Cruz</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Really, there's a huge jumpoff in quality here between Christie and Cruz, but I'm going to show the Senator a little favoritism here. Cruz seemed a lot more solid here than in the last debate and almost managed to make himself look like a serious contender. Almost.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The characterizing moment of the night was when Cruz was speaking on immigration. His tenor changed, his words grew more serious, more powerful. Finally the sea change that we had longer for was coming: Mr. Trump had burst the dam, and finally the men of the West had found their courage. Senator Cruz had come into his own, and would now lead us to... <a href="http://pravdazvitazi.blogspot.com/2015/09/gop-main-stage-debate-2-stream-of_16.html">get cut off by the moderator, and slink off defeated into the darkness.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Courage is the virtue we most need to turn the tide. Courage is the virtue most lacking in the woman-men of Western Europe and its diaspora. Courage is what Cruz failed to show here. Conservatism is primarily a masculine ethos. As the spread of the red pill opens the eyes of more and more men to the birthright that feminism and <i>tolerance</i> stole from them, the masculine characteristics of courage, aggression, and strength become of greater value to a prospective leader of men. To lead men, one must be a man. For Cruz to truly serve his country and his ideals, he must settle for nothing less.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>5) Jeb</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I won't say Governor Bush did well here, because he didn't. Jeb Bush is still an utter joke of a candidate, who shows all the strength and backbone of a well-boiled noodle. His attempts to stand up to Trump are particularly pathetic, ending universally with the submissive Mr. Bush wishing for the tension to go away and an nice scratch behind the ears from the Donald.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nonetheless, Mr. Bush is trying, he really is. When not faced with his kryptonite, actually having to stand up to another person, Mr. Bush puts on a good show of being a legitimate candidate. Slowly but surely, he's finding his voice. And while the campaign trail, even the greatly lengthened one of modern times, is unlikely to give him the time to actually grow up into the man he should have been, he's giving it a good shot.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>6) Carson</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After the last debate, a good deal of talk was had about whether Dr. Carson could capitalize on his newfound exposure. He was the anti-Trump, kind where Trump was aggressive, thoughtful where Trump was stubborn, and humble where Trump was brash. This week, Dr. Carson proved the old saying: nice guys finish last.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dr. Carson was the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_B._McClellan#General-in-chief">McClellan</a> of the debate, with his high poll numbers he should have been a force to reckon with, but he mainly sat there as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleet_in_being">candidate in being</a>. Unfortunately for him, the battlefield offered many more attractive targets for the picking, and he remained mostly engaged throughout the night, and thus neutralized.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is clear that the genial Dr. Carson, despite having a few good ideas (the two-tier minimum wage plan particularly impressed me as an innovative idea that could see bipartisan support) is not the fighter that America needs at this time. Should he be nominated, he will be unable to counter the inevitable Democratic attacks. Should he survive those, he will not be tough enough to impose his will from the White House. Dr. Carson would be a new smiling face plastered over the decaying rot of our country, and the more he fails to show vigor, the more people will see that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dr. Carson's heart is in the right place, but his fists need to be as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>7)Rubio</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Rubio should really be higher here, as he did do a competent job of debating, speaking well, communicating effectively -- but I had to look him up to remember that he was in this debate. In a three hour slog of banal rhetoric, you have to do something to stand out, either for the better or the worse. Senator Rubio did neither. While he won't lose any supporters based on his performance, neither will he gain any.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While he doesn't need to resort to the hijinks of Trump or the pushiness of Fiorina, and such things would likely alienate his supporters, he needs to do something to focus attention. Unlike Cruz, Rubio doesn't suffer from hesitation, but he does suffer from being bland. As Trump did with immigration, I think Rubio's best bet to bolster his candidacy is to find one big issue that the American people are passionate about and push it zealously. Nobody has the attention span to discriminate between the fine nuances between fifteen candidates carbon-copy platforms. People do, however, know what <b>they </b>care about. Pick one issue, Senator, and let them know you care about it too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>8)Trump</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Donald Trump showed one very important thing at this week's debate: that his base of support is wholly independent of his debate performances. Mr. Trump came off as a parody of himself, making a whole slew of goofy faces and goofy comments and generally showing that he was just as bored of the whole thing in hour one as I was by hour three.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Trump started the night off with an inexplicable attack against Senator Paul who, as Trump rightly pointed out, is a non-entity. While Paul was effectively neutralized form that point on, Trump having caught him severely of-guard, the Senator was never a treat! Like Napoleon, Trump is overly aggressive, stretching himself thin and attacking wherever he sees a fight. And while the Republican field is likely to roll over just as easily as the Frenchman's early opponents, he'll face his Wellington eventually.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Trump still has his strengths. His refusal to apologize when faced by Mr. Bush's incoherent and garbled request took more guts than any candidate other than Ms. Fiorina likely has, and was done deftly and respectfully, neutralizing Bush without giving him any aggression to feed on. Trump is still impervious to a direct assault, being able to bullshit without the slightest hint of shame, assuring you that whatever that thing is you just mentioned he'll be the best at it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Trump's confidence and game are still without peer, but he needs to bring more. The Democrats are a lot better at fighting than his primary opponents, and they have significant allies that the GOP establishment does not. If Trump doesn't start disciplining himself now, he will be drawn out into the open and destroyed. The left doesn't need to take away all his support, which would likely be impossible, but just carve off enough from the sides, playing upon the cuckservatives desire for respectability, and making Trump every bit the albatross to them as Sarah Palin became. Then, like King Ottokar at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_on_the_Marchfeld">Marchfeld</a>, he will be isolated and destroyed, and with him the hopes of a nation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>9)Kasich</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nobody cares about what you did in Ohio. While your experience does lend credibility to your campaign, it can't be the only thing you rely on. You're in the big leagues now. Everybody on that stage was a governor, or a senator, or did something to show their competence and ability to get things done. Making your entire answer to any question posed you a lecture on Ohio legislative history is like showing up in college wearing your high school letterman's jacket.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Governor Kasich shouldn't hide his experience, but he needs to actually apply it to the situation at hand. Example: "I dealt with a similar issue in Ohio. We had X problem. I got the support of A,B,&C, and we did Y, with Z results. For national problem R, I would talk to H,I,&J and do S, with likely result T." This wouldn't keep him from being overshadowed by the more rhetorical speakers, but at least his dialectic would be effective for once.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>10) Paul</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Paul, aside from a few flickers of understanding from Trump, is the only candidate with a sane foreign policy. This, sadly, is the only thing he has going for him at this point. He has drawn aggro from Trump, and as unwise as it is for the mogul to attack the Senator, he seems hell-bent on doing it. And while Paul wants to fight back, his long-winded rejoinders aren't doing so effectively. His visible frustration merely marks him as the bullied pariah, and no matter how much distaste someone may have for the bully, nobody wants to stand up for that kid.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For Paul to have any shot at all, he needs to stop telegraphing low status with every move. Calm, collected, concise: these are alpha traits that the Senator lacks, and Trump wields against him with abandon. If nothing else, the attacks Paul has brought on himself will give him an intimate chance to learn from the master. Maybe he'll pcik up something for next election.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>11) Walker</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can't remember a single thing he said all night. I don't think anyone else could either. When even Jeb has the guts to speak up, and you don't, you put yourself beyond all serious consideration. Try again next time.</div>
</div>

Rubio thinks China is going to let him come and fabricate dissent. That'll happen...<br />
I'll have to say this for CNN, this debate has been far less dominated by Trump than the last, and at least some of that has to be down to having a format that allows the other candidates to show what they're made of.<br />
Trump knows the importance of respect. A simple thing, but largely forgotten in the West.<br />
Decent speech, Mrs. Fiorina.<br />
"A little bit of what Carly said."<br />
Christie calls it. He has really done a good job of re-centering his candidacy tonight. We'll see tomorrow if it helps him any in the polls.<br />

The ends don't matter, so long as the means are ok.<br />
Weed isn't just like smoking a beer, you don't get alcohol poisoning from weed.<br />
Also, what Fiorina doesn't mention, is that her child died with drug laws <b>in place!</b><br />

If you haven't figured it out by now from the two consecutive posts of babble, I'm publishing my stream of consciousness responses to the main stage GOP debate as it happens. More traditional posts will follow, but I wanted to respond to this one as it happens.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Random Middle Eastern Brigands</b><br />
A good Trivial Pursuit score is not a strong country. Point Trump.<br />
They don't recruit "Americans" Rubio, they recruit Muslims. Know the difference. (Hint, it starts at Tours.)<br />
Spending is not equal to strength. America really <b>does</b> worship money.<br />
<b>Bush on Bush</b><br />
Dude can't even lead this debate, how will he lead the world?<br />
Trump knows the word "dais." Not so much the word "militaristic."<br />
Low blow Trump.<br />
I don't think Bush kept all those guys he sent to the sandbox safe.<br />
"Haha, Walker agrees with me! Eat that Trump!" "And that matters, Jeb?"<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Back to Random Middle Eastern Brigands</b><br />
Again, Rand Paul is the only one with a non-retarded foreign policy. Luckily Trump, who actually has a chance of winning, seems to be listening.<br />
Awkward Trump handshake.<br />
New York/New Jersey person doesn't get that the rest of the country doesn't obsess over them like they do.<br />
Christie would re-invade Iraq.<br />
And Rubio would invade the world.<br />
Paul at least is still sane.<br />
Kasich: MEMEMEME!!!!<br />
In 2015 America "Jewish" comes before "Christian"<br />
The woman wants to spend. Is anyone surprised?<br />
<b>The Supreme Court</b><br />
Jeb thinks Roberts is doing a good job.<br />
Cruz again points out Conservative balllessness.<br />
And Huckabee does it better.</div>

And we're back for block #2!<br />
<br />
<b>Immigration</b><br />
"We don't have a country" Excellent point.<br />
The Germans could deport that many people, Christie... They could do it 70 years ago. They didn't need any fancy technology.<br />
Dr. Carson decided it's story-time..<br />
...Reasonable though. Do something that works.<br />
Man, Trump sure insulted Jeb's wife by calling her a Mexican. Who in the world would want to be called that?<br />
"We have been talking about it for 25 years" And <b>doing</b> what Carly?<br />
Defending our country isn't worth hundreds of millions of dollars. - Jeb Bush<br />
Why shouldn't the kid show <b>you</b> respect, Mr. Bush and ask the question in English? Oh wait, he'd have to respect you...<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Guy in the front row looks like a Twilight vampire. Edward Cullen is a Republican?<br />
Cruz gives credit where credit is due. Classy.<br />
More active, more dominant... until the moderator cuts him off... at least there's still debate number 3 Mr. Cruz.<br />
I suppose that Rubio would have given the Turks citizenship in the Kingdom of Hungary as well... They were there for 10 years...<br />
...And the one black guy on the stage argues for second class citizenship.<br />
Fiorina looks like Trump just hit her in the face. Pwned.<br />
Can Fiorina answer a single question? She does show that CNN's moderators can be negated by just talking over them though. I guess that's alpha?<br />
...a reading allows. And our Supreme Court is going to take on that reading? Or the one that genocides whites? Let's be real here...<br />
<b>Jobs</b><br />
You can measure "rate of innovation." It is a tangible, measurable quantity. Nonetheless, good answer Ms. Fiorina.<br />
...And then Trump makes her squirm.<br />
Hahaha, one millionaire says to another, "I find it rich."<br />
Mrs. Fiorina doesn't understand how bankruptcy works, or why it exists.<br />
And Christie spikes it. And then shuts her down again. Well. Done. Sir.<br />
Then the moderator admits that they have no ability to reign these guys in.<br />
Kasich is doing better in this debate, but come on man, nobody wants to hear you talk about yourself. Well, unless you're Trump. Become Trump, then we'll talk.<br />
<b>Taxes</b><br />
Huckabee is so polished. Respect.<br />
Dr. Carson keeps requesting his gloves. You're not in the surgery room anymore...<br />
Odds of anyone actually instituting a flax tax?<br />
Interesting minimum wage ideas from Dr. Carson. Gotta love indexing, and the two-tier thing is brilliant.<br />
<b>Kasich v Fiorina</b><br />
Tell us about your 800m record, Kasich. How much do you bench press?<br />
Fiorina wins by default.<br />
<br />
<br />

Walkout, Trump looks tired, Cruz personable.<br />
<b>Introductions</b><br />
Paul seems angry in his intro. Chill bro, chill.<br />
Huckabee, nice intro. Disarms opponents. Don't know why he doesn't poll higher.<br />
Rubio pulling the Reagan worshippers early. Good call.<br />
"Think of the children!" - Dr. Carson.<br />
Conservative doesn't mean what you think it does, Mr. Bush.<br />
Sorry Mr. Walker, Rubio beat you to the punch on Reagan. It has no power now.<br />
Kasich, you're only the third one on this wagon. Is this the canonization of Ronald Reagan? Is Pope Francis int he audience?<br />
Nice and punchy, well done Mr. Christie.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Is Trump Qualified?</b><br />
Two dodges Fiorina?<br />
Trump attacks Paul to begin with? Why? Way to kick the puppy and look like a dick.<br />
Dialetic Mr. Paul. Debates are about rhetoric. You raise a good point, but shorter, pithier, punchier. Try again in 2020.<br />
Bush looks shared shitless with Cooper calling the Trump's attention to him. Look at those eyes!<br />
Bush uses Fiorina's dodge again. Seriously, after she just got called out on it!<br />
How hard was Walker trying to shoehorn THAT one in? "We don't need an apprentice in the White House, we have one now." I bet that killed the first 4-5 times you practiced it.<br />
Trump's not even trying to look serious.<br />
Kasich holds off getting to the issues, to lecture everyone on getting to the issues.<br />
<b>Political Expedience</b><br />
"I will be the vessel..." interestingly Christie explicitly states what Obama did subliminally. Chris Christie is the Ross Jeffries of politics. Does that make Trump GM style?<br />
So who makes the system, Fiorina, if not the people in it? Bonus points if she says anything tonight about the people being the government...<br />
Would a puppet say he's a puppet? I'm going to see strings coming off Mr. Bush for the rest of the night.<br />
I could have money, you know if I wanted it. You ball stinks and I'm going home!<br />
Jeb doesn't understand the difference between cause and effect.<br />
<b>Rossiya!!!</b><br />
Begging the question, CNN. Who wants Russia out of Syria?<br />
The heads of Mexico. Apparently they are led by some kind of a junta.<br />
Putin is quite gangsta, I agree.<br />
I once went on a tour of NATO in Belgium. The guy who gave us a presentation openly said, without prompting, that he had no idea why NATO still exists. Food for thought.<br />
Fiorina wants to build a fleet to fight a land war. Also Germany is near Syria.<br />
Fiorina also wants to piss off Turkey. So that NATO thing...<br />
<b>Iran</b><br />
I remember when Pakistan nuked us. Wait, that didn't happen? So why the hell would Iran nuke us?<br />
Kasich looks nervous as hell at getting mentioned. Dude is sweating.<br />
Kasich actually makes a good point, one that I've made before. Going backies on all of our agreements after each election makes us a joke of a country.<br />
<b>China</b><br />
Governor Walker wants to insult China. Why? We can't core anything over there! Maybe for prestige gain, or Transfer Trade Power? Actually, in EUIV, that would fix all of our countries problems...<br />
We need to be strong against China, but not go so far as to cancel adinner, heaven forbid!<br />
<b>Syria</b><br />
Jeb made the wrong turn to the Israeli Prime Minster debate. I guess Huckabee does look a bit like Netanyahu, but you'd think he'd notice the questions aren't in Hebrew.<br />
Now that I say this, and Huckabee makes the same mistake, I'm really wishing that I was hearing the wonderfully deep and resonant voice of Bibi right now.<br />
Rand Paul is the only one who didn't say anything stupid. Way to go Rand!<br />
Cruz "when I stand on the stage.." nice game bro.<br />
Kasich: I will be tough, later!<br />
Kasich really riled himself up here...<br />
<b>Kim Davis and Christianity in America</b><br />
Huckabee, you're doing awful in the polls, you're going to have to fight sometime. Still, th man speaks well and makes good points. Why does no one like him?<br />
Also, Huckabee spells out what religion is really the enemy of the American State.<br />
Jeb is such a compromiser. Seriously, stand up for something!<br />
<b>Planned Parenthood</b><br />
Kasich gains points with those who don't think that the government is nothing but a horrible leech on the American people, however many of those are left.<br />
Nice point Cruz. That's the fire I want to see. If we want anything, we need to fight for it.<br />
And Christie follows up well. He's done a good job of trying to regain his fighter image.<br />
Do you think Bibi Netanyahu, or anyone else for that matter, really thinks America is going to turn on Israel? Really?<br />
Bush actually comes up with a real solution to something. First one of the night, for anyone. I'm kind of shocked.<br />
<b>Der Fiorina's Face</b><br />
Pithy and to the point. Well done Carly.<br />
Never compliment on looks straight up. You've gotta neg first, Trump!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<div dir="ltr">
...In this <a href="http://www.radixjournal.com/journal/2015/8/25/why-the-american-ruling-class-betrays-its-race-and-civilization">incredibly insightful piece</a> by Samuel Francis, reprinted in <a href="http://www.radixjournal.com/">Radix Journal</a>, the great question about the nature of the foe that has bedeviled conservatives for generations has fianlly been laid to rest. Read it first before I spoil it.</div>
<a name='more'></a>Alright, you back? As you saw (or didn't, if you just clicked through without doing what I told you, you rebel you) Mr. Francis's thesis was that, contrary to our assumptions, the social, political, and business elites <b>are </b>being served, and not merely deluded, by the cultural Marxist ideals they impose.<br />
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
They actually <b>don't</b> care about what will happen to their children, or the third world hellhole they will leave them (they weren't planning on having any anyway). They don't care about the God of their fathers: they rejected their ancestors along with their descendants, and if they think of them at all, it is with curses, not honor. The old values get in the way of worshiping their new god, Mammon, and must be purged as heresy. They don't care about race or culture, and actually want them gone, as mere impediments to their ascendancy to a universal empire. They feel no ties of blood, but merely social bonds, and ties of common purpose with those of similar status.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Frankly, even having read Mr. Francis's article, I still can't quite get my head around it. How could anyone not be swayed by blood and nation? It is through these things that we live on beyond ourselves, that we take on a life that is not limited to a few hundred pounds of flesh and bone. And even denying these, how can one deny the Christ who offers us true eternal life, when even descendants, race, and culture have failed? What is there in this moment so fair that it is worth forswearing such futures?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
But forswear them they have. We are left with the consequences. We will call them traitors, and so they are, but they will be unmoved, seeing us as strangers and enemies. We will hector, and plead, and cajole, but they will not be swayed, as they haven't in the past. We plead according to our values: to the blue sky, ringing with the peal of the church bell, and green grass, freshly cut, blessed with our playing children. They view these things with the same disgust that we do their more <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/07/07/a-big-political-cover-up-of-1980s-pedophile-ring-in-u-k-parliament/">seedy pleasures</a>.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So then, are these creatures stupid, or evil? By God's law its settled. They have knowingly broken every commandment, <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2015/09/04/kim_davis_anti_gay_kentucky_clerk_is_a_gift_to_gay_rights.html">enshrined every sin as sacred</a> and <a href="http://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/1-25.htm">called the same wisdom</a>. What could be more evil than that?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
And the wisdom of man delivers the same verdict, by the very Enlightenment values they have corrupted with their lips. Only so many people have the intellectual capacity to join the managerial class. While lower IQ populations will be hurt the most, most often those of the same "victim" classes the managers rely upon by their legitimacy, most people of any race or ethnicity will be shut out. That means you. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So what will be left for the non-elites in this brave new world? The old elite, the conservative businessmen mentioned by Francis, as well as the earlier nobility, promoted values that provided value. Marriage, family, and faith gave meaning to men's lives and a purpose to the labor they did on behalf of their masters. While the elite was certainly much better off than the commoners, the rising tide of Christian civilization floated all ships.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The new elite offers no such effect. This elite wants you hungry and miserable, the better to strip you of whatever resources they had been forced to leave in your control. Faith, family, and fraternity are rivals to their power, and must be destroyed whenever possible, not merely for their white foes, but among their allies as well. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is evil, by any definition. This is the willing, knowledgable sacrifice of the majority of mankind to degradation for the benefit of a small few. Every faith, every culture, every civilization known to man has delivered the strongest condemnation to such actions and to those who espouse them. No man who is yet a man, despite his race, or how he stands to benefit personally, can honestly deny this.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We cannot appeal to the seared consciences of these managers, and outreach to their allies has thus far been futile. But hope is not lost. We must call them out as the evil they are, and make explicit the evil they do. Make the world understand that these are not merely the parochial enemy of white Christendom, but <i>hostes humani generis. </i>Make clear the world that they are bringing to fruition. Even if their allies still choose short term spoils over long term gain, by telling the truth, and fighting, if necessary, the entire world for it, we will have done our duty to family, tribe, nation, man, and God. And by standing firm together, rather than confused and divided, we will triumph over the world, either in it or <a href="http://biblehub.com/revelation/3-21.htm">beyond it</a>.</div>

I hate to see her being put in jail. I understand what they're doing.

Compromise gets you nowhere, and your allies killed. Mr. Trump has picked up the following he has by being willing to oppose the power structure. Many of us have pinned our hopes on him as our last chance to have some effect on the direction this country is going. However, if Trump is only going to fight for himself, and not for the people that have lined up behind him, he may find his stratospheric poll numbers falling back down to earth. Let us hope that Mr. Trump can come around on this issue as he did on immigration. Moreso, let us hope that this acquience to unsupported judicial fiat and his taking of the <a href="http://pravdazvitazi.blogspot.com/2015/09/and-jeb-has-just-won-nomination.html">GOP surrender pledge</a> are not the first strokes of a pattern.<br />

<div dir="ltr">
It's easy to get discouraged in the Faith these days. As people who are attempting to be Christians in the 21st century, we are afflicted not only by the wickedness without, but also the wickedness within. Many of us, myself prime among them, have compromised with the world in ways that the early Chruch would have found unimaginable. When asked to offer our pinch of incense, we've bowed the knee to whatever we needed to live a somewhat comfortable life in an unhealthy age. </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It would be quite easy to make one of two mistakes here. One would be to give into the sin of despair, to sit and weep and do nothing, firmly convinced that you are going to hell, and you can do nothing to change that. Jesus Himself made sure to counsel against this very situation in the Parable of the Talents.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The other is even worse. Instead of keeping the focus of their hate on their own failings, it is easier for some to transfer that hatred to the God whose standards they have failed. They blame the Church for its hypocrisy, even as they have become not merely a hypocrite, but an open traitor to what they once believed.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Don't give up. I don't know what your sin is, your shortcoming, your <i>hamartia</i>. What I do know us that God has a place for you anyways, even if purity and its rewards are beyond you. To this day, nobody has any clue what Paul's "<a href="http://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/12-7.htm">thorn in the flesh</a>" was. Do men often recall that Moses wasn't allowed to enter the Promised Land? That David was forbidden from building the Temple? </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
These men had sins of blood, pride, and frustration with God on their hands. Nonetheless, Yahweh used them to His glory. And nonetheless, this glory shone through, accruing to them an honored place among the righteous dead.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It cannot be disputed that this age marks us with us with a malign character, that it poisons us with a destructive decadence. These things do create real stains on our soul. But...</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames." (1 Corinthians 3:11-15)</blockquote>
The stains will burn away, but what works we do, if they be of such stuff as to survive the flames, will remain. Therefore take courage! No matter how how much straw and hay you have piled up on the foundation, there is always room for some gold. </div>

<div dir="ltr">
In much the same way that Kim Davis is <a href="http://pravdazvitazi.blogspot.com/2015/09/philadelphia-and-laodicea.html">standing up for Christianity</a> in apostate America, so has Best Europe been standing up for Western culture in the face of Western European apathy and decadence. Today, per Adam Withnall of the <i>Independant</i>, Czech police have begun<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/czech-police-haul-migrants-off-trains-to-germany-and-write-numbers-on-their-arms-in-ink-10482651.html"> dragging invaders off trains</a> headed to Germany. While Germany <a href="http://europe.newsweek.com/germany-calls-europe-take-more-refugees-331401">incites these invaders to come</a>, attempting to spread the plague across the continent, still the Czechs <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/03/europe/europe-migrant-crisis/">and the Hungarians</a>, both of whom could simply leave the Germans to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotherham_child_sexual_exploitation_scandal">their fate</a>, hold back the tide.<br />
<br />
Andrew Stroehlein of Human Rights Watch, seeing this, <a href="https://twitter.com/astroehlein/status/639001533305241600">indignantly opines</a>, "What never stops amazing me are people who look at the Holocaust and think that it only holds lessons for Germans & Jews." I think he might be somewhat surprised to learn what these lessons were.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Starting with the Iron and Gold King, the unfortunate <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottokar_II_of_Bohemia#Legacy">Ottokar II</a>, Germans were imported into Bohemia by royal fiat. This arrangement of course, by most accounts, worked perfectly well... until the era of romantic nationalism brought on a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Confederation">succession</a> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protectorate_of_Bohemia_and_Moravia">attempts</a> to wipe out the Czech identity. Maybe that extra population wasn't quite worth it? What Czechoslovakia learned from the Germans was the utter unworkability of multiculturalism, and of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bene%C5%A1_decrees">the need for a monocultural state</a>.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
That said, Central Europe could be enjoying the fact that the shoe is on the other foot now, much <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-31/tent-cities-test-germany-s-resolve-to-support-swell-of-refugees">like south Slavic amnesty guy Bernd Mesovic </a><a href="http://www.proasyl.de/de/ueber-uns/">is clearly doing.</a> It might well be worth it to enjoy a bit of <i>schadenfreude</i> that the prolific German people, who once dominated the lands and peoples of Central and Eastern Europe, now face the same colonization within their own borders. Something, however, tells me that this would be a big mistake.<br />
<br />
Because today, people of European heritage are united. Not politically, as Russia and the EU are still fighting over the home continent, and our diaspora is spread throughout the world, as diasporas usually are. Not in mind, or heart: as ideology, grudges, and the blood of brothers and friends still divide us. We are united not in ourselves, but in the red glow of the fiery hatred from our enemies, enemies who want to see us all dead irrespective of our long histories of conflict with one another. We will never give enough to appease them, not until we've given our last breaths. We cannot afford to give them one single nation that might stand with us, no matter what the past might hold.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the seventh century Emperor Maurice was murdered, destroying the short-lived peace between the Roman and Persian Empires. By the end of that century, Islam was well on its way to overthrowing both. Though Byzantium would live on another seven centuries, the seeds of its doom were sown in this rebellion.<br />
<br />
We must learn from the Byzantines to avoid infighting, to avoid taking the easy path rather than the hard. We must buckle under and not complain about the harsh austerity required for survival. We must be good, rather than kind. We must be willing to stand with opponents past, for this is the only way we will stand at all.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://pravdazvitazi.blogspot.com/2015/08/white-guilt-stops-at-sumava.html">Czechs</a>, the <a href="http://pravdazvitazi.blogspot.com/2015/08/slovakia-knows-who-they-are.html">Slovaks</a>, and the <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/refugees-threaten-europes-christian-roots-says-hungarys-orban-071752052--business.html">Magyars</a> have all learned this lesson. Let them not stand alone.</div>

<div class="tr_bq">
From MJ Lee and Chris Moody of CNN, the details of the Donald's <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/03/politics/donald-trump-2016-rnc-pledge-meeting/">concession of the race</a>:</div>
<blockquote>
"Donald Trump has signed the pledge. The Republican presidential front-runner met privately with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus Thursday afternoon, and soon after, came out to the lobby of Trump Tower to declare that he has signed a loyalty pledge. This means Trump has promised to support the party's eventual nominee -- whoever that may be -- and that he will not run as a third-party candidate."</blockquote>
Trump justified this move on the rationale that "the Republican Party in recent months has been 'extremely fair' to him." Unfortunately Mr. Trump fails to realize is that it is irrelevant that the RNC is "extremely fair" now. <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/2012/8/29/chaos_on_the_convention_floor_as">Just ask Ron Paul.</a><br />
<br />
Looks like this election is going to be <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2015/09/jeb-bush-2016-woman-falls-asleep-213311">a snooze</a> after all.</div>
