A Stacked Deck

I hardly thought it possible, but Paul Goldman and Mark J Rozell at Politico have uncovered yet another way in which the 14th Amendment is destroying America. 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.

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.

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 you think Americans will play a losing hand?

New Format

You might notice the new aesthetic here at Pravda Zvíťazí. As much as I loved the pink-orange hummingbirds, I figured it might just be time for a change. Rest assured, I will continue to deliver pink-orange commentary on the same irregular basis as always!

America Universalis IV

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 this video the old fashioned way.
Luckily that means when you vomit, it won't be all over my blog.

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?

"It diminishes America's importance!"

Quick Quiz!

According to the Vice-Chancellor of Germany, what shapes German culture?

Is it this?

How about this?

America, Enemy of the Faith

When I was a child, I used to love the Left Behind 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.

Independence for Catalonia, Independence for All

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 force of arms and the blood of their countrymen. Determination and faith will be required of them nonetheless.

Not surprisingly, the leaders of the West's unsustainable multinational empires are against this move:

"US President Barack Obama and British premier David Cameron, among others, have called for Spain to stay united."

I would assume if Blessed Kaiser Karl of Austria could be reached from beyond the grave, he also would oppose this measure, along with a majority of the final Emperors of Rome.

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.

Getting Away With Murder

Bruce Jenner will be, quite literally, getting away with murder. However, when you consider the price he paid 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, you are not... Well, I'm sure Indiana will be much safer without the high treason of a broken taillight breaching domestic tranquility.

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 7085 murders, you might just be anointed President of the United States.
