I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, but I'll be spending some time today reading, thinking about, and following the links within The Anchoress' "Judas & the Cult of Malevolent Mendacity. " I'll be printing hard copies and sending the link by email as well.
Excerpt: "The Cult is multiplying and descending upon society in continual and ever-growing waves; you can see its sticky and pearlescent trail everywhere. It lives and thrives on such food as this grief turned outward and slicked up. It drinks itself giddy by imbibing the moonshine of the charlatan, thus convincing itself that this is the way the world should work."
What? Are you still here? Click and be off.

Back again? In that case, be off to Ye Olde One Cosmos for "And Now For Something Completely Indifferent" for a discussion of the roots of female hysteria, wandering wombs, the creation, by single mothers, of feral boys ....
"For a boy to become a man, he will require "male mothering" from a manly role model. It is very rare that a boy will be able to obtain this from his mother alone, no matter how hard she tries. This explains why the plague of unwed motherhood leads directly to the plague of barbarous boys in the body of a man...."
... the bipolar constituents of the Democrats: "Speaking of which, you will notice how man-hating feminists, unwed single mothers, and feminized men are perhaps the largest constituency of the Democratic party...."
... Jane Fonda, Donald Rumsfeld, and more.
Get going. I'm working today on a longer item involving love, marriage and lunacy. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Humm, yet again you are here thinking perhaps a long essay is forthcoming. That may or may not be, but in the interim, when you finish with the two items above you might want to catch Anne Coulter's uncommon common sense at LIE DOWN WITH STRIPPERS, WAKE UP WITH PLEAS. One Cosmos points to it and you might want to read it. If not to yourself, to any alcoholics you may have in your life.
"Whenever a gun is used in a crime, there are never-ending news stories about how dangerous guns are. But these girls go out alone, late at night, drunk off their butts, and there's nary a peep about the dangers of drunk women on their own in public. It's their "right."

And if all that is not enough to set your teeth on fire, consider Porretto's extended discussion of the shared psychopathic dementia that grips our "major" political parties. "In the large, both our major parties are evincing suicidal tendencies. However, present trends continuing, in the process of killing themselves they could well take the country down with them."
Sigh. You know,some days I think that the title of my next book should be The Autumn of the Patriots.

Wait. You do scare me. But only because if you are working on something big it is sure to be more humility for the rest of us Constitutionalist bloggers. Of course, that means much more suffering for the merchants of mediocrity as you shotgun their balloon clouds of blather.
No pain, no gain. Write on, Gerard.
Posted by: AskMom at April 20, 2006 11:37 AMMany long years ago -- before I began my slow, steady decline into punditry -- I read a few advising that we return to the halcyon days of a shame culture. Well, these days we've learned what that can lead to.
I say we return to a responsibility culture. That we hold people responsible for their actions. No exceptions, no excuses. You lie, you're responsible. You steal, you're responsible. You give false counsel, you are responsible.
No exceptions, no excuses.
No passing the buck.
Posted by: Alan Kellogg at April 20, 2006 12:41 PMAlan, you have the best ideas. Responsibility period. So simple and so perfect, and SO alien to the modern liberal mind.
Teaching children to say "I did it" is the beginning. And not an easy one. It's tough to be strict with an adorable two foot tall clone of yourself who made some silly childish mistake. But consider the speed with which they become 15 year old rebels with an attitude, and then 35 year olds with L.A. Times columns. Or Presidents with an intern problem.
God bless and help all the parents trying to raise good kids in this poisonous culture.

Really want to do something for all of us? Get on a plane to Durham NC right now.
"Bonfire" is 19 years old - the new one is waiting with INTERNET connections. The "support the victim" website posted photos and all personal info on every team member, all info on their families. 2 indicted are the most affluent,{what are the odds they are registered Republicans?}
this is after original testimony of V that gave 3 other names.
Opportunity here for you to catch Jessie/Al or their NC clone race baiting big time - and you know all the tech details to find out who sponsored that site.
Stripper #2 backing away from original tales. Photos show fake nails missing from V on arrival.
Gosh this is like a Huey Long tale also.
With your mastery of descriptive prose - I get nice chill just thinking of what you could create.
Please consider it.
