Watch It Fall: A Lament

“How long until there’s nothing left at all?” This is the season, this is the time of lamentation. I suspect that bluegrass, perhaps along with just the plain old blues, might be the only two musical genres fit to express the sentiments of the remnant of the healthy and the sane, we who are left…

Apart-Hood

“Apartheid” comes from the Afrikaans words for “separateness” or more literally, “apart-hood”. The fact that dimwitted mayors throughout the United States and parliaments in Europe, Australia, New Zealand have embraced apartheid regarding reception of the genetic serums speaks to some remarkable contradictions.

Frédéric Bastiat and the State-breakers

Brilliant. Consistent. Principled. As a true liberal or libertarian of today’s stripes, Frédéric Bastiat warred against the state in 19th France wherein there were few allies for him to find. He was to liberty what Jimmy Hendrix was to American rock-and-roll; a virtuoso who died way too young. Still, he lives on though his masterpieces.…

Cuba, Communism and Christus Rex

  This is a good homily from a great priest, who meets Christ’s people where they are. My comments/points of clarification on it follow: Communism is never directed–by its nature–toward the preferential option for the poor, toward authentic charity, toward true Christian freedom, toward Christ Himself Who was killed by a totalitarian regime.
