One step at a time. <br /><br />Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-26493008911963653382018-04-05T09:16:06.460-07:002018-04-05T09:16:06.460-07:00Literally.Literally.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-8459945913822379102018-04-05T08:39:51.653-07:002018-04-05T08:39:51.653-07:00"But "A society in which language has be..."But "A society in which language has been so denatured as to operate on the principle of inversion, beyond even the institutional euphemisms of political correctness, has no future" (Solway). <b>Literally</b>. For language -- and the truth it carries -- is to civilization what blood is to the body. Tainted language is like tainted blood: eventually it spreads to the whole organism."<br /><br />And by 'Literally', the pro-regressive means 'Literarily' - the willful replacement of what is (literally) true, with those false words which they would prefer to be accepted (by virtue of as much force as might need to be threatened or exerted) as 'true'.<br /><br />... casting spells and imposing sacrifices - that is their world. <br /><br />Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-75507740630806013632018-04-03T19:20:18.923-07:002018-04-03T19:20:18.923-07:00I agree.

I'd be curious your take on it. While I have a lot of respect for Prager, he tends to be overly practical for me when it comes to his interpretations. I'd like some mystical pot smoking views too.tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354048695798015131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-60435868474540208202018-04-03T12:13:48.551-07:002018-04-03T12:13:48.551-07:00The media doesn't just provide "fake news...<i> The media doesn't just provide "fake news," but literally an alternate universe. But this is only possible because the psychic targets have been softened by the continuous bombardment of education and entertainment. Skulls don't just fill themselves with mush. Rather, someone has to do the filling.</i><br /><br />There are far too many people I know and love who inhabit that alternate universe. They are good-hearted, kind, and assume that most people - particularly, say, those in the media - are likewise good-hearted and kind. Thus for several weeks now I have been hearing of the bravery and wisdom of "these kids," who are so amazing. juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-27856497587225778102018-04-03T11:54:53.813-07:002018-04-03T11:54:53.813-07:00Not every body that belongs to the left zone is ho...Not every body that belongs to the left zone is horizontally oriented nor everybody that belongs to the right zone is vertically oriented. God did not make his punishment collective but personal so everyone receives his due reward. Only if we watch the hurricane that takes some and leaves some. When the talk of the humans right obscure their duties the problem flourish. God started with obligations not with rights and what we did, we capsized that basic principle of life. Gave ourselves the right to blunder and steal. Look to what the political west of both versions have done in the world, while the good people under them are busy addressing other abstract issues far divorced from the real issues of aggression and exploitation, hatred, war and oppression that fill our global landscape. It is unfortunate that governments of those who claim to be more advanced more educated more civilized are not interfering to reconcile but to enhance the turmoil across the globe. The stories of the striking drones are revealing. Unfortunate also that our good people of the west whom we expect to play a mending role, we found them submerged in their centrism forgetting their responsibility in propagating the truth and the justice that are divinely required from them. I do not want to raise dead issues but only to direct the attention to what is real and important, what is essential and urgent, like the massacre that took place in the west bank by the heroic Israeli soldiers under the direction of their democratic government. It is easy to accuse the weak side when the ball is in the hand of the strong. We are living in an open world where no longer non-involvement in what is going on the globe palatable. We are accomplices in the crimes played on our world stage if we do not get involved. It is seems it is time for the forgotten god to get involved and make his presence felt.
