Mr. Misanthrope

---

The men who built modern civilization just laid down and did absolutely nothing while women, invaders, and idiots destroyed it. Nobody sure why.

I heard an interesting speaker addressing this obliquely many years ago.

He was an Eton and Oxford educated philosopher who was an atheist but converted to Christianity when he began studying it during his service in the British Army during WWII.

He said if you look around Sunday morning at most Churches there are a predominance of married women with their children, but few with their husbands.

He saw several problems:

1. The wife had the responsibility of spiritual responsibility and leadership thrust upon her when it was his role and function.

2. She would often be resentful and
a) nag and manipulate her husband to take up his responsibilities or
b) trudge on with building resentment and do, alone and often poorly, a job God never equipped her to fulfill-perhaps finally giving up to the ultimate detriment of the children, the marriage, and the wellbeing and health of the Church.

The example the father gave his children to see and imitate tells them the Church and the crucified, dead, buried, and resurrected Jesus, and all that it means-is a ridiculous humbug, not worth getting up for on Sunday morning or devoting any effort to it at all at any other time.

3. In short, the problem with Christianity, the Church, and Western Civilization is renegade men who refuse to lead their families as the functional high priest in their homes.

In the light of this Rockwell’s painting is a little less amusing and maybe is making a point worth considering.

So you wrap that rascal and ride them ponies. Giddy up!

Most have never seen a condom, the look on their faces is priceless.

Y’all seem to have plenty to think about there already.

I’m fairly certain we’re okay here.

And enjoy your win.

I’m surprised. Where are the Somalian Scammers going to fund their enterprises?

I laughed but the main point is accurate although made with humor.l

Go full deportation the next 2 years.

---

And declare a national emergency and limited martial law to deport as close to 30,000,000 as you can. The deportees can argue their cases from wherever they end up and with that country’s attorneys. Get them out, no hearings, no injunctions, merciless efficiency.
And close the borders to all immigrants except white Western Europeans or South Africans.

Mass arrest the agitators and protesters and treat them with the same legal protections and status as the January 6 political prisoners.

If they are going to call you a racist, transphobic, tyrant and worse-embrace it, be it.

Please tell me we make it through this.

I really can't.

It's realistically foreseeable the filibuster goes away immediately, a real possibility of the remaining Senate Republicans in order to cling to power and relevance wil join with the Marxists to override any Trump Presidential vetos. The Marxists will very likely bring in two new States, do away with the electoral college, and pack SCOTUS.

They may in this election have achieved irreversible power to erase the Republic the Founders began.

It seems apparent DEI will surface supercharged and compromise if not eliminate meritocracy.

Our borders may soon look like Europe's, and our communities overrun by migrants who take but don't produce and vote but never assimilate or embrace Western Culture in its distinctive American flavor.
Crime by migrants will mirror Great Britain's.
The political persecution of the Marxists's political opponents will be relentless and free speech will become a criminal offense.
And the censorship of dissent and opposing points of view by the state aided and abetted by the MSM and big tech will be swift and effective.
It will make suppression of questioning Covid vaccines and policies seem like vigorous free debate.

I can hardly imagine the upcoming violence and persecution turned towards the Christian Church.

None of the alleged criminals or traitors currently either indicted or under investigation will ever face trial or be held accountable. President Trump will very likely be impeached and possibly removed from office.

The Blue tsunami has convinced me that God has said "Enough" and his withdrawn his protections and blessings from America and turned us over to our own devices. We're not much different from Israel during the rule of the Judges when men did what was right in their own eyes and ignored God and his commandments.

So, no, it will not pass, it will have to be undured.

Happy All Saints Day!

Buried here in Baton Rouge are my Mom, my Dad, and my older sister.

Mrs. M’s recent knee replacement last Monday has delayed us from visiting them, cleaning up their graves, and placing flowers. It will have to wait until she’s better able to visit them.

On my sister’s tomb stone is her name and a single date.

All Saints Day reminds me that I will finally meet her one day soon. It will be joyous.

Reformation Day’s got nothing on that.

I've been hearing the farmers are mad as hell over tariffs and diesel and are staying home.

Well good for them. Bunch of Kuluk wannabes. Foolish. Hold your breath and stay home. Things will certainly get better when the Left is in control.

The farmers may get to enjoy the benefits of collectivization if the damn Socialists takeover.

Are you provoking Theists or being thought provoking?

So on one hand, a benevolent God must not exist if he fails to intervene in this sort of evil and likewise, he must not be a benevolent God because he does intervene and destroys the Canaanites for their evil and devotion to infant sacrifice.

It’s an ironic contradiction to explain away a God you likely don’t believe exists in the first place.

(Maybe more provocative-given the barbarous, cruel, and evil world we live in and where horrific things like this happen with almost numbing regularity-how and why did the idea of a benevolent God ever arise?)

I think the derailment of the Trump train over iran has created an opening for someone who was previously dead: DeSantis. I think he has a chance now and moving forward after this disastrous year for Republicans. His record has stayed strong and unscathed by being in Florida and outside the meltdown coming out of DC.

---

This is a cogent argument for DeSantis that few will want to concede.

War with Iran was never going to be quick or easy or without economic consequences and political fallout. The reasons were never made sufficiently reasonable to justify the inevitable consequences. Maybe it was an impossible task in the long run.

However right or wrong the conflict or whatever problems resulted from its implementation, it was never going to be handled by the mainstream media and the left as anything more than a political tool to poison the MAGA well and seize power.
