Tim Walz

He, the socialist governor and gun-grabber in chief tries to comfort gun owners that he is not out to deprive us of our arms. He has a picture on Facebook of him pheasant hunting. Here is my message to him: "You are a typical liberal hypocrite. You try to assuage our fears that you are not out to confiscate all our guns by assuring us that you are a gun owner and hunter that just happens to be in favor of red flags and universal background checks. As a lying socialist, your means is incremental infringement, and it will only lead to confiscation, disarmament of all citizens, and your getting promoted in the coming Stalinist police state. If you did an about face, joined MGR, and offered to sponsor constitutional carry and powerful stand your ground legislation, I might even vote for you. At the bottom of it all, you are just a gun-grabbing Leftie out to lull us to sleep so you can use the power of the state police to take our guns away."

You Are Not Responsible For Macro-solutions

What are you morally and spiritually responsible for, if your  critics and judges, mostly God and the angels, are reasonable, impartial and fair?  You can only be held accountable for what you fully understand in a sane state of alert clear consciousness, during which you easily comprehend the action that you are considering to undertake, what are the alternatives to it, and what are the repercussions to others and yourself, based upon what you elect to do. Another aspect is that you must not just have the right motive, but cannot be held fully responsible for what you do not have the power to effect.

Under deontological ethics, the blame or praise is based upon the actor based on motive. It is enough to try to help, and results and unintended consequences are not relevant.

Results-based ethics are based upon outcomes, what you are empowered to change. You are responsible for your personal behavior, but you are not responsible for failing to save the world from nuclear holocaust, should it come about. That level of responsibility is beyond you, and your critics (including you as a self-critic) and judgers must admit to this freely.

God alone is powerful enough and smart enough to prevent nuclear holocaust. God can change the world but we cannot for we are small, not very bright, not very constant, reliable creatures.Even God may choose not to save the world for many reasons (out of respect for free will of evil doers, to not countermand some foreordained outcome of natural law that even God must honor and abide by, because Satan or Fate oppose De in this instance--for for a myriad of other mysterious reasons perhaps ever beyond our ability to grasp. Or God may have contractual obligations, that we are not privy to, contrary to desired this worldly outcomes that we prefer.

We did not make the world. We are not perfect enough or powerful enough or wise enough to operate the world or know how to save it, so we are not responsible for saving it. We do what we can as individuals in our micro-situation, in our personal lives. We must then become fatalistic and accept whatever happens, however unthinkable and horrible that outcome may be. It is our duty to let the world go to hell in a hand basket if that is its divine destiny. We are not to intercede, and would make no difference if we tried. We may even make things worse.

Our failure to accept our human limits in power and intelligence, in regard to saving the world, is the primary cause of corruption of idealists playing God in order to save the world. Embittered, radicalized idealists become obsessed with forcing others to conform to their plan for salvation of people and the world, that they will justify attacking the masses through war, violence, intimidation, torture and totalitarian coercion. Such vicious means to a noble end is so pernicious that it so corrupts the plan that the  villains enforcing the plan brutally are transformed into creatures of demonic rot and menace, making things a whole lot worse.

Socialist Democrat

A rose by any other name is still a rose. A socialist democrat is still a Marxist, a radical Leftist, and that entails Big Government micromanagement of the individual citizen's personal life, a coercive, authoritarian control of personal decision-making, the result  is loss of privacy, personal choice and personal liberty. That is unconstitutional and violates inalienable natural rights to enjoy liberty, to enjoy an inviolable sphere of personal liberty enjoyed by the law-abiding citizen and to enjoy the capacity to acquire power, things and intellectual property that one wields as the unique and his property.

Faust

It is not cosmic overreaching, egotistical hubris, or blasphemy in action to hunger after and search incessantly for skill, mastery, competence, knowledge and wisdom. There may be branches of knowledge that are inherently so dangerous that we should not pursue them, bot most pursuits are neutral in value, but how we use what we learn makes employing such learning and technology

At Hand

Evil is real and at hand, a constantly impinging, existential threat to our well being that must be acknowledged, confronted and defeated if we are to be decent, happy and saved, with God uppermost in our thinking and plans.

Savages

The human heart is a raging beast, and, in all youths, this ranging animals, bitterly resents all efforts to tame it, to civilize it. Basically evil human nature never changes, and the hearts, souls, wills and minds of the young must be wrested from sin and cruelty in each successive generation, to walk the narrow line, becoming stable, productive, adult members of society.

Durant's Nouns

I was reading Will and Ariel Durant this morning and they referred to the lordlings, the middlings and the groundlings, obviously obsolete nouns for medieval classes of people.

Some lost use of words deserve a come back.

The Hated Outsider

We are all natural conservatives, in that bad way. We do not trust an outsider, a loner. If he is outside of our tribe, our family or our clique, he is a secret or open enemy. He is subhuman, so we can be decent to insiders, but justify any level of cruelty towards this stranger, this individual. We imagine all kinds of offenses and wrongdoings on his part, and they usually are but phantasms in our minds.

The outsider is not good or bad per se. Let us taken each one and give them the benefit of the doubt until we get to know them, and then reasonably can decide to oppose and attack him or not, or sustain him and welcome him into our midst.

No Courge

Both Dennis Prager and Sean Hannity have complained bitterly about the silence, surrender and weakness of federally elected Republican politicians that do not defend Trump, conservative values, gun rights, and a balanced budget. Their RINO complicity and silent defeatism is deafening. This is why the Left is seeking impeachment here, in late September, to take out Trump. He is all that is fighting for the American Way on the Republican side. If they can take him out, they can kill the movement, or stall our MAGA ambitions.

Notice how Democratic main media, Hollywood intellectuals,  academics, clergy, Presidential candidates and Democratic national politicians all speak with one voice, true believers, a mass movement, a mob with one plan, one objective, to destroy America, godliness, and all traditional values to institute the Marxist dictatorship and a godless, global multi-culture here.

What is required on the conservative side is the arrival on the political scene of supercitizens and statesman politicians that speak, promise, legislate, refuse to legislate and vote as principled conservatives. We need such as judges and bureaucrats also.

Such politicians, and voters, whether empowered or not, a back-bencher or Speaker of the House, would be defending their President to all comers, and thus the middle class and the independents would be won over to the conservative side as we went on offense to recover this country, and undo 100 years of socialism.

Notice Leftists are outspoken and combative, thus on offense, and their ism has gained much ground. Conservatives are cowardly, meek, willing to be pushed around, and talk peace, appeasement and building middle ground.

This RINO aptitude like in Romney against Trump infuriates principled conservatives, but it goes much deeper than mere RINO cowardice, their treachery, their love of the swamp and all things big government, and their contempt for their duped voters.

In this world, run by the Devil, where people run in packs (group-living is where lies, bad policies and evil reside) and are basically wicked, the ones that are most aggressive, principled and outspoken are those pushing the evil, socialist cause because they really to like it and believe in it.

Conservatives, the children of light, are individualists, few in number, and fence-straddling conservatives will not back them because the lukewarm do not like conservatism, small government, capitalism individualism and constitutionalism very much, and just cannot get worked into a frenzy of staunch support for such godly but unpopular, unworldly principles, thus their support is silent, slow-walked and minimalist.

John Pavovitz

I will address his article elsewhere, but he claims that Progressive values are not radically Left, but are the humane middle.

Here was my Facebook response:

Nice Sentiment, but it is not reality. The humane middle in the Democratic Party as sensible, liberal voices like Quentin Burdick and Scoop Jackson, blue dog Democrats, no longer exists. What has replaced it is radical Leftism, secular humanism, anti-constitutionalism, pro-gun confiscation, fiscal irresponsibility, open borders, the nanny state, one-party rule, the religion of environmentalism currently trotted out as climate change, global multiculturalism, one party rule and a socialist government. The Democratic Party and the Progressive Movement have been moving America to the Left for over 100 years. Since Obama was President, the flood gates of transformative change have inundated America with Europeanized values and plans. The destruction of our great nation is imminent if you Progressives, in the "humane middle", know national victory.

How?

How do you know that you are the genuine article, an actual, practicing believer in and worshiping follower of God?

If you strive with all your heart and all your will, to align yourself with God, chances are your prayers will be answered for you are the real thing.

Psalm 96, 11-13

One day the Mother and Father shall wrest control of this earth from the Dark couple, and the freedom, plenty, peace, lawfulness and prosperity will reign: "Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea and what fills it resound; let the plains be joyful and all that is in them! Then shall all of the trees of the forest exult before the Lord, for he comes; for he comes to rule the earth."

Psalm 96, 9-13

God the Mighty rules the world, or much of it, and this rule is just, merciful and loving: "Tremble before him, all the earth; say among the nations: The Lord is king. He has made the world firm, not to be moved; he governs the people with equity. . . He shall rule the world with justice and the peoples with his constancy."

May worldly politicians be so honest, fair, just and incorruptible.

Psalm 96, 7-8

Praise the glories of God: "Give to the Lord, you families of nations, give to the Lord glory and praise; give to the Lord the glory due his name! Bring gifts, and enter his courts; worship the Lord in holy attire."

Psalm 96, 6

Praise sincerely and routinely the splendor and majesty of God: "Splendor and majesty go before him; praise and grandeur are in his sanctuary."

To Harvest

Little by little, you gain in knowledge and wisdom as you age, experience what life has to offer you, as you travel along the road to self-enlightenment.

What You Prefer

Will you settle or a life of servitude to group interests, or will you head on on your own and find your own way forward?

To Understand

Nothing is more pungent to the senses and for the intellect than knowing how and why things are as they are. It may lead to wisdom, but at least answers are finally forthcoming.

No Compromise

No compromise with grabbers, but do push our pro-gun agenda.

Insatiable

May your curiosity be insatiable, but not your appetites or urges.

North Dakota

The problem is North Dakota is but a small, rural state. We have to sell North Dakota values and its conservative principles to a nation blue and going purple in many states. It is an uphill climb.

The New Normal

If we are not on offense, we are on defense, and as Chris Dorr warns, it is being normalized that gun control is the predictable and acceptable response to any mass shooting.

Slippery Slope

The Slippery slope is not okay. Giving an inch is on the road to confiscation, no place else.

Barr Proposes Universal Background Checks

Proposed universal background checks or near universal background checkseasily converts into universal gun registration, and the White House is pushing this stuff.

Where We Disagree

I wish that I had more time to follow Dennis Prager. He is a good, Jewish-American intellectual and sage, of immense wisdom. I would love to watch every Prager U video, read his rational Bibles, listen to every fireside chat, and read his books, but I have my own projects to work on.

I have two areas of disagreement with him. We agree that humans are corrupt from birth, and that happiness can only be realized or achieved by the individual holding a metaphysical, tragic sense of life, back up by religious faith to sustain him through times of loss, suffering and doubt.

He is an altruist, as are most Jewish and Christian thinkers (the Moslems, Hindus, Taoists and Buddhists likewise), defining our altruistic and other-interested motives as good, and our egoistic and self-interested motives as selfish and wicked. Children must receive spiritual and moral upbringing to civilize them so that they become good, responsible citizens and contributing members of society that are loving, rational and in control of their passions and appetites.

I recommend that children are born evil or altruistic (They hate themselves from birth, and hate others too, but are addicted to pack-living, and the is the source of evil in this world.), but they must receive training in moral and spiritual goodness to be motivated by enlightened self-interest, to love themselves, God and others, so that they can become responsible contributing adults that do their duty, meet their obligations to individual-live, self-realize and pursue their own happiness while caring for others and the upkeep of society.


The other area of disagreement is one that I most recently uncovered. Prager was cited on one of his videos as explaining that God is beyond gender assignation.He explained away Biblical references to Yahweh or God the Father as mere useful pronoun designation for the sake of nudging young men to be good and obey God, motivated by a male voice in authority, one that they are more inclined to heed and take seriously.

God is an individual and individual have sharp, defined, categorizable, wonderful characteristics that are clear, real and identifiable. God is God the Father, a male, and God is my generic name, for God the Mother too, and the Father is a male and the Mother is a female. In this Prager and I disagree.

Cannot Make A Difference

A friend complained to me today that society is so rotten and so far gone, that individual effort cannot make a difference. He may be correct, but that is not the point. Even if moral victory cannot possibly be achieved, the job of each person is to fight the good fight, no matter how imposing the obstacles, no matter how powerful the opposition.

We do our duty for God and country, and then where God and Fate allow the country to go from there, is not our worry. That is beyond us, and above our pay grade.

Unsustainable

I just got off the phone with one of my lighting stores. The owner is a second generation wholesaler, very smart, very balanced, one of the most decent, fair, genial, and logical men that you would ever want to meet.

He volunteered that a 2100 square foot house in St. Paul is now paying $13,000 in property taxes. I do not know if this anecdote was self-referential, but he lamented that a man making $90,000, whose wife, always stayed home with three kids, now has to go to work, because a $90,000 income is insufficient to care for the family of five without the wife going out to work.

This is a startling statistic about how inflation, and government profligacy are destroying middle class America. This man is no radical at all, probably a George Bush conservative, not a Mark Levin constitutional conservative, like I am, but he is furious.

Leftism is ruining America on all levels. New York, Illinois, California and New Jersey are converted into expensive, unlivable hell holes, with the few rich and the masses are poor, while the middle class dwindles in size and influence.

It is not too late for Minnesota, but we too can be destroyed be Leftist culture and government overreaching. I have never gotten over the fact that the Left destroys all it touches, and Marxism has failed everywhere, but still Marxism and Leftism is still be touted and highly regarded by tens of millions of Americans.

We are basically evil, and our evil is compounded by our group-living, and thereby, citizens display agonizing, gullible susceptibility to being brainwashed and ordered to obey groupthink about the glories of socialism from elites running Hollywood, the professions, Academia, the church, mass media and the educational system on all levels.

To Project

What neat or fun goals do you envisage for yourself to accomplish or chase after going forward. Have fun at it and get these goals met. It adds zest and heft to life.

Become Skilled

You can never be too proficient. You should be ambitious, working and learning and honing your skill to become as masterful as you can be. Then you will be justly proud of what you can do, are doing and have done. You enjoy your work and ever self-perfect to grow at what your are good at and love to do.

Your Excellene

What do you do better than anyone else, or at least a strong improvement over how you performed at the same calling a year ago? Find you out what is your thing and get after it.

Existent Archetypes

Are there eternal forms or archetypes, the font of all other life forms and objects? I believe so. What we describe as noumena are this form directly or its distant representative. Either eternal forms exist or something like it.

Which Way?

Can we know external objects as noumena or as phenomena. We know them first and mostly as phenomena, but, we can also know them as noumena. We can not see either as they are, for we are inauthentic liars and deceived perceivers, but as individuating, truth-loving persons with clear-eyed perceiving, thinking and feeling, we can see both as they are and as they are internconnected to other objects out there.

Independent World

Is there a world out there that is the source of our ideas? Yes, there is a world out there, I am fairly certain, and it is the external source of our ideas. Internal sources of our ideas are our genetic makeups, our subconscious and our spiritual communication to the spiritual world beyond our inner consciousness.

Famous Remark

In Liberty and Tyranny, Mark Levin includes a famous quote by William F. Buckley about how college educated elites, though brilliant and highly educated, make poor, authoritarian, disastrous decisions if they gain leadership roles.

Eric Hoffer advises cossetting intellectuals in America but never give them power.

Dennis Prager adds that professors are smart, but they have not wisdom because they reject religion.

From Page 59, here is the quip: "I would rather be governed by the first two thousand people in the Boston telephone directory than by the two thousand people on the faculty at Harvard University."

All these conservative thinkers are right. Professors with PhDs are dumber than high school educated blue collar workers. Why is this so?

First of all, these professors are public employees. They have never done a day of real work in their lives. They live in a world of theories. They have lost their faculty for common sense, so they do not propose workable solutions for the real world. They try implementing what should not be tried.

Second, they are incapable of admitting they are wrong. They are incorrigibly arrogant, and really, deep-down they are convinced that they are superior to common people, so therefore their superior, perfect decisions, conclusions and decisions rendered are infallible. Such proposals, as public policy, are often disastrous.

Third, most of them are Marxists, and though Marxism failed everywhere, has been tried many times, leading to untold suffering, the murder of tens of millions of citizens, led the world to the brink of nuclear war, mass poverty and starvation, and dreams of world conquest, Leftist, Western intellectuals have run cover for Marxism's failures, so it is still respected and advocated. These professorial Marxists want one world government under a Marxist dictatorship, and that is a horrible idea on many levels.

Fourth, Prager suggests that following the Bible and worshiping God (Yahweh or Jesus) are the only or the primary source of acquiring wisdom to live, let alone govern. Professors en masses are Leftist, secular humanists, irreligious and often atheistic, so their way of living and their ill-conceived and unworkable political agenda will prove authoritarian and unworkable as big government, under their reign, will finish consuming the entire society.

Fifth, professors are public employees, working as cogs in the machine, functionaries in a hierarchy. Brilliant and highly educated, living as a bureaucrat makes professors stupid as groupthink, conformity, group-living an an insistence on ideological purity to the religion of Leftism drives them to make poor decisions. As leaders of America, they will tank the country.

Sixth, as joiners, groupists, bureaucrats, group-livers, Marxists, these professors cannot become vibrant, whole-person individuators. As crowd creatures, their creativity is stunted, or only expressed itself professionally in very narrow, acceptable veins of development. Being without liberty or individuality, they cannot love themselves. As they do not love themselves, but hate themselves and each other, these angry, bitter sell-outs that allowed themselves to be deprived of freedom by their professional associations, their institutions, and their group affiliations, feel victimized. Once they get elite power over the masses, they will seek revenge on the little people because someone has to pay for their suffering and abysmal self-esteem. The cruelty that professors are capable of inflicting upon the masses should frighten the hell out of anyone, and Hoffer provides historical example after example of professorial abuse of power once in power.

Seventh, as groupists, bureaucrats, and zealots, professors are emotional, not logical creatures, so the decisions they make are often ill-conceived and illogical. Their inability to be intellectually versatile keeps them rigid like Professor Obama, unable to learn on the job.

Eighth, because a professor is not also out in the business world, or working with his hands, and writing brilliant concertos at night, he is narrow, isolated and extreme. His extreme subjectivity forces him to not serve as a leader of all, not objective, not enjoying the bird's eye view.

Ninth, professors are fanatics, and being a fanatic makes one rigid and one-dimensional, unable to come up with creative solutions to changing conditions on the ground.

Tenth, professors as authoritarian elitists are evil, and, in the long run, being evil makes one foolish and making mostly poor decisions.

Eleventh,  Hoffer portrays intellectuals as part of every ruling class for the last 3000 years. They crave power over the masses to direct, manage and rule them. Things are never for the common good when they are top-down with administration and reform from above.

Liberrty And Private Property

Mark Levin highlights the deep, powerful traditional American link among individualism, liberty and private property. We do not respect the individual citizen unless we maximize his liberty, and keep limited government mostly out of his way, as he asserts his private property rights, and amasses wealth. As he works, lives and maverizes as an employee or owner fighting honestly for market share in this free market economy, this environment is optimal for his enjoying of his private property rights, for his journey of individuation, and for his enjoying and development of his potential in near perfect, maximized liberty.

Muslims In Australia

I could not find an author to attribute this article, but it comes from Israel Wire.

Apparently something called The Daily Trump News picked up this article, a month old, and posted it on Facebook today (9/15/19). It was about a  picture of Muslim men or elders in Australia complaining that its national anthem was oppressive and a method of forced assimilation.

That is the complaint made public by " . . . that is the claim that the Islamist activist group Hizb ut-Tahrir claimed at the “Innocent Until Proven Muslim” conference at Bankstown, . . .". The male elders posed with a sign accusing Australians of being racist.

Let me quote the article: "The conference was attended by about 800 people. A key issue raised at the conference by the group was Muslim children being required to sing the Australian national anthem at school.

“The Australian anthem is based upon a particular view in history, it is a reading of history, and it is a statement which conforms to particular values."


Yes, the Australian and American national anthems are based on a particular view of history, and we insist that immigrants and natives alike conform to Western, democratic values and worldviews, or go home, or stay home. Islamists never assimilate anywhere, and always confront, compete with and outlast the native culture. We in the West know an enemy from within when we spot and hear from the, and shariah law needs to be outlawed here, period. Muslim kids must sing the national anthem, assimilate, say the pledge of allegiance, show respect for authority and the flag, and renounce shariah law and values from the old countries. This is not intolerant but is to protect our culture, our values, our way of life.

These elders protest, through their spokesman, Hamzah Quereshi, that they obey the laws of Australia, and that is sufficient, but they, the Muslims, and their children, reject Australian values, and should not be forced to adopt the values or assimilate. Multiculturalism leads to civil war and strife. The American Way is the best culture and political system in the world, so assimilate or not be let in--it is that simple and that final.

Let me quote that article again: "Mr. Badar told the conference. [1] There is a pretty good reason for that, like Robert Spencer has noted: “Because if you don’t adopt our values, eventually you will subvert the law."

This is what caught my eye. If you reject our values, you will subvert the law. A criminal is at war with society, so he subverts the law by breaking the law.

If Muslims refuse to assimilate and go native and be patriotic, then they will subvert the law, overthrow the law and its democratic government, and bring in totalitarian Islam and shariah law for good measure.

Mark Levin On Beto's Remarks On Seizing AR-15s

Here is my Facebook comment to Mark Levin on his disgust with Democrats for now openly planning to grab guns, starting with the AR-15s: "Mark, is there anyway you can work with Aaron Dorr of the American Firearms Coalition, and other gun-rights groups, to storm NRA meetings to make you the new President of the NRA, so that LaPierre yields to pressure to adopt a no-compromise stance on gun-control, the heroic, patriotic stance of AFC and Minnesota Gun Rights?"

Beto

Emphatically, as an owner of an AR-15, I oppose Beto O'Rourke plan to seize 16 million such rifles from Americans that own them. First, such a push by Democrats running the government is interfering with my private property rights, something they have no constitutional basis for. Secondly, as a sane and law-abiding citizen, I have my 2A rights to own my AR-15 for self-defense, for sporting, for hunting and just for the pleasure of owning it. For gun-grabbers to be allowed to seize it is unconstitutional, and is also violating natural law, as God wrote the universal, moral code to empower each individual to be able to defend himself. This is an inalienable right. Lefties like O'Rourke dismiss the existence of God, deny that the Constitution is the legal document that underwrites all legislating in America, and sneer at the concept of individual citizens enjoying liberty as self-regulated administrators of and expressing their inalienable rights, such as the right to bear arms. These moral nihilists, these totalitarian Maoists, fervently wish for and are planning to transform America into a one-party dictatorship under which the people are subjugated, reduced, helpless and terrorized by the federal Leviathan. These cruel, vicious, heartless, idealistic fanatics are bad for America, and pernicious to the well being of every citizen.

Brevity

I am not by nature a writer or speaker that is brief, to the point, nor a dispenser of poignant, clear, concise points or realizations.

But brevity, clearness of thought, fluency and coherency are very desirable as the way to communicate. Long-winded lectures, raging tirades or rambling reflections need to disappear.

Industrial

We humans are now so god-like in power, intelligence, technology and ability that it is likely that AI will soon engineer or manufacture robots that are fully conscious, thinking machines. They then posses souls (whatever that means), and are a new race of intelligent, fellow beings, that will enjoy full human rights, etc.

With that in mind, humans must continue to work with their hands and their backs, as well as their heads, hearts and imaginations. To work is to be alive, and as accomplished individuators, we will be able to compete with smart robots, and we should still do physical labor, farm, do the trades, run factories and engage in heavy industry. These efforts keep us alive, in-the-world, relevant and realistic.

Psalm 96, 4-5

Now, as a conservative Unitarian-Universalist, it must be admitted that followers of other faiths, (As long as they worship the Mother and Father, and pray to Good Spirits, now bowing down to Satan and Lera, or furthering the cause of Evil Spirits ruling this world.) have legitimacy, and their followers are our allies, not our competitors and enemies to be converted or wiped out. I love the Old Testament, but monotheistic intolerance of other faiths and other gods is not what I accept or believe. But, since I read the Bible for spiritual value and comfort, I must report its messages as written, not how I interpret doctrine extra-Biblically.

With this qualification, I still love this line from Psalm 96: "For great is the Lord and highly to be praised (Ed says: God is great and highly to be praised, appreciated and complimented often and routinely.); awesome is he beyond all gods. For all the gods of  the nations are things of nought."

God the Mother married to God the Father are the greatest, good deities, and they are awesome beyond all other gods. But, neither the Mother or Father, though enjoying near monotheistic entitlement and acknowledgement, do not denigrate good if lesser gods and goddesses worshiped by millions over historical time. These lesser deities are legitimate, welcome, partners bringing the peoples to worship on the Light Side. They are not things of nought, but are important somethings, if not theological Everythings like the Mother and the Father.

These lesser deities are not competitors to be shunned and silenced, but are partners included under the realm of beneficent influence ruled by the Mother and the Father.

Psalm 96, 1-3

Sing praises to the Mother and the Father, for their blessed, loving guidance of us, their children: "Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all you lands. Sing to the Lord, bless his name; announce his salvation, day after day. Tell his glory among the nations; among all peoples, his wondrous deeds."

Allie Stuckey

She narrates one of the finest Prager U videos on making men masculine again.

As an individuator, and Mavellonialist, the self-realiized, heterosexual man will be ordinarily masculine along lines that Allie endorses. And conservative feminists, heterosexual women, self-actualizers and yet feminine along traditional lines, will be the restored norm.

That is the binary gender world that Allie seeks restoring, and it is the only way forward.

Steve Cortes

He narrates a Prager U video in which he proved that the main stream and national media lied shamelessly about Trump in that 2017 remark about Charlottsville.

The Press is mendacious, agenda driven and telling any wild story to inculcate and brainwash the masses, preparing them to accept a transformed, Marxist America. Leftism is a growing mass movement, and the press, like other ideologues, are unprincipled, utterly ruthless ideologues working tirelessly to advance their cause, wipe out conservative opposition, and win the minds and hearts of the people over to Progressivism.

Dear Minnesota Legislator

I wrote this to a gun-grabber in the Minnesota Senate: ". . . you are a power-hungry little twerp. You favor tyranny, a one-party dictatorship run by a Marxist dictator disguised as a free-ruling President. In the Ameritopia that you lust to force middle America into, there will be lots of secret police, concentration camps, cowed citizens without guns, millions in poverty and hoplelessnes. You filthy Lefties lie as a way of life, arguing reasonable, safe gun control for the common good, when terrorizing and subjugating a subdued populace in an ex-republic in which only federal fascists and goons carry guns.

Valid Argumentation

If your logic is flawed, proven absurd, self-contradictory, or that it is missing a step, then it is utterly discredited under classical logical rules.

You know that my version of fuzzy logic does not worry about any of this. I seek to be as logical as I can, but my paradoxes, my intuitive apprehensions of truth and gapped chain of reasoning still end with the right answer, quite often. Go figure.

Caught In Our Consciousness

Are we able to know that world out there, beyond our consciousness and our experienced sensing of things outside of us? I believe that we can. If we do it correctly and realistically, we can gain knowledge of that independent world and its objects, out there, beyond our consicousness.

If we do it wrong, or in a fog of self-deceiving, the illusion-clad perceiver cannot possibly make sense of sensing things-in-themselves.

Individuators And Luxury

God is pro-individuator, and not anti- wealth or anti-capitalism--indeed God wants us to have and enjoy plenty of material comforts and advantages, and like the for profit economic system.

God the moderate also urges common sense. God does not approve of shallow materialism, ostentation or lavish spending to show off or over-indulge the self.

One has a right to live well, in taseteful, mild luxury, but, beyond that, addiction to things and splashy display is corrupting, undignified and unworthy of the veteran self-actualizer.

The Wisdom In Folk Wisdom

There is much wisdom in folk wisdom. For example, the old meme that "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

The adage really advises the life of moderation and balance as the ethical, satisfying and most happy way to live. Work hard, provide for your family, but have time for a hunting outing, or an evening of beer and pools with friends.

CVS

If Walgreens, CVS and Walmart do not want us to carry guns in their stores, then we do not need to shop there, ever. Let us get gun-friendly businesses and only shop with gun-loving patriots.

Plato's Forms

Are there really noumenal, pure, eternal archetypes in existence in objective reality that somehow participate in each person, being, creature and rock that live or did live? I do not know and the answer may not be knowable, but something like Form must exist or operate similarly to Plato's cosmology.

Fate

Fate is that basic, under-girding principle or substance out of which everything originates out of and returns to.

Ill-Wishers

You should not speak ill of others, nor pray for their demise (putting a curse on them), or working tirelessly to bring about their downfall. These are bad karma that will boomerang back on you, and it is just a poor way to proceed.

Suffering

Are you discouraged and at your wits end, not knowing what to do or where to turn.

Be heartened. There is hope and salvation through God's requested presence in your life, in this world and in the next.

No, To The Second Bill Of Rights

Levin, Page 55 and Page 56 of Liberty and Tyranny, admonished Progressives like FDR with his economic, Second Bill of Rights, as unconstitutional and dangerous: "This is tyranny's disguise. These are not rights. They are the Statists false promises of utopianism, which the Statist uses to justify all trespasses on the individual's private property. Liberty and private property go hand in hand. By dominating one the Statist dominates both, for if the individual cannot keep or dispose of the value he creates by his own intellectual and/or physical labor, he exists to serve the state. .. ."

No Grandparents Need Apply

There is an article on the Internet tonight that doctors advise grandchildren to be left alone with grandparents for the safety of the children, because grandparents may have dangerous practices or stuff in their house, causing peril to the babies.

I would advise that a world without grandparents is a primary reason that children are so lost and messed up.

A God-Given Right

Yes, owning guns is a God-given right as well as a Bill of Right in our Constitution.

I insist that God wants Americans to carry AR-15s, AK-47s and even machine guns.

We want our citizens, our citizen militia members, serving in God's army until they are 75 years old, well armed and well prepared for any contingency.

Dumping

Why is anyone dumping plastic anything into the oceans?

Page 54

In Liberty and Tyranny Mark Levin portrays the Statist agenda is setting the Constitution aside, or distorting its meaning to achieve his aim in reengineering society: "The Statist considers the judiciary his clearest path to amassing authority, for through it he can proclaim what the law is without effective challenge or concern with the fleeting outcome of an election cycle. . . And the Statist on the court tolerates representative government only to the extent that its decisions reinforce he ends. Otherwise he overrules it."

Tyranny by judicial oligarchy is now our national reality.

Honest Beto

He admits that he wants a national gun registry. It serves only one purpose--gun confiscation. Why should we give the Left universal background checks and red flag laws? These are significant concessions leading to outright confiscation.

We Are In Grave Danger

President Trump and the GOP, federally and at the state level, cannot wait to cave and allow Leftist gun-haters to gut our 2A rights. We have one helluva fight coming our way.

The Invitation

God invited you each day to praise and worship Deself. Make God happy. Make the Good Spirits happy. Make yourself happy and the loved ones around you, by accepting these invitations.

Psalm 95, 7-11

Be open-hearted and obey God, receive with cheer and assent the calling from the Mother and Father to maverize, and see De will done: "Oh, today that you would hear his voice: 'Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the desert, Where your fathers tempted me; they tested me though they had seen my works. Forty years I loathed that generation, and I said: They are a people of erring heart, and they know not my ways. Therefore I swore in my anger: They shall not enter my rest."

We are corrupt sinners that are robots, more than free-willers. But we do still wield some residual free will, and are a capable of spiritual and ethical improvement. With that residual freedom and capacity to reform and become better, God imposes upon us responsibility and accountability for choosing to obey God's calling, or to harden our hearts and sin forever more.

God allows us freedom, but divine justice will be passed on our souls when our lives are over, and if we, like the ancient, rebellious Hebrews defy God, then we may not enter the Promised Land either here on earth or in Heaven. Is it worth the risk?

The Unique

Stirner posits that the Unique is all that matter, and that the Self is the final arbiter for all questions, all judgments to be render. As a staunch individualist and moderate, I agree with his take more than not, but do differ a bit. The voice of the group, of the Law, God and neighbors require respectful consideration, and occasional yielding to by the individual due to their superior logic, their moral superiority, and the logical nature of their counterargument.

Stirner denies that divine rules, societal rules or social rules do not apply to the individual. I disagree vehemently with him. The individual should do his own thing, and should not be thwarted in chasing after his aims and dreams, but where just, sensible and benevolent divine rules, societal rules and social mores conflict with individual activity, the individual if logical, temperate and of good will, in most instances, will see the error of his ways, and take immediate corrective action to come into compliance with divine rules, societal rules or social mores.

In all other areas, his decisions must not be countered, and his liberty must not be curtailed, or that is injustice, enforced tyranny and cruelty, on many levels.

Universal Truth

Of course there is universal truth, or near to it--enough for us to build our mythologies, legal systems, our ethos and value systems upon.

True Mythology

If you talk to God, commune with God, if your irrational heart is in tune with God's sentiments, then you can be sent or devise, at least partly on your own, a true mythology about the universe, its origins, its present condition, and its destination, final or otherwise.

I do not know if I believe in false mythologies about the nature of God. If the mythology is put up by satanists or fanatics (their true mythology becomes a false mythology as their fanaticism makes it false, vicious, spurious, toxic and extreme), it is a false mythology.

If the mythology is bizarre, a wild distortion and deliberate misinterpretation of sacred text, or is factually or logically absurd, then they could be false mythologies.

For the most part God is greater than any of our narrow, parochial cosmologies. God is all things to all people, not in some sordid, deceitful way, but in an open loving way, able to, as the Absolute, to converse freely and effectively with believers from many competing, subjective points of view.

God would not regard their mythologies as false, but nor would God ever regard their mythologies as utterly true, perfectly capturing the religious sentiment of all searching souls.

The Organizers

The Mother and the Father were tired of chaos and darkness, so they created the world, structuring it with laws, regularities and order. Divine Minds devised, control and administrate this cosmos, so divine reason, divine language and meaningful, well-conceived plans of  initiation, set up and operation are embedded into this loved, created cosmos.

There is divinely minted and  divinely supplied meaning and intelligibility coursing through all the natural and artificial world of intelligent species. The Divine Logos, this Divine Providence, is decipherable by the mystic, the pious believer, the intuiter, the scientist, the philosopher.

Joseph Tartakovsky

Joseph is a lawyer and writer with the Claremont Institute. His Prager U video on Alexander Hamilton is excellent. He points out that Hamilton was an administrative genius, who probably is the Founder of our great nation, without whose tireless advocacy for a federal republic, and his impressive practical facility for breaking through impasses and getting things done is what was required at the time as the weak, feckless, indecisive Congress could not rise above petty, narrow local interests to pursue a national interest.

We do need and have a federal republic, but it needs to be cut way down to size to return to its origins as a strong, effective, frugal, efficient, limited federal government.

As an individuating anarchist, I want as much power ceded to the individual in the private sector in civil society as possible and workable, and local governance at the canton level, as much as is possible and workable.

Prager writes that the bigger the government, the smaller the individual. To invert that, the larger the Mavellonialist supercitizen, the much increased will be personal liberty and power as the government shrinks down to be its right-sized self again.

A PEOPLE PROBLEM

Someone on line noted that Maine has very little crime despite four years of permitless carrying of guns (constitutional carry).

With more Maine citizens armed and carrying, violent gun crime has gone down, not up. The writer of the article asserts that crime is a people problem not a gun problem, and he could not be more correct.

I want to see Americans with a billion guns, and the right to carry full automatic weapons. With the reimposition of the traditional family, reintroduction of God and American values into the local school, moral training, and respect for law and order, and the rights of our neighbors, we will have armed to the teeth, and violent crime will disappear.

We want 125 million armed American adults as a citizen militia, to augment and support our professional army. These supercitizens, the individuator anarchists, self-disciplining, patriotic, and armed to the teeth against all aggressors,, and as avowed members of God's army, will carry, shut down any criminal, crazy or terrorist right now, and still have peace, law and order in the streets.

To allow mavericks to be welcomed into social groups as friends, and associates, as they come in and out of social groups as they desire without criticism or repercussion, this will make them no longer feel alienated against society. Mass shooters are mostly white males and loners, so we need to bring white males back into the main culture, and make it a civil rights violation to discriminate legally and a shameful thing socially, to pick on them, isolate them and alienate them.

As mavericks feel welcome back into the community, and as part of the community, they are much less inclined to take revenge on humanity by abusing their gun-toting  rights by getting revenge on society through mass shootings.

Domestic Terrorist Organization?

So San Francisco politicians accuse NRA members of being domestic terrorists.

If you are going to lie and smear, you might as well shoot for the moon. I have been an NRA supporter and member for 20 years. I have not blown up any post offices, lately, nor intend I to do so int he future.

This old civil rights organization and its patriotic members are under attack by Progressives not loving liberty, not believing in God, America, the Constitution and the preservation of Bill of Rights items like 2A. How low they have be reduced to.

Beto O'Rourke

He insists that Americans be forced by the government to sell their AK-47s and AR-15s.

Nice to see a Leftie self-revealing with his fascist swipe at law abiding citizens exercising their private property and 2A rights, all on the road to Moscow.

Why?

You need guns to protect your family, from criminals, terrorists, invaders, crazies and fascist elements in the federal government.

Know Thyself

It would seem that Ralph Waldo Emerson coined this famous phrase, suggesting that knowledge of the self would lead to the pleasant discovery of God permanent if often unwlecomed presence in one's soul.

Emerson apparently advised that knowing the self, and growing one's soul was as if one had opened a door to an inner chamber in one's heart, and chamber with a divine portal that connects one to the Divinity directly, and this image seems useful and accurate.

As one maverizes, apperpection or self-awareness must grow, deepen, sharped and increase as the self actualizes more and more. As the individual becomes aware of the self, his knowledge about nature, God, others and the universe grows by leaps and bounds.

Not Absolute

The Statists are relativists in a bad way: they find nothing special about the Constitution, that the premier legal document and foundation for American jurisprudence grows out of the Founders believe that God made humans, made the world, and operates the world and human affairs under natural law.

Statists believe that the Constitution is living and breathing, meaning whatever it is that they deem it means to match their current political agenda and policies requiring Constitutional justification.

Levin dismisses this highhanded, crooked intellectual sleight of hand on Page 53, Liberty and Tyranny: "The Statist is not interested in what the Framers said or intended. He is interested only in what he intends or says."

Not All Things To All People

In Liberty and Tyranny, Page 52, Mark Levin reminds us that where the Constitution is silent, no judge or legislator can divine or invent rights that do not exist. They must find social solutions to meet their cultural needs, or amend the Constitution overtly: "And where the Constitution is silent, states and individuals need not be. The Constitution, and more particularly, the framework of government it establishes, are not intended to address every issue or answer every perceived grievance. This is not a defect but a strength, because the government was intended to be a limited one."

We want Americans to solved problems on their own, extra-governmentally.

False Rankings

It should never matter if someone is new money or old money. What counts is the parvenu, by their own hard work, cunning, initiative, hustle and daring, have made a small or large fortune in the marketplace.

That is no mean achievment, and being nouveau riche should be a reason for being acclaimed, not snubbed.

We want people to be self-made and successfully, materially, intellectually, spiritually and lovingly. Rising to parvenu status is a fine beginning.

Nourishing

You should be investigating new ideas, and asking endless ontological questions about existing, and where it is all headed.

Your growing, intellectual prowess is nourished by your relentless questions, ponderings and seeking for answers.

Is That Cup Real

Is the cup on your desk real? It is, more than it is not.

Can You Know An Independent World?

I believe that you can know an independent world. As an epistemological moderate, I believe that we can more than we cannot, but I cannot prove it one way or the other for sure, but will go on living, assuming that I can know things about the world out there, outside my hunches, my experience, my perception.

Active Imagination

May your muse light up like a Christmas tree as you daydream. May your reverie uncover your hunches, your link to eternal truth and beauty.

Equality

May you be equals before the law, for you were born equals at birth before God.

As a maverizer in the world, may you have opportunity equal to that of anyone else, but outcomes are on you.

Psalm 95, 6-7

Bow your head in ready reverence to God: "Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the Lord who made us. For he is our God, and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides."

Psalm 95, 1-2

Joyfully praise God: "Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord; let us acclaim the Rock of our salvation. Let us greet him with thanksgiving; let us joyfully sing psalms to him."
