Thought for the Day

The West has been slowly dying by suicide for well over a century as most of our intellectuals, so called, eagerly embrace every bad idea to hasten the process.

The late Fr. Benedict Groeschel once remarked in one of his talks, regarding the disastrous religious order leadership subsequent to Vatican II, “To screw things up, you need smart people: but to really, really, really, REALLY screw things up, you need really, really, really, REALLY smart people.”

AOC, Obama, Clinton, Schumer, Pelosi, Biden and Harris. The really really really really really Really, REALLY smart people.

Kamala Harris. Fools gold.
[ She would be honored to be called that. ]

The name Charlie Kirk was coming to mind as I was pondering a dummy to combat these smarties. May God have mercy on his soul and may God multiply courageous men like Charlie, to stand in the breach as Charlie did.

In higher education, you have the institutional president, the provost and his minions, the dean of students, and (commonly) the personnel director and her minions. You have the corrupted occupational programs (‘education’. ‘social work’, library administration). Within the arts and sciences faculty, you have the corrupted departments and course sequences (studio art, sociology, anthropology, American history, and a scrum of inter-disciplinary programs). And for every bad faculty member, you have a corps of enablers who hired him, granted him tenure, do nothing about his misbehavior. (And, of course, you have the Faculty Mutual Aid Society who issue denunciations of anyone who point out that misbehavior). All of this is permitted by worthless and suborned institutional trustees. These are our Bourbons. They deserve much of what the Bourbons received.

Genuine education is gold.
Socialist formation in a echo chamber is like breeding stronger viruses or creating malevolent thinking machines.

Oh wait…. 🤦

Kamala Harris gave a speech at Planned Parenthood in Florida where she cited Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Life for us was not in her agenda.
