Why a Classical Education is Needed Now More Than Ever

The primary reason for my suggestion of a classical education to be reintroduced today, however, is that many of the cultural problems facing the United States (and other Western nations) is a lack of understanding of the West. Ignorance of Western ideas and history has caused the West to turn against itself, to hate its “history”, to slander its greatest figures, to disregard its laws, to undo its social and economic progress, and to dynamite its very foundations.

Russian State Duma passes law banning LGBT ‘propaganda’ among all ages

The new legislation bans “propaganda of non-traditional relationships,” “propaganda of pedophilia,” and information about LGBT people and gender transitioning among people of any age through the media, the Internet, advertising, literature, and films, according to TASS.

Excellent. This type of law should be passed here at home.

A huge Democrat mess…

Democrat policies attacking morality, the family, and border security have led to this mess.

Jorge Bonilla, who works at the Media Research Center as director of the organization’s “MRC Latino,” speculated that one possible reason for the mother suddenly defending her daughter’s confessed rapist may be a fear of deportation if the authorities look more closely into the case.

“This appears to confirm my thesis of a domestic situation wherein the confessed rapist is also the paramour of the victim’s mother (other familial relation is possible but less likely),” Bonilla explained. “Unfortunately, I saw many such cases while working as a court interpreter.”

“The mother’s distressed defense of the rapist suggests that, a: She is also here illegally and fears deportation,” Bonilla continued. “B: The defendant is the family’s sole source of income, c: There is a likelihood of other children in the home, d: Mom is exposed to removal of the children under dependency proceedings (failure to protect). Has there been such a filing yet and if not why not?”

I do care what goes on behind closed doors

Well said.

Well excuse me very much, but I do care what goes on behind closed doors. I do care about the morals of a nation. Because behind closed doors are the families and the family has to be a place of refuge and stability for children. Today we are in the truly awful situation where children are given to homosexuals to live with them in their own houses as “families”. Behind closed doors.

Well, that’s where all of these problems began. And now we have a very big faggot problem, made manifest in our midst. And we are entirely to blame because we put up with them. We condoned their behavior, however tacitly, and as a result we get homo fag mayonnaise. Well, isn’t that just lovely.

Music Appreciation

I’d heard of Steve Vai but knew very little about him and had never heard him play. As far as I knew. Turns out he was with Frank Zappa before going solo, so I probably did hear him.

Steve Vai has a new “guitar.”

It’s guitarist Steve Vai‘s newly designed Ibanez “guitar”.  He calls it The Hydra,…

The Hydra is a many faceted creature with two-headstocks, three-necks that host 7 and 12-string guitars; a 4-string ¾ scale length bass; 13 sympathetic harp strings; half-fretless necks; single-coil, humbucking, piezo, MIDI and sustainer pickups; floating and hardtail tremolo bridges and phase splitters.

A strange beast it is, too. Unique. One of a kind.

And Vai makes it sounds great! That kind of talent is astronomically rare. I mean the kind of talent to dream this instrument up and then actually play it.

Enjoy!
