15 June 22   The Privileged Class!   When leftist politicians say ARs are the ‘preferred weapon of criminals,” so therefore must be banned from private possession by “ordinary citizens” (the very politicians who propose such things predictably, and quietly, make an exception for themselves, of course), it is akin to saying:   “Fords, the […]

17 May 22   “And you throw-off every conceptual cloak of self-defense.   You give-up fleshly resistance of your ego.   ‘Repentance’ has nothing to do with self-serving ‘sorrow’ for transgressions and resultant poor outcomes.   Repentance is an ecstatic self-emptying, a precipitous change of mind about your mode of thinking and being.”   Christos […]
