What I'm getting at is this: we need to do some serious soul-searching on these and other questions if our other efforts are to succeed. Action uninformed by principle is not a slogan I wish to endorse.

1. What, in your view then, are 'our efforts'?

2. To which actions do you refer, that are uninformed by principle?

1) i would hope that our efforts are directed toward political and social restitution and reconstruction. We've been hammered from within and without for quite some time now, and I think our culture could use some maintenance, at least. Ideally, a counter-revolution, even if only an intellectual one.

2) Action uniformed by principle: For us to defeat our enemies, at home and abroad is not sufficient. The necessity for survival is of course paramount, but i repeat: what are we defending? OUr Christian heritage, the enlightenment, the Rights of Man? These things may all be noble, but they are in many respects mutually contradictory, and i think some of our woes are caused by elements in our own intellectual pedigree.

why crush the left and the Wahabbists only to be done in by atheists, to simplify somewhat?
