Another powerful secret cabal I haven't been asked to join.
Well, when my destructo ray finally works, I'll show them. I'll show them all! They scoffed at my ideas! Now they will bow before my omnipotence! BwahahahahaHAHAHAHAHA!
Hey RWP, if they're publishing in the NYT, I don't think it's reasonable to conclude this is exactly a "secret cabal."
But if they ever do ask you to "join them," please do have the good sense to just say NO.
Why are you having so much fun, at my putative expense -- with your "destructo ray," etc.? I was not making up any of this stuff.... It's all on the public record, courtesy of the media outlet that prides itself on publishing "all the news that's fit to print."
Doctor Ferris! There you are. Project Xylophone is ready to go and we are waiting for you to pull the switch. ;-)
Look, this is my first real experience with the CREVO debate on this forum. But, I am getting the feeling that I have stumbled into a maelstrom (or simply turned on the 'mayhem' switch). My first observation would be... that we certainly see now that the term Conservative is invalid to describe those who uphold the concept of Constitutional Primacy and Individual Sovereignty. We vote Republican primarly because it is the closest thing that we have to meaningful representation at this point in time. But there is no real concensus among us that the status quo is a defensible position... especially since the current status of the nation's vector is suicidal chaos at the hands of dimwitted Leftists and their irrational belief in the primacy of feelings and the indefinable concept of human rights.
My second observation is that there is a great schizm in the belief system of the defenders of man that can not be overcome because the two will NEVER be able to make each other agree. This begs the question... Do we need to agree on this? Really! Ask yourselves that. Because if the answer is no, then the Leftists Dem's will continue to feed on our struggle for eternity. The left represents the worst of both worlds... Slavery to mystic collectivism on the one hand, and the chaos of relativity in an irrational universe on the other. Yet if WE (the defenders of man - including as a primary part woman) agree on one concept... that here and now man exists and deserves to exist by the fact of his being and creation, regardless of how that happened, then we can forever be unified on the primacy of the concept that man deserves to exist for his own sake, to pursue his own goals, in accordance with his own values, on behalf of whatever God he chooses to acknowledge, and that a government by the people and for the people protects each accordingly in their quest for life and liberty and happiness. Then we will all be unified under a common armor that will never be penetrated. the Leftists will be crushed for eternity... banished to the rotting carcasses of Western Civilization that remain in Europe and elsewhere on the Earth feeding off of individual prosperity when and where they can find it within the realm of the Hell that they will create by means of their own debaucherous nothingness.
And we can simply and peacefully discuss Aristotle and Christ.
Which world do you want?
