"Fondness and loyalty to one's own doesn't mean disparagement of others." --ProCivitas, 5/09
"Corporate Socialism is degenerate." --ProCivitas 10-3-08
"The Porn Culture of New York and L.A. is too prevalent." --PrCivitas 5/09
"If there is an Objectively Intended purpose for the human species it is probably to wage peace, protect life, and explore the universe." -- ProCivitas 2/2008
One of the ten best jokes: Q: What goes 'Clip-clop...clip-clop...BANG!...clip-clop...clip-clop...BANG!'? A: an Amish drive-by shooting.
"Each Nation should be its own best market first." --ProCivitas 10/14/2008
"The Democratic Party is a coalition of corrupt interest groups seeking the public's money or preferential status at the expense of their neighbors." -- ProCivitas, 7/2002
"Re Animal Rights: Conservative policies tend to protect the weak against predation. If we are not Protectors, we are not fully Conservatives. Unnecessary harm to any sentient being is unethical." -- ProCivitas, 8/2008
"As a matter of procedural ethics, homosexual relations are equivalent to commercial sex/prostitution, polygamy, polyamory/fornication/promiscuity, and 'solitary vice' for two or more players: i.e. it is consentual but counterproductive behavior among adults.
Consent "don't make it a good idea" (as Chris Rock might say), and that doesn't make it something our public would choose to recognize/honor as 'marriage'. And defining all or none of these behaviors as marriage is a 'public policy question' for citizens and legislatures, not a 'civil rights question' for courts.
Re the 'public policy question' of calling any of these behaviors 'marriage' and according them public benefits, the reason we haven't is that most of us don't believe these behaviors do any good, much less serve the traditional purposes/function of natural marriage.
For a rough analogy, a group's demonstrated enthusiasm for setting fire to items of their own property isn't likely to earn them a public standing as licensed Firemen. And an ardent interest in banging copper pipes together doesn't qualify a person for public licensure as a Plumber." -- ProCivitas, 6/2008
"The Question Of Our Age: "Where's Dad?"... 'Shared Physical Custody Guidelines'/ Parental Equality should be the general family law standard in divorce cases in all states. Divorce or non-marriage doesn't negate the mutual responsibilities of both parents. Shared Parenting/Parental Equality is the right of all kids and fit parents." -- ProCivitas 10/2007
"No 'free trade' without Fair Trade. Economic Patriotism, not Economic Treason. 'Each Nation should be its own best market first.' -- ProCivitas 2/2008
" Companies and other institutions usually shouldn't hire/appoint non-married people to positions of prominence and leadership. Sets a bad example. If someone hasn't developed the emotional/psychological maturity to maintain a lifelong loving relationship with a husband or wife, they're probably relatively less well-suited to positions of high responsibility. It's a fair question to ask: "Is there some reason you haven't settled down with a member of the opposite sex?" And there must be less clumsy ways to ask it. " -- ProCivitas, 3/2008
" 'Go to the Amish'. Russians and others concerned about their demographic decline should consider how to convert much of their economy toward an Agrarian one. Agrarian economics tends to place high value on men and all members of a working household and leads to greater 'mutual appreciation' and big families. It also leads to a more stable, rooted, less 'atomized' culture." -- ProCivitas 4/07
"Corporatism is the new Communism: illegitimate, semi-totalitarian, and destructive." -- ProCivitas, 12/7/2007
"The Communist totalitarian regime occupying China is an organized atrocity, and should be removed from Tibet ... and China." --ProCivitas 10/2007
"It's important that we advance 'fairness in family law and the equal treatment of fathers and mothers in family court'." -- ProCivitas 1/1998
" What would the price of things be in a market un-hyped/un-inflated/un-impaired by inordinate financing, insurance, subsidy, and third-party-payers? What then would be the 'real market' prices of education, medical services, houses, cars, etc...paid for by 'cash on the barrellhead'? A: pronouncedly lower." -- ProCivitas 11/2007
"Apparently our currency is devalued with any inordinate lending by banks, or by foreigners lending to the U.S. Government through our bonds/debt.
Currently ours is an economy where money is 'created' whenever fractional banking (with 5% or whatever 'required reserves') extends loans, mostly by electronic transfer records, for most of the big-ticket items we buy now (Houses, cars, education, medical services...) and increasingly for so much of our other purchases through credit cards (at grocery stores, auto repair shops, restaurants, etc.).
The theoretical limit to the 'money supply' then becomes whatever the extent of our induceable appetite may be as a nation for 'credit' from the moneylending industry. Add to that the propensity for spending (devaluing currency) induced by making 'cheap' money through all 'third-party payers': insurance, government subsidy/transfer payment, financing ...
That's a debauched currency ... and a debauched culture." -- ProCivitas 9/2007
Interesting sub-culture of Douglas Adams fans('Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy' etc.), Fry & Laurie, They Might Be Giants, Barenaked Ladies, Monty Python, Black Adder, Tom Lehrer, M.C. Escher, ... what is it?
"The corporate media present a stupefying mantra of 'who'se ahead ?' ad nauseum as their self-serving replacement of substantive campaign coverage. Incompetent, telegenic people can thereby pose as reporters, ask 'how are you going to win?' repeatedly and pressure campaigns to hand-over more millions to corporate media for vague fluff ads. It's degenerate." -- ProCivitas 1/2008
"Gorillas, Bonobos, Rhinos and Elephants are gentle, loving, and vegetarian. Humans should go and do likewise, and also protect them." -- ProCivitas 2/2008
"I'm not sure why some folks make such a fetish of 'intelligence', however poorly we measure it. What seem to matter most are character (being good-natured), 'psychological stability', prudence, perseverance, being loving, and taking an interest in things." -- ProCivitas 10/2007
One of the ten best jokes: What do you get when you cross a Unitarian Universalist with a Jehovah's Witness? A: Someone likely to knock on your door on a Saturday afternoon for no particular reason.
"Re pay differences by gender, the '79 cents per male dollar' feminist propaganda of course compares all male wages IN AGGREGATE to all female wages IN AGGREGATE. Well, we men IN AGGREGATE do different work requiring more skill, risk, physical endurance, and training/investment; We do it longer and more consistently over a career(i.e. no time out for being subsidized by a spouse for the truly rewarding privilege of raising one's kids); we bear more responsibility for being the primary income to an intact family; and the male wageslaves IN AGGREGATE are older than their female counterparts by at least a few years. Most folks earn more with a few more years experience. Adjusted for these relevant factors, there's probably a slight bias in favor of women, and against men...
Having dumped at least a few hundred million women on the labor market over the past forty years, thus driving down male wages (and the Corporatist agenda is well-served by this), feminists now use the '79cents/dollar' propaganda to scam/persuade employers that comparable female workers can be had at a bargain relative to the male competition. (Economically displacing men.) It also serves to promote an hospitable environment for discrimination lawsuits, anti-male legislation, and grievances from the subsidized, privileged gender." -- ProCivitas 11/2007
"Given a family-wage job, a man will tend to marry and provide for a wife. The reverse tends not to be true; With profound results for the economy and culture of Northern nations." -- ProCivitas 2/2008
"Men usually 'marry down' financially, and women usually 'marry up' financially. 'And thereby hangs a tail' re the future of this country. Hypergamy. " --ProCivitas 10/2008
"No artificial conception without a marriage license. No marriage license without a valid natural marriage. There is no 'right' to adoption and artificial conception for the perversion community, free from public standards of protecting children. Kids deserve a decent Mom and Dad whenever possible.
Those basic, reasonable standards for artificial conception clinics and adoption agencies should still be the law of our land, and candidates for office should raise the issue and be questioned on it by voters." -- ProCivitas 11/2007
"No one should be considered an American citizen just because they were born of illegal aliens within our borders. Our Law should be changed to reflect this." -- ProCivitas 11/2007
"What effective methods do you suppose we have for detecting when public officials have opened off-shore bank accounts and/or arranged for 'bag-men' to receive bribe money/payoffs on their behalf?." -- ProCivitas 12/2007
"Regarding the term 'feminism'... If a movement were established called 'White-ism' and its members assured you they just favored racial fairness and equality, would you believe them? The term 'Feminism' similarly suggests by its exclusionary nature, that it's mostly about anti-male factionalism." -- ProCivitas 11/2007
"Predatory economics is unnecessary and semi-criminal." --ProCivitas 2/2008
"Those engaged in organized crime and semi-crime can and should find better, ethical ways to earn a living." -- ProCivitas 2/2008
"Toward a better Citizenship Policy: More Mandatory Exile/repatriation for criminal cases. Voluntary Repatriation Incentives for non-criminal cases of dysfunction to whatever continent is most appropriate. Did wonders for Roger Williams and Rhode Island, and later it helped give Liberia its start." -- ProCivitas 12/2007
"In America the homosexual community is a well-funded/organized faction that forms law advocacy groups, homosexual business directories, homosexual political PACs, and career-advancement groups in many career fields to the exclusion of non-homosexuals. And pushes for pro-homosexual indoctrination programs in the public/government primary and secondary schools, often at taxpayers' expense.
And I think 'faction' is the right term, i.e. working for their own gain at the relative expense of others. (e.g. undermining the 'freedom of non-association' that's everyone's natural right in matters of employment, housing rental, etc.) Generally the pro-homosexual faction seems to operate as part of the roughly 'anti-whitemalestraightchristian' coalition." -- ProCivitas 11/2007
"Certain topics separate the 'economic patriots' from the mercenary whores. Much of corporate America seems to have a disloyalty problem." --ProCivitas 10/2007
"We all (media, voters, etc.) need better criteria by which to evaluate/ discuss political campaigns. I would strongly suggest that the 'Advocacy Impact' of a campaign -- of introducing 'key facts' and topics into general circulation is hugely significant -- beyond who wins a particular seat.
By this 'Advocacy Impact' standard some high-funded but vague campaigns rate kinda low as they don't actually deliver any identifiable 'key facts' into the public discourse.
On the other hand, I would bet that some such as Duncan Hunter's, Ralph Nader's, and Ron Paul's campaigns would have a high 'Advocacy Impact Index' rating. All campaigns can keep a fair rough-estimate total of the people attending speeches, receiving fact-flyers, hearing radio ads, reached by neighborhood canvassing... That number multiplied by the number of 'key facts' and topics introduced, and multiplied again by a coefficient of impact (0 to 1) would give us something like that 'Advocacy Impact Index'.
That's a lot more substantive than indulging/repeating/supporting the 'who's ahead?' mantra of mercenary corporate media. Advocacy impact is a strong, though under-reported, measure of a campaign's success." -- ProCivitas 1/2008
"'The Best Interests of the Child'(the standard generally cited by courts in divorce/child custody cases) are best served by shared physical custody with an agreed custody plan. Thus neither parent is marginalized. That marginalization, or alienation, is destructive to kids --- and the harm to either parent shouldn't be discounted either. The 'best parent' is both parents, usually." -- ProCivitas 11/2007
"I've never known the worker-owners of a Worker Co-op to send their own jobs overseas, or anyone else's."-- ProCivitas 12/06
"Most of the Occupy Movement and the grass-roots of the Tea Party Movement share noble goals, frighten the Predatory Parasite Corporatists, and should make common cause." -- ProCivitas 11/11
'Was ever a man so maligned ? Was ever a man so misunderstood ?' -- ProCivitas,'07
" Leftism is not Progressive : Progressives favor organic farming, decentralization, 'Ghandian economics', fair + open process, natural energy for producing electricity, and co-ops.
Leftists favor coercive socialism, predatory trade, parasitism, corrupt patronage, ideological reductionism and indoctrination, moral degeneracy, adversarial factionalism, and the idolatry of power."-- ProCivitas 5/2006
"Leftists are totalitarian thugs when in power, anarchic thugs when not in power, and wheedling subversives always." -- ProCivitas 5/2006
"Leftists pursue degenerate goals by illegitimate means."-- ProCivitas 9/2004
"The Leftist mode of discourse is inquiry, propaganda, evasion and slander."--ProCivitas 5/06
"Leftism is more a mental pathology than a particular political program."-- ProCivitas 7/06
"The Leftist pathology is characterized by an adversarial temperment of paranoia, delusions of grandeur, and narcissism."--ProCivitas 7/06
"Leftists don't always wear the labels you would expect."--ProCivitas 7/2006
Some Historical Varieties of Leftism: Robespierre and Jacobin 'Reign of Terror' (circ.1790), Lenin-Stalin-Mao and Communism (circ.1917-), Mussolini and Fascism (circ. 1925-45), Hitler and Nazism (circ. 1932-45)
Some Important Contrasts: Conservative vs. Corporatist, Progressive vs. Leftist, Investors vs. Predatory Speculator-Parasites,
Key Constituency Groups of the Left: 'Anti-male' feminists; 'anti-white' racists; public payroll parasites; the drug sub-culture; litigation parasites; trust fund semi-parasites; the 'non-profit sector' payroll; corrupt public contractors; corrupt trade-associations seeking legal preference; corrupt unions seeking legal preference; corporate parasites on 'corporate welfare'; financier parasites; indoctrinated media leftists; indoctrinated academic leftists; organized crime; non-organized criminals; sub-cultures of the sexually confused; ethnic faction groups; the insane and highly neurotic community; moral relativists, nihilists, esoteric gnostics, egomaniacs, and those averse to God...
'What then, brothers, shall we do?' Civic Activism requires that one be dedicated, informed, ethical and good-natured, and prudent in the budgeted use of one's time. It's important to allocate our limited time to specific tasks and projects, and it's best to do them in teams of 2 or more people ( hence 'civic fellowship'). If you don't already know some members for your local 'civic team', check out things like Heritage Foundation's on-line TownHall.org TownSquare for a conservative group that meets in your area, or maybe MeetUp.com's various conservative groups locally. Or stop in on an active Republican Town Committee in your area. Talk with the folks at these meetings and identify some who'd like to work on some projects and tasks with you.
Projects/Tasks like what? Well, things probably need to improve in your town, county, and state. It's likely that your fellow citizens are vague about their public budgets, their school curricula comparatively, and the changes in laws/ordinances that should occur at whatever level. A good first project is to post a local Budget-In-Brief/Synopsis on a 8.5x14" sheet on all local bulletin boards, etc, highlighting what you like, and include the meeting time/place of your local Selectman/City Council/Finance Committee/or School Board, along with the contact telephone number for your group. (estimated time to complete Budget-In Brief project: 3-4 hrs.) Other Project/tasks : the citizens of every state should have the rights of 'recall'and 'referendum',but not all do. Judgeships should probably be renewed/reviewed by voters every 6 years or so. 'Shared Parenting Guidelines' laws should probably be enacted in every state to uphold the fair and equal treatment of fathers and mothers in family court, and reduce frivolous divorce. The Tech School, High School, and College grads from your county should probably be informed as to why it's important and how it's viable to work, build businesses, and put down roots/raise families in your county. Being 'your own best market first', it's probably a good idea to inform and foster a mutual loyalty among your fellow citizens toward local businesses/industry. If your primary and secondary school curriculum doesn't include a solid introduction to local and state history/culture it should. And so on.
Advocacy:Whatever your area of foreign policy interest, there are usually a few 'think tank' advocacy groups, a foreign newspaper or two, a few federal agencies, a State Department desk officer, a CIA desk officer, some Congressional committee and sub-committee members, and some corporations, labor unions, and trade associations that share your interest, even if they don't all agree with you. The idea is to identify those that are persuadable to your preferred policy, and get them to focus on it and do something. Specify the particular personnel that are responsible for policy decision and implementation. Compile their telephone numbers, addresses, and email on your 'civic contact'list. Correspond with them. Obtain their position and reasoning. If you differ and remain unpersuaded, compile the 'key facts' of your position and communicate them up the 'chain of command' within the organization, perhaps sending a 'courtesy copy'(cc:) to a media correspondent and/or Congressional staff who agree with you (for accountability -- it sometimes helps if employees within an organization understand that you're not raising the topic as an ignorable, isolated individual).
Direct Action: You are usually at liberty to fund whatever or travel to wherever you think best. You can establish correspondence with citizens of other countries, assist in starting businesses, legal/advocacy groups, credit unions/lending/investment groups, radio stations, self-defense groups, neighborhood associations, etc. If prudent, you can organize 'civil disobedience' projects that will bring attention to an issue, so long as you are informed of/willing to accept the legal penalties for a 'civil disobedience' action, -- and so long as the action is ethical, prudent, and good-natured in keeping with the Conservative Tradition.
