Defending The Founding Fathers

Rich Lowry takes on the NY Times 1619 production, which explained that the US revolution was motivated by a desire to avoid the British abolitionists. He has them outnumbered.

Frequently Unasked Questions: This NY Times 1619 project has a broad scope and its mission is to show that America was founded on slavery, built by slaves and remains hideously racist today. My queston - what is the involvement of Times editor Sarah Jeong, who quite famously hates white people (but its OK, because progressive reasons.)

From Jeffrey Goldstein (Protein Wisdom):UPDATE ON MY LAST POST
Helen and I just spent the morning talking to so credit counselors, and there’s a real chance we may be able to salvage our situation, if Helen’s raise does in fact come through.

We initially thought we’d need somewhere in the neighborhood of $36-40K, but with a debt management program cutting some of our payments and interest rates — and the possibility that we could qualify for hardship programs based on Satchel’s medical condition — it’s looking more like $15K would allow us to reach our goal and save our house and car without taking a serious hit to our credit (right now, we’re both in the 700s on our credit scores).

This would allow us time to sell the house, if need be, and downsize, while keeping our credit high enough to purchase a smaller home.

I want once again to thank all of you who have been so generous to me and my family. For the first time in several months, I feel hopeful.

Please pass this post along to anyone you know who might be able to help. My wife and I have thus far tried to keep the boys from worrying about our hardship; with your help and charity — or if you’re opposed to this as charity, just consider access to pw archives and any new material a kind of service — we have a fighting chance.

We are roughly $10K away from solvency — which is a damn sight better position to be in than we thought was our situation last night.

And for that, again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Had a feeling that would be the case. I betcha if Trump approached it from the "let the indigenous* decide not you creepy, white priveleged, Eurotrash, Viking creeps" angle he might just nab it.
Use guile to guilt the slimey Danes into it.

*Of course it seems the Norsemen were there before the Inuit so indigenous is as indigenous does.

When I came out of the hills of Montana at the end of 2nd grade, my mom made an edict that I will attend whatever Sunday school I chose until further notice. I tried several in the little farm town and ended up at the Presbyterian where I really enjoyed the learning and the companionship of a neighbor buddy (who eventually became a preacher) and his kid sister who was in my class at school. Vacation Bible School and all.

When we moved to Seattle, I had only a Lutheran church to go to that also was the home for the local scout troop. Well, after awhile, the minister cornered me and said, “Fish, or cut bait, kid.” ...Bye!

Never looked back, in spite of my three older sisters praying for me ever since. The several dozen persons of the Cloth I’ve interacted with since, all to varying degrees made my skin crawl.

I’ve never felt ‘lost’, or in need of guidance that I didn’t readily get from quiet or meditative time. Never felt the need to know the countless ‘rules/laws’ that seems to push towards being more of a lawyer than a follower.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

In particular they wanted to know if:

1) I had been out of the country in the last 30 days.

2) Had been in the presence of anyone with obvious fever symptoms recently.

3) If I had a fever in the last 30 days.

Seems like they are anticipating a new Ebola epidemic, and that it might end up here.

OL@5:06,

My point exactly that Barone reports what moves HIS needle, and if no one covers the fraud angle, in toto, in HIS SOURCES, then it didn’t happen.

Overton windows move up and down the timeline, dependent upon saturation of spin. Well, we know full well that the current leftist assault is failing, because too many are “walking away”.

There's an old joke about the difference between how Democrats and Republicans make love. The Democrat sits on the edge of the bed and tells you how great it's going to be. I don't remember the other so I'm going to say the Republican will tell you how much better making love was during the Reagan Administration.

[cathyf]

My diagnosis of the Catholic Church is quite different...

What I saw was that Pope John XXIII called Vatican II, and all of the whip-smart bishops of the 40s & 50s brought their young, smart theologians and grabbed the reigns. The Curia was completely out smarted, out gunned, and overwhelmed. Then Il Papa died, the Council ended, and the Curia put the screws on Paul VI and got him to ignore his Birth Control Commission and promulgate Humanae Vitae. But instead of returning the faithful to tame pray/pay/obey as they expected, the encyclical blew up the Church’s moral authority entirely. Priests and nuns bailed, seminaries and convents emptied out.

Once JP II was elected, the Curia fought very hard to ensure that there would never be smart enough bishops to repeat the “disaster” of Vatican II. All of those smart young theologians should have been bishops, but the Curia made sure that JP II didn’t appoint them. Ratzinger was in the last group ordained by Paul VI, and so three decades later when JP II died, there was literally no one left besides Ratzinger who wasn’t a dullard. Benedict’s bishops are excellent, but he ran out of time, and none of them were senior enough when he resigned. Pope Che is simply the least dumb of a pretty dull group.

As for why he resigned, I think that came about because he watched, mostly helpless, while the nutjobs ran riot as JP II declined. Maciel, Opus Dei, the run of “new evangelization” priests (eg Corapi, Pavone) setting up cults outside of the hierarchy, etc. And, quite charmingly, Benedict is a very modest man, who always vastly underestimated his own authority. (It always cracked me up when he would reference some obscure theologian to back up something which he had already explained clearly and convincingly. Dooooood! You’re the Pope! Ya got the cred!) I think that he realized that he was slipping, and he bailed because he thought he was in worse shape than he was.

While Pope Francis is a short guy among midgets, he’s far from the worst Pope we’ve had! (Just search on “Iron Age of The Papacy” if you are looking for the stuff in the “it took a thousand years, but we can laugh now” category...)

Boy killed by a tree? We need immediate killer tree legislation. Background checks, mental health exams to sort out the good trees from the bad ones.

Oh, wait, never mind, it fell on him. It was a backyard suicide tree with only one 4 year old victim. Think how much worse it could have been at a schoolyard or playground.

I apologize for being insensitive to what a devastating loss it must have been to his parents.

The click-bait headline was "Playhouse is dedicated to boy killed by tree," Which is a really odd way to write a headline.

Sourced from the NYT, so I don't know if the analysis is correct.

I do know that the camp where ISIS forces and their families are being held is a problem.

There isn't enough information on the individuals to subject them to war crimes trials. Foreign nations don't want to repatriate their citizens for the same reason.

In the mean time ISIS runs the internal politics in the camps.

The Syrians don't want them either.

Nobody wants to implement the correct action of killing all of them, because that's not who we are.

An outbreak of Ebola would be nice.
