Potius Mori Quam Foedari

Loosely translated, “Death before dishonor.”

Brand-new blogger Brad the Bastard paid me this high compliment:

When Stacy dies his wife should save herself some money and put just one word on his tombstone — RELENTLESS.

Did anyone think that when I caught the whiff of bovine excrement around the “Free Kate” narrative, and realized those trashy grifters were trying to use gay rights to undermine age-of-consent laws, that I was going to stop fighting before the foe was vanquished?

Hell to the no.

A principle was at stake. Liars should never triumph over the honest, nor should the virtuous fear the evildoer, and whatever you think about lesbianism or teen sex, a respect for the rule of law is all that stands between us and the utmost savagery.

Having chosen this fight, it would have been dishonorable for me to have given up the fight, knowing how the Hunt family had lied and demonized those who stood on the side of law and decency.

“To live for the moment is the prevailing passion — to live for yourself, not for your predecessors or posterity. We are fast losing the sense of historical continuity, the sense of belonging to a succession of generations originating in the past and stretching into the future.”
— Christopher Lasch, The Culture of Narcissism

Too often nowadays, we lose sight of our heritage and forget how our ancestors prevailed under circumstances far more daunting than anything we are likely to face today. The descendants of patriots and pioneers ought never forget how God preserved their ancestors in the struggle. We should strive to emulate that antique courage, to deserve the good name they have bequeathed us, and to pass along this invaluable patrimony that is ours by inheritance.

Each of us, as Americans, are heirs to this tradition, of the men who crossed the Delaware and marched in the snow that bitter December night to surprise the Hessian troops at Trenton. Likewise every patriot gets choked up with pride to think how, in another bitter December, the commander of those G.I.s surrounded at Bastogne received the German demand for surrender and replied with one word: “Nuts.”

Knowing what miracles were wrought in our history to deliver to us this republic, are we to be cheated of our rightful inheritance by thugs and liars and their dishonest enablers in the intellectual elite?

Hell to the no.

Courage is contagious. Stand up and fight, and if you can withstand the enemy’s ferocious attacks, other good and decent people will be inspired by your example and rally to your standard.

Most of all, make up your mind at the outset of the fight:

Success in any endeavor starts with the resolute determination to succeed. No matter how formidable the competition, hold your head up high. They’re no better than you, and victory begins with the decision to rule out the possibility of defeat. “Can’t never could.”

Hit ’em as hard as you can, and keep hitting until you win.

Death before dishonor!

Psalm 63

1 (A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.) O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Hence the righteous rage. These Neo-Visigoths want to be savage brutes. It never occurs to them that fattened cows are the first to be slaughtered on the altar dedicated to the gods of their own fetid pleasure.

This nature, of K. Hunt, was affected by her nurture. Very sad for this 19 year old. She grew up in a time when Zimmerman faced all the states power and was influenced, this state being Florida and “being.”

Her parents I have little empathy for, using their child as ammunition.

And then ?$$&&-!-$ with RSM?

Who does that?

What deserves focus is what I have and will continue to term “Kepler’s Ledge.”

The focus is because it is/was MY TERM.

I protect its meaning so as to continue my mindset of scarcity, but I do it for reasons Ironic not simply because I hate economics and personal responsibility, though I do via my actions not words.

Hence henceforth forthwith term limits.

The idea Goldstein didn’t term terms shows why he developed a killer physique.

Quite unBuckley considering the effeminate nature jerks attribute to Bill.

O Glorious Prince of the heavenly
host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the
terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and
powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil
spirits.

Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal,
made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from
the tyranny of Satan.

Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels,
as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and
his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there
place for them any longer in Heaven.

That cruel, ancient serpent, who is
called the devil or Satan who seduces the whole world, was cast into
the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men
has taken courage.

Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about
with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order
to blot out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and
cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal
glory.

This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom
of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of
lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity,
and of every vice and iniquity.

These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and
bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid
impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself,
where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as
the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable
impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been
struck, the sheep may be.

Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the
lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They
venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories
as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God
entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude.

Oh,
pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far
conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and
harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so
that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord; and
vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan,
do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer
seduce the nations. Amen.
