I am loathe to type anything whatsoever after the vicious and alarming tragedy which struck the city of Boston last wed. However, we can all - left and right - breathe easily now. The terrorist threat is no more, unequivocally. Our country is now, as of the capture (and exhibition of the identity of) of the terrorists who shook America to it's boots, authentically free from immediate threat. Boston, objectively, has been vindicated.
The major story, as I once commented on in regards to an Occupy protest I soured and spat at directly at the DNC, is not the Lamestream picture being pumped into every goof-box of every hardworking citizen of the world; in fact, the major story is one which no one may ever become aware of!
The major story's are the behind the scenes Police work of Gov'ment agencies far and wide and - to be sure - in the country's city of Boston. This is the only interesting angle to many of us, and is surely something I wouldn't be qualified to speculate on. But the distance between average Harold free citizen and the Boston city and people-hood has been removed.
We
are
all
Bostonians.
...Today it seems.
But the victory of State and/or Federal government agencies in capturing these viciously leftist Russians should and, according to DDU INFO HEADQUARTERS in Raleigh, NC - ahem, will signal for many that we are out of danger. The fear is now unnecessary.

"Thank you, I would like to say that I'm praying for all of the people of Boston and the people of Texas, not to even speak of the fine officials of State and/or Federal Government. I absolutely apologize for my sick joke -
Which is, of course this blog. The only thing I would like to be official about myself is the valuations made within this blog. No, I don't like to say these things - I'm just doing my duty (no pun intended). Thanks for reading, but I recommend not viewing this page anymore.

Empathy and Compassion: Sentiments of Heart
"Until in anger he
And his cheeks are flushed with shame,
Unholy every note of his song."
- Friedrich Holderlin
Each of us in our own way is shut off from Sympathy, by virtue of our having been estranged from that which is closest to our core senses, one is torn in the alienation of having become. And yet, the bound meaning of world and morals renders void an indominable sense of kinship.
The clown of the corporeal etherealizations, "heaven on earth" ethic and posture, remain even until tomorrow the unbecoming anti-natural inclinations inherent in love as an interlude between lust, happiness, and the mortal coil. One would observse such inclinations in the animal kingdom.
We always understand in a direct, basic sense what the apprehension of subjective selfhood entombs as our objective worldliness. If you have no television, the idea of subjective selfhood seems agape in it's obtrusive ideological candor. The esotericism entrenched in neo-pragmatism makes it's own limits explicit in lasting absolute obscenity.
This obscene alienation is the heart of Sympathy, Empathy and Compassion.
Post-Deconstructionism posits that for-the-sake-of this is meant that of God's mercy, and should one posit anything whatsoever regarding this Enlightenment-Era constitution, need nothing remain posture nor recompense. The need of being-alongside-others is made concrete in the formulations of the classical-as-such. The necessity to be-for-others makes concrete the drive for classical "Rights".
For the only regress of an intolerable hatred for tolerance-as-such is in a kind of trace. The trace of worldhood, as an entity, making explicit the worldliness of a totality-of-tools. The ready-to-hand makes itself known to us in light of ontical-ontological priority. What is a service, lest it be in the name of priority?
Let's go to another point of recompense.
That of the delimiting of dasein in the world.
The limits of dasein.
The limit of knowledge is merely that which makes itself known in the immediate.
Everyday dasein is that which is true. Alienation, the fixture of servitude and malice. Thinking beyond self...
The limits remain.
The easy way out remains beyond, in fact, the limitations of delimiting.
From "Variations on the Devil"
And his cheeks are flushed with shame,
Unholy every note of his song."

Beyond Collectivism: Anti-Capitalistic Ideologies and Where They Stand
I've talked a bit recently about the ideologies stemming from early philosophers from the young Hegelian school of thought, and tied it to the general term, collectivism. To focus this in the broader spectrum of various ideologies, I will be giving a short bucket list:
1) Communism - This ideology places all of the power of a country or state in the hands of government. Left Wing.
2) Anarchism - No Government. Right Wing.
3) Libertarianism - There is a role for government, but it should be strictly limited. Right Wing.
4) Tea Party - a Centrist Position. Neither right nor left wing.
5) Soft Socialism - Refers to a "Mixed economy" in line with the european model. Left Wing.
6) Fascism - A form of socialism. Left Wing.
Some, such as the tea party and libertarianism are explicitly pro-capitalism. Others such as Fascism, Anarchism, and Communism are implicitly anti-capitalism. Soft Socialism, as such, is neither explicitly anti-capitalism nor implicitly pro-capitalism.
The spectrum, in degree's of extremity of position, consists of the following.
<---communism -="" :="" anarchism---="" fascism="" libertarianism="" party="" socialism="" soft="" tea="">
All of those on the left side are collectivist ideologies and all those on the right side are individualist philosophies. In fact, if one were to gauge the political spectrum as such, from communism on the farthest left to anarchism on the farthest right - one would seem to be, with the political orientation in our age as it is, conducting some perverse form of Criminology.
Truly, with the exception of the Tea Party and Soft Socialism, this would be an apt judgement in any capitalistic system worthy of its salt.

Component Collectivist Culture: It's Ideology and How It Changes Our Lives
Today, I'd like to introduce a key to understanding and apprehending the serious and dire consequences of collectivism.
That term is what I've coined Component Collectivism.
Component Collectivism is a neo-collectivist worldview rooted in a dysfunctional and pathological neo-Hegelianistic ideology which is mostly known for being directly tied to the philosophy of Marx, who himself was a young Hegelian (or 'neo'-hegelian). This is to be starkly contrasted with the self proclaimed "Old Hegelians"; these early students of George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who is generally recognized as being the most influential philosophe in the entirety of Western Philosophy's history, took his"dialectic" to mean an almost anti-thesis to the broad notion of dialectical materialism and- yea, the "hard" notional inclination to view history in terms of evolution as such. Old Hegelians viewed, according to Robert Solomon (R.I.P.), his dialectic as more an application of Christianity to the methodology of authorship. Anyone keen to Hegel knows, quite simply, that every discipline at every college/university in America and elsewhere is directly derived and indirectly imprinted from and with GWF's stamp and mark. Unequivocally.
The early neo-hegelians, amongst which were the first proto-marxists, had quite a different view of the meaning and functional hands-on utilization's of Hegel's tremendously powerful hermeneutics and Christian theological breakthroughs.
Again, Robert Solomon (author of "In The Spirit of Hegel") surmised the neo-hegelian's formulations as defined by the man himself - Karl Marx.
1) Analyze Hegel as science.
2) Remove "geist" from the equation/formula.
3) Replace "geist" with "Materialism".
By materialism as such is indicated the following: Geist, or spirit, is no longer the central organizing moral formulation. Rather, material goods (i.e. products, computers, phones, homes) determine how a society organizes their cultural focus.
And we all know the webster definition of Marxism; as out of date and irrelevant as it is in our age. Materials are essentially owned by government not individuals, hence irrevocably betraying the most basic and overlooked philosophy of our nation's founding...
That God grants us the freedom to pursue acquisition of property as well as- yea, the general pursuit of happiness. The National Review recently wrote of this "happiness" clause in the constitution to signify directly, in the context of when it was written, to farmers that they had the right to endeavor to buy more property. A bit out-dated and dusty - but in light of Dialectical Materialism, one might glean what the Founding Fathers were attempting to do. The "Happiness" clause is basically and truly a 'fail safe'.
A genius one at that!
Well, fast forward into the early 1900's. Early progressives such as Richard T. Ely and John Dewey along with a slew of proto-marxist disciples endeavored to apply their vision of Dialectical Materialism to the then burgeoning American Politik and Gov'ment.
This is nothing, I assure you beloved reader, like anything an NPR listening neo-progressive can conjur to mind from the last Terry Gross snippet on some far removed FDR rumour.
This was absolutely, in the same sense that Noam "Mr. MIT" Chomsky decried for an entire generation of young Che rebels the horror of defining a Corporation as an individual, a near takeover of our sovereign government by - basically and slightly humorously - "Ze Germans".
All of these leading figures of the early progressive movement were literally trained within the borders of pre-war Germany. All of them learning the scientific (not to mention psychological) methods of inculcating into a society, that is - OUR society, the treasonous philosophy of Dialectical Materialism.
What fruit did their highly successful endeavors yield?
How did this fruit taste and to what degree was it "poisonous"?
Bitter as hell, and with the venom of a viper -
1) Poll Taxes for poor Scotch/Irish and Blacks.
2) Literacy Tests that kept the newly emancipated Blacks from voting.
3) Segregation of the newly emancipated Blacks into ghettos and labor camps.
The fact that the progressive (or "leftist") tide sweeping the South coincided with the darkest moments of the repression of "negros" obviously and painfully belies their current commitment to all things multi-cult. Though, one - even in the age of 'Bama and the Regime - can still see the heritage of the early elitist intellectuals. One can see it in the very notion of that ardently fascist cliche - "Progressive".
In fact, the early engineers of all things Darwinian did facts 1-3 institutionally and with scientific rigor precisely because of 'progress' as such. They believed that the uneducated were, to a point, incapable of understanding freedom or living "free-as-such" lives until they had been sufficiently "Civilized". Their sociological excursions coupled with remarks about the poor and uneducated's (and I quote) "savage blood" etc. reveal an altogether colloquial attitude towards the (and I quote) "inferior races".
In fact, one leading neo-hegelian progressive even went so far as to say (paraphrase) that "the idea that newly emancipated slaves could live in freedom worked [direct quote] 'disaster' and was [direct quote] 'dogmatism'."
Far removed, I'd say, from today's "pragmatic compassion".
Frederick Douglass would probably, in kind, respond "Good Man. Bit off the top."
Fast forward, if you will, once more. To today's age and Politik.
Collectivism has been distilled, through the overthrow of science by neo-darwinists trained in the fine art of profound coffee table quantum physics chattering and tittering, not to mention bulling and cowing, into the deconstruction of the Component as such and the stratification of this verstehen into Collective consciousness. That Component, in a technological era of increasingly rapid advances in the technology of Hardware-as-such, is to be understood to be a Post-Deconstructionist account of the popular abstraction amongst sophomoric students in colleges and universities of the "single particle" or, more to a point, the ancient metaphysical cliche "mote".
Each "mote", in the concrete modern sense, can then be taken from deconstruction and comported (so to speak) in whichever direction our Ideologue Kings desire. Generally, much to the discredit of the Left's "cause", this direction is one which leads the voter down a narrow corridor to a shallow slope of moral and ethical erosion that opens up into an iced-over pond in which the voter is gently but firmly urged to walk to the center and sit down. Shouting from the safety of land, they then yell to the poor soul: "SPIN!"
Component Collectivism could be adequately understood as a "call", understood in the classical Christian sense, which is not of God nor Christian Tradition.
I.E. The removal of "Spirit" from the equation/formula of GWF and it's replacement with - let's just say - thin ice.
I'd say it were diabolical if that didn't understate the real and irrefutable treason that Marxism inherently entails.

Leftist Pathology: Why the Progressive Cabal Is Near Criminal
This indictment, which is based primarily in a piece in the NR which I reported on last year regarding one Mr. Saul Alinsky and his mob connections, is following an inquiry into the role of Religion in the public square. The founders were quite clear on the freedom to speak what one had on ones conscience; and I've found evidence of unconstitutionality if not criminality regarding progressive ideology. Like the 'mob', the left is conspiratorially committed to silence in questions of their interpretation of Biblical truth. Further, this silence often conceals a committment to Alinskian "social justice" or proto-communism.
Saul Alinsky is a man who created what conservatives have decried publicly; a little understood phrase "community organizing". Obama himself has said "I'm still organizing". What does organizing mean for Mr. Obama?
Legally representing an organization which had to close it's doors due to a scandal involving setting up whorehouses for underage illegal immigrants, or ACORN.
He acted as lawyer for ACORN during his up-and-coming years, representing an organization which was set up by Alinsky acolytes.
Alinsky's tactics could be seen in the 2012 election, in which fraud coupled with organized labor was implemented by a supposedly 'sovereign' government to "get out the vote". Alinsky, you must understand, learned his tactics of manipulation from the mob. And Barack Obama's "chicago-style" politics have followed suit with a viciousness not seen in any previous administration.
And those kool-aid drinkers on the left have no sense of humility whatsoever when it comes to disallowing other's expressions of Christian philosophy/theology - perhaps with the exception of the perfunctory 'pope talk' with fellow automatons of the anti-god.
The very phrase, Jesus is Lord, spoken publicly elicits criticism, scoffing, or ethical condemnation.
This is due to the Leftist Cabal literally enslaving the population. Enslaving them with their mind-numbing ideology. Enslaving them with the creation of their wicked imaginations. Enslaving them with their ideology.
It all began in the early 1900's when early progressive thinkers trained in 'neo-hegelian' philosophy (i.e. marxist philosophy) began to take control of America. They believd that freedom came not from God but from the Government.
Ever since, they have sought to make every gain possible, with the ends always justifying their evil means.
So, how is this criminal? How is this pathological?
Collectivism itself is an ideology of pathology.

Sequestration on the Hill
The prescient news in Washington seems to be the looming "across the board" cuts to defense and entitlements that seem to be leaving both Dems and Repubs cold. I'm of the opinion that while these cuts in spending are a major story, there seems to be something going on underneath the surface which has more to do with why leading figures appear to be so viscerally upset. If I had to make an uninformed guess as to what this, in fact, is - I'd wager it has to do with the negligence and lack of bi-partisan communication that is endemic to Washington D.C. more and more these days.
Bob Woodward on "Meet the Press" described there being a "Bunker Mentality" amongst Washington elites, and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this is altogether true. My own governer McCrory. upon a recent visit to D.C. described the situation there to be "very troubling" and "dysfunctional", which is a fairly forward thing for the new Governer to say publicly.
But something eludes me, it seems. There must be something going on in the annals of the executive office and congress that is politely being left unsaid. I can't, for the life of me, put my finger on it. Is it that each side of the partisan divide is steaming mad at each other? Is it that the Repubs have made compromises to the president and feel like they are getting little in return? Mr. Woodward accused the president of "not taking hold of the presidency", so perhaps it's that no one in Washington is taking any initiative on getting anything substantive done. No matter the case, I am of the opin' that there is something rotten in Denmark, and the American publik is being left in the dark about it.
How bad is our debt?
Does China really, for all intents and purposes, own the U.S.?
What is going to "change" in the lives of everyday Americans this year?
Why can't congress and the president work together?
What happened to the "transparency" we were all promised?
These are all questions kindly being avoided at the moment, not to mention questions that we don't even have the information to know to ask about!
The unanimous consent of the press seemed to be that sequestration is a bad thing. Is it really?
The only conclusion I can come to is that Washington must be reorganized, for the sake of the united states of America.

A Look at Muslim Barbarism
I wrote quite a while back that what muslims consider to be "Allah" I consider to be a good definition of "Satan". I still beleive, though with less of a flair for hyperbole, that this is marginally true. I've read half of the Koran, personally, and found it to be laced with line after line of "kill the unbeleiver" - almost used in repetition. Those who mistakenly beleive the Bible contains savagery need only look to the Muslism faith and the Koran for the real culprit. I'm not suggesting that all muslims are evil - quite to the contrary; most of them long for freedom. However, the Koran can irrefutably lead to some very evil outcomes, among them: 9/11.
Here, as reported in Feb. NR by Mark Steyn, is a simple bucket list of things you may not know about Muslims:
- In Wales, a woman beat her son with a stick, a rolling pin, and a hammer for failing to learn the Koran. He could only memorize a couple of pages, despite being abused... So she killed him and lit him on fire with barbeque fuel, claiming she now felt "%100 better".
- A ten year old girl was beaten by her mother, one Asia Parveen, for not reading the Koran enough. She sustained 56 injuries...
- A muslim slit his daughters throat in London for being "too westernized".
- In Sweden, a 5-month-old baby was beaten to death with the Koran.
Muslims are responsible for their culture; and their culture is one, inherently, of malicious evil.
The hoardes of muslims with anti-american views are increasingly becoming a problem for the citizens of countries they've immigrated to. The extent to which they carry their anti-americanism with them into our country cannot be understated. It is the opinion of Domestic Democracy United that if they don't like it, they can get out.
The sheer numbers of them is troublesome. And in Europe, it must be unimaginable terror for native citizens to see their towns and cities over-run with muslim immigrants.
In N.C., I hope to see a return to normalcy... however, it's far from probable.
...And in D.C. and surrounding area's I can tell you, there are so many muslims it would seem unimaginable to your average rural American. But no one can refute the numbers. According to the 2011 census, the muslim population in the U.S. has doubled since 9/11.
And for this short article I'll leave you with one simple fact:
57 percent of Paki's in Briton are married to their first cousins.

The Differance of Love and Hate
Perhaps the most pressing of concerns regarding emotional integrity within the self-as-such is that of the contrast between the existentiel meanings of love and it's opposite, hate.
What is the best way to phenomenologically reduce these two objects of spirit? To reflect? To observe? To circumspect?
The only way to understand, truly, the differance of love and hate is to apprehend the congruence of these apparent contrasting passions as part-and-parcel of each's own negative freedom. Emotion understood by way of apprehension absolutely delimits the meaning of each in an other. Love convalesces in loathing and hatred of self and object, unequivocally! Hatred-as-such is intrinsically intertwined with the mustard seed of loving as understood in a phenomeno-existential sense.
The congruence of hatred and love is freedom from being.
Emotion-as-judgement is to be seen, by virtue of the reduction of passion to it's components constituting selfhood-in-a-world, as the primordial constitution by entities of valuation. This selfhood is existentially restricted to degeneration into its negative freedom from being. A destruktion taken from being free to unencumbered coping with objects-as-such.
The very act of cognition of emotion requires a phenomenological apprehension of what a being means in a world of existence. Existence-as-such and for an existentiel proceeding as part of a totality of involved coping with the worldhood of being-towards-death. Our own utmost potential as ontical components is, by necessity, limited by absolute Spirit-as-such. The existent sentimetns phenomenologically delimit their negative freedom from being.
Differance is, for love, the existentiel realization of an ontology of passion-as-such.
Hatred is reminded of it's negative freedom in the absolute primordiality of love as differance.
The signature trace of the basic-in-itself compresses the classical into the post-deconstructionist. This trace-as-such makes known unto the conscience of passion-as-such within a world-in-itself the limits of apprehension of worldhood. The world is such that our own selfhood is comprehensively coping within a Cartesian teleological contrivance inhereted from a tradition of complimentary aquiescence to the institutions of normalcy in ethics rather than the delimiting of passion-to-itself.
To contextualize this is to say that one knows hatred often accompanies the emotional strategy of love-as-such. Love is, as well, very often part-and-parcel with the universal object of hatred-in-itself.
Each delimits the differance of an other.
To love - let's give good ardent phenomenological inquisition.
To hate - we must give the existential meaning of the differance of opposition a framework in the concretely existentio-temporal worldhood of Being-in-the-world.
To the passions!

Key terms and constructions derived from Derrida, Heidegger, Hegel, Solomon, and Nietzsche.
"Differance", "trace","limiting" and "delimiting" are references to Derrida.
"Existential" and "existentiel", "basic", and "coping" as well as "ontical" and the various stitching together of language to create a new concept are derived from Heidegger.
The "Phenomenology" and opposition of concepts are derived from Hegel.
The framework upon which to understand emotion is derived from Solomon; and it is through Solomons interpretation of Nietzsche that the stylizations and revaluations are derived.
What I'm really getting at with this article is taking away the focus on Post-Modernism and positing my own "Post-Deconstructionism".

New DDU DIALUP
About ten minutes of reading the recent philosophical entries in, so to speak, my own words. Meant to clear up the confusion around the recent philosophical works within Politalk. Sorry to my regular readers for the deviation from the usual coverage of U.S. Politik.
Hope this clears up the confusion around the language used in "...Sins of Want", "Noble Being-Unto-Death" and "Service...".
Probably won't.
Again, apologies for the jargon. Will be back on the political beat properly A.S.A.P ~
So stay locked!

"Download 'Citizen Sh*t' for the tracks featured in this episode of DDU DIALUP. Finest quality emo remixes with a little surprise at the end. Featured on absolutepunk.net. Mind the whine! Also, the 'Punk Propaganda' LP is highly recommended for those with a taste for the abrasive. Please do DDU a favor a simply quickly download some of the "Emo Headache" content... Lot's of work went into these short little compositions, and I would greatly appreciate if you would consider these a companion piece to Politalk."

In Defense of the Establishment GOP As It Stands
The current news for many conservatives and liberals alike in regards to the establishment GOP is the unsettling incongruence between many social conservatives as properly understood and what, as is unfairly charicatured, are known as "Country Club Republicans".
I am of the opin' that this split is entirely engineered by the Regime and its disciples in the media with the purpose of kicking the conservative movement while it is down, hoping to fracture the long uncomfortable alliance between more affluent conservo's and their compatriots bestowed with markedly redder necks.
It was reported by Rush Limbaugh that a close freind of the president had decreed that their administration should attempt to create discontent among these wings of the GOP - so, despite many people on the left's doubts as to Rush's credentials as a journalist, this is far from speculation.
There have even been whispers of creating a third party.
"I wouldn't speak this to anybody or John McCain may come to your house in the night and send you to prison"
- Rush 2/5/2013
All joking aside, I - as head of Tea Party organization DDU - would like to voice my support for the strategies and actions of the Grand Ole' Party of late. For example, the decision to make amends and bend at the last minute in leu of the debt ceiling was honorable and responsible to the highest degree.
The high ups in the party know these types of maneuvers will be unpopular with certain elements of their constituency - but they do the best thing for the country, now as before. They know what kind of sacrifices true service-as-such takes, and are willing to take the tough decision points seriously enough to react beyond the mere ideological lock step that so often seems the rights weakness. What we are seeing is not, as some have grossly mischaracterized, the degeneration and dissolution of the GOP; but, in fact - the opposite. We're seeing state's rights as a position taken so seriously that it stands above all else in terms of platform.
The GOP strategy is thus: We lost the POTUS election, but there are many state's that did not support this outcome; therefore, we are to fight for individual state's rights before all else.
We see the admissions of the right and the lack of ardent protest of the Regime's policies, yet fail to see the tooth and nail battle for state's rights in the context of what 'Bama seeks to do, truly, with the victory of Obamacare. They are making great strides and leaps to secure for states the most precient and salient demands, above all: the demand to stay out of this Obamacare thing as much as damned possible. If anyone can prevent the implementation of the truly fascist aspects of Obamacare's effects, I, for one, beleive the GOP can.
Yet the dissent among conservatives is, currently, seething and frothing from the mouth.
What those disillusioned conservatives need to focus on is not giving in to needless in-fighting and putting their energies where they are needed; in a sustained conservative protest movement that backs the GOP fully and can help give libertarian-leaning libs a reason to feel like they should take up arms with their neo-conservative brethren!
We're all in this together, and though there is little we can do to stem the tide of collectivism, we can (to quote Buckley) stand athwart shouting no!
And we should!
The power of individuals in state government and their constituents to rally around a vision of America that hearkens not merely to the Founders but to that America that, as Glenn Beck said, we haven't forgotten shouldn't be underestimated. That America we remember. It's not lost.
I'll leave you, faithfull reader, with what is - to me - breaking news.
From Feb. NR:
"It's possible... that President Obama will skip blithely from triumph to triumph, nudging a lowing herd of dredulous millenials into the pen of joyless collectivism, emerging periodically to give a hectoring address while jutting his chin at the Future, mistaking hortatory hollering for persuasion."
I wish you the best in your endeavors to fight for Freedom.

Secretary of State Flails In Shame Preceeding Departure
Hillary Clinton, last week, was noticeably upset responding to questions leveled at her about Benghazi and her role in the failure of her department to prevent what, according to Rand Paul, is the "worst tragedy since 9/11" (paraphrase). Many establishment repubs question, to a fair amount, the performance by Clinton in what I've termed "cry-gate"; in which Clinton seemed to put on airs whilst drumming up a few tears in regards to meeting the families of the victims of the Benghazi attacks. Whether or not the crying fit the following day was, in fact, genuine is beside the point. It is the opinion of Domestic Democracy United that cry-gate was an act by Clinton that figuratively spit on the graves of the victims of the Benghazi attacks.
"Cry-gate was not only offensively grotesque, but a losing move by Clinton who seemed like a poor method actor looking for something to work with. The tragedy of the Benghazi attacks were not, unfortunately, so much melodrama."
-Brendan O'Connell
I wouldn't be so dire in my accusation, where it not for the fact that what occurred during cry-gate was irrefutably disingenuous. A breif application of Physiognomy would reveal my position that she "fake cried" is absolutely and unequivocally correct. What would my fellow Reston VA compatriot Frank Luntz glean off of an analysis of the tear reel?
I would wager that it would be classic Clinton.
Lies.
Waffling.
Taking on the inflection one finds convenient.
This lie, is in fact, one of dire consequence.

Regret, Doubt, and Jealousy: Sins of Want
Regret is, in fact, a sin. This is in stark contrast with "Remorse-as-such". When one regrets what one has done, one is taking part in an emotional strategy that distinctly lacks the most important sentiment of Faith. This may seem counter intuitive to some, trained in the art of circumspect Moralism.
Remorse is far more in line with what the demands of Faith require.
Doubt, again, is sin. This is in marked contrast with such sentiments as scepticism. To doubt is to adhere to the natural inclination to flee from Grace; to turn from God. We doubt only when our rationality lacks the style and majesty of true scepticism. Think, if you will, of the last time you doubted your lover. It was base.
To be a true ardent follower of the Faith, one must etherealize the instinct to doubt into reasoned questioning.
Jealousy is the most obviously sin laden of these sentiments. In jealousy, it is said, one has the distinct desire to do damage; to do harm to both self and the object of ones jealousy. It is never a good strategy, and most obviously inherently a moral poise lacking in dignified discourse. You never make any kind of really grounded arguement on the basis of jealousy; almost all positions based in jealousy, or to the point "resentment", are groundless on the basis of reason and passion.
An emotion? Sin?
Most certainly if one takes into account the theological position which see's one being judged by the content of one's character rather than mere deeds. It has been said that God judges one on what is in ones heart... and emotions are one of the most important components of what is indicated by this theological formulation.
If I regret something, I feel bad about having done it. It does not necessarily follow that I fix the problem on the basis of feeling bad about having done it. If I, say, regret having wrecked my auto - It does not follow that I can keep from having collisions in the future because I do not want to. When we have real passionate remorse about a collision I would argue that it, in fact, necessarily follows that I will take corrective action to prevent a collision from happening again. Perhaps this is why judges often put so much stock in the greivences of those in court.
Doubt is obviously problematic. To doubt is simply to say, I do not agree that such-and-such is the case. To have systematic scepticism is to not agree or disagree but to observe. I can say "I am not". But if I do not understand why "I am not", I am surely not going to develop my position beyond the merely apparent. Again, resentment is a key component of the groundwork of promordial doubt-as-such. The apparent will not sustain the needs of any civilization worthy of its, shall we say, salt. What a man of civilization requires for the task of living in Grace is apprehension; and this is not acheived by virtue of the sin of Doubt.
Jealousy is the differance of true resentment. One is jealous precisely because one finds themselves to be in a position of agitation. So, if I'm jealous of affection one is bestowing upon my loved one I am agitated by the situation I am in. Yet, in jealousy, we do not take responsibility for our selfhood. It is a negative emotion precisely because of our own soured sense of self. Contrast this with contempt. Contempt takes the role of people and simply sets them into place.
Contempt solves the riddle of jealousy.
So in all of these sentiments we see something that can be damaging, problematic for functioning, and negative inherently. My point is this: We should all find ways to allow ourselves to get over these primordially passionless senses of self and the world.
It is with this that I leave you.

Being-Unto-Death : The Way of Life
Being-unto-death as the absolute delimiting of a being-in-itself as the utmost recognition of cognition in an absolute being-of-entities within a world-as-such is the recognition of self as that which remains to be seen in the objective. It is shamefull that subjectivists resolve to split our phenomenological character-unto-death into figments of a marxist "divide-and-conquer" mentalism which seeks not only to define the terms of rational and reasoned argument and dialectic: but seeks, in fact, to posit none-other-than Lucifer as its ideological underpinning. I would not argue that this-is-such were it not for the overwhelmingly collectivist ideology of our age, and it pains me - literally - to make such observations... Yet the rogue phenomenoligist simply must reference old Saint. Nick, objectively and more than-for-the-sake-of such pantheists as St. Augustine.
To divine the word of the Lord is such-that receiving Jesus is to be, in some sense, irrefutably unrestrained.
However, the restraints a man encompasses are, to a degree, his own objective selfhood-unto-the-world. Which is to say - He who shall remain unnamed until the second coming. He who remains unnamed continues today as yesterday and, yea - tomorrow.
Both yesterday and tomorrow - and today.
But my sense of impunity is only entailed by my wordliness.
The only way-in-which one can understand selfhood-as-such is in the light of that which-is-becoming-to-be in the ultimate worldhood of being-unto-death. Being-unto-death as-such. To walk in the park is to take part in said state of worldliness-of-the-world, and - yea, the worldhood-of-the-world.
And to what does such an exception deserve refuge?
The solution is in the problem...
The true-as-such cannot consist of simply an ire of irrefutability.
It must, as-such, be in a worldhood-of-being.

The Sacrifice of Service: Noble Being-Unto-Death
The sign of any truly great man is that of an indication of devoted service to his fellow. How, and to what extent, do we serve that which means the most? A man will be judged according to the existent sentiments of care and concern he bestows upon individuals without regard to his own good fortune. By that measure, the only correct action in life is that which looks without seeing advantage. That which sins without robbing.
And to that ire our lives should be found to be wholly unfullfilled.
The only form of worship in todays age is idolatry. I cannot, truly, face the consequences of such a truth. Most serve only to increase their own value. Most lack in service for precisely the same reason. Logic has no bearing on the way in which one makes existent the inclinations of ones sinfull value. If it did, we would all surely live as heroes here; and in heaven.
The sad fact is that we are going down - worldwide.
Our service towards self-rather-than-christ has ruined the foundations upon which civilizations were created to be more than a some of their parts.
Much better to beleive and be redeemed than to not beleive in redemption whatsoever and take ultimate soulless solace in being-towards-death. For that is the price we pay for not truly devoting ourselves to the service of some such thing that we would find in the world to be, in some sense, greater than worldliness. That price; eternal damnation without refuge from suffering. Why?
Because all life moves towards death of necessity!
And why should one cling to the remnants of our honored tradition whilst taking part in malicious collectivistism - the anti-god?
Hell.
Because hell is our punishment; damnation our reward.
If our soul does not turn towards that which gives us absolute and objective forgiveness, then where should we turn; as a nation deeply in debt?
There is only one solution to our woes, ills, and malfeasances.
That solution is Christ.
I'd wager many of you reading this now have never really come to the realization that service of Christ is profoundly more prescient than service of our otherworldly brute desires. That our own sin and degredation is anything we want it to be; other than that which damns our selves and - yea, our nation in this year of our lord 2013.
IT takes little for a man to come to god.
All one must do is repent of their way. One must admit that one has committed a primordial sin against god... in ones heart of hearts.
One must be magnanimously aquiescent towards the objective truth. Not the truth of the intellectual realm, but of the truth of the worldhood-of-the-world.
Tame the beast of idolatry. Take back your autonomy. Banish collectivist ideology from your soul.
These are the only words of advice of any accord in a world gone bad and rapidly getting worse by virtue of the sin of pride. Of a nation of sin. Of a nation unwilling to give to itself that which it most deserves. What does our nation deserve? What is most readily available; Complete allegience to Christ! Yea - Complete service to individualism by virtue of the Lord of Hosts!
Yet, we will not. Our hand draws still when it comes to helping a fellow for the sake-of-that which shall remain unnamed until the second coming. How?
I tell you through the devices of collectivist ideology and idolatry.
To commit to the personhood of world-as-self is, in fact, the very groundwork of service. Know thyself?
You can see that sign of hypocricy in our own heated dialectic in Washington D.C.
You can see our wicked imagination not in works of art but in works of conformity as that which one, ultimately, worships. The collective tendency towards domination is but the mere personal passive pathology of our times. We cannot undo the rash of debt - the plague of national incompetance - unless we repent, all of us, of our sins. We must repent until we gain favor with he who shall remain unnamed until the second coming. That is the meaning of service. Repentance.

Disclaimer: The above is rendered in indeterminacy. Regard as vulgar or obscene before breaking any sweat over the inanities of a hopeless leper. Were it not for Buckley Jr. - I would not be in the position to bequeath gods truth as I have. Were it not for the shackles of collectivism, I would endeavor to live such truth fully and to an adequate degree. Yet I am dead. There is nothing.
And to that ire our lives should be found to be wholly unfullfilled.
The only form of worship in todays age is idolatry. I cannot, truly, face the consequences of such a truth. Most serve only to increase their own value. Most lack in service for precisely the same reason. Logic has no bearing on the way in which one makes existent the inclinations of ones sinfull value. If it did, we would all surely live as heroes here; and in heaven.
The sad fact is that we are going down - worldwide.
Our service towards self-rather-than-christ has ruined the foundations upon which civilizations were created to be more than a some of their parts.
Much better to beleive and be redeemed than to not beleive in redemption whatsoever and take ultimate soulless solace in being-towards-death. For that is the price we pay for not truly devoting ourselves to the service of some such thing that we would find in the world to be, in some sense, greater than worldliness. That price; eternal damnation without refuge from suffering. Why?
Because all life moves towards death of necessity!
And why should one cling to the remnants of our honored tradition whilst taking part in malicious collectivistism - the anti-god?
Hell.
Because hell is our punishment; damnation our reward.
If our soul does not turn towards that which gives us absolute and objective forgiveness, then where should we turn; as a nation deeply in debt?

Politalk's 2012 Summation
On the cusp of 2012's end, I should like to make a brief series of comments on various issues that came to the forefront during this year of our Lord.
1) Mayan Madness
Perhaps it remains a spectacle of an overly paranoid counter culture, but many in the US had been hearing whispers of an apparent 'end of the world' to take place at the end of the Mayan calender. Needless to say, I type these words very much alive and well with no end of all things having taken place.
In fact, the degree to which this very strange conspiracy theory was taken seriously is truly alarming to all those who value the sanctity of society. From the passing laugh about the end of the world being nigh to the LSD infused wild eyed paranoid schizophrenic ranting about some Mayan prophecy - the 'End of the World' thing took hold in 2012 in a way not seen since Christians began spouting off about similar things some years ago. I can only hope that those who took this whole business seriously can laugh amiably as their apocalypse degenerates into laughable Y2K joke territory. Good riddance to squandered fear.
2) POTUS Election 2012
The election, which contrary to those who feel Politalk has been ignoring politics was covered extensively by myself and R.T., was monumentous to a fair degree. I think one talking head was irritatingly correct when they mentioned that Republicans were "shellshocked" by the outcome.
One thing that deserves mention is that though the election resulted as such due to manifold factors one little secret the D.E.M. doesn't want you to know which may have turned the tides in favor of the Regime is thus; The democract establishment machine pooled money collected from taxpayers via Organized Labor and put it to use "getting out the vote". Billions of dollars were facilitated for use in anything from robo-calls in swing states to literally bussing dispassionate democrat voters into to early voting stations. All of this was orchestrated by none other than Domestic Democracy United's mortal enemy - Labor Unions.
It ain't cheating, but it certainly reeks of "Chicago-Style" politics.
No surprise there...
3) Mass Shootings
I'll only discuss this breifly as I'm certain this is still a sore spot for many in our nation.
However, there are now basically three solutions to the problem presented by the rash of mass shootings that have occurred this year that have been advanced:
a. Increased Security (i.e. more guns)
b. Weapons Bans
c. New legislation prohibiting those with mental illness from procuring guns
Increased security is the most republican proposal of all of them. The NRA recently advanced a 'hard' version of this by advising that we have armed gaurds in all schools. A bit much, however not entirely a terrible idea without merit.
A weapons ban is the most mainline solution, which most likely will be unsuccessful either in passing through congress or, potentially, preventing the crime itself. However, again, not without serious basis and warrant.
What seems to be emerging as a new alternative is preventing those with mental illness from owning guns through some type of nuanced legislation. This is, without a doubt, the way forward to solving this problem - and I hope this is advanced next year seriously.
It is not, again, an idea without good reason behind it... though the pragmatic realities of prohibiting every person diagnosed with, say, depression from owning a gun presents some very serious problematics - not to mention the whole problem of increasing mental healthcare and the more serious issues involved in such proposals.
Well - that's all.
Stick with politalk in 2013. More to come, more to say, thanks for reading!
