Remembering and celebrating the great guitar legend and my guitar hero Tony Rice. How about a little Nine Pound Hammer with the crew.

Why pick one that is derivative of the more well-known "Tiger Mom"? At least it's not "Panda Dad."

The patriarch is not simply a father or parent.

The patriarch must be/become a:

-Mentor
-Warrior
-Futurist
-Example
-Investor
-Educator
-Historian
-Visionary
-Persuader
-Strategist
-Storyteller

-Commander
-Disciplinarian
-Communicator
-Standard-setter

P and O Envy

So now there’s orgasm inequality because culturally we are more focussed on ‘penile intercourse’ and not ‘clitoral intercourse’. It’s all the social scripts on masculinity’s fault! Men bad, women oppressed. Who else is sick of this merry-go-round?! Gosh I hate modern feminism. pic.twitter.com/PIvY0XA0u4

A Liberal with Some Sense

According to biographer W. Isaacson, Benjamin Franklin proposed including provisions in state constitutions that would limit the aggregation of too much land or money in the hands of one person. He considered it an affront to domestic harmony.

The type of predictable insanity that results when SJW convergence of institutions occurs. The result is always the same: infighting, chaos, and destruction. Which is the goal of cultural Marxism--to undermine a society's foundational beliefs.https://t.co/YbvJnURl0z

NPR Piece on Fr. Reginald Foster

NPR on the death of Fr. Reginald Foster, including some clips of an interview with Sylvia Poggioli from 1998... "If you’re interested in Latin it’s like being interested in Mozart, or Bach... I said ‘this is not “conservative” – this is ETERNAL.’” https://t.co/JjPlOYDOxJ

Liberal Communitarian?

How can this be possible? It can be possible when one is trying to reason away exceptions for one's own people. Even George acknowledges that Sacks promoted the lie that is "Judeo-Christianity." Does Sacks concede that a love of one's own ethnos is not only valid but normative for Western European peoples?

“Rabbi Sacks wants us to see that we can avoid the errors of individualism and collectivism—and the trap of identity politics, which combines and feeds on the errors of both—if we correctly understand the nature of the human person” @McCormickProf @JRBooks https://t.co/XTUuZ0C1s3

Unhelpful

What sort of common ground does the bishop think exists between Reds and the cultural revolutionaries?

In point of fact, both the left and the right are confrontational—just about different matters—and this abstraction obscures the matter at hand and derails constructive argument.

Judeo-Christian Conservative Cluelessness

No mention of feminism or cultural misandry, or of the sort of formation boys need besides "conversations centering on matters of substance." Professional conservatives are clueless. Laughably bad essay. Talk about serious things is necessary but I bet Christian talk about serious things won't be the same as Jewish talk about serious things. ,br />
