LifeSiteNews, a well-known anti-abortion website, has posted a video of Dan Savage, homosexual founder of the “It Gets Better” campaign, saying that abortion should be mandatory for thirty years. You know, until the current overpopulation crisis passes.

Let’s state this clearly. Mr. Savage would like to have the in utero babies of women who want to have babies killed.

There is oh so much to address here, but let us gloss over the murder and bad science. Let’s talk about this: who does Mr. Savage imagine would be making abortion mandatory? People who worship the State like to talk in nebulous terms, to make their ideas sound like they come from a wellspring of mainstream support. But…even if they did, who is doing the mandating? Who is enforcing this?

We’re talking about laws and policemen here.

So we’re talking about the State.

Very well. We accept this. We accept that the man who made his name with an “anti-bullying” campaign condemning a majority for telling a minority how to live their lives, is going to ask an as-yet-non-existent oligarchy to tell a majority how to live their lives.

What I get from this is that it’s not “bullying” that is wrong. Or rather, bullying is only bullying when the bully disagrees with Mr. Savage. If the bully’s goals are those of Mr. Savage, why then, that man is a good soldier and a savior.

At what point are we allowed to call this a crusade, or a war? When men with guns are involved? From London to Beijing to Ottawa, that is already happening.

Lord have mercy.

So some atheists and Newsweek have gotten together to make some noise.

They say that Americans might be poorer because churches don’t pay taxes. This makes sense, you see, because Americans get their money from the state. And the state is running out.

“We’re not doing this to hurt anyone. We’re not doing this to attack churches or attack religion. We simply want things to be fair.”

A great post over at Gardens Don’t Launch, a sort of church-planting blog, on living in a small place. For the Christians who don’t live in New York or London.

My grandmother has the coolest name of anyone in America, guaranteed. Olena Sigurros Homfrieder Paulson Stager.

She’s probably also from the least cool place in America: Mountain, North Dakota. The population has never topped 220, and the size has never reached 0.15 square miles.

That is a provincial locale if there ever was one.

“Provincial”, of course, is usually a pejorative term. Backwater. Flyover country. Irrelevant.

I am reading a set of essays by someone who has been called provincial. He is also from North Dakota. As a novelist, Larry Woiwode lived for a time in New York City, but wrote about the North Dakota he felt connected to. Eventually he decided he needed to move back to North Dakota to learn whether the North Dakota he remembered, and the North Dakota that emerged in his fiction, was rooted in a semblance of facticity.

It was, and it wasn’t, as he says.

After living in New York, and in England, the most cosmopolitan Anglophone places on earth, ultimately his family re-settled in that provincial place.

There’s a fantastic Chesterton quote at the end.

Good article by Mark Judge over at The Daily Caller on the deep deep deep seemingly incurable unholy rage young people have against men and fathers in our society, as exemplified by the women of Jezebel.com. This rage exists because fathers are gone.

Deep down, America is a very angry country because of missing, absent, and lousy fathers. The social science is clear and unambiguous about the devastation the loss of fathers causes in terms of drug abuse, promiscuity and loss of self-esteem among young people. The psychological and emotional wounds go very deep.

When reading The Book of Jezebel you are confronted not just with humor and a high level of intelligence, but deep, deep rage. Not anger — rage. It goes much deeper than politics, although in modern America politics is where this rage find its expression. Thus the malevolence towards “dead white males” and the liberal obsession with feelings and personal grievance. The bogus “war on women” is really nothing but liberal women acting out against bad fathers. The frightening thing about this rage is that it is insatiable even as it demands resolution through politics. Before the 1960s and the disintegration of the family, a political revolutionary would map out his plan for correcting the flaws he saw in the political system. Today’s radicals speak in tones that are more personal. Their opponents are not just wrong, or obstacles to get past to attain better living conditions — they are evil, they are guilty, and they are personally culpable for screwing our lives up. Politics can’t cure this wound.

Judge goes on to list several examples of not-anger-RAGE from Jezebel.com’s new book. It’s worth taking a look at the whole article. His conclusion? That this rage is so deep and primal that politics offer no hope of healing or resolution. He suggests no solution.

Enter Jesus Christ and his Church, my brothers.

Consider the rage of your enemies, dear reader, and even as you fight them, have mercy.<> гугла
