The Gods Of The Copybook Headings

“….Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!”

--Rudyard Kipling, “The Gods of the Copybook Headings”, 1919

"Print on demand site run by the Amazon.com folks (there are others out there, I just researched this one for a project of my own). According to the pricing guide on their Web site, an 8" x 10", black and white book of 100 pages is only $3.66. A 200-page book is $5.50. The final product looks like a regular paperback book, complete with full-color cover. You'd also pay shipping and handling, but I'm sure you can see that this can be a significant time and money saver, especially if you want multiple copies of the same book. Putting multiple books in the same binding can further your savings." (Survival)

Lincoln Idolatry, Imperialism, And ‘Venomous Homophobia’

October 13, 2010

Posted by Thomas DiLorenzo on October 13, 2010 06:24 AM

That’s the agenda of the Claremont Institute, as this article from The Nation magazine explains. It appears that the Institute’s Dr. Strangelove, Harry Jaffa, high priest of the Lincoln Cult, is also a rather obsessed homophobe, and has been for decades. He bases such views on a unique version of “natural rights” that he adopted from his mentor, the atheistic numerologist Leo Strauss. This is not the “natural rights” theory of Jefferson and other founders, but a counterfeit version.

This explains why two fellow academics called me a couple of years ago to ask me the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid question about the Claremontistas: “Who are those guys?” They called after presenting a paper at an academic conference in which they argued that Lincoln was bisexual (not my field of expertise), and were taken aback at how some Straussian Claremontistas in the audience responded with over-the-top personal attacks as opposed to the normal academic debate. They discovered that I had also dared to disagree with The High Priest over his (mis)interpretations of Lincoln, and was subjected to similar childish behavior. I explained to them that Claremont is a cult, whereby Jaffa has taken the place of Strauss. As with all cults, the cult leader espouses The Official Truth, and the job of his minions is to smear, attack, and denigrate all doubters. That’s why they belong in a circus, not in academe.

Dear Brock, With less than 3 weeks to go before election day, Liberty Central is sprinting toward the finish line! Through our site, our television and radio appearances, and through social media, we are doing everything possible to give voters the tools they need to elect a more constitutionally-inclined Congress, and to stop the Big Government agenda in Washington. As part of that effort, we have reached out to our grassroots members in North Carolina and other states to identify the key Congressional races where voters will have an opportunity to elect a more principled Congress. The full list is available here, but here's a preview of those target districts in North Carolina: NC-02 NC-04 NC-07 NC-08 NC-11 To see more details go here! You may also want to consider helping your favorite candidates - even those across state lines. While casting your vote consistent with constitutional principles is critical, there are many ways to make a difference.
