RINO Hunting, The New Tea Party Sport

Mandeville, LA – Mike Church’s daily Pile of Prep, chock full the latest in RINO hunting that trendy sport making many of the Tea Partiers excited with solutionism, compare that  with Mike’s historical viewpoint to help make sense of it all plus other [r]epublican stories used to perform the Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM Patriot channel 125. “For, if we are all individual selves with our own, self-chosen goals, and if there is no higher end toward which we are by nature intended to aim, then there is nothing so special about us, or about the social structures (families, churches, local associations, traditional ways of life) in which we live and find meaning.  Man becomes merely another thing to be judged, used, and discarded according to his utility in the projects of the moment being pursued by those with the power to dispose of him.” – Bruce Frohnen, Imaginative Conservative, “What Is This Thing Called Virtue?”

What is this Thing Called Virtue? Bruce Frohnen points out that the word itself, “virtue” is making a comeback (e.g. you read it in this space nearly daily)

The Enlightenment was all about “freeing” the individual from the institutions, beliefs, and practices the philosophers of the eighteenth century in particular thought held them back from expressing themselves and achieving their own, self-directed lives.  Of course, as Edmund Burke well knew, the actual result was to expose our naked, shivering nature in all its weakness, leaving us at the mercy of either the mob or the mob-run state.  Unfortunately, we still live in this fantasy world of the autonomous individual who chooses his own “lifestyle” and ideals, constructing life as if it were a house, with the materials and structure open to infinite discussion (provided, of course, he has the financial and other means to fully engage in the process). – Bruce Frohnen
