Tuesday Pile of Prep

Mandeville, LA – Mike Church’s daily Pile of Prep, chock full of the why we’ll need StoneWall Jackson types to lead us toward where we want our culture & community to be 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. “It seems everybody is looking for better answers to today’s problems; we want a revelation. But the problem is; we are reluctant to accept the superior answers and revelations which have already been ratified by the entire human experience. Although there are no shortcuts to wisdom, in this Information Age, the House of Wisdom is open to everyone with internet access. Hubris or humility? Avarice or generosity? Envy or gratitude? Fortitude or sloth? The ‘permanent things’ are those that lift us toward saintliness rather than degrade us in savagery.” – Darrin Moore, Imaginative Conservative review of Russell Kirk

JOY! The Senate is “…making progress”! or New Budget Deal, same as Old Budget Deal, they win we lose the future is filled with oceans of red-ink but don’t worry, Wal-Mart still accepts EBT cards

TIC: The solutions you seek, Grasshopper, cannot be found in Palin or Cruz speeches but you will find them in Aquinas, Burke and other permanent things

Would the GOP be better off if the Tea Party just kind of “went away”? or would there BE NO GOP?

Obama don’t take my mobilephone away was playing over the in-store music system when Wal-Mart “shoppers” turned into looting common thieves, destroying the notion of the nobel, values-driven poor, packing all those EBT card granted groceries in their Escalades

The Louisiana Heist is what the Wal-Mart loot fest is being called…

That so many people apparently did not recognize that they were stealing is problematic. In the January 23, 2012, issue of National Review, Daniel Foster wrote an essay on the necessity of “restoring a measure of shame to the welfare state.” – Charles Cooke, NRO

Here come more incriminations against the latest Republican rear guard action which, I will repeat, may be devoid of a principled root (e.g. [r]epublicanism), but still amounts to a proper execution of the HOR’s oath and duty.

FLASHBACK: Capturing the essence of the game afoot, Yuval Levin puts mitts on the reason today’s GOP finds itself without a majority or an enduring cause to rally behind

Douthat: Populists continue fighting an internecine war with Elitists inside the GOP, crippling the party and hitching it’s intellectual future it to the likes of Sara Palin

If something cannot go on forever than it will not go on forever, think about that as the “shutdown” attempts to deal with the “rackets” composing the $222 TRILLION headed hydra just down the road by showering their brain trust with “golden parachutes”

Ridiculous: Can CONSUMERS “save” the American economy? WHAT does CBS News propose they save it with, Monopoly money? IOU’s from their savings accounts? Printed money “credit lines” from Federal Reserve affiliated banks!? Consumerism is what has DRIVEN the locomotive to the edge of the cliff it is about to plunge over
