The examples may be a bit dated, but the message is as current as ever. I particularly enjoyed this well-turned phrase: "The radical right yearns to return to a mythic state of nature in which the word of God and the value of gold establish natural relations between meaning and money." They still do.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-88639513097642782312011-09-07T20:34:44.588-04:002011-09-07T20:34:44.588-04:00If there's one thing Narb enjoys, it's a g...If there's one thing Narb enjoys, it's a good Apocalypse, followed by a second helping of Armageddon. <br /><br />Oh, and jello. <a href="http://crazyeddiethemotie.blogspot.com/2011/08/this-ones-for-narb.html" rel="nofollow"><b>There must be jello!</b></a><br /><br />Narb believes Mr. Myatt has nicely pegged the religious angle of the Dominionists. Combine that with an irrational desire to make the rich richer, and you have quite a package. <br /><br />My great fear is that we as a society will buy in to this cocktail of rightist madness.Narb Xorbianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18375498917532634337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-23395580326005035372011-09-07T00:01:40.451-04:002011-09-07T00:01:40.451-04:00Religion covers the void for candidates who have n...Religion covers the void for candidates who have no understanding of the multiple problems that are showing up for our declining empire and therefore have no ideas abouthow to control the decline. Instead of prospective pilots who might be able to manage a safe landing for Empire Flight 1776, we have a bunch of applicants who think no landing is needed. Wasn't that the approach of some people who flew into a couple of big buildings in New York? Yeah, different religion, but same apocalypse.Art Myatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256140568628687572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-14931112642131729212011-09-06T20:55:20.400-04:002011-09-06T20:55:20.400-04:00Narb highly recommends this brief and insightful e...Narb highly recommends this brief and insightful essay by Andrew Apter, a distinguished academic and Guggenheim fellow:<br /><br /> The Tea Party's prison<br /> http://today.ucla.edu/portal/ut/the-tea-party-s-prison-214942.aspx<br /><br />In twelve lucid paragraphs, Apter discusses the Tea Party in the context of Marx, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau and Plato, reaching logical and alarming conclusions. And no, these aren't characters on Lost (except for maybe Plato).Narb Xorbianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18375498917532634337noreply@blogger.com
