"Weird" is the new "Deplorable:"

I should be used to the insults by now.

Now why didn't that occur to me?

Thanks for the link, old friend.

>>I should be used to the insults by now.<<

The bastards seem incapable of showing respect to us or anybody or anything handed down that has proven itself. So Krazy Kamala was OK with the riots, murders and destruction of memorials to great men of the misnamed "Summer of Love." You and I remember the real "Summer of Love" of 1967.

But while they cannot, being the destructive leftist-nihilists that they are, show respect, they can be made to feel fear.

Practically speaking, it is enough that they be made to fear us.

It would be interesting to go deep into the question of how fear and respect differ. Timor domini initium sapientiae. (How pithy and precise is Latin! And notice how the first genitive is objective while the second is subjective.) The FEAR of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
But I have no idea what Hebrew word 'timor' translates, let alone what that word meant back then.

So much to know, and so little time. I feel as if I am just getting started.

Zwar weiss ich viel, aber ich will ALLES wissen!" (Goethe, FAUST)

Nicolo Machiavelli on fear vs. love, from "The Prince:"

"Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with. Because this is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed they are yours entirely; they will offer you their blood, property, life, and children, as is said above, when the need is far distant; but when it approaches they turn against you. And that prince who, relying entirely on their promises, has neglected other precautions, is ruined; because friendships that are obtained by payments, and not by greatness or nobility of mind, may indeed be earned, but they are not secured, and in time of need cannot be relied upon; and men have less scruple in offending one who is beloved than one who is feared, for love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails."

Myself, I prefer "Traditional Latin Mass Catholic."
