We are not sorry.

Well, another year, another women's march, and another time for the useful idiots of the resistance (to reform: they are fully converged) to rage at the fact one of their own is not running the American Empire. The President trolled them, masterfully, but these shrieking harpies are blaming everything on the patriarchy, and demand that all white men dismantle their society then… go away.

Because the patriarchy is violent. But it is not. It is a rational way of organising society in a violent world. And this world has always been violent. We have always had to be skilled with arms. It is only in the most effete times that every man does not know how to drill and shoot. 

Those times may end.

But I will not be sorry for being what God created me to be, or for doing my duty to my wife and family. I will not be ashamed for my people. They are loved by God, for he made us all, and all our nations

Lectionary

Genesis (14:1-7) 8-24

1In the days of King Amraphel of Shinar, King Arioch of Ellasar, King Chedorlaomer of Elam, and King Tidal of Goiim, 2these kings made war with King Bera of Sodom, King Birsha of Gomorrah, King Shinab of Admah, King Shemeber of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar). 3All these joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Dead Sea). 4Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 5In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and subdued the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, 6and the Horites in the hill country of Seir as far as El-paran on the edge of the wilderness; 7then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and subdued all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar. 8Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out, and they joined battle in the Valley of Siddim 9with King Chedorlaomer of Elam, King Tidal of Goiim, King Amraphel of Shinar, and King Arioch of Ellasar, four kings against five. 10Now the Valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits; and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled to the hill country. 11So the enemy took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way; 12they also took Lot, the son of Abram's brother, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.13Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and of Aner; these were allies of Abram. 14When Abram heard that his nephew had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred eighteen of them, and went in pursuit as far as Dan. 15He divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and routed them and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus. 16Then he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his nephew Lot with his goods, and the women and the people.17After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). 18And King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was priest of God Most High. 19He blessed him and said,"Blessed be Abram by God Most High,maker of heaven and earth;20and blessed be God Most High,who has delivered your enemies into your hand!"And Abram gave him one tenth of everything. 21Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself." 22But Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have sworn to the LORD, God Most High, maker of heaven and earth, 23that I would not take a thread or a sandal-thong or anything that is yours, so that you might not say, 'I have made Abram rich.' 24I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me ? Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their share."

Melchizedek in the House of War.

All nations have a duty to protect their citizens. This will require a military (of some sort) and it will have the virtues of a military: from OPSEC to shooting straight. A military exists to kill people and break things, for the alternative is that our people get killed and our infrastructure broken.

Even New Zealand, which has a 1200 km moat in every direction, is not immune from our enemies in an air and space age. All are vulnerable, and all need plans to mobilize. 

For we are not angels. Those who claim we are weaken the states, for the assume peace when others do plan war. 

What we will not do is listen to the useful idiots who assume that they can continue with a narrative of anomie,  atomisation, dependency, despair and disarmament.  This does not lead to a secure people, or happiness, or peace with the boundaries of any nation.

Instead we will not be sorry for our people and our customs. There is no moral issue with culture. There is with the faults we tolerate, because of the same useful idiots.

For it is the same narrative. it comes from the same pit. 

We should turn to Christ instead, who is an eternal priest praying on our behalf and forgiving our evil, in the order of Melchizedek. 

One thought on “We are not sorry.

  1. In response to the useful idiots and the marching of the harpies bit I must share that I came across Jordan Peterson recently. I love his style – very precise and does not take prisoners. Its encouraging that there seems to be a resurgence of common sense developing with articulate and intelligent people appearing to cause anxiety among progressives.

    Agree. And the SJW are now accusing him of fomenting threats. But SJW always lie, and we must call them out.
