Unleavened Bread
"Alas, it will be found... that in [America] more than in any country, our Public Life and our Private, our State and our Religion, and all that we do and speak (and the most even of what we think), is a tissue of half-truths and whole-lies; of hypocrisies, conventionalisms, worn-out traditionary rags and cobwebs; such a life-garment of beggarly incredible and uncredited falsities as no honest souls of Adam's Posterity were ever enveloped in before. And we walk about in it with a stately gesture, as if it were some priestly stole or imperial mantle; not the foulest beggar's gabardine that ever was. 'No Englishman dare believe that truth,' says one: he stands, for these two hundred years, enveloped in lies of every kind; from the nadir to zenith an ocean of traditionary cant surrounds him as his life-element. He really thinks the truth dangerous. Poor wretch, you see him everywhere endeavoring to temper the truth by taking the falsity along with it, and welding them together; this he calls 'safe course,' 'moderate course,' and other fine names; there, balanced between God and the Devil, he thinks he can serve two masters, and that things will go well with him.'"

CLIPS FROM THE FOXHOLE: On Russia
The foundation of government is the relationship between a ruler and the ruled, in it simplest form: Husband over Wife. If this relationship is not in working order then life itself can't exist, let alone nations. Putin claims this is God's arrangment, and before 2014, Russia, Ukraine, and Moldova were each going to pass laws against homosexual propaganda but riots (supported by Obama in 2014) installed leadership that did not push or ratify the amendments to Ukrainian criminal law. Nations can't rise above their highest ideal. Religion contains man's highest ideals. Putin's religion demands he upholds the traditional family which is the very foundation of nationhood and life itself. Is the war in Ukraine Putin's stand against the frenzied encircling of his land by the foamy-mouthed Sodomite World Empire?
