Little victories
Friday - 11Nov2016 Filed in: Morality & Modern Life
I’m hoping for the little victories.
I hang out and comment at The Wild Hunt. It used to be a pagan news site, now it’s more of an opinion site with occasional news.
Anyway, this article covered pagan reaction to the American election. Scroll down in the comments to the one from Jim. Sometimes TWH deletes comments that are abusive. Although TWH hasn’t politically objectionable comments yet, this has been a strange year.
I don’t have permission to quote Jim’s comment and I am not going to ask for it. The act of asking would make it a much bigger thing than it is. Jim probably doesn’t know I have a political blog and he might be appalled at some things I support.
But by all the gods it’s great to see a modern liberal take on political correctness.
I’ve seen the same trends Jim has seen only I think it goes back to 2000 and the election of George W. Bush. I’ve written about the True Believers on the left before and the trend I saw then.
So Jim has had his say and maybe some folks will take a harder look at themselves. Maybe TWH moderators will keep the comment.
Little victories can lead to big thoughts.

❝❝Speaking only for myself, I want the U.S. armed forces to be the toughest, most capable sons of a gun on the face of the planet. Especially the elite units. I want them to make other national leaders nervous, even if they are half way across the globe. I want whispers in the darkest shadows of just what happens when someone dares threaten freedom if an American serviceman can do something about it.Read More...
Any female who can fill the physical and mental requirements without any allowances for their sex has my respect. All the more so if they show the warrior virtues. But by all the warrior gods they'd better damn well hold their own and more.❞❞
