For my fellow Okies And beyond.
1. Civility is a moral essential. Modernity treats it as outdated and at best a sometimes useful tool. But civility is the art of dignified social interaction. Without it no social interaction works. Society needs to return to civility, starting with traffic and navigating the grocery store.
2. The best form of government is by virtuous men in positions of influence. Modernity reduces them down to oligarchs, but classically they are aristocrats. They’re hard to find by they do exist. Support them. One example is Senator Rand Paul.
3. Social morality is more important than libertarian freedom. Socially liberal, politically conservative libertarians are off mark. The government must regulate abortion and the meaning of marriage based on natural laws to preserve social stability. No matter how much land, guns, or freedom from restraint you have, it means nothing if outside your property line babies are being murdered as a way of life, or blue hair zombies are destroying the meaning of marriage and family. Fight for traditional morality.
4. Spiritual health is more important than mental and physical health. Modernity denies this. It in practice teaches social Darwinian fitness as the measure of a man rather than his internal integrity. It is time to go back to the primacy of man’s spiritual health.
5. The Christian West is not gone forever. It remains in a Remnant, and will one day be restored because, as a matter of faith, we are required to make that happen. Christianity is primarily for salvation, but secondarily for a Christian civilization in all things, which is an indirect means to the primary end. Therefore keep Christian, Western traditions alive. In other words, be a Traditionalist.
Happy New Year.
