I remember when in the early days of rock'n'roll, when everything sounded totally different, all amazing and blah blah blah blah blah. now you can play me one second of any record from that time, and i'll say "1959" or "1961." i can hear precisely. it's like it has a huge date stamp on it.

American patriotism is now jingoism. american greatness is made fun of. the concept of "make america great again" or american exceptionalism is lampooned. it is impugned. it is attacked. the effort to globalize our society and make us feel, as many of us as possible, that there's nothing special about being an american, that we ought to think of ourselves as citizens of the world, and in that context america is a problem because we have too much, we've done too much, we owe too much, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

To be good christians you have to contemplate the suffering humanity of jesus. "how can we bear witness? contemplate jesus. how can we forgive? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we not hate our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we avoid gossiping about our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. there is no other way". these virtues are the those of the father, who forgives us always, and our lady, our mother, shares in these virtues too.

Christian Thinking Principles
Many christians backslide...they are unable to stand against the temptations of the world, or of their old nature. they strive to do their best to fight against sin, and to serve god, but they have no strength. they have never really grasped the secret: the lord jesus will every day from heaven continue his work in me. but on one condition-the soul must give him time each day to impart his love and his grace. time alone with the lord jesus each day is the indispensable condition of growth and power.
Christian Jesus Prayer
What shall we christians do now with this depraved and damned people of the jews? ... i will give my faithful advice: first, that one should set fire to their synagogues. . . . then that one should also break down and destroy their houses. . . . that one should drive them out the country.
Christian Country Fire
Christian's family lived under the shadow cast by his parents. they had purposely become striogi, trading thier magic and mortality to become immortal and subsist on killing others. his parents were dead now, but that didn't stop people from not trusting him. they seemed to think he'd go strigoi at any moment and take everyone else with him. his abrasiveness and dark sence of humor didn't really help things, either.
