The Political Man
Mark Richardson over at Oz Conservative had this gem in one of his replies to a commenter:
So often I hear a version of this, the quick fix, the idea that one simple change can put things to right. When the truth is that no one thing, person, political party, government, idea, ethnic group, ideology is to blame for everything. And the problems that we face are not new, they didn't arrive last Thursday, or even in our lifetime.
The solution to our problems are long and complex, not simple and easy. Which means that we need to have a commitment to a political life. To accept that our responsibilities are not something that we can simply put aside and worry about from time to time. Instead it is a permanent commitment.
What is a political life?
It is the same as our commitment to our nation and our family, a burden that we must accept and carry on with. In practice it means supporting the causes that support us and it means fighting the causes that want our destruction. It means being men and defending the things that we love.
Preserving the things that we love, our people, our families....the same thing.....and destroying the things that want to harm them. That is what men have always done, worry about politics and the big issues in life. To organise, to provide, to protect. Not to worry about the small things, the petty things, that is not what men should spend their time upon.
Make a commitment to become that political man, that man who supports the things he loves in word and deed. Donate to support the people and causes that support you, commit time to help out, join organisations.
Do not be passive be active!

The temptation is to try to find a quick fix solution. "If we do this, then things will be put right, and we don't have to worry about politics anymore, things can go back to normal". What's needed instead are men who see "polis life" - a commitment to political life - as being a normal part of masculine commitments, in any age or time.

Girls Should Dance, Boys Should Do PE
Today I read this about the Australian Football League Women:
Dancing!
Today when we think of dancing we think of it as a means to attract the opposite sex, of a male and a female dancing together. However traditionally that was not true. There were dances for males and dances for females, as well as dances for both. Girls love dancing because it's feminine, dancing is sensuous, it follows rules, it seems freeflowing but isn't, it highlights the body in both form and flexibility, which is why most boys hate it. Although it also involves things that both boys and girls do like, such as discipline and the mastering of skills. Both of which boys require in any physical activity.
Apart from schools that train performers, I cannot think of any schools that teach dance as part of the normal curriculum. Sure many schools do training for their school formal, but like I said thats not part of the normal curriculum. Why not?
Sport is masculine, it is competitive, rough, dirty and dangerous. Most boys like sport, they like being physically active and taking risks in a controlled environment. Most girls do not, they still want to be physically active but not in a masculine way. They do not want to be rough or dirty and they most certainly don't want to do something dangerous. But we insist that girls can do anything that boys can do even though boys want their own activities and girls aren't that keen to compete against boys.
It's time to let boys be boys and to let girls be girls, to encourage each sexes abilities and talents instead of constantly insisting that they compete against each other. For boys sport is a very good fit, for girls dancing is. If some girls like sport then fine, if some boys prefer dance thats good too. There are always exceptions to the general rule. But if given a choice we know what most boys and girls would pick.

Why We Should Not Support Immigration
Two days ago the competition launched and the first match was played live on television. I tuned in for purely investigative purposes and after watching about ten minutes of the ‘action,’ I can only conclude that these women are grossly overpaid.
Watching women chase a football around a field was like watching women chase a football around a field. It reminded me of being back in school and lounging on the side of the school oval as the girls did their physical education lesson. They were pretty useless at the physical education bit but we weren’t watching for their athletic prowess.When I read that I also thought back to school and how much the girls hated Physical Education. I remember so many girls seemed to have their period every week. They really hated it. Not all of course but most did it under sufferance. Now if you tell people that girls shouldn't do sport people tell you that it is unhealthy. Sport leads to physical fitness, you know what else leads to physical fitness?

The Eighty-Third Month
The past month has not been good and I don't expect the next to be any better. The blog has done alright, although it has suffered a big drop in numbers between December and now. I'm planning to write more on this soon. As a result I have not been writing as much as I have been in the past six months.
In January I had 3643 visitors, between the 11th January and the 11th February I have had 3309, so the trend is downwards. My best day was the 2nd February when I had 206 visitors, my worst day was the day before, the 1st February when I had 64 visitors.

Germany and Canada are both up.
Unknown region is basically the same.
The United States, Australia, Russia, the Ukraine, France and the United Kingdom are all down.
Spain has left the top 10 and Argentina is back in.

It's Alright To Be White - A Guest Poem
A guest poem by P. L. Melbourne
It's alright to be white
It's not wicked or obscene
It's okay to be black, brown or yellow;
To speak and be seen
It's not perverse or malicious
As some want us to believe.
We're all sons of Adam
And daughters of Eve.
So don't shrivel in shame
Because of your race;
The sound of your name,
The colour of your face.
It's fine to be European,
On Japheth's family tree;
From north of the Mediterranean
And West of the Black Sea.
It's awesome to be Anglo-Celtic.
There's reason to celebrate.
It takes millennia of toil and innovation
To make people great:
From the Britons to the Normans,
The union of the states,
The melding of the genomes,
Of rival and of mates.
The monarchs of the realm,
And commoners, each one,
Have weaved a living tapestry
Under the northern sun.
Resilience and resolve
Through famine, plague and war.
Just reward for honest work
Which providence has in store.
The genus of thought:
Objectivity and creativity,
Born of verity and passion
Where the Word set minds free.
The traditions we firmly hold
Which are ethnically unique.
The unspoken niceties
And the language we speak.
That Christian worldview
Which bound us all together.
An immovable morality
Which won't change with the weather.
There's darkness in our history,
When wicked deeds were done.
By preventing their repetition
We show its lessons are being won.
A people who are honourable,
Love truth and honesty,
Will guard their culture's treasures
Against destruction by the enemy.
And we who are descendants
From the colonies of empire
Stoke the fire of remembrance,
Not the fuel of a pyre.
For without a blood heritage
We forget who we are,
Absorbed into the nonentity
Masses of the universal jar.
Condemned to oblivion
By the hostile forces of nil,
We face our furious accusers
Who demand an outrageous bill.
It's time to say, "No more!"
We will no longer conform
Under menacing threats
Of the collectivist swarm
We will keep our Britishness,
Our Anglo-Celtic ways,
Our ancient Christian heritage
All our live-long days.
