JOIN THE BATTLE
AGAINST MODERNISM
AND ISLAMO-FASCISM
"It has happened
from time to time
in the history of civilizations
that a period of
decadence and discouragement
has been followed by
a period of renewal and hope.
It can be so with
our American civilization.
Such a restoration requires
the joining of right reason
with imagination."
Russell Kirk
Reclaiming a Patrimony 1982

V. O Mary, conceived without sin,
R. Pray for us who have recourse to thee.

"Tradition may be defined
as the extension of the franchise.
Tradition means giving votes
to the most obscure of all classes:
our ancestors.
It is the democracy of the dead.
Tradition refuses to submit
to that arrogant oligarchy
who merely happen to be walking about.
All democrats object to men being
disqualified by the accident of birth;
tradition objects to their being
disqualified by the accident of death.
Democracy tells us not to neglect
a good man's opinion,
even if he is our groom;
tradition asks us not to neglect
a good man's opinion,
even if he is our father."

"The best way to rear up
a new generation of
friends of the Permanent Things
is to beget children,
and read to them o' evenings,
and teach them
what is worthy of praise:
the wise parent is
the conservator of ancient truths.
As Edmund Burke put it,
'We learn to love
the little platoon
we belong to in society.'
The institution most essential
to conserve is the family."

"Well, toward morning
the conversation turned
on the Eucharist, which I,
being the Catholic,
was obviously supposed to defend.
Mrs. Broadwater said
when she was a child
and received the host,
she thought of it
as the Holy Ghost,
He being the most
portable person of the Trinity;
now she thought of it
as a symbol
and implied that
it was a pretty good one.
I then said, in a very shaky voice,
'Well, if it's a symbol, to hell with it.'"

The Importance
Of Being Irish
"Take an average Irishman...
and you will find that
the very first principle
in his mind is,
'I am not an Englishman,
because I am a Catholic!'
Take an Irishman
wherever he is found,
all over the earth,
and any casual observer will
at once come to the conclusion,
'Oh; he is an Irishman,
he is a Catholic!'
The two go together."

"The Roman Catholic Church
has the unique power
of keeping remote control
over human souls
which have once been part of her.
G.K. Chesterton has compared this
to the fisherman's line,
which allows the fish
the illusion of free play
in the water and yet
has him by the hook;
in his own time
the fisherman by a
'twitch upon the thread'
draws the fish to land."

A Good Cigar Is ASmoke
He is a Calvinist,
a pacifist,
a socialist,
a tea-totaller.
In short, he possesses
all the virtues I abhore,
and none of the vices I admire.
And I make it a rule
never to take too seriously
any man who lacks
at least one redeeming vice."

"This is comfort food, indeed:
a pepperoni pizza from Santarpio's,
washed down with Polar birch beer,
and followed up with
a large double-dutch chocolate
frappe from Richardson's.
Truly a moveable feast, as well."
