Comments on: Income Inequality Exposed: the Cathedral Lives http://www.socialmatter.net/2015/01/19/income-inequality-exposed/ Not Your Grandfather's Conservatism Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:20:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.7 By: totenhenchen http://www.socialmatter.net/2015/01/19/income-inequality-exposed/#comment-10196 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 13:31:59 +0000 http://www.socialmatter.net/?p=1217#comment-10196 This is precisely why I prefer facts to “truth.” The problem with leftists is that they readily reject facts that aren’t immediately useful in supporting their “truth” (although they do keep those facts handy for the old motte and bailey game).

Insufficient aggregate demand creates a real problem for currency circulation and wealth concentration. I understand a lot of folks have the tendency to reject all leftist ideas outright when they make their exodus from the cathedral but they are right about some things (even if for the wrong reasons).

In this video, Fr Seraphim speaks about how Western faith has lost its heroes. Orthodoxy still has them, and draws stength from them.

It needn’t stop there. Virtue and wisdom are far stronger than whatever artifice of a victory these Cathedral apologists may have built. It’s paper-thin. We can build something better. Something lasting.

When did jungle guerillas become internationally-approved moral guides?

When they won. Today they call themselves: “Manipulators of Procedural Outcomes”.
