Sipsey Street Irregulars: "Being a Man and Having a Traditional Family Is a Rebel Act."

"Being a Man and Having a Traditional Family Is a Rebel Act."

The leftists won a key battle: the fight to make the personal political. Thanks to the creepy fascism inherent in their nature, they examine everything under a microscope and divide it into categories like “Problematic” and “Microaggressions.” That’s especially true of how we choose to live our lives as adult men. My friends Cam Edwards and Jim Geraghty deny that their new book Heavy Lifting: Grow Up, Get a Job, Start a Family, and Other Manly Advice is a political book. I beg to differ with that one point, if not any of their others. By choosing to live our lives as something other than a freak show of social pathologies, we men are making a political statement by rebelling against the cultural elite.

I don't much give a shit what they think, and even less of what they do. You want to take over, Sally? Go piss up a rope.; December 7, 2015 at 8:58 AM

I have one there (aerospace and aeronautics) right now. Unfortunately there is no escaping the incremental and insidious liberal agenda of our 'institutions of higher education'. He is white, Christian, conservative and heterosexual. His superior efforts and scholastic achievement is downgraded, his comments are ridiculed and his personal values are denigrated. It is so blatant even his liberal classmates comment on it.

It is so over the top, one advisor did their best to get him to drop out two weeks before the end of the school year (last year) by going to the mental health clinic and getting a medical release from school because "his ideas, thoughts and values are indicative of a mental condition that needs to be addressed".

I most likely don't need to identify the gender, ethnicity, sexuality nor political persuasion of this advisor.

I, and my family and friends, are past the point of feeling like we've been backed into a corner. It won't take much more pushing before we start pushing back -hard

"Traditional Family," "Real Men." "Real Women." There is nothing to be ashamed of for being these people!!!! They are our Parents, Grand Parents, Uncles, Aunts, Significant other people in our Community!! They are "US!!"
As for the rhetoric from those who denigrate us, as loud as they may howl, they are just uttering hot air to be blown away like chaff by the Wind of Truth!!
Got Family......OUTLAW!!!!!,

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
