The ‘Left's' Worst Nightmare: A Return to the 'Crusader Mindset'-...The first and foremost enemy of anyone or thing ‐ in this case, the Left ‐ is men
2023-09-30
[PJMedia] Remember when the Atlantic complained about “Christian nationalists,” whose “social-media pages are saturated with images of rosaries draped over firearms, warriors in prayer, Deus Vult (‘God wills it’) crusader memes, and exhortations for men to rise up and become Church Militants”?

This was a frustrated admission of something the so-called “Left” secretly fears: that Western peoples might one day reclaim their Christian heritage — their true Christian heritage, not the “Doormat Christianity” variety that was manufactured, nurtured and led by subversive leftist elements, wolves in sheep’s clothing, seeking to undermine the West’s Judeo-Christian ethos.

The Left fears such Crusader imagery precisely because they invoke something innately appealing. For example, most of the eight men profiled in my recent book, Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam, sacrificed their lives — though they were emperors, kings and lords who had much to live for — fighting in defense of the Faith.

These included Godfrey of Bouillon, a wealthy duke who forsook his many possessions in Europe to take the cross and fight for the cause of Christendom during the First Crusade; El Cid, who almost single-handedly stopped and even turned the tide against the jihadist infiltration of Spain; Richard Lionheart, a king who nearly lost everything — and complained to God in Job-like fashion — in his attempt to liberate the Holy Land; Ferdinand III, the Castilian monarch who spearheaded the Reconquista and liberated Spain from Islamic tyranny; Louis IX, the French king and tragic hero who, never once complaining, sacrificed all that was dear to him in the cause of Christ; John Hunyadi, Hungary’s champion who fought both the jihadists and their elitist Western collaborators; Skanderbeg, the Albanian Braveheart who abandoned a life of wealth and honors to fight and die alongside his countrymen in the name of freedom; and even Vlad the Impaler — Hollywood’s bloodsucking “Count Dracula” — who defended his kingdom against Islamic invasions, including by fighting fire with fire (that is, impalement with impalement).

#6  How'd we get from a celebration of Christian values to yet another feminist "men suck" rant?

Can we take ten minutes to fucking celebrate without the negative waves?

"There are now apps that offer virtual girlfriends for men who want an AI lover to talk to them, allow them to live out their sexual fantasies, and learn, through data, exactly what they like"

Which are all things that women used to do.

The fault, of course, cannot be with the young women...they sare, like Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way.

But if you are a young woman looking for a young man, you might ask yourself the first question of Marketing: "What does he (the customer/prospective boyfriend or husband) want?
