RAMANAM
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

Countrymen,

ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT

This woman deserves attending. An accomplished essayist in popular and academic media, she has common sense as well as classical learning. A rare coincidence these days. This post will collect writings of hers that I come across. So far, she and Angelo M. Codevilla are the only learned essayists for whom I do this. Were he alive, I would do it for the work of G. K. Chesterton. Probably not coincidentally, both Camille and Angelo are of Italian descent.

The Modern Campus Cannot Comprehend Evil

The gender ideology dominating academe denies that sex differences are rooted in biology and sees them instead as malleable fictions that can be revised at will. The assumption is that complaints and protests, enforced by sympathetic campus bureaucrats and government regulators, can and will fundamentally alter all men.

Liberals think of themselves as very open-minded, but that’s simply not true!

Too Late For Obama To Turn It Around?

(Today is an auspicious day, three nines lined up in triune unity.
(Nine is the number of unity because all of its multiples return to itself.
It will be another century before this day returns.)

Why has the Democratic Party become so arrogantly detached from ordinary Americans? Though they claim to speak for the poor and dispossessed, Democrats have increasingly become the party of an upper-middle-class professional elite [really, effete], top-heavy with journalists, academics and lawyers (one reason for the hypocritical absence of tort reform in the healthcare bills). Weirdly, given their worship of highly individualistic, secularized self-actualization, such professionals are as a whole amazingly credulous these days about big-government solutions to every social problem. They see no danger in expanding government authority and intrusive, wasteful bureaucracy. This is, I submit, a stunning turn away from the anti-authority and anti-establishment principles of authentic 1960s leftism.

But affluent middle-class Democrats now seem to be complacently servile toward authority and automatically believe everything party leaders tell them. Why? Is it because the new professional class is a glossy product of generically institutionalized learning? Independent thought and logical analysis of argument are no longer taught. Elite [really, effete] education in the U.S. has become a frenetic assembly line of competitive college application to schools where ideological brainwashing is so pandemic that it’s invisible. The top schools, from the Ivy League on down, promote “critical thinking,” which sounds good but is in fact just a style of rote regurgitation of hackneyed approved terms (“racism, sexism, homophobia”) when confronted with any social issue. The Democratic brain has been marinating so long in those clichés that it’s positively pickled.

With evocation of Mario Savio!

Related: “Whom to blame?” Boehner and Ryan, The House, for not initiating impeachment proceedings. That’s the step voters were looking for in 2010 and 2014. They suspected the Senate would not convict but they tried in ’14 to make it so it could.

That’s the other stone in voters’ shoe, besides immigration/global governance.

Cowardice and greed infecting the protected class. The burden of those maladies is what voters are looking to get out from under. They will find a way. Human nature will not be unfree.

The protected class has no intention of renouncing cowardice and greed, are doubling down on burdens created by their deployment, throwing more stones in voters’ shoes. Calling voters’ cries of pain weakness.
