Driscoll plays his favorite game with quote from a fellow practitioner: Taunt The Anguished. Driscoll’s posts mostly play that game. It is sadism. Hayward and Mirengoff at Power Line also play it, pretty much exclusively.

Patience and fortitude. Patience and fortitude.

In context, which is not how Hayward means it, Lincoln’s statement is accurate. The statement means that building and rebuilding are accomplished by formation warfare, not by melee warfare. This insight is always accurate in any situation life can generate.

For example, The American Revolutionary War — note the word Revolutionary — was fought and won by cadres of citizens who volunteered to train up and fight as professional armies. Ditto the Civil War Between The States. Neither war was won by roving partisans behind trees much less by emoting mobs, although both partisans and mobs have utility when operating inside a system of formation warfare.

A mob is useful for denominating a depth of anger and frustration, but for correcting situations they are worse than useless. Mobs are rivers of molten lava burning across the fruited plains.

Fighting formations drilled in the arts of war, on the other hand, do fix problems and build solutions, as our and other nations’ histories illustrate. For this reason, and for some years now, I have commended local formations of Civil Defense Battalions.

I would divine that judges at all seats of jurisdiction look to their laurels and put their affairs in order. The Prophets and The Savior, after all, mention judges as foremost in line awaiting recompense for dispensing injustice.

People appear to be in quest of God. They do not realise that all that they see is permeated by God. All forms are Divine. But because their vision is outwards, they are unable to have the inner vision of the Divine. Man craves for peace. Though the source of peace and bliss is within himself, he seeks them in the external, like one pursuing a mirage. Owing to restless activity, endless worry and limitless desires, man has lost peace of mind and has become a prey to discontent and misery. At the outset, peace has to be cultivated within ourselves. And then that peace has to be extended to the family. From the home it should spread to our village. Thus, peace should begin with the individual and spread to the whole society. You have to engage yourselves in service, eschewing every trace of ahamkara (conceit). Our degradation is the result of forgetting God. When we remember God, our life will be filled with peace and happiness!
