Today, I direct you, dear reader, to an article at Mises.org:

If the West is to climb out of its sickbed, it must start by giving greater attention to clear thinking, involving the logical consequences of decisions. Clarity must be brought to our political discourse; intellectual virtue must be praised and intellectual sloth discouraged.
The political mess we find ourselves in today has much to do with the “useful idiots” who served the communist agenda, and the compromising centrism that refused to have open discussions about what nationalism is, what ethnic identity is, what a priori assumptions we impose on issues connected with social care and taxation, etc.
All Along the Watchtower 
And perhaps the biggest ‘useful idiot’ on the planet presently is referred to as Pope and I call simply call Bergoglio. This short presentation by Michael Matt is excellent and I recommend it to one and all, Catholic or Prostestant. Enjoy! (if that is actually possible).

An impassioned plea for true evangelism and proclamation of truth generally. I admire the spirit of it – but am dubious about reform of the public façade of Catholicism – I suspect underground is where the rebirth and miracles will happen. Perhaps also alliance with conservative Protestants and Orthodox. Heaven knows I would be happy to attend a Mass, even barred from communion.
