Were the Spartans Really Homosexual?

Posted under Classical Texts & Culture War & History

I’m overlooking Plutarch (Boeotia c. 46 – c. 120 AD) who lived much later than Xenophon (Athens c. 430 – c. 350 BC).

Xenophon writes in Constitution of the Lacedaimonians:

I think I ought to say something also about intimacy with boys, since this matter also has a bearing on education. In other Greek states, for instance among the Boeotians, man and boy live together, like married people; elsewhere, among the Eleians, for example, consent is won by means of favours. Some, on the other hand, entirely forbid suitors to talk with boys.

The customs instituted by Lycurgus were opposed to all of these. If someone, being himself an honest man, admired a boy’s soul and tried to make of him an ideal friend without reproach and to associate with him, he approved, and believed in the excellence of this kind of training. But if it was clear that the attraction lay in the boy’s outward beauty, he banned the connexion as an abomination; and thus he caused lovers to abstain from boys no less than parents abstain from sexual intercourse with their children and brothers and sisters with each other.

The Anti-Christ Right

Posted under Christianity & Classical Texts & Conservatism & Political Philosophy & Race & Religion & Western Civilization

Some dude I’ve never heard of named Jerry Salyer has an EXCELLENT article up at Chronicles on the neopagan right. It is a must read. Anyone know who this obscure Salyer fellow is? He’s got talent. I think the young man might have a future in the writing business.

Posted under BookLog & Christianity & Classical Texts & Conservatism & Culture & Education & Europe & Free Trade & Globalism & Immigration & Interventionism & Iraq & Israel & NAU & NeoCons & Neoliberals & Political Correctness & Political Philosophy & Politics & Religion & Terrorism

Here is the inception of the NeoCon Lexicon. If you can think of any additions or corrections, please post them below, or email them to: editors[at]conservativetimes.org

——-
THE NEOCON DICTIONARY

The Amen Corner: The neocon’s “useful idiots,” naive Christians unknowingly committing self-destruction by backing the neocon secularist/globalist agenda.

Blood and soil: The basis of traditional patriotism, practiced by Zionist neocons, but forbidden to Christians of Anglo/European descent.

Allan Bloom: Jewish homosexual, hostile towards Christianity, died of AIDS, and author of Closing of the American Mind, which reads like “a civics textbook designed for New Deal Democrats” (Gottfried).

Neocon Calendar: Always set to 1939, where “if drastic action is not taken on X, then a second Holocaust is just around the corner.”

FDR: Hero to neocons. Soft socialism mixed with perpetual foreign war is a fine wine to the neocon pallet.

Abe Foxman: A Leftist fellow traveler, hater of Christianity, checks the right flank for the neocon by attacking real conservatives, so the neocon can further secularize and globalize the West.

Free trade: The neocon method of destroying Western economies – while making a fast buck too!

Genophilia: Instinctive attachment to family and tribe, practiced by Zionist neocons, forbidden to Christians of Anglo/European descent. Continue Reading »

The “Education” Racket

Posted under Classical Texts & Conservatism & Education & Political Correctness & Political Philosophy

In the newest issue of Chronicles (Sept. 2007), there’s a great article by Thomas Fleming, “Counting People and People Who Count,” on the educational racket. Many of the ills, he maintains, were popularized by John Dewey.

“John Dewey and his students developed the argument to include a soft social-science indoctrination that would liberate American kids from the shackles of race, ethnicity, nationality, region, class, wealth, religion, taste, and anything else their poor benighted parents valued. By the late 1960s, the attack was extended to sex and gender, species and phylum.”

The pragmatists were some of forerunners in deracinating Western man from his ancestral pride and traditions. The New Left only later hastens a project already underway.
