FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY!!! Hey there friends and digital neighbors! No caps - maybe less typos??? Don't count on it. Reading Padre-ese has become an artform for some of you early posters.
Community - The children are our future. I have heard that since I was a child. While I was child the public school education I received cultivated a love and respect for the society I was inheriting. It wasn't perfect, but it was steadily improving, even in a little backwater hole like Elsberry and much of the remnant bigotry of the 1970's. Elsberry had its mix of blacks and whites, and the black probably made up about 8% of the school. The little town had even less Mexicans, who were treated with suspicion for "stealing jobs" which oddly neither the whites or blacks wanted to do in the hot sun at the local garden nursery, but stealing none the less. Even with those challenges, you would often see all three complexions of humanity together at different gatherings, not all hunky dory, but better than the race-hustlers and community dividers would have you think.
The inter-webs make me think our current offering from public education and "higher" education is double-crap pudding. I tend to believe much of what I have read about its declining state in the last 25 years. Once again the cabal of the Enemedia, Landfill Academia, Brain-eating Entertainment, the Euro-phobes and Misandry apostles and the Cult of Big Tech have taken the double-crap pudding and spread across a sandwich to poison the minds of our children. I hope we can reclaim them, restore common sense, personal responsibility, freedom from cultist group-think that forbids questions, the world view that groups people into categories of grievance and privilege and a whole host of other attitudes that are lethal to communal growth and prosperity.
Today's quote - hopeful or frightful. I guess it all depends on what really has shaped the minds and hearts of our children. The Department of Indoctrination, I mean "Education", has worked its evil since the the 80's, I hope it can be reversed or our children can be rescued from it. Happy Friday Friends! There are many oasis of hope out there in the real world, helping others find them is so important to restoring our communities and nation.
Today marks the three hundred and thirtieth birthday of the Frenchman François-Marie Arouet, better known by his nom de plume, Voltaire (1694-1778).
Born into a bourgeois family during the reign of Louis XIV, the “Sun King” (r. 1643-1715), Voltaire suffered tragedy at a young age when his mother died. Never close with his father or brother, Voltaire exhibited a rebellious attitude toward authority from his youth. His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.
Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV. Widely recognized as one of the greatest French writers, and even hyperbolically referred to by ...
Between January & June Padre's & Humbuggery took in about $800 dollars. I was thinking of donating it to the Wounded Warrior Project, but I m open to other suggestions. Let me know what you think,
