The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition![]() Thanksgiving is great! As Joe Mannix ably explained yesterday, it is America's greatest holiday. It is full of joy and camaraderie and fun food, but it is also a peek into American Exceptionalism. We are at once a country that cares deeply for others, and we are also fiercely individualistic. We are religious, but embrace non-religious cultural events. And we understand how wonderfully lucky we are! We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. That is a powerful affirmation of exactly how exceptional we are, and the incredible optimism in every word of that preamble speaks volumes. And it is that optimism on which I will focus for the time being, especially when one compares today to the dark times of just a few months...and years...ago. Do we have problems? Of course, and they may very well be existential, but we have an incredible opportunity for a radical realignment of our culture, our people, and our country, and for that I am immensely grateful. The pessimists among us will suggest that we are in a temporary lull before the onslaught of progressive evil returns. That may be true, but we see around us the results of simply fighting back. We "voted harder," and we also did a lot of hard work to make those votes count. We see all around us the emergence of a new class of conservative politician...people who are not afraid to shock and scare and go on the offensive. They are the future of the conservative movement, and I firmly believe that they are the future of America. And with our help they will succeed! Happy Thanksgiving! May it be a glorious and joyful harbinger of great things to come. [Below the fold is some contrast between those who would change Western culture, and those who embrace it!] Here is Jaguar's attempt to sell cars. It's freakish and weird and insults the very people who want to buy a beautiful, sexy, powerful automobile. Maybe in the tortured and strange world in which the advertising people live, this ad is good, but in the reality based world, where expensive cars and beautiful women are linked, it's off-putting and disturbing. Here is a fun BMW commercial that is trying to sell cars in the old fashioned way! And here is an ad for used cars! Maybe the least sexy product on earth, yet... ![]() [Yeah...it's probably fake, but I don't care] Happy Thanksgiving everyone! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter] | Recent Comments
