Like You Were a Beetle to be Stepped On
“They don’t mind that kind of language so long as it is being transgressive and is undermining Western civilization. But speak that way in defense of what is pure, noble, lovely, or virtuous, and they stare at you through their lorgnette.”
Which Is a Problem
“The besetting sin of pietism has always been that of wanting to be holier than the Bible.”

“So let me tell you what this symbolism really means. This is what they are saying. They are shamelessly declaring to the world that they are just a couple of cunts. And in response to this horrifying declaration . . . if you are worried about about the impending degradation, you should be worried about the reality first, and the description of that reality second.

You Know, That Thing
“In addition, and running concurrently with all of this, we have had unrelenting mockery for those uptight conservatives who have, for decades, been protesting the coarsening effects of all of the above. They are, of course, puritanical . . . They started having their censorious problems back when Elvis swiveling and doing that thing with his leg.”
