Remembering Melville

I have shaped these thoughts like a tree. The trunk is the pursuit of truth. What flowers above includes recognition that war is so often horrific folly.

I think both Donald Trump and an earlier America knew that.

Is leftist PC mob rule the modern equivalent of Ahab?

You know, when you read Moby Dick the second time Ahab and the whale become good friends.

Yes, mad Ahab!

“Ego non baptize te in nominee patris, sed in nominee diaboli!” deliriously howled Ahab, as the malignant iron scorchingly devoured the baptismal blood.
Moby Dick
Chapter 113: “The Forge"
New York: Penguin Books, 2001, p 532.

The Democrats and their Party of Hate and Evil baptise their arrows, not in the Name of the Father, but in the Name of the Devil, just as mad Ahab baptised his harpoon.

These evil persons, driven psychotic by their hatred, lust for power, surrender to all the deadly sins, supplication to Satan, and repudiation of all that is holy, are perfectly willing to destroy the entire USA to achieve their evil objectives.

What's most horrifying is that millions of Americans apparently cannot comprehend what's going on.

“As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.”
