Do we choose the Dionysian worldview of Woodstock, or the Apollonian philosophy that allowed for the landing on the Moon? Do we choose mythology or reason? The Evangelical church is also a Dionysian movement as well. More emotional, less rational... That's why it's funny to watch evangelicals doing political battle with the Woodstock crowd! It's just a different form of emotionalism. Our Apollonian and Dionysian Choice Metaphysics and epistemology are totally absent from the Tea Party movement - rather it's mostly composed of emotionally charged political sound-bites with no clear philosophical foundation. We better bring more than "we love liberty" with us to this battle. Keep in mind, Marx is selling liberty in the marketplace as well. http://www.streetwisepundit.com/ Our choice was given in 1969.

Forget about all the micro-politics and points of minor argument and sit down and create a city. I wonder what that would look like? A post-modern liberal and a classical liberal building a polis together. We both worldviews want the "best" for people. We both value freedom. I wonder what that city would look like?

This week I will give a very brief overview of the work of Eric Voegelin and how his insights pertain to our current crisis. Voegelin is not well known outside of a few intellectual circles, yet I feel the reading of some of his works is essential for those who seek a deeper understanding of our current social condition. “Man is essentially social; to live in truth against appearances when the power of society is thrown on the side of appearances is a burden on the soul that is impossible to bear for the many, and hard to bear for the few.” http://www.streetwisepundit.com Over the next several weeks, I will be focusing on some of the t... https://madcastradio.podomatic.com/entry/2009-09-25T07_53_33-07_00 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/madcastradio/episodes/2009-09-25T07_53_33-07_00 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:53:33 +0000 2013-12-05 2013-12-05 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/madcastradio/episodes/2009-09-25T07_53_33-07_00 StreetWisePundit 1086 false There are no easy solutions.

My wife and I have grown ever more displeased with the atmosphere on FOX that seems more and more filled with cheesy humor, sexual innuendos, and Jerry Springer like broadcasting. I find myself turning to CNN more and more despite their left leanings. They run a far more professional outfit. Leading the charge on the FOX implosion into a drama show is the ever popular Glenn Beck. Sure, Glenn puts on a good show and gets the villagers all riled up, but in the long run Glenn does a disservice to the movement.

The gnostic liberals positions are not supportable by reason. Therefore they will often simply claim that people like myself are being uncompassionate, disrespectful, oppressive, bigoted, fearful, and of harsh tone.

Every morning one can awake to the news of the latest victims of youth violence in Chicago, sometimes dropping by the half-dozen. Much of Chicago reminds me of Third World conditions, with angry clans running the streets. Remember that Chicago has overridden the Second Amendment in order to supposedly stop gun violence. On July 22nd there were seven separate shooting incidents within one hour of that day. How could things like this happen when Chicago banned guns? We have over 40 children that have been killed this year alone…what is the solution they offer? Tighter gun control. www.streetwisepundit.com Chicago's Gun Violence and the Damage Done Taccara Swain was shot in the head on last Wednesday ...
