"Think of the male archetype in romance novels, which is a literary form almost exclusively read by women. He is a tall prince and a neurosurgeon. He is a risk-taker who wrestles alligators and subdues them on his six-pack abs, and yet is sensitive enough to be tamed by the love of a good woman. This archetype is universally found in romance novels read by women in Egypt, Japan, and Bolivia … Most of the traits and behaviours that are likely found under the rubric of “toxic masculinity” are precisely those that most women find attractive in an ideal mate. This is not a manifestation of “antiquated stereotypes.” It is a reality that is as trivially obvious as the existence of gravity." A brief (6.5 min.)youtube audio of him reading an excerpt from an article he's published. The illustrative photo is one many of us can identify with :) Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNQ1g0W2470 ------------------------------------------------------------------ L-The Cult. Marxist denigration of masculinity has been it's most successful transfer of class conflict into identity politics in the West. It's a contributory factor in a less than replacement birthrate, a high divorce rate and often to the less than optimal socialization of male children. It has also been a major factor in many West. nations doing mass importation of economic/political migration from hostile/incompatible cultures. This correlation with localized areas of high crime and terrorism is not coincidental. The male protective role in the West has been supplanted by a pathological empathy outlined so articulately in the song/poem about the woman and the snake. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, March 10, 2018 10:19 am From: dennisryoung@telus.net Subject: Trump to ban bump stocks TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TAKES FIRST STEP TO BAN BUMP STOCKS "The Department of Justice has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a notice of a proposed regulation to clarify that the National Firearms and Gun Control Act defines 'machinegun' to include bump stock type devices," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.

Since the Feb. 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Peterson has taken heat for not entering the school during the mass shooting, a decision which he has defended by claiming the gunfire appeared to have been arising from outside on campus. However, internal radio dispatches released on Thursday by the sheriff's office proved Peterson had radioed that gunfire was happening "inside" Building 12 and warned officers to "stay at least 500 feet away." The first police entrance into the building happened 11 minutes after the shooting began, according to the Miami Herald. Deputies are required by policy to eliminate the threat by engaging an active shooter in such situations, and Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel believes Peterson should have entered the building and shot the suspect, CNN noted.----- read more --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, March 11, 2018 9:53 am From: dennisryoung@telus.net Subject: RESULTS: CSSA SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE SURVEY RESULTS: CSSA SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE SURVEY "Gun owners vehemently oppose banning semi-automatic firearms," said Tony Bernardo, CSSA Executive Director. https://s3.amazonaws.com/CSSA/PDF/CSSA-2018-Semi-Automatic-Rifle-Survey.pdf ------------------------------ Date: Sun, March 11, 2018 10:59 am From: dennisryoung@telus.net Subject: Facebook, Google Block Ads For Gun.Locks FACEBOOK, GOOGLE BLOCK ADS FOR GUN.LOCKS Hell, anti-gun crusaders are trying to pass laws that require people to lock up their guns.

In an interview with a German TV broadcaster in Syria, he tells how his life was in danger in Austria and why he made the decision to return. Haddad says he reached Austria by spending €3,000 on smugglers. At first he wanted to stay there, but he changed his mind after he saw how many refugees pledged to terrorist groups like Al-Nusra and ISIS. As a Christian he didn’t feel safe among them in Austria and he had to keep his faith a secret or it could cost him his life. Haddad says extremists wanted to change churches into mosques and he had to talk like them to survive. After he contacted the Austrian authorities about it, they didn’t take him seriously. That was the moment he decided to leave and now he lives in Syria again. Haddad warns Europe and says “it’s not good that Europe is open to all”. “ISIS and Al-Nusra want to destroy everything, even with you. If you do not understand that, I’m pessimistic for the future of Europe,” he says. https://voiceofeurope.com/2018/03/christian-refugee-returns-to-syria-because-europe-is-flooded-with-isis-supporters/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- L- Being able and willing to discriminate between refugees and hostile insurgents infiltrating your country is a lifeskill.
