Adesso per i democratici è tempo di "famiglia gay" at the White House

It's one “new spring” for the Democrats. A compromise between what US progressives were until Hillary Clinton's defeat and what the “new left”, the ecologist and pauperist neo-doctrine of Ocasio Cortez, would like for the future of the donkeys.
When Pete Buttigieg announced he would run in the Democratic primary, political scientists thought momentum might have arrived – a term so dear to American analysts – of the first homosexual elected as president of the United States. Today, after a few weeks, the storytelling built around this figure, so gentle, so elegant and spendable, yes it's a while’ extended. Time did it too, not to mention “really”, a cover: with Pete Buttigieg should win first the preliminary round and then the presidential elections, to take up residence at the White House would be the first gay family in the history of the United States.
It is a political language – communicative which is not uncommon to come across. Some might argue that they do not understand the extraordinary nature of the matter. Julius Caesar did not live near the 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500, but it was for quite a while’ of time the most important man on the planet and, according to Cicero also the “wife of all husbands”. It would be worth not caring about the sexual behavior of political leaders.
Pete Buttigieg is one of the few leaders, among those present on the mainstream, to present a markedly pro-LGBT personal story. Because it's his experience, also personal, to talk about “new rights”. There is a wedding with a man behind her back, which is still ongoing and which has depended on certain reformist legislation. And then there is a way of conceiving the Catholic faith, which in Italy we would define “adult”, but which in US liberal circles is seen as the only meritorious one: the postmodernist one. The other competitors, those instances, they can only list them among the programmatic priorities or little more. The dream activity of politically correct recorded an increase.

Burn Notre-Dame, like the entire Western civilization

THE TRAGEDY AT THE BEGINNING OF HOLY WEEK
«With Notre-Dame a part of us burns»: he said as much, according to news agencies, French President Emmanuel Macron during the devastating fire that destroyed the Paris cathedral, symbol of the Gothic architectural style.
What Macron said is undoubtedly true and therefore, at least in theory, shareable, if only it didn't come from a leading exponent of that European political and ideological class that has contributed more than ever in recent decades to setting fire not only to the supporting pillars of Western civilization, but his own spirit.
The historical-artistic tragedy that took place among the fires of Notre-Dame, Indeed, can serve as a useful suggestion to reflect on human and cultural tragedy that is consuming from within, like the flames between the wooden beams of the transept and the nave of the famous Parisian church, the entire Western civilization.
It would be more appropriate to ask, Therefore, why cry on the blackened stones that will remain at Notre-Dame after a few hours of intense and indomitable fire, if you have time, with a violence far superior to that of the largest pyre imaginable, and without any internal or external disturbance, you are not Read More

Life and family: here is the new ideological polarization

It sometimes happens that the more vehement and extreme the reactions to a cultural and political phenomenon, the more they reveal how much that phenomenon is touching very sensitive nerves and deep layers of a society.. And they highlight how the conflicts of forces and ideological alignments in a specific moment of history are being redefined around the theme raised by that phenomenon.
This is exactly what happened in recent days at the World Congress of Families held in Verona. The very violent campaign of denigration, dispute, intimidation unleashed against the event – but also, on the other side, the decisive endorsement towards it by right-wing political leaders such as Salvini and Meloni - are the unequivocal sign of the fact that those connected to the family, to motherhood, sexuality represent central themes of the political debate in our country today more than ever, as throughout the West.
Gli issues “biopolitici” – all those connected to primary instinctual drives as well as to genesis, treatment, manipulation of life – began to break into the political dialectics of industrialized democracies with the youth rebellion of the 1960s and 1970s, overlapping and replacing economic and social ones, and since then their relevance has continued to grow, until it is established, as seen today, one of the main watersheds between the political identity of the left and the right.

Norway, the Christians in government are serious: "Sui temi etici a noi l'ultima parola!"

AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHER GOVERNMENTS AND ADMINISTRATIONS
The debate on bioethics in Norway continues to hold sway within the political scenario. Il Christian People's Party (KrF), after joining the Prime Minister's governing coalition Erna Solberg and having achieved the goal of restricting twin abortions (or embryoreductions), which will therefore no longer be practicable on the basis of the woman's mere request but only after the mandatory opinion of a specific medical commission, obtained the right of veto in the field of genetics and biotechnology to be included in the government contract. This means that the KrF will be able to block amendments to the biotechnology law, now stop in Parliament. Despite this law overall enjoying the favor of the parliamentary majority, composed of all three other parties in government, the new unanimous consent clause introduced in the government contract upsets previous agreements on the topic, e it effectively gives a minority political force such as the Christian People's Party the ability to dictate the law in the field of bioethics.
Specifically, the main effects of the blocking of the law in question, as announced by party leader Kjell Ingolf Ropstad, they will be: the ban on egg donation, the restriction on medically assisted procreation, including for example the ban on extending this practice to singles, and the prohibition of mitochondrial donation.

In memory of Alexander Solzhenitsyn witness (forgotten) delle atrocità dell'utopia socialista

Aleksandr Solženicyn

12 Dic 2018

«Do not forget your lineage, your past, study what concerns your grandparents and ancestors, do your best to strengthen his memory": This is how Pavel Florenskij wrote about the importance of memory and the past a few years before he died, shot by the Soviet regime for alleged "counter-revolutionary activities". From Florenskij's reflections emerges the importance of remembering what has been, as in the case of the centenary of his birth, which took place on December 11th 1918, of the life and thought of Alexander Solzhenitsyn That, because of his experience and his works, he can be considered in all respects one of the last Western authors, today almost completely extinct, not just genuinely free, but defenders of authentic freedom. First of all, it is necessary to note the indifference with which the Western world in general and Europe in particular has approached such an anniversary, thus proving at least two characteristics of the current cultural scenario to be quite worrying: first of all a general disregard for history, neglect which entails the possibility of repeating the mistakes and even horrors of the past; secondly, in the face of a continuous exaltation of freedom, a lack of knowledge of its real nature and of its greatest masters, among whom Solzhenitsyn can and must be included, is demonstrated.
