Discussion: Gorka Storms Out Of Georgetown Panel After Tough Student Questions

The best example of which would have been Gorka’s recent foray into the cultural racism in the United States, which he hypothesized no longer exists and is a figment of African-Americans’ hyper-sensitivity shared by the non-Breitbart media.

Bitter strange fruit that grows in the hearts of the evil.

Mr. Gorka appears to be a big that-by-which-his-boss-grabs-women.

One of the iron laws of human nature is that those men who pretend to possess military credibility via the wearing of fake medals and faux uniforms are always pathetic chickenshits when confronted in person by those who aren’t bamboozled or intimidated by the surface displays of bravado.

Men like Eisenhower, Bradley, Halsey, Grant, Sherman, and Washington—who all personally experienced the horrors and terrors of real combat—would sneer and laugh at worms like Gorka.

homoousion?

Wow I can’t believe they had so little respect for him, well actually what I mean is I can’t believe they had any respect for him.

Probably already been said, but this is how campuses should handle right wing nut jobs. Protesting to the point that they have to cancel their appearance does nothing but play into their grubby hands. Let them speak, then challenge their views and humiliate them with words. But let them speak - their ridiculous ideas will out them for the fools they are.

How about wearing a Nazi medal while in a democratic governent. Is that arrogance or just a goose-stepping hoot?

Nazi Assholes, SVU (Special Victims Unit).

Now that is cultural appropriation.

Sturm and Drang,

Don’t step in the Gorka!

My father fought these bastards in WWII. I am not afraid of them. But, I think they are afraid of us.
Where’s that Nazi-slugging video?

Typical bully behavior…

It’s funny how it used to be right wing nut jobs that saw Russians and nazis lurking in every shadow, and now it’s left wing nut jobs taking up the mantle. What wonders time has wrought.

No way Drumpf deports him - Gorka might be the missing link:

Homoousion vs. homoiousion.

They may be able to be expressed, but requiring a paragraph of text to explain. For an obvious example, take the word jihad. It doesn’t simply translate to “holy war”, but refers to the struggle for purity and righteousness. Most would consider this to be conducted primarily personally, but many both now and in the earliest years expand it to a crusade to spread the true faith and cleanse the world of the unrighteous, i.e. the current common usage in English.

Most languages have things like this, including English. Take a relatively simple word that just came to mind, agony. It could be translated simply as “pain”, but it has special connotations of long-lasting, ongoing pain born out of overwhelming injury to the body or the soul. Not all languages have a word for that. Hell, most languages don’t have a word for “blue”!

As to Greek philosophy, you seem to have pivoted to religion instead, but would be fascinated to know more about this ‘essentially meaningless’ concept. I wonder if that’s how the English-speaking members of those churches see it.

I don’t claim to be an expert, but in the past ~100 years or so they’ve moved towards coming back into communion, having realized that their theological differences are largely unimportant, so you can ask them.

Only the best!
