Carpatho-Russians are a unique and distinct people… very different from all other Russians, yet, carrying the essence of Holy Rus perhaps better, and more authentically than all the others do. Our language is the closest to Church Slavonic. Our cuisine is in many ways more in line with New Rome (Byzantine Empire) (spices, flavours, etc). Our dance is Balkan. Our Faith is a distinct but solidly established strain of Russian Orthodoxy. No one else can absorb us. It’s impossible. We are what we are. “Da živet Karpatskaja-Rus!”/”Carpatho-Russia LIVES!” THIS is what we say. A Carpatho-Russian knows another Carpatho-Russian a mile away. If we’re too small to be a nation, we’re something better… a tribe… or better yet, a family. We’ll endure, survive, and thrive. We WILL accuse our many cruel persecutors on the Last Day.

I have nothing to add, not being “of the tribe”. THIS is why I treasure the Rusin people so and stick up for them at every juncture. “Rusins lived… Rusins live… Rusins will live”… ‘nuff said…

Gun Nutters Hold Provocative Rally in St Louis MO… Brandish Arms on Public Streets… IRRESPONSIBLE

Read this. This was too much… gun nutters marching through the public streets with loaded firearms. I’m not against registered hunters owning long arms… I’m not against rural folk keeping the weapons that they NEED for pest control and hunting… I’m not against people having licences for concealed carry. Thank God, nothing happened. Events of this sort attract the loosely wrapped ignorant… they want to flash their guns before the world. As far as I’m concerned, they’re the same as exhibitionists who’d want to walk in public with their wazoos hanging out. These people were looking for trouble… as I said, thank God, nothing happened. Restrictions on open carrying in public places makes sense… anyone who’s against them is a lawless and amoral individual who shouldn’t be let near anything sharp or dangerous. We do live in a crank world… pass the jug…
