If you thought your evening would be a peaceful, ordinary time of rest on Palm Sunday, you could have something entirely different in store, that is, if you keep reading below.............
.

This article appears on the CFN website, dated Feb. 26th (url says 2-24) but I'm just seeing it now.
.
This is the kind of thing the MSM won't give the time of day to, and will invariably ignore (like Modernists in Pascendi Dominici Gregis).
They stand around in a circle surrounding such a thing or a person, and silently turn their backs to it or to him (or in this case, her).
Pope St. Pius X (arguably the similarly saintly Cardinal Merry del Val, having written Pascendi) said this back-turning silent treatment is how they deal with otherwise unstoppable truth.
.
Fascinating.
.
It seems to me though, that Traditionalists (like those here on CI) have only not noticed this speech because we have not had it put into a forum post, but I decided to change that once and for all. So THERE.
.
(Or, should I say, "So HERE!)
.
When I first attempted to read it, I missed most of the content because the copy I saw had much of the text missing.
What I COULD read was actually too shocking for me to guess what the rest (missing) might be.
I took a stab in the dark and filled in some of the obviously missing words. Interestingly, I wasn't far off.
However, the real words which I later found complete online were even HARDER-HITTING than I had anticipated.
So I had the benefit of being prepped and then struck, as if by lightening, by the full version.
.
I would like to point out that in the wake of John Vennari's death, there are more typographical errors in CFN than he would ever have allowed, and this article online is a great example of that. If I had only gone online to read this, I would have been confused, because there are commas that don't belong, other commas missing and words improperly spelled (such as "atomized world" where a world with robot-like offspring is obviously supposed to be represented by automatized world). The cuмulative effect is one that makes me overlook in-depth meaning which I would really like to have, if possible.
.
However, while he was alive, John stubbornly refused to allow important CFN articles (like this one) to be posted online because he believed that his most loyal readers should be rewarded with a physical paper copy which cannot be found adequately represented online. It seems to me that perhaps Our Lord took him away from us in order to allow the floodgates to open, for now much of the previously paper-copy-only material can be accessed online. I strongly encourage readers to use their website to see what is available now, because it was almost never found there during John's supervision. And perhaps if we all politely suggest that an online subscription would be made available...
.
That being said, what I am posting below is copy that I have edited by removal of inappropriate commas, insertion of missing commas, and correction of misspelled words as evident by grammar or connotation context. I hope that the first time you read this you might get the "full enchilada" effect that I had to wait for. (Additionally, I have taken the liberty to add some emphasis by bold, italics, underline, and/or a combination, but I really tried to control myself. Let me know if you hate these emphases.)

Every year, Conservatives™ from all over the world travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in an event called CPAC (short for Conservative™ Political Action Conference), where speakers develop and expound their political ideologies in the wake of current events. CPAC has hosted notable speeches from Right Wing powerhouses such as Andrew Breitbart in 2012 , Ann Coulter , (Leader of UKIP), and less Right Wing and more of a wildcard, President Donald Trump, who really entered into political discourse at CPAC in 2013 .
.
Now, I do need to make a little side-note before we continue any further. You may have noticed the Trademark symbol [™] next to the word "conservative," and believe me, I have a good reason for this. You see, Conservatism™ is a very specific brand of political ideology. It's not actually Conservative. At its core, it is actually Liberalism.
.
Conservatives™ today are yesterday's liberals. Conservatives™ fight for "freedom of speech," "freedom of the press," "individual liberties," and "freedom of conscience"; they are generally ok with letting gαy people get "married" because they don't want to be called bigots; they're strong supporters of the modern state of Israel; they regard the Constitution as a "sacred text"; and voting is a "sacrament."
.
These, of course, are not Conservative values in the original sense of the word. You see, the Progressive/Conservative dialectic really started at the Estates General of 1789 in France:  the beginning of the French Revolution. Those on the left wing of the room wanted a constitutional monarchy and eventually the deposition of the King, those on the right wing of the room wanted to preserve France's Catholic Monarchy. So at the outset, being a "Right Winger" meant advocating for a Catholic Monarchy wherein the State is wed to the Church... Sign me up!
.
But in America, our founding principles were liberal. Therefore, anyone who seeks to conserve those liberal principles are, for lack of a better word, Liberal Conservatives. I'm sure that a case could be made for calling them "Liberalists" but, ultimately, any political system where error is given license via "Freedom of Speech," is a system bound to collapse in on itself, because it has effectively rendered itself defenseless against ideological subversion.
.
[Some things bear repeating:  Ultimately, any political system where error is given license via "Freedom of Speech," is a system bound to collapse in on itself, because it has effectively rendered itself defenseless against ideological subversion. I must say, this is the first time I have seen this concept in print. I really like it!]
.
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Ben Shapiro, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, John McCain etc. are all Conservatives™. (Some in the list are also neo-Cons, but neo-Conservatism is still built on the liberal building-block of American Conservatism™.)
.
With that understanding in mind, let's go back to CPAC 2018.
.
[The first time I tried to read this, seeing this sentence, "With that understanding in mind...," I had no idea what "understanding" they were referring to.  But I nonetheless attempted to read along further, while additional questions continued to arise in my mind with an ever-increasing intensity.]
.

.
Marion Le Pen, the youngest MP in modern history, niece of Marine Le Pen , granddaughter of Jean Marie Le Pen , and executive board member of the National Front (a French political party) didn't just make waves for being the most beautiful conservative woman in the room, she absolutely decimated the boundaries between Conservatives™ and real Right-Wing'ers.
.
She starts off her speech with the most disingenuous "hello fellow Conservatives™" that I've ever heard in my life, and proceeds to woo her American audience with talk of the American Revolution and all the typical "freedom speak." Now here is where I want to begin making distinctions. The Le Pen family is Catholic. Catholics understand the difference between freedom and license. When young Miss Le Pen speaks of "Freedom of Speech" and "Liberty of Conscience," these are decidedly Catholic values. Not the same Freedom of Speech (which is really license) that allows people to blaspheme and spread false doctrines and errors, but a freedom of Truth -- freedom for what is Good and Right. Since American conservatives really have never thought about these "catch phrases" from a Catholic perspective, they eat it up, and Marion Le Pen succeeds in camouflaging herself as a Conservative™.
.
[My first read of this mistook that as a criticism, but after seeing the full version I realized it is a complement to say she succeeds in camouflaging herself as one. The great Fr. Patrick Girouard succeeded in camouflaging himself with a disguise in order to escape the clutches of the Neo-SSPX a few years ago.]
.
As she continues her speech, she drops some serious truth bombs:
.
-- Without nation and without family, the limits of the common good, natural law, and collective morality disappear, as the reign of egoism continues.

-- France is in process of passing from the eldest daughter of the Catholic Church to the little niece of Islam, the terrorism is only the tip of the iceberg ...

-- Today even children have become merchandise . . . we hear now in the public debate: “We have the right to order children in a catalogue, we have the right to rent a woman’s womb, we have the right to deprive a child of a mother or father.”  No you don’t.  A child is not a right.  Is this the freedom we want? No, we don’t want an automatized world of individualism -- without gender, without father, without mother and without nation.
.
I almost got misty-eyed when I saw this speech for the first time, but for all of the truth in her speech, for all of her passion, this speech has gone almost completely un-noticed by Conservatives™ and Traditionalists alike. As a matter of fact, it seems like the only people who were paying attention were our enemies (the Left-Wing, Lying Press):
.
Trump’s GOP is morphing into France’s far right
.
French Far-Right Leader Marion Maréchal-Le Pen Sounded a Lot Like Trump at CPAC
.
Far-right French politician Marion Marechal-Le Pen condemns Muslim immigration in CPAC speech
.
Why Is CPAC Afraid of Real Conservatives?
.
And, of course, all of the above have the "obligatory" paragraph about how the Le Pen family is a bigoted, xenophobic, homophobic, RACIST, ANTI-SEMITIC group of "Far-Right" haters!
.
If there's one thing I've learned in all my research, there is no such thing as being "too Far-Right."
.
Please watch Marion Le Pen's speech below, and make sure you have a box of Kleenex near you.
.
The real fight for Christendom hasn't even begun yet.
[For history buffs, this recalls John Paul Jones' famous battle cry, "I have not yet begun to fight."]
