I have friends. (Really, I do. Not many. Maybe from a long time ago. We lost touch. But, I used to know them, so that counts, right?). We used to go to the same church. Heard the same preaching, good preaching. Know the Bible as the Word of God. But a couple of decades on and we are very very different people. They call me a “racist” because of a political opinion I hold: I oppose open borders. So what…
I can’t emphasize this enough. When someone calls you (or your ideas, or someone you agree with) a racist or a nazi or a fascits, that IS hate speech. They are dehumanizing you, and laying the moral argument for your destruction. Do you realize that? When Congressmen and national level politicians call you, your ideas, or people you support “racist,” they are justifying violence against you. They will attack you By Any Means Necessary — slander is just the warm…
I’m not a conservative because conserving what is almost totally lost is no path to victory. I’m not a conservative because the “conservative” movement accepts Christianity in passing, as in “Judeo-Christian values” are a good thing! I’m not a conservative because it pretends to defend vague ideas of traditional values and limited government. And this is good — I’m not kicking anything back to them — it’s just not enough. They want the product of a Christian civilization without it’s…
Coming back to this trope, I have a few ideas to add, some of which have come from AOC’s “Green” agenda. I would have no objection to abandon the idea of a “corporate person.” These “persons” operate beyond local control and act as a law unto themselves imposing upon others that to which others have not consented. Some are larger than nation states. Some run nation states from the shadows. It was an American President who warned of the military-industrial…
It was not an obvious move, for me, to strike out into dangerous territory, which is to mix religion and politics. There are a lot of conservative writers and libertarian, and right wing thinkers and communicators. On the other hand, there are a lot of “Christian” writers and podcasts. And there is, to be fair, some overlap. There are a couple of bloggers and podcasters that I follow that are political, conservative, and Christian, and are open about advocating for…
We are lectured constantly on the need to “compromise” in our politics in order to get along because it is “bad” to be so “divisive.” It’s funny, though, how that compromise is and always will be a compromise toward the Left. The Left calls for compromise on gun control, alien amnesty, gay marriage, social services, student aid and more money for education. It is never a compromise to move the agenda to the Right (less gun control, less money for…
There is no such thing as a non-religious order. The current religious order is a secular and atheistic order that, as a matter of dogma, asserts that this is not “religious.” Attached to this assertion of irreligiousity is a presumption (ingrained in the masses by our public school system) that the non-religions order is superior to and above that of the religious order. But if religion is understood as a system of beliefs and a faith, then there is no…
I was called in by the Prime Minister. He asked me what to do. His country was a failure. Mired in debt, they had borrowed money from the foreigners for decades with no hope of repayment. Bankrupt, because the poor got poorer and there was no industry or agriculture to tax. High unemployment because, like most countries, they bought into the idea of open borders and free flow of trade and commerce. Cheap foreign goods drove small business into bankruptcy….
Globalisms is a term used to signify a process by which the entire globe comes under one set of rules, one set of rights, and one set of understandings how things are supposed to work (in the minds of the elites who set up this system). They (those elites) talk about a global system of law and universal human rights. It is the imposition of a world view upon everyone regardless of how they feel about it. The benefits (per…
There is a reason Jesus Christ commissioned us to go out and preach the Gospel to all nations (blood lines). People believe things based upon what they hear. Simple. No one is omniscient and we all rely up on the word of others to determine what is true. There isn’t enough time or bandwidth in our lives to figure out for ourselves what is true. That’s why we have “education” — it accelerates that process. But not all that is…
