The Travesty of Same-Sex Mirage

With the Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision in 2015, five of the nine justices on the high court redefined what marriage had been understood to be for all of history, to include a new, expanded meaning for the purposes of manmade law. That bare majority of justices declared that a same-sex legal union must be recognized as marriage. 

But for Christians, and many other faith traditions, Biblical marriage can only mean a relationship between husband and wife, a fundamental building block of a stable and flourishing society. In our desire to protect marriage in the federal courts and law, we lost. Yet our merciful and long-suffering God has blessed us with the divine institution of marriage to showcase the Gospel for the temporal and eternal good of families and societies.

"Illegal" Means "Illegal"!

I strongly object to the word “immigrant” as applied to aliens who are here illegally. An immigrant is a person who files the requisite applications, receives the requisite approvals after being properly vetted, and then waits his turn to be admitted based on US priorities. It may take time, even several years, but those who are here legally waited their turn and so must (should) everyone. An illegal alien is not a migrant or an immigrant, period.

Never Stop Fighting For Liberty and Freedom

Liberty and freedom are so very precious that you do not fight and win them once and stop. They are prizes awarded only to those peoples who fight to win them and then keep fighting eternally to hold them!…I think any man who talks against the interests of his own country ought to be arrested and put in jail, not excepting senators and colonels.

The Evil of Public Education

State schools were always meant to indoctrinate a new generation. Modern schools are community organizing centers and the ideal educator is a community organizer. American students are falling behind in most areas, but they are succeeding at what they have really been taught, to march out of school and rally for gun control, the environment or for racial equity.


Beyond indoctrination, community organizing sets out to ‘raise their consciousness’ so that the students see themselves as victims in the major political conflicts, like gun control or environmentalism, and then to shift them into the permanent category of victim activists.


Daniel Greenfield, Castrating Kids To Win Elections



This is exactly what we were warned about in 1983:


The battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public-school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as proselytizers of a new faith: a new religion of humanity - utilizing the classroom instead of a pulpit to carry humanist values into wherever they teach. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new - the rotting corpse of Christianity, ...  and the new faith of humanism.


John J. Dunphy, Humanist Magazine, 1983

Relativism—A Moral Free-For-All

Relativism’s chief virtue is tolerance, or so it seems. A closer look, though, shows just the opposite to be true: the obligation of tolerance is meaningless in relativism.


“Morality is individual,” relativists say, “therefore we ought to tolerate others’ viewpoints and not pass judgment on their behavior and attitudes.” Do you see the contradiction built into the sentence? The word “ought” is a give-away. This attempt commits suicide.


If there are no objective moral rules, there can be no rule that requires tolerance. In fact, if there is no moral truth, that’s a good reason not to be tolerant at all. Why not force my personal morality on others if it’s in my own self-interest and my own ethics allow it?


Moral relativism does not lead to tolerance. It leads to a moral free-for-all.

Maintain Parental Authority!!!!

Maintaining parental authority—of one’s mother as much as one’s father—is central to maintaining an orderly civilization. That is why cults and totalitarian movements seek to sever parental authority. Parental authority is also a gateway to divine authority. One who honors his parents’ authority is considerably more likely to honor God’s authority.

The Open Border is a Trojan Horse.

 To admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens, the moment they put foot in our country, as recommended in the Message, would be nothing less, than to admit the Grecian Horse into the Citadel of our Liberty and Sovereignty.

Unhappiness From Not Accepting Responsibilities

The unhappy…often seek to destroy their societies. The primary reason is that they attribute their unhappiness to society, not to their own attitudes and choices, the tragedies that periodically darken even happy lives, or their own inability or unwillingness to improve their lot in life.

The Devaluing of Virginity and Marriage

[A] consequence of devaluing virginity has been the devaluing of marriage. Until the latter half of the twentieth century, one reason men married was that marriage provided the one socially acceptable way to have sex on a regular basis. It was not the only reason men got married—religion and society made marriage and family central values—but now that A) society does not promote marriage, B) religion is dying, and C) many men can get sex with no commitment, fewer Western (and Asian) men and women are marrying than ever before.

Don't Give Up Liberty

They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
