Today's Culture

The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.

Real Islam

Muslims are not taught to be at peace with unbelievers but to struggle relentlessly to bring them under Qur'anic rule. Just as the communists sometimes followed a policy of peaceful coexistence when it seemed convenient, Muslim aggression may be more apparent at some times than at others, but the underlying struggle is unrelenting.

Humpty-Dumpty World

There was a time when words had meaning. Not anymore. Words are what the Left says they are. They are so concerned about freedom of speech that whenever a conservative shows up to speak, they have to come out in force to ensure that conservative will never have the opportunity to open his mouth and say something they don’t agree with.

Violating Terrorist's Rights?

When a government earnestly seeks to root out terrorism, public opinion immediately accuses it of violating the terrorists' rights.

Victimhood

When you elevate victimhood as virtue, you will create a culture in which people are tripping over themselves to be oppressed.

Pay Attention, Ladies!

Come on ladies, you know this: your youthful physical beauty is for building a family. It is not a personal plaything your for giddy vanity. If you use your beauty for ego gratification, it will dry up and die in your wrinkled hands. Then it will be too late to be loved.

Stefan Molyneux. Cited by Mike Adams on Facebook

Paratrooper


It was the old story of the men with the maroon berets who never worry about odds.

Don't Let Words Control You

You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you that mean everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.

The Truth About Psychoanalysis

I went to my psychiatrist to be psychoanalyzed 
To find out why I killed the cat and blackened my husband’s eye.
He laid me on a downy couch to see what he could find,
And here’s what he dredged up, from my subconscious mind.
When I was one, my mummy hid my dolly in a trunk
And so it follows, naturally, that I am always drunk.
When I was two, I saw my father kiss the maid one day,
And that is why I suffer from kleptomania.
At three I had a feeling of ambivalence towards my brothers, 
And so it follows, naturally, that I poisoned all my lovers.
But I am happy now I have learned the lessons this has taught:
Everything I do that’s wrong, is someone else’s fault!

Anna Russell, “Psychiatric Folk Song,” cited by Gary E. Gilley, This Little Church Stayed Home: A faithful church in deceptive times, pg.64

Do Words Have Objective Meanings?

If words have no objective meaning; and all interpretation lies in the mind of the reader (hearer), then the logical deduction is that communication is impossible. Additionally, the reasoning, logic, and pronouncements of the post-modernist proponents are just as preposterous as anyone else’s. If the content of their words have no meaning, apart from the meaning you or I choose to give them, then they have nothing meaningful to say.

The Real Goal of Sexual Biology-Deniers

For too long, many Americans have misunderstood the goals of the LGBT community, particularly its activist leaders.  The majority of Americans thought this movement was about winning acceptance and tolerance of gay Americans, something few people found objectionable.

But that was never the goal.  It was only an intermediary step.  The goal was always about forcing Americans to celebrate and bow before the full and ever-expanding LGBT agenda while detaching America from its Judeo-Christian heritage and moral framework.  The destruction of Christianity in society is the goal.

Note that liberals are always the aggressors on this issue.  While many Christians do not want to be forced to celebrate what they believe to be sin, they are not attacking or discriminating against members of that community.  Most Christians rarely think about this issue at all.  But they also don't want to be forced to violate their own deeply held religious beliefs, which is where they become vulnerable for attack.  Since they don't celebrate the LGBT agenda, they are the enemy. . . . 

The LGBT movement will not be happy until Christianity is completely driven from the public square and criminalized.  This is why Christian bakers, photographers, florists, and business-owners are being sued under the most outrageous pretexts.  These cases are almost always deliberately set up by extreme activists seeking a pretext to destroy what they hate.  They often succeed.

The goal is to either beat the Christian business-owner in court or bankrupt him through the legal process.  The burdensome and expensive process alone within the administrative state is often punishment enough to accomplish the goal.

Presumption

Presumption is a fire-work made up of pride and foolhardiness. It is indeed like a heavy house built upon slender crutches. Like dust, which men throw against the wind, it flies back in their faces, and makes the blind.

Author unknown. Quoted in Was Christ God, by Spiros Zodhiates

Ambition and Avarice

There are two passions which have a powerful influence in the affairs of men. These are Ambition and Avarice; the love of power and the love of money. Separately, each of these has great force in prompting man to action; but when united in view of the same object they have in many minds the most violent effects.

Benjamin Franklin, cited in All the Men of the Bible, by Herbert Lockyer.

Helping the Poor?

If you want to see the poor remain poor, generation after generation, just keep the standards low in their schools and make excuses for their academic shortcomings and personal behavior. But please don’t congratulate  yourself on your compassion.

A Fascist Ideology

I have a collection of memes regarding the LGBTXYZ agenda, some of which I found and posted on Facebook, but since FB is suspending accounts which post things of which FB does not approve I decided to make a post here with all these memes I've collected.  This collection should provoke some thinking about the agenda and how 3% of the population is taking control of the other 97%.
