It’s a PC World

In the world of political correctness, arguments are resolved by social force and shaming, not by discussion, evaluating evidence, or civility.

How to Counter the LEFT

The single best thing Americans can do to counter the left-wing attack on America — against its freedoms, its schools, its families, its children, its governmental institutions, its sports, its news and entertainment media, its medical establishment, the CIA, the FBI, the State Department and the military — is to take their children out of America’s schools.


Other than in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), the vast majority of America’s elementary schools, high schools, colleges and universities teach your child or grandchild almost nothing important; prematurely sexualize them, thereby robbing them of their innocence; and harm them intellectually and morally. They rarely teach them, for example, art or music because they are too busy teaching them race-centered hatred of whites, of America and of America’s values. Sending your child(ren) to most American schools is playing Russian roulette with their values — but unlike the gun in Russian roulette, which has a bullet in only one of its six chambers, the schools’ guns hold four or five bullets.


In many elementary schools, your child is taught that gender is chosen and that there is no difference between boys and girls (in a growing number of schools, the teachers are told not to call their students “boys and girls”); they are taught about masturbation; and many children from first grade on attend “Drag Queen Story Hour,” wherein an obvious man wearing women’s clothing, garish makeup and a wig entertains them.


Given that all this is well-known, why do any nonleft — meaning, liberal or conservative — parents send their children to an American school? ….


The single best thing Americans can do to fight the left-wing destruction of the country is to withdraw from the “educational” system that is actively, deliberately miseducating them by the tens of millions. If millions of American parents did so, the country would turn around as fast as you could say “teachers unions.” If they don’t, their children will continue being used as guinea pigs in the left’s sick and dystopian experiment.

Critical Race Theory — BAD!

In CRT, people are classified by groups with little or no distinction between individuals. If one group underachieves, it’s the fault of the achievers; if one group is poor, it’s the fault of the wealthy. Remember, the goal is not to foster unity or common ground but to assign blame and ensure people will be put into categories so that tensions between the groups will be enflamed and maintained.

It’s Happening NOW

Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

For Whom Was Our Constitution Written?

Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Destroying and Revising History

The destruction of monuments is part of a larger attempt to destroy what it means to be an American. It’s an attempt to remove not just racism, but to discredit all else that was done by those who created our nation’s founding documents and established the foundational principles the led to making America what it is. In the minds of many people, America is so terrible the it cannot be fixed; it must be destroyed and rebuilt according to a radical socialist agenda that will be free of racism and free of capitalism, which they claim makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. They ignore the fact that capitalism has given countless people the opportunity create their own success—to the extent that those who live in America enjoy a higher standard of living than most, if not all, nations.

Guns Aren’t What’s Destroying This Country

What is destroying this country is not the prevalence of guns. It isn’t the police. It isn’t systemic racism. It isn’t poverty or income inequality. The problem is this country’s sick sexual culture, its marginalization of fathers and the corresponding destruction of the family. …We refuse to connect the dots, because doing so would mean admitting that the sexual revolution went off the rails. And that runs afoul of both those who make millions selling sex and those who need constant validation for their own behavior. As a result, the innocence, health and well-being of children has been sacrificed for adults’ sexual selfishness. It is no accident that girls see themselves increasingly as sexual objects or that fatherless young men, without adequate role models for healthy behaviors, fall into deeply destructive ones. Without stability, without security, without a proper sense of themselves, they seek validation in sexual conquest, belonging in gang membership, and excitement in drug use and violence.

Media and the Sexual Revolution

The mainstream media is the handmaiden of the sexual revolution. It will never, under any circumstances, expose the dark side of the same-sex movement—its commitment to unrestrained sexuality, its unnatural physical relationships, and the deep regret and confusion that exist among those who want to leave same-sex relationships or have had gender-reassignment surgery. This same media does not want to present the benefits of natural law and why the traditional family is to be preferred.

Common Sense and Science Capitulate to Marxism

When it comes to cultural Marxism, science, history, biology, and reason must be cast aside to maintain the current orthodoxies. Freedom of speech and diverse opinions are strictly forbidden—or else.

Capturing the Culture for Marx

Cultural Marxists seek to capture five cultural institutions: the social, political, educational, religious, and most importantly, familial life of a nation. And as we observe what is happening in our culture, we can say that they are succeeding in frightening ways—all in the name of progress.

America is Deep in Barbarism

From barbarism to civilization requires a century; from civilization to barbarism needs but a day.

The Homemaker Wife is Priceless

I think I can understand that feeling about a housewife’s work being like that of Sisyphus (who was the stone rolling gentleman). But it is surely, in reality, the most important work in the world. What do ships, railways, mines, cars, government etc exist for except that people may be fed, warmed, and safe in their own homes? As Dr Johnson said, ‘To be happy at home is the end of all human endeavour’. (1st to be happy, to prepare for being happy in our own real Home hereafter: 2nd, in the meantime, to be happy in our houses.) We wage war in order to have peace, we work in order to have leisure, we produce food in order to eat it. So your job is the one for which all others exist.”


C.S. Lewis, Letter to Mrs. Johnson on March 16, 1955

Biblical Marital Love

Biblical love is based on the spiritual relationship between a man and a woman before any relationship of the flesh. They who are spiritually joined together become one flesh that never separates. They who are attracted only by the physical appearance constantly live in the temptation of seeing someone else who many be more attractive. The possibility of steadfastness in a marriage that is based on looks and mere sexual satisfaction is very small indeed compared to the spiritual relationship based on agape, love that seeks not self-satisfaction primarily, but meeting the need of one’s partner. The satisfaction of meeting the need of another is far greater than the satisfaction of selfish procurement.

How Do You Treat the Human Body?

A society’s worldview ultimately determines whether it treats the human body as another piece of matter or whether it grants the body and dignity, imbuing sexual relations with the depth and significance we all long for.
