Americans Must Never Throw in the Towel

As we survey our rotting cultural and political landscape, it is tempting, from a worldly perspective, to lose hope for our way of life and our nation. As Christians, we have a greater Hope, one that transcends these worldly problems.

We must always train our focus on Jesus Christ, especially during this holiest of weeks, but let's not in the meantime abandon our earthly duties -- our responsibilities to family, friends, country and values.

While we must guard against making politics and patriotism our idols, we don't have to accept the notion that worshiping God requires neglecting what is true, great and good in our earthly lives. A spiritual war is raging before our eyes, and we must suit up against it -- unless our lives on this side of eternity are utterly pointless. I'll never believe God placed us on Earth to be indifferent to life here, to surrender the reins to forces of evil because a better world awaits us. Our Founding Fathers certainly didn't believe that either.

But to properly and competently fight for our values, we must do more than just mouth the observation that we're in a spiritual war. We must embrace it in our very souls, because it is true as any concrete reality we can verify with our five senses. We must embrace it because we are going to need other-worldly courage to face the whirlwind forces of evil and untruth that have possessed our culture; that have brainwashed half our nation; and that threaten to finally destroy America as we know and love it, and as it was founded -- a land of unsurpassed religious and political liberty.

Warriors of evil are cleverly disguised as warriors for truth, justice, harmony and love, their immoral causes masked as noble. They stir unrest and provoke disharmony in our society in the name of peace and unity. They actively sour race and gender relations while pretending to heal us. They promote hate in the cause of eradicating it. And they silence and suppress all opposing views and "unwoke" behavior in their self-appointed yet deceitful role as guardians of an enlightened culture.

These forces have monopolistic control over our cultural, academic and social media institutions, and competing views are not just censored but actively demonized. Their sociopolitical message is monolithic and permits no dissent. Our universities are indoctrination factories, and Hollywood is a propaganda machine for the leftist worldview. The social media oligarchy actively promotes that worldview and attempts to erase any competing ideas it perceives as a threat to its message.

Just when you think things couldn't get crazier, you read that teachers from San Diego Unified School District are now allowed to teach migrant children from Central America in person in the classroom while denying American children that privilege. And that students and faculty at the University of Vermont's College of Education and Social Services targeted Dr. Aaron Kindsvatter, a counseling professor, for posting a video lamenting the growth of what he describes as a dangerous and discriminatory ideology that blames society's ills on "whiteness."

The prevailing narrative spewing from our toxic cultural spigots is that America is systemically racist, that the concept of racial colorblindness as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned is a tool to further "white supremacy," and that all members of certain races are irredeemably racist, irrespective of their individual hearts and conduct. Conveniently, the proposed solutions for these problems are perpetual, unquenchable acts of atonement and radical redistributions of wealth through a transformation of our capitalistic system into a central planner's dream.

Even certain promising politicians disappoint -- those you trust will fight back against such noxious ideas as allowing biological men identifying as women to destroy women's athletics and the hopes and dreams of women athletes to accommodate woke culture's demand that one's right to identify as a certain sex must trump everything, no matter the personal and societal causalities.

At a time when the integrity of our electoral system is under dire threat from undemocratic forces, self-styled champions of "democracy" press for federal legislation to unconstitutionally impose uniform rules on the states that would forever compromise our democratic processes and election integrity. The level of deceit, here as in so many other areas, is staggering.

Isn't it sobering and surreal that we even have a debate over whether we have a right -- and duty -- to protect our borders against invasion from migrants, traffickers and cartels? That we have powerful people arguing that the border enforcement officials and the police need to be defunded?

Meanwhile, our political class has become the chief enemy of fiscal sanity and economic reality. Washington menaces are proposing multitrillion-dollar programs with Monopoly money and imperiling our kids' financial future to allegedly stimulate an economy they are forcefully smothering with their draconian lockdown rules.

If all this weren't bad enough and incontrovertible evidence of this nation's death wish, we see half of our society glorifying the killing of unborn babies, and we witness rapper Lil Nas X's "Satan Shoes" being sold out in less than a minute precisely because of, not despite, their satanic imagery.

Let us worship God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. But let's not abdicate our duty to fight those who would usher in hell on Earth.

I’m so thankful David Limbaugh has stepped into the appalling theater created by a corrupt church that would gaslight Christians into the lie that we are meant to turn our backs on earthly matters (other than the ones deemed legitimate) by cowed spiritual “leaders”.

Limbaugh writes with a simple but elegant style and I wish he would raise his voice more often.

Let me start by saying I am 70 years old. Yesterday while shopping at Wal-Mart I was pushing my cart down an isle and passed a young white girl. Her black boyfriend about 18 - 19 years old said, “You looking at my girlfriend?” in a smart tone of voice. I replied that “I did notice her shoes, but if you can’t take other men looking at your girlfriend you need to find an ugly girlfriend.” He was stunned that I actually didn’t back down. He said some more crap and I replied back at him letting him know that I was not backing down or afraid of him. His mom comes over and says ignore him. We exchanged some more words and he says, “If I had a gun I’d shoot you right in your head.” All the while he was backing up away from me. I said no you wouldn’t because you’re a coward and I’d take it from you and kick your ass. Part if me wanted him to step and and claim his prize which is what I said to him before he started backing up. We have to stand our ground, this 70 year old man would have kicked his F’ing ass.

But we DON’T have “other-worldly courage” and we don’t have this-worldly courage either. Or someone would be fighting back by now, and I do mean fighting. It has been demonstrated convincingly that voting doesn’t work. Only tax rebellion and physical fighting can have any effect on what we’re up against and there isn’t the slightest indication that we in significant numbers will ever, ever practice either method.

We can watch 60 million babies be legally slaughtered. We can stand a few feet away while a criminal beats an old woman on the street. We can shut up after a presidential election is hijacked and the borders are thrown open to all comers. What we can’t do is personally break the law. Any law. Because we’ll be prosecuted. We are good Germans. We are very good Germans.

I've noticed lots of young white women have black boyfriends. I think these days it is a status symbol, because black is cool and white is ugly and evil. And it is only getting worse.

I truly believe someday there will be a "white tax" and all manner of Jim Crow laws in reverse. Systemic racism against whites started decades ago, but it is accelerating at a rapid pace now. Almost daily some new insult comes our way.

I remember in the 1980s and 1990s how frustrated I was trying to get college grants and scholarships but wasn't eligible to apply for many because I was a white male. I can't imagine what it must be like today.

I’ve noticed lots of young white women have black boyfriends.

Unlike young black women who realize that 80% of those young black men have had trouble with the law or have been incarcerated for a serious crime, the stupid while girls have no clue what they have just bought into.

We are the fattest, most passively entertained and least used to sustained physical labor of any nation in human experience.

Human nature and history seem to indicate that as long as these unprecedented conditions prevail, people aren’t really going to get too upset about any enormity. I think many are going to be simply amazed at what will be tolerated as long as people are fat, entertained, and comfortable as it happens.

Same here: I didn’t get a single student loan and paid for law school out of pocket and with a loan my parents got, because I was living at home to save money. Now, that meant I came out of law school with $5K in debt when my classmates took 20 years to pay off their loans. So as irritating and unfair as it seemed at the time, it worked out in my favor.

I just focus on my soul and family now. I just don’t care anymore. And I am old and wise enough to know what it will take to restore a constitutional republic. And it ain”t pretty. The barbarians are in the gates and well funded.
