I picked up the Robertson’s “Duck The Halls” Christmas album yesterday. Currently #4 on the Billboard charts. I highly recommend it to those who are not easily “offended” by Jesus, Christmas and Christianity. Great family Christmas album. Those folks can sing. Especially Missy Robertson.

Yes, praying these two pathetic incidents are waking the pro family value silent majority up.

All the people, companies, and orgs. involved in castigating Phil were sure that all his fans, friends, and family would throw Phil to the wolves in exchange for money and entertainment.
Probably because their own fans, friends, and family would in a similar situation.

Bingo! Projection is the kneejerk of the Reactionary Regressive Left.

The lesson I took away is that there is a greater hand directing and the nature of, and response to, the Chick-fil-A and Phil Robertson comments controversies, as well as the upside down current state of our society, supports this theory and related speculations regarding our place in the story we were born into.

Some say these are interesting times; some say these are prophetic times. And I say they're right! Yogi Berra said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

Unfortunately for US, these days the demonrats and GOPe/republicans notoriously will take the wrong turn at every opportunity, as they each have made a worldly choice in the greater story and are out of step with the lessons at hand.

No doubt you're right and they never gave a second thought about it until people spoke up and said that's enough.

The silent majority is eager to support anyone who does this, with their wallets.

there’ll be a same sex marriage in the Rose Parade.

I'd hate for a hundred little drones to fly over the float and drop liquefied manure on the 'ceremony'.

Watson needs more than a cyber-stomping and he’s fortunate he’s not in a prison cell somewhere in the world.

They were too busy with Kwanzaa.

I picked up a copy of the New Testament to see what Jesus Christ or any of the disciples had to say about gay men and women. Incredibly I discovered that they never said anything at all about homosexuality.

Must have NOT considered St. Paul to be a 'disciple'.


Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.



2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

... overpaid consultants from the last two failed presidential bids will be trying to score jobs. A bit of free advice here: Don't hire them! In fact if they have Romney or McCain on their resume, see what else they have on there before assuming they have anything to offer. For if the modern consultant can't recognize the benefit of tapping into a voting block that caused a fast food franchise to run out of food coast to coast in a single day, or don't see the benefit of attracting the audience of a show that weekly draws 12 million viewers (especially since the difference in 2012 was around 4 million votes,) then their advice is not something I'm sure would be all that insightful.

Seems Kevin McCullough 'gets it'... traditional Americans are a force to be reckoned with...

The gist of the Kevin McCullough column is that traditional values voters have far more clout than they realize. The leftmedia always give activist groups that promote homosexuality and legalizing same-sex 'marriage' lots of positive attention so many Americans just assume those people are the majority. They are not. Hollywood and Manhattan are not America, just a part of it with more influence in the media than, say, Ohio or Nebraska. Sexual deviance and promiscuity are not American values.

When Christian people speak out, not to proselytize but to object to what the bible calls immorality and sin, they have millions of like-minded supporters. I noticed that many people who posted on Yahoo and other mass market internet sites claimed they disagreed with Phil Robinson (or Dan Cathy of Chick-Fil-A during that brouhaha in 2012) but were incensed that gay activist groups were attacking them. These were not bible-thumpers but people that saw unfairness and intolerance from gay groups and objected to it. I believe the GLAAD attacks have hurt their 'cause. Many Americans are expressing disgust at their bullying tactics, even as they beg for 'tolerance' and acceptance. Can we spell hypocrite?

A hundred drones dropping foul fluids on the Rose Parade?

Why the hell not?

Isn’t it well past time for creative civil disobedience? If you can’t bring yourself to righteous violence (yet) then what is wrong with making another sort of statement?

A squadron of radio-controlled planes could make a statement just by towing banners. At worst you lose the plane. At best you make every news broadcast on the planet while embarrassing some people who RICHLY deserve it!

Time to start thinking like the Sons of Liberty.
