When only one side is fighting, the outcome is obvious
“What explains the rout in Indianapolis? The GOP simply cannot stand up to media denunciations as intolerant bigots, especially if the corporations upon which they depend threaten economic reprisals. “
The GOP is currently 100% CONTROLLED by money.
From Psalm 146
So. We are to spend our money on Christian businesses, as nearly exclusively as possible.
OK
bttt
It would be voluntary, but if you want to thank God for not being the devil that’s one way to do it!
Like Santa Anna at the Alamo,the left is sounding the deguello-— no quarter. Christians,conservatives,and all other decent Americans are surrounded by a hostile culture. We must fight back against evil no matter the seemingly desperate odds.
Bringing God back into the picture, into your picture, is the only way to beat evil. No worldly method works; none.
Seems Republican leadership is retreating, but conservative citizens are not.
It’s why I’m no longer a republican. They are not my party. Haven’t been for going on ten years.
Years ago I used to spend a lot of life fighting in the culture war. I spent most of my time on another site. I once organized an inter-state meeting with various speakers and in which I spoke on the problem of the homosexual agenda. I was eventually prohibited from posting my views on that other supposedly conservative site.
In recent years I have spent much less time in the fight, mostly because I think that the war has been lost. I haven’t changed my views. I once said that I expected to go to jail during my lifetime for my views and that, indeed, I intended to. I still believe that and I still intend to. But I believe that my energies are now better spent in other areas.
I believe that the biggest problem in the loss of the culture war wasn’t the activists on the Left, but those on the Right who never understood that there was a war going on, or who were embarrassed by conservatives, or who were in reality (ahem) moderates hoping to secretly hinder the actions of conservatives until times changed enough and they could eventually reveal their more liberal views. For many, by the time that they realized or admitted to themselves that there was a war going on, the war was already over.
I used to say “They are coming.” It has been obvious for several years that they are now here.
Beware of those who want our votes but not our values.
I agree. Without Jesus,we can do nothing.
That can mean a number of things. It can mean how you register in regions that have closed primaries. It can mean that you do not boost the party qua the party on principle. It can mean that you want to spite the party if the candidate it puts forth is insufficiently perfect even if the competition is worse.
This sounds exactly like the path the Muslims take when working to infiltrate a country. Secondly, I have told some that this will be a 40 year slog. It has been that long for the abortion debate but some victories are now coming. Plus, to be honest these issues have been voted on and defeated but corrupt government has allowed the issues to be overturned. It is not totally the church just rolling over for dead. Yes, many have turned from the faith, but the politicians have also turned from following the Constitution. All this has put Christians in a perilous position.
I think we ought to say that we can’t expect to win it by worldly methods. Society is too blase now to get inspiration through secular politicking.
This never surprised God. God sets up desperation situations sometimes to get people to call upon Him in earnest, which is never totally in vain though He may wait to answer.
You might go to a physical jail or you might just end up being in a lot of people’s doghouses. Don’t be vain about the actual circumstances. It counts for the Lord in both cases.
One of Claire Wolfe’s 101 things to do before the revolution:
Don’t vote. It only encourages them.
;-)
I try not to plan things out of spite... it just paints me into a foolish looking corner.
We can’t hate like liberals hate, and we shouldn’t try to outhate them unless we really want to enter a Satan look alike contest.
Our ace is that liberals can’t love like we can — through folding the spirit of God into the situation.
I’m reminded of a sticker that a popular humor magazine had in one of its special issues back in the 70’s:”Vote! It won’t do any good,but vote!” I still vote,but its getting harder to convince myself to do so.
