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
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.
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 don’t know whether to say, “Bravo” or “Who am I to judge”?
Easy. In the immediate aftermath of WWII, say 30 years, the generation that fought it regarded that great convulsion as: The Worst That Could Happen, while anything else was a tempest in a teapot. How excited do you get about little nibbles at the culture when you've been to the biggest show in the history of the world and you've had about all you could stand of slaughter, butchery and sheer barbarism on an industrial scale?
