Social Conservatives Were Right All Along
Renew America ^ | July 28, 2015 | Tim Dunkin

Posted on 07/29/2015 1:39:52 PM PDT by Yashcheritsiy

The Good Book says, "...be sure your sin will find you out," and this is a lesson that the monsters at Planned Parenthood have been learning for the past three weeks. Caught on camera, these hideous harvesters of human life have been exposed to the whole world as the fiends they are, talking about "gentler" techniques for murdering babies so that they don't "crunch" the organs of tiny unborn children, so they can sell them for profits euphemistically disguised as "reimbursements." The fact that I could even write a sentence like that is definitive proof that America is infected with evil.

Q. What is the difference between Planned Parenthood and Jeffrey Dahmer?

A. Planned Parenthood has more freezer space.

True to form, rather than owning up to their exposure, the ghoulish purveyors of atrocity at Planned Parenthood are trying to spin it every which way they can, lying every which way they must. But nothing can change the fact that PP (which, if we're honest, really stands for "Parts Procurement") has been totally and completely outed as the Nazis they are. No longer can they hide behind euphemisms, or appeal to mammograms and other services as a cover for their primary business, which is the dismemberment of the defenseless. America has seen their ugly face in action, and now has a choice to make.

Thankfully, a few in positions to do so have made the right choice, belatedly perhaps, but at least it has been done. Megacorporations like Coca-Cola, Xerox, and Ford have all cut their ties with Planned Parenthood, while many other sponsors, when questioned, have tried to run away from association with that entity or have shifted the blame for financial support to their own employees, whose "charitable" donations they match. The list of those companies still associated may be found here, for any who are interested. Continued enquiries and other pressure may yet induce them to do the right thing.

Yet, many have also made the wrong choice, such as the Republican "leadership" in Washington, spearheaded by Mitch McConnell (PP-KY), who pointedly refused to allow consideration of amendments which would have finally defunded Planned Parenthood and removed it from the nipple of federal taxpayer monies. Amazingly, in what is probably the most favorable climate ever for doing so, the Republicans – the so-called "conservative" party – absolutely refused to do anything in the face of this hideousness.

Which ought to make you wonder what the point even is to voting for Republicans. After all, the argument has always been, "At least they're better than the Democrats, and you want to stop the Democrats' agenda, right?" That argument simply has no force anymore, since it is abundantly clear that the Republicans are as busy about pushing the Democrats' agenda as the Democrats themselves are.

But aside from the inhumanity of Planned Parenthood, this whole affair has served to demonstrate something else as well: Social conservatives were completely, absolutely, positively, and undeniably right in everything they said in their opposition to abortion.

We said that abortion was murder. That's abundantly obvious now to all but the most morally stunted. We said that abortion leads to a callousness toward human life. What could make this point more than selling off baby livers like they were a box of Cheerios on a grocery store shelf? We said that those involved with Planned Parenthood were ethical monsters on par with the Nazis. As it turns out, between Kermit Gosnell and Cecile Richards, we have seen that there can never be a credible appeal to Godwin's Law when you're talking about abortion providers.

But this isn't the only area where traditionalists and social conservatives have been shown to be completely correct.

Take the whole evolution of the gay agenda. First, conservatives warned that the movement to grant special rights to those who engage in homosexual behavior would lead to gay marriage. This was laughed at, nothing that extreme would ever happen, we were told. And then it happened. We then warned that gay "marriage" would lead to the loss of actual constitutional rights for those who didn't agree with it. Again, we were told that this wouldn't happen, it was just silly to be worried about it. And then florists and bakers started facing fines and the threat of imprisonment for refusing to service gay "weddings." We warned that gay "marriage" was just an excuse to allow the radical Left to attack churches and pastors, and we were told that this couldn't happen. And now we see churches being threatened and pastors being told they can't criticize homosexuality lest they suffer the consequences.

We were right all along. The gay agenda in its entirety has been nothing more than a decades-long plan to destroy the First Amendment in America. Gays already had the exact same rights as everyone else – the push was for a special set of "rights" that would allow them to legal infringe upon the freedom of everyone else. We warned that you can either have gay "rights" or constitutional liberties, but not both at the same time. We were right, completely and unequivocally.

We were correct when we warned about the breakdown of the marriage and the family in America. We said that the nuclear family was the glue that holds our social fabric in place. We cautioned that attacks on marriage, such as those represented by feminism and "no fault" divorce and biased "family courts" and the myopic welfare system, would lead to the undermining of our society. Conservative theorists like Charles Murray and William Bennett counseled America to exercise self-control and restraint. And yet America refused to listen.

Now it ought to be apparent to all that our warnings were well-founded. Our inner cities are in shambles. The cause is not "poverty" or "racism" or "white privilege." The cause is the destruction of the nuclear family among inner city residents. Single mothers cannot nearly or as easily or as effectively provide the balanced upbringing that turn children into stable, well-rounded citizens. And when you have "baby-daddies" instead of real men who take responsibility and raise their children, you will see young men seeking affirmation and guidance elsewhere – such as from gangs or radical cults like the Nation of Islam. This rot is working its way outward into the suburbs and the rural areas as the social disdain for marriage makes its way from one type of housing project to the other.

There are two questions that everyone ought to ask themselves. The first is, "What else have the social conservatives been right about?" The answer, based on the track record of successful prediction to date, most likely is, "Just about everything." The second question, then, becomes, "Shouldn't we start listening to what these social conservatives are saying?" The correct answer here is, "Of course." But it remains to be seen whether this will be the actual answer given by many Americans. As the Planned Parenthood debacle shows, there are still huge numbers of Americans who are more than willing to bury their heads in the sand for the sake of their unsupportable and indefensible left-wing political positions. Hopefully, however, Planned Parenthood and other "progressive" excesses will wake up enough of the low-information types in this country to sustain a serious assault against the left-wing social agenda which has been imposed onto us against the wishes of the actual majority of the people of this nation.

I’m amazed at the media coverage of the lion hunted in Zimbabwe. The media are more agahst and outraged about a single hunter who may have violated hunting and game regulations in Zimbabwe, and killed a single lion, than they are about the gruesome activities of Planned Parenthood.

the gruesome activities of Planned Parenthood
_____________________________________________________

...maybe because if their names are listed or become public, and as upset as the American people are right now, and because Planned Parenthood hired a firm to keep the MSM quiet, they would get kicked out of the United States....

That’s nothing. A freak accident that killed a baby giraffe at the Dallas Zoo consumed something like 40% of the news time this morning. Again, this was an unavoidable accident, and yet, it pushed out any mention of the baby parts merchants.

The sky has parted and the real reason behind the consistent push for “late-term” abortions has been clarified for all to see.

Well, of course they are. There is only one lion of Zimbabwe. There are millions of dead babies.

Wow. A baby giraffe is killed in an accident, and it’s huge news.

But the Planned Parenthood story is pushed to the end, if reported on at all in the MSM.

Media bias is not only about how many news people are liberal and give liberal slant to their stories. The bias is also about which stories they push, and which ones they ignore.

Off topic, but Trayvon Martin did not become national news until a month after that shooting happened. It became national news because black activists pushed the story, were given sympathetic coverage by people such as Al Sharpton on his show, and then eventually the mainstream media nationwide picked it up. What was a one day local story in Sanford Florida was pushed and pushed until it was deemed to be a national story.

And then from there, the Florida governor appointed a special prosecutor to indict Zimmerman. The local DA had closed the case. But due to media pressures, it was reopened.

It’s about the narrative.

The (white) hunter killing a lion advances the Progressive agenda, resulting in wall-to-wall media coverage.

The Planned Parenthood debacle, on the other hand, poses great danger to the greatest liberal sacrament, abortion. Therefore the story must be strangled in the crib.

Public education is the problem, whether schools, universities, mass media, or advertising.

If you ain’t socon, you ain’t nocon.

Unfortunately, simply being right isn’t enough. It’s long past time to make our stand.

Republican candidates who don’t actively stand in the gap for social issues now should be shunned. There is no point in voting for candidates who contribute to the problem.

Yes, the media is complicit in dumbing down America. Take the impeachment trial of WJC in the 90s and all he had to do was feign a foreign threat, send a couple cruise missiles aloft and everybody’s attention was elsewhere. So, now we have the lion’s death at the hands of an American dentist. Meanwhile our country...all of us...have the deaths of 60 million aborted babies on our hands to face our Creator. We are ALL tainted by this, we will all have to answer for what we did or didn’t do to stop it.

Right’s have been foisted upon us for years now. Sounds good and we simply are day by day programed to believe ... “if it feels good ... DO IT!” With little or no exceptions.

God help us ... we are brain washed and do not realize it.

Morals are important to society, and are God given.

The evil one is in charge of much of this world we and allow it to the doom of our nation and our society.

Is God pleased???

It’s intended as a distraction, as are any number of
other “Big Stories” alas it serves as a diagnostic
