April 28, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) Catastrophe brings reflection. What is most precious to me? What have I taken for granted?
And ideally, the number one issue, am I following Gods will for my life?
I share some nostalgia for the way things were. Churches and vacation Bible schools packed with families and children. Holiday parties where people dont hesitate to hug each other. Birthdays at noisy, fun restaurants with friends and family. Plane trips where the main worry is making your connection.
But is all Americas recent past worth recapturing? If were revising life-as-usual, maybe we have a chance to construct a normal thats not just new, but vastly better.
Heres my list of suggested changes: SUBSCRIBE to LifeSite's daily headlines U.S. Canada World Catholic
1. Let the tender hearts of parents turn to children and stay there. As we gathered our little ones close during the shutdown, we witnessed how these innocent lives depend on caring adults. Going forward, can we keep each childs unfolding future as a daily top priority? Will we stand up and shield them if needed?
Will we teach them diligently about Jesus, protecting their bodies, minds and spirits from deception?
Child corruption and destruction waits at every turn in America unless fathers and mothers stand in the gap for the next generation.
2. Lets leave abortion in the dustbin of tragic history. The good news about the COVID-19 scare is that many saw abortion for what it is a non-essential procedure some states tried to limit or stop. Courts blocked those decisions in some cases, but thankfully, not all. Yet the quarantine lowered abortion client volume and a number of clinics around the country closed (New York, for instance).
Yet now Planned Parenthood and other abortionists are ramping up home abortions, even using marginal tele-medicine, since women are not visiting clinics at the desired volume. The abortion industry never quits.
But America could just decide, enough is enough. Cant we close them all? While were hand-wringing over saving lives, lets spare a few tears for the children America has been legally killing for four decades and then repent and destroy no more children through choice.
3. Lets end pride in sodomy. The rainbow rebellion corrupting America in our streets, in schools, on social media, in entertainment, and in our compromised churches needs to end.
Providentially, many LGBT pride events this year have been cancelled (the giant New York parade among them). Others are postponed. Praise God that this year, fewer confused men and women and vulnerable adolescents -- will be propelled into depraved temptations during these phony celebrations.
Can we just declare the LGBT agenda to be irrelevant to the reality of human existence? That these are self-indulgent delusions that always and irrevocably corrupt the society at large?
And the proud march toward gender mutilation must come to a halt, including divisive, destructive school policies that pit confused, indoctrinated children against their parents, like the following California Department of Education guidance: With rare exceptions, schools are required to respect the limitations that a student places on the disclosure of their transgender status, including not sharing that information with the students parents.
So heres whats happening. Students are pressured incessantly at many schools to accept LGBT behavior and the most vulnerable, unstable students flirt with these identities at school. Then school officials maintain a secret pact with students to withhold information from the family about a childs high-risk inclinations. Too many teens are then advised by misguided counselors to become chemically and surgically mutilated even without their parents consent.
This violates every principle of Gods divine design, protection and provision for children. Its easily malpractice and should be criminal conduct, but unless we stop the trans war against reality, similar policies will invade every states education bureaucracy. Wont parents just stand up and end this child-endangerment?
Lets free the slaves in our schools students trapped in the nightmare of insane LGBTQ propaganda.
4. Lets aim for a porn-free society. The damage from online X-rated obscenity is impossible to calculate. Its destroying relationships, enabling child abuse and sex trafficking, possessing the minds of adolescent boys and men, and causing an uptick in violence against women and children. Why does America tolerate this scourge?
For example, Pornhub distributes billions of images yet remains largely unaccountable, even after being implicated in distributing rape videos of real-life victims. We must act and put an end to this, now.
5. Lets stop the sex-ed cartel. When your child sits in a sex education class in middle or high school, sometimes the content is beyond jaw-dropping. Its XXX-rated, with radical instructors teaching your son or daughter how to switch genders, engage safely in anal or oral sex with boys or girls, or get an abortion. They are taught the biology of pleasure and how to give affirmative consent to sex, even if they are underage.
This is comprehensive sex education (CSE). You do not want your child in these trashy, high-risk classrooms. But when school resumes, many of your kids will be unless parents scream bloody murder, as they should.
But the problem goes beyond what is taught on site, and puts children and teens at risk right now if they access the obscene recommended online resources CSE programs provide your son or daughter. What these radicals count on is parents and school boards who dont look too closely. (See examples of websites for adolescents recommended by SIECUS, Planned Parenthood, Advocates for Youth and others as part of harmful CSE in our schools WARNING, links lead to problematic material here, here, here, here, here, and here. Planned Parenthood Consent video here. And, how you, parents, can become a sex positive family here).
Who are the radicals teaching this garbage to your kids? Lets take a look. SIECUS recommends this article, Why These Sexual Health Educators Took Their Activism Online, and heres the wisdom from one contributor:
I talk about sex toys, I talk about kink, she said. And I try to really normalize and approach all of that with curiosity and excitement. Bloom also hosts a YouTube series for kids, Sex-ed School, which has episodes on consent, gender identity, sexual orientation, and masturbation.
People like this should never get an audience with children, period.
So, should we go back to normal? Or something far better?
Lets create a new and better America, one that respects and protects children, promotes stable families and honors God.
No, what would push the reset button would be for RBG to croak.
Hmm. Reset on Cultural depravity
I wonder if thats why Im detecting increased Intensity in anti trump hate And ignorance. I mean that demon will not go quietly.
No chance. Will get worse because we are now a socialist economy.
Historically there is a lot of precedent for this crisis to bring on a SocialDemocrat sweep in November followed quickly by a Climate Emergency declaration and a rapid decline into Venezuelatude. We would quickly be unable to maintain our military and would lose control of the sea lanes and trade.
The Climate Emergency is the only one that counts. The following ones will be cases of beating a dead and mangled horse with an ever limper flail.
Buzz killer. ;)
Not only that, but like Russia we would lose access to warm water ports.
I hear that's a bad thing.
The cycles of history used to be between good times and hard times. Now the cycles are between depression and anxiety.
Bump
I think it is too late for conservatives to perform some sort of "march through the institutions" a la the Frankfurt School. But we can set up parallel institutions like home schools and faith-based on-line curricula. These could help to breed a generation of children not brainwashed by Marxists and post-modernists.
Worse is losing access to our own many warm water ports.
what do you think?
what you said
I'm pretty sure all the porn will now be required to include another disclaimer, that it was shot before or after the Coronavirus outbreak.
the reset is about 6&1/2 lbs pull
Reset button on porn? I thought it was called rewind.
LOL!!!
