Fed boys posting to see what we will write. Good try.

Flight’s no option. Ain’t no other place left to go.

Or would want to go.

Perhaps the actual choice is, "Fight or sit on your hands." (no pun intended); AKA. fight or go passive.

As Justice Scalia suggested, it is time to invite our chosen and future members of the political opposition to stand up and seriously join the battle.

Possible outcomes:

  1. Do nothing and continue slouching towards Gomorrah ( most likely)
  2. Art 5 CoS
  3. Secession
  4. Pentagon interdiction and coup d'etat.
  5. Open Civil war between US regions

sit on your hands

That's the route a couple of conservative talk show hosts recently took. Dennis Miller and Jason Lewis.

Dennis was always preaching about dropping out and that the country was gone. And he did.

Jason staged a dramatic on-air resignation (like Bilbo at his eleventy-first birthday party) and just walked off, never to be heard from again, after talkng for months about pulling a John Galt.

Like Pressed Rat and Warthog ("went straight round the corner and never came back").

No we aren’t. It seems uncomfortably more like the 1930’s...

The RINOs are Weimar. Obama and the libs are the Nazis.

It is a myth that "Demographics are destiny."

Demographics are PRETENSE. Demographics are a pretense to pre-apply a template of predicted behavior and morals that exclude individual actions and are instead based solely on a shared demographic such as race, religion, or lifestyle. Demographics are the pretense used to divide and conquer people who are in all other ways generally united. Morality by its very nature transcends demographics.

Demographics are pretense.

Morality is destiny.

Reminds me of one passage from that old Steelers Wheel song:

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Thanks for weighing in. At least we know you are still breathing fire.

One way to protest this is to apply for a marriage license to marry your child. When it’s rejected you point out that the law doesn’t say anything about homosexuality. It’s about SAME sex marriages. Two people of the same sex can get married. Or does it even specifically say “people”. Let a man try to marry his male dog.

Then there’s always the attempt to get married in a mosque.

Well, the ONE thing that should lend some optimism is demographics. These people, almost by definition, are not reproducing. Don’t give up! Take heart, and challenge the culture of death wherever you encounter it!

I hear ya. And thank you. While the demographics are trending the other way and even young white kids are none Church goers and trending Left ... hope is indeed a good thing.

Thank you.

The cowardly or complicit Pope Francis is the first one in giving in to “go with the flow” and criticizing orthodox Christians for “judging.” This makes it doubly hard for orthodox Catholics.

The problem with flight...which would be my option...is that there’s no place to go. And now, with modern data collection techniques, you couldn’t get away anyway and you’re already on their enemies list. So forget running away.

As for fighting, you don’t have to do anything. The fight will come to you, no matter how small and unimportant you think you are. The way that dictatorships or even things like ISIS take over is not just by going after the leadership, but by going after somebody who thought he was too unimportant to even be considered opposition.

I doubt that most of us posters here are important in worldly terms...I certainly am not. But that doesn’t matter, so brace yourselves, folks.

The other related problem is that most people have committed sexual sins, which they regret, so they feel like hypocrites when upholding sexual morality.

******************************************

When the Left, Dems or whoever criticizes Christians for not accepting homosexuality by saying “well, there are other sins ... adultery, stealing, etc. ... why don’t you have the same attitude toward those sins?” I have yet to see very many people explain the ‘difference’ .... homosexuals, through an act of their own vermiculate will, identify their persons with a sin and demand acceptance not of the person, but of the sin-bound and sin-defined person. They demand the declaration of spiritual authority that there is nothing objectively disordered about this binding of man to sin, and assurance that this monstrous amalgam can indeed enter the kingdom of heaven. This can never happen among Christians until they abandon Christianity, which is at war with every sin.

I don’t know, Panama is looking pretty good. Beaches on both sides of the country. Ranked yesterday as one of the best places to live (US was 23rd).
And they have a fruit drink called a “Bed Wrecker”!

“If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints.”

Revelation 13:9 & 10

Live in captivity and then be freed by the Messiah and be blessed to spend the rest of your many days under His rule of iron, or die and return to rule with Him. Just don’t get that Mark of the Beast. Persevere...
