Mr. French is right. We must stand and fight. We must not abandon our iconic cultural institutions to the left. We have often done just that.

Yes I am, but what has that to do with this thread? Not italicizing the news sites?

Cultural Conservatives Have Barely Begun to Fight

And that's the problem in a nutshell.

The term “marriage” is the hook, to pull at the heart strings of the uninformed. The true discussion has to do with “rights” that are only afforded to heterosexual couples. If two homosexuals want to file jointly, or have the ability to make “life” decisions concerning their other half, so be it. Man made law can address these issues but can’t redefine Gods. Equality in man made law is just, however, man made law shall not infringe on Gods law, which is also just.
A floor, walls and a roof not make a church, but a heart is where it flourishes.

The author is wrong. At a certain point, Lot had to make the dhoice to follow God and leave the denizens of sodom and gomorrah to their fate. In the final analysis we really can’t make pigs sing or be righteous or do anything else other than be pigs. It is not our job as Christians to push the issue with those who are pathologically opposed to us and what we believe.

Its long past time for American Christians to build our own civil society.

You are absolutely right. My wife and I talked about this tonight. The Republican party cannot protect Christians any more. What good is it? If the Supreme Court rules that states cannot define marriage as they see fit, then it’s over. At that point, there is only one way left to vote...not Democrat....not Republican....but with one’s feet.

There is a profound need to master and conquer “sexual fundamentalism”

There are no verses on homosexuality or heterosexuality.

God said if you want to have sex— have it with one person of the opposite sex.

It was and remains the ultimate gold standards diversity— understanding, living, accepting that opposite sex.

Same sex marriage is a sham intended to bolster our worst bigotries centered around sexism. We love ourselves. What better way to institutionalize our self love than same sex marriage.

We must reject the sexuality labeling and promote labels of male and female.

Too much time sitting around waiting for conservative candidates to win for us and not enough time on the battlefield.

Bingo. To which I might add the corollary war cry of the RINOcrat nemesis: "He can win."

We've got to give when we can, volunteer, make phone calls, knock on doors, make graphics etc. The more free help we give, the more money the candidate can spend on campaigning.

FReepers, in your opinion, what will be the trigger event for a sixth Great Awakening in the USA?

Here is mine: Ophonybama and his LIEberal hangers-on will continue their overreach. Once pissed off, the American people will stay pissed off until LIEberalism is thoroughly discredited and relegated to the dust bin of History. May take a few years.

“Cultural Conservatives should have been fighting all along...”

The left managed to paint themselves as the aggressors now we must paint the left for what they really are, Intolerant fascist to the point of distorting the lives of people who merely refuses to tow their line.

We do this effectively and we will drive the fascist left back into their intolerant box for anther generation because we will highlight the hypocritical lie that is modern ‘liberalism’.

The Left is getting more secular and pro-government every day. We need to start punching back twice as hard. Calling them on their lies and falsehoods. Note that the media constantly paints Christians in the worst like from television shows, movies and news reports. Libraries have ‘Banned Book Week’ which usually targets some Christian parent(s) objecting to a sexed up book being spoonfed to their kids by the local government school. They’re in our minds all day long. Time to fight back is way past.

No politician is going to win this ‘war’. They’re going to simply reflect the mushy middle that elects them. We need to turn that mushy middle around with love and logic.
