It was with disappointment but not surprise that I read the news about the standing ovation that openly homosexual Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel received at the Republican national convention. Its being spun by some conservatives as merely appreciation for Thiel breaking ranks with the Trump bashers of Silicon Valley, but in fact theres a serious problem of moral compromise on the homosexual issue in the GOP and we need to face it for what it is.
Ronald Reagan was not a perfect man, but he was a great man and an outstanding leader whose presidency marked the high point of conservatism in the latter half in the 20th century. In 1983 President Reagan did two things that exemplify the battle of left and right ideologies that still define the culture war: On February 3rd of that year, in a message to the National Prayer Breakfast, he declared 1983 to be The Year of the Bible, and one month later in a speech to the National Association of Evangelicals, he declared the Communist Soviet Union to be an Evil Empire. In that latter address he contrasted Americas Judeo-Christian heritage with the Atheism of the Soviets, explaining that this contrast was at the heart of the conflict between the US and USSR.
In 1980 Candidate Reagan rode a wave of populist conservatism into the White House, in defiance of the GOP establishment, which was forced to settle for getting their man George Herbert Walker read my lips Bush in the VP slot. They bided their time and once Reagan was termed out they went back to steering the ship of state toward the New World Order with Mr. Bush, the former CIA spymaster, at the helm.
But President Reagan had been so effective at articulating conservative values, and so courageous in pushing back against his Cultural Marxist opponents in media, academia and government, that America experienced a massive spiritual, cultural and patriotic revival during the 1980s whose influence lingers even today.
So powerful was Reagans impact on the GOP, that the hands of elitists Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain and Romney were publicly tied on the homosexual issue, though the GOP brass kept advancing the gay cause behind the scenes. And so powerful was the revival of moral values of the Reagan Revolution on the culture at large, that its taken more than a quarter century, millions of hours of pop-culture propaganda, the complete takeover of the US public education system, and the blatant hijacking of the federal judiciary for the Cultural Marxists to undo it.
Reagans power did not come from the Party, it came from his Biblical values. And his conservatism was not measured by how many feet it walked behind liberalism on the path to globalism. What he fought to conserve was the authentic Christian worldview of the Founding Fathers as embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. He did not accept the Marxist Tide of History lie, but pushed boldly in the opposite direction, advancing the Kingdom of God in world affairs and reclaiming lost territory in the domestic culture war. Under Reagan, American Exceptionalism was real, and not just a neo-con euphemism for bullying the world.
Ronald Reagan would never have allowed Peter Thiel to use the GOP stage to legitimize homosexuality, nor would the populist conservatives of the Reagan Revolution have ever applauded it.
Reagan knew that true conservatism is absolutely incompatible with the gay agenda. The two are as contradictory in principle and practice as marital fidelity and adultery. Every plank of its platform rests on the foundation of the Bible, from private property, to national identity and security, to personal freedom, to law and order: Conservatism stands for the truth of God or it stands for nothing. And the truth of God is clearer on the danger of legitimizing sexual deviance, especially homosexuality, than on any other social policy. It was the Reagan-era Supreme Court that affirmed the right of states to criminalize homosexual sodomy in Bowers v Hardwick (1986) a decision vigorously defended by Reagan appointee Antonin Scalia, his closest ideological ally on the court.
Ronald Reagan reminded America that our enemy was Marxism, that the root of its evil was godlessness, and that its goal was the total elimination of Judeo-Christian civilization. To quote The Communist Manifesto of Marx and Engles directly, Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.
The primary tactic of Marxists is syncretism, meaning the blending of two opposing views into a compromised view thats always one step closer to Marxist goals. Its called the Marxist Dialectic, and was taught to Soviet schoolchildren with a little dance: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back Net Gain One Step. In other words: Demand a radical leftward change of policy and then compromise with the conservatives so that you get only part of what you demanded, but still move forward toward your goal. That strategy is detailed in astonishingly forthright terms in the must-read LGBT Manifesto, The Overhauling of Straight America. http://library.gayhomeland.org/0018/EN/EN_Overhauling_Straight.htm
Sadly post-Reagan Republicans have proven to be endlessly gullible and susceptible to this strategy.
Nowhere has this been more obvious than at Rupert Murdochs Fox News Network. In 1996 Fox designated itself as the guardian of the conservative hen house and heir to the Reagan legacy, launching what began as a genuinely conservative news network. Over time, however, Fox became merely an arm of the GOP. As Republican elites increasingly capitulated to the Marxist Tide of History, especially on LGBT issues, Fox continuously adjusted its personnel and programming to reflect the compromises and make them palatable to the masses.
On behalf of the GOP establishment Fox has led the way in normalizing the myth of the gay conservative, and other conservative media outlets have followed suit, such as Breitbart with its openly gay, spotlight-hungry representative Milo. But like the truth of the Bible, true conservatism doesnt change with the times. If it abandons its logical presuppositions, such as the resolve to protect civilization from the cancer of sexual degeneracy, then it loses all moral authority. True conservatism must agree with God that A man must not lie with a man as with a woman. It is an abomination (Leviticus 18:22).
President Reagan once said in a speech to his conservative supporters Without God, there is no virtue, because theres no prompting of the conscience. Without God, were mired in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that were one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
By Reagans standard were going under. Its time for conservatives to reject the Marxist-invented myth of the gay conservative and get back to Biblical truth.
I share your revulsion at the pedo posters which formed a backdrop for one of Milo’s most-publicized gigs. He’s not stupid, therefore it could not have been inadvertent. I can’t help thinking it was a deliberate provocation.
It is much easier to believe in a gay conservative than a gay Christian.
I think so too. He’s seeing just how far he can push the envelope, and just how stupid (or unprincipled) conservatives (or “conservatives”) really are. Also, when the “conservative” party falls for this, all bets are off. It will be the other party through which the homosexual agenda can wend its way. They already own the left, now it’s time to work on owning the right.
"Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me."
"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me."
Sounds like a lot of exclusionary terms to me. Straight from the mouth of Jesus.
But, like the 'peaceful Muslims,' lift not the smallest voice in protest when radical homoNazis sue a cake business out of existence.
They are just as complicit!
I interesting. Does your Masonic Lodge exclude only Islamists, or does it exclude all Muslims. including the anti-Islamists? I’m thinking in particular of the Ahmadi Muslims.
Well said.
If we had just compromised on slavery, we might have avoided a Civil War.
there was a half century of attempted compromise on the slavery issue prior to the War...
Ok.
Given the self-evident nature of the Transhumanist/Postgenderist/LGBTQXYZWhateverist agenda - I vote we stand for conserving the human species:
>>Define “conservative”. Seriously ... I no longer know what the term means.
Well, how’bout NOT part of the Transhumanist/Postgenderist/LGBTQXYZWhateverist subset - for starters.
The job of facilitating the strategic demoralization of American culture? THAT job?
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization".It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science. Members of parliament, representatives of business circles.Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups: those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation; [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution. "--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)
Luke 17:1-4 17 "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
NIV What do the words REBUKE and REPENT mean in this week's edition of the Rainbow Newspeak Dictionary?
“The job of facilitating the strategic demoralization of American culture?”
No.
>>No.
Well that’s the job he and the rest of the RINO Log Cabin Fagtards are doing, Super Genius.
Ok. How 'bout agreeing on Natural Historical FACTS then?
Natural Selection created Sex, the genetic exchange between Male and Female, because Sex increases the fitness of species; meanwhile, what Transhumanist/Postgenderist/LGBTQXYZWhateverists have selected isn't Sex - but the worship of themselves and their perversion of Nature.

See - No religion required!
>>BTW churches are full of sinners too!
Repentant sinners -- or the willfuly disobedient sort who pervert graceful forgivess of sin into PERMISSION to sin?
Luke 17:1-4
17 Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3 So watch yourselves.
"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him."
NIV
What do the words Rebuke and Repent mean?
>>Yes indeed, Jews are welcome in Masonic Lodges and shocker of shockers, we have Catholic members too.
Infidels of every denomination no doubt.
As, per Thomas Jefferson, the men who articulated the Virginia Act for Religious deliberately intended.
>>Blank stares, every time.
Yep.
Deer in the headlights mode seems to be a requisite performance art-form in the curriculum for homeschooled ostrich farming. Or something.
