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. It’s being spun by some conservatives as merely appreciation for Thiel breaking ranks with the Trump bashers of Silicon Valley, but in fact there’s 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 America’s 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 Reagan’s 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 it’s 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.
Reagan’s 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 that’s always one step closer to Marxist goals. It’s 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 Murdoch’s 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 it’s openly “gay,” spotlight-hungry representative “Milo.” But like the truth of the Bible, true conservatism doesn’t “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 there’s no prompting of the conscience. Without God, we’re 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 we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”
By Reagan’s standard we’re going under. It’s time for conservatives to reject the Marxist-invented myth of the “gay conservative” and get back to Biblical truth.
I suspect Thomas Jefferson, (who thought homosexuals should be castrated BTW), would agree.
None the less, he also had some strong opinions rooted in his self-evident observations of NATURAL LAW, presuming in the natural order of things that...
It seems that, rather than humbly honoring and obeying He who made them free, the LGBTQWhateverist Abominators of Nature crowd have taken to worshiping themselves, AGAIN.
How'd that work out per Romans chapters 1 and 2?
"The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years. Actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him the concentration camps...he will refuse to believe it.... until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom.When the military boot crashes - then he will understand. But not before that. That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization."--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)
>>, our culture HAS CHANGED
Please tell the class how you believe the CULTURE being manifest in post-modern America is different from the CULTURE that was self-evident in Romans chapter 1 and 2?
>>Why would that not work with the rest of the planet?
2 Kings 25:1-10
25 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army. He encamped outside the city and built siege works all around it. 2 The city was kept under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 3 By the ninth day of the [fourth] month the famine in the city had become so severe that there was no food for the people to eat. 4 Then the city wall was broken through, and the whole army fled at night through the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden, though the Babylonians were surrounding the city. They fled toward the Arabah, 5 but the Babylonian army pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. All his soldiers were separated from him and scattered, 6 and he was captured. He was taken to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where sentence was pronounced on him. 7 They killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon.
8 On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard, an official of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 9 He set fire to the temple of the Lord, the royal palace and all the houses of Jerusalem. Every important building he burned down.

Etc.
But how did the story end for Nebuchadnezzar?
And what was God’s motivation for destroying the Tower of Babel?
Who was, and was not, being worshiped?
"the insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of it's protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan, the Hindoo, and infidel of every denomination."

What does this mean?
Certainly if anyone would benefit from Truth's natural weapons - Free Argument and Debate - it's individuals for whom Islam has fraudulently assumed dominion over their faith.
yeah, ok
I dont know anything about the LCR, but Milo makes it clear what he is about for anyone that can get off their high horse and listen, genius.
And like I said, when you blowhards step up and do what he does to confront the left, then you can run your mouth over who is and isnt worthy.
Milo and his cohorts are about worshiping themselves, their Created Things, and avoiding the due penalty for perversion.
Stick that in your wherever.
“Milo and his cohorts are about worshiping themselves”
By going into hostile venues to give college conservatives some sense that they can actually fight the overwhelming number of leftists? The fricking nerve of them!
While the people you worship on AM radio are safe in mansions, and most wouldn’t set foot in anything other than a rare 7 minute segment on Fox.....maybe. “Milo and his cohorts” actually managed to put a spine in people that just didnt know if they could ever have a chance. What the hell has Rush, Levin, Beck, Nat. Review and all of these other guys managed to do the past 8 years other than cashing a check for a few hours of talking into a microphone?
Sorry, I’m going to keep encouraging actual people with the balls to fight. You can cuddle up in the corner with a bible and “bravely” hope for the best, while feeling smug and pious.
” ...their Created Things, and avoiding the due penalty for perversion.”
Ok.... whatever that was supposed to mean.
I’m not interested in having a Biblical discussion, which is the only damn thing too many of you are good at. I’m going to go back to doing what I can to actually get things done. You can go back to checking numbers and symbols for signs of the “end times”.
You're as full of amoral dialectic sheeple-herding Rainbow bullshyte as Milo is.
Bezemenov called your ilk out 30+ years ago.
"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....The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years. Actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore.

Oh, Ok.
Please tell the class what impact sexual dimorphism had upon the fitness of species in the context of Natural Selection over the past several billion years then.
We'll wait!
http://www.google.com/search?q=Sex+Evolution+and+Behavior+Daly+Wilson
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.
>>That’s all pretty and nice, but God doesn’t fight political battles,
That’s what He made Natural Law for.

“You’re as full of amoral dialectic sheeple-herding Rainbow bullshyte as Milo is.”
And you sound like the typical bohunk backwoods hick that tosses money to Benny Hinn while thinking that snake handling is a thing.
You put more effort into screaming about one gay dude (likely jealous that he been more effective than you) and putting up walls of text than doing anything to actually defeat the left. Because effort = work.
Oh no...it has to be a Russian Soviet plot!!
And you’re STILL as full of amoral dialectic sheeple-herding Rainbow bullshyte as Milo is.
Just like the rest of demoralized Useful Idiots Bezmenov described.
You figure out what impact sexual dimorphism has upon the fitness of species (and cultures) yet, comrade?
{ crickets crickets crickets }
I was hoping you’d get an answer back on that one but still nothing...but....crickets.....
Yep
All the rights of man come from God, and our system of government is not sustainable with anything other than a Judeo-Christian ethos. Starting with that, there can be no actual right to sodomy- just one fabricated by man. Anyone pretending otherwise is a fool or a traitor.
wha????
Nor are these issues so black-and-white as people want to make them. Someone could have gay friends and be accepting of them as Reagan was without favoring gay marriage, and someone could oppose gay marriage without heavily going into the whole "abomination" thing.
Reagan did oppose the Briggs initiative which would have cost teachers their jobs if they were found to be homosexual or to have advocated or encouraged homosexuality.
Matthew 10:36
And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
This isn’t the first time human nature has done what it does.
