Small Town Pushes Back REPRINT

What the cities can’t do, maybe our small towns can!

[Thanks to Jeri Lynn for the news tip]

(I am so tired today! Weather’s turned rotten, that must be it.)

Can “teachers” and librarians hand out to children any old smut they please… and be immune from the prosecution that would ensue if you did it?

The state of Kansas says yes.

But the town of Edwardsville, KS, pop. 4,800, says no (https://readlion.com/2022/09/29/small-kansas-town-council-rejects-states-legal-protections-for-teachers-librarians-who-submit-obscene-materials-to-minors/?fbclid=IwAR3wZxal_F5TNpbgnOwYueOcW57zteY3WWqGorh3dGGRHMfEBptw1Na3gqs).

Kansas has a Uniform Public Offenses Code to serve as a model for towns and villages who want to make amendments to their respective governments. Many states have such codes. And in Kansas’ code, teachers and librarians can distribute sexually-charged materials to very young children–with no fear of prosecution.

The mayor and council of Edwardsville rejected that provision. There are many compelling reasons for not habituating children to pornography. Everybody knows that except “educators” at teachers’ colleges, unionized teachers, pedophiles, and Far Left morons. Oh–and “TV personalities,” too. Get your 8-year-olds jazzed up for sex!

But they won’t let you do that in Edwardsville.

The Lord Our God does not despise the day of small things, and neither should we. Rejoice! We owe the mayor and council of Edwardsville our gratitude.

May their example inspire others to do the same.

Obedience Training for Adult Humans REPRINT

people wearing leashes... - Album on Imgur

From March 23, 2021

According to the ideology of hyper-humanism, government can create a risk-free, trouble-free, paradise of a world if only it’s given enough power–lots and lots and lots of power–and human beings obey that power… one way or another, heh-heh.

So it makes sense to teach adults a habit of obedience, as if they were toddlers or dogs. Adults get ideas above their station. They think they can live their lives without government telling them how to live. Tarnation! We’ll never get paradise if people don’t obey the government!

Now, according to a confidential source who is not to be relied on for a minute, the whole COVID-19 pandemic was designed as “a course in obedience” for the entire adult human population. The idea is, obey or the virus’ll kill ya. Obey no matter how big a hardship it is–lose your job, lose your business, lose Christmas with your family, wear a mask all the time, wear two masks, endure that jackanapes Fauci on your TV screen and pretend you believe him… All that hard and annoying stuff. Of course it’s not going to do you any good. The whole idea is to teach you to obey.

Just like if you were a dog.

So, sure, the nasty virus does really exist, they did take the trouble to brew it up in the lab and let it get loose, and heaven help you if you’re a patient in a nursing home and a COVID case comes in–

But like the man said, never let a good crisis go to waste!

After all, we believe that sinners and fools can create a government that’s neither sinful nor foolish… don’t we?

They Shall Be as Gods

 

Curing diseases is a good thing. God gave us brains for that. But setting up the humanist state as an idol, that’s not a good thing. In fact it was the dirtiest trick the 20th century ever played on the human race, and we’re still living with it today.

Yowsah, yowsah! Just give us absolute power over everyone and everything, and nobody will ever get sick!

Do you think they might’ve been deliriously happy when COVID came along?

This Book Has Got Me Cranking! REPRINT

The Dumbest Generation by Mark Bauerlein: 9781585427123 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

From June 3, 2021

 

I spend hours every week studying the follies and deficiencies of our public education system, the costliest ever created in recorded history. I know it’s awful.

But just one chapter into this book–The Dumbest Generation, by Mark Bauerlein–had me shaking my head and muttering to myself.

It’s far worse than I thought.

Bauerlein, a college English professor, realizes something I realized years ago. The single worst thing about public school is, it makes your age-group peers the most important people in your life. That in itself was one of the worst ideas ever. But now, says Bauerlein, social media and a plethora of electronic gizmos have made an atrocious situation horrifyingly worse.

Kids and teens now live in the moment, cut off from the past, never pondering the future, unable to look any farther than their own little social media bubbles–obsessed with what other kids are doing, saying, playing… And they know… nothing.

All those boxcar-loads of money spent on “education,” and they come out of college knowing bloody nothing. They’re fixated on their peers in the social media. They never look beyond it. No history, no civics, no literature, no nothing. Maybe they’ll read a comic book now and then. And watch TV.

The author bases these claims on the results of many authoritative studies involving hundreds of thousands of school and college students.

What’s to worry?

Well, they can all vote, can’t they? And they’re always ready to Protest For Social Justice. Because it’s expected of them. Because their peers do it.

It is literally the march of ignorance.

I’m going to review this book for Chalcedon, so I have to read the rest of it. And I think I’d better pray harder! We are talking about creating a country full of conformist know-nothings who will not be able to sustain a constitutional republic. I’m a political scientist, I know these things, trust me: you can’t have a republic of idiots.

(Thanks to Susan for the news tip)

Robert Kennedy Jr., nephew of President John F. Kennedy, son of former Attorney General and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, has hit the nail right on the head.

His father told him, he says, “People in authority lie.

“If we are going to continue to live in a democracy we need to understand that people in authority lie” (https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/robert-kennedy-jr-issues-warning-on-covid-vaccine/).

Gee, ya think?

“People in authority,” he says, “will abuse every power that we relinquish to them and right now we are giving them the power to micro-manage every bit of our lives, 24 hours a day… These government agencies are orchestrating obedience and it is not democratic…”

How easily they’ve trained us to obedience! All it took was King Covid: do what you’re told, by us, or else the virus gonna kill you dead! Hence the mandates, one after another, the face masks, the restrictions on our worship services and family gatherings–Junior, you’ve hit the middle of the bullseye.

The Great False Prophet of ‘Democracy’ REPRINT

From April 7, 2021

John Dewey

There is a reason why we have always heard, and continue to hear, so much babble about “democracy” when the country we live in is, by law, a republic.

Much of that reason is John Dewey (1859-1952), often hailed as America’s greatest philosopher, a great sage–guilty, though, according to R.J. Rushdoony, of calling Christianity “an alien faith” because “committed to a fundamental discrimination and separation to a ‘spiritual aristocracy”… and “the opposition of the human kingdom to God’s kingdom” (Thy Kingdom Come, pg. 54).

So what we have is “America’s greatest philosopher,” powerful and influential, baldly stating his opposition to Christianity–in a Christian country founded by Christians. And being applauded for it.

Rushdoony quotes Dewey: “I cannot understand how any realization of the democratic ideal as a vital moral and spiritual ideal in human affairs is possible without surrender of the conception of the basic division to which Christianity is committed.”

Did you get that? Christianity is bad, Dewey has taught generations of American academics, because it’s not “democratic.” That makes it… bad.

Now just because academics and their students today probably couldn’t tell you who Dewey was, doesn’t mean they aren’t drinking from the well he dug. They are drinking deeply; and as for the well, many lesser fat-heads have labored on it since, always digging deeper.

That we can’t think of any thinker who successfully unmasked Dewey as a charlatan does not speak well for our late-19th and early-20th century crop of thinkers.

And so our republic gets eroded, now more than ever, and our foolish “intellectuals” seduce us with “democratic ideals.” What God couldn’t do, they will! Make way for utopia! All we need is an all-powerful government, advised by themselves, to take us there.

These sins go back a long way in our history, and their effect is being felt today.

More Democracy! REPRINT

All Star Game Ballots

From September 1, 2021

 

The Blue State Fund for Unity has announced a new plan to make America’s national elections more Democratic… er, I mean “democratic.”

“We got the idea from the way they used to vote for the baseball All-Star game years ago, before computers,” said BSFU Commissar Royce Squeegee: “Grab as many ballots as you can and stay up all night filling ’em out–a great way to get your favorite players onto the team! Even better than the way they voted this year, on line.”

So what is the new idea?

“Phone-in voting!” burbled Squeegee. “Even better than mail-in voting, because we won’t need drop boxes. Anybody with a cell phone can call in as many votes as he wants! What could be more democracy than that?”

California is in line, he said, to be the first state to demonstrate the ineffable desirability of phone-in voting. “Once we overwhelmingly vote Gavin Newsom back into the governor’s mansion, the whole country will follow. I tell ya, blue state governors are already licking their chops over this!

“And if you don’t have a cell phone,” he added, “the Democratic Party will give you one–free! Along with another COVID vaccination, just to sweeten the pot.”

Squeegee rejected the argument that this will lead to bogus elections with millions of more votes than voters. “There’s no such thing as too much voting!” he howled. “We ran a computer simulation that showed 700 million votes for President Biden.

“This is a fundamental transformation to top ’em all!”

The Pseudo-Religion Comes into Its Own REPRINT

Opinion: Satanic Display Shows Power Of The Bible | WVPE

From November 26, 2020

COVID-19 is very far from being the deadliest disease the world has ever known, but that hasn’t stopped our exalted leaders from behaving like it’s the Black Death and the Spanish Flu rolled into one. And so we have these bizarre, draconian restrictions wrapped around people’s necks, world-wide; and every time we get close to what we’ve been told will be the end of it, they move the goalposts farther away.

Need we mention that nobody tells us anymore what the end will be?

And what happens from now on whenever a nasty disease comes along? Are we gonna play shutdown/lockdown every time?

Why do our exalted leaders do this to us?

Because it’s their weird substitute religion. And what religion is that? The Humanist Manifesto 2 will sum it up neatly for you (https://americanhumanist.org/what-is-humanism/manifesto2/): There is no God, but no problem, using our infallible Science wisely, we, the world’s smartest people, can and will do everything God shoulda done!

So they want God’s job, they want to sit on His throne: and then they realize, “Schiff, now we gotta do all those things we disbelieved in God for not doing!” You will find those things listed in the Humanist Manifesto. Question: Why does every moth-eaten bunch of commie wackos have a “manifesto”?

Now that government is God, and they’re the government, they have to do a better job than God ever did and prevent all Bad Things from happening! And if any of them do happen anyway, it’s Donald Trump’s fault. In the case under discussion here, the self-anointed gods now have to demonstrate that they can wipe out diseases. Once they’ve got it all under control, no one will ever get sick anymore! (Unless White Supremacists find some way to make them sick.)

Whatever the problem, it can always be traced to a core or cadre of Christian conservative spoil-sports who refuse to get behind the program. They’re the ones holding back the Government from creating Utopia! Off to the gulag with ’em! You’ve gotta break eggs to make an omelet.

It’s not just disease. The new gods, self-anointed, also propose to eliminate war, poverty, inequality, and unhappiness. “That’s a better deal than God ever gave you!” And who needs forgiveness of sins, when there must be some Scientific method to make it impossible for you to sin in word, act, or thought? Some little chip implanted in your brain: it’ll fry you if you think a Bad Thought.

Because the humanists aspire to be gods–just as the Serpent promised, back in the Garden of Eden–they must aim for and exercise total control over every aspect of human life. Wow! Good thing they’ll only do that for our own good!

The fool says in his heart that there is no god; and then he goes out and makes one out of cardboard.

A Truly Bizarre Nooze Story REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From April 20, 2022

This is one of the weirdest damned nooze stories I ever heard, and that’s why I’m giving Tucker Carlson 13 minutes to explain it to you.

Hey! What would parents think if they could actually see and hear some of the nutballs who are “teaching” their children in the public schools? Well, some unidentified woman collected video that the teachers themselves posted publicly on TikTok and elsewhere: she then posted the collection, dubbed “Libs of TikTok”–and the Far Left Crazy went ballistic.

This is “a campaign to intimidate” wacko leftid teachers–how dare she? Never mind that this was material that the “teachers” themselves posted (it comes across as bragging–“Look what we can get away with!”) because they wanted their friends and cohorts to see it.

There ensued a witch hunt for the creator of “Libs of TikTok.” (Have we mentioned that TikTok is an agency of the Chinese Communist Party?) The Washington Post, which was once, long ago, a newspaper, led the hunt. Finally some “hate speech tracker” discovered the woman’s identity so they could loose the dogs on her and her family.

Finding her was a major operation, funded by the “Prototype Fund.” Gee, who are they? Well, it’s an agency set up by… you won’t believe it… German intelligence! They funded an organized campaign to crush an American citizen in America. Were they supposed to be our allies or something?

The Washington Post then had some gonk named Taylor Lorenz mobilize leftids against the now-identified woman; but this produced an unexpected backlash against poor l’il Taylor. See her break down into tears over people doing to her exactly what she first did to others! You just gotta love it.

So it’s not bad enough we have the toweringly corrupt Biden administration trying to make our minds right. Now we’ve got foreign intelligence agencies joining in.

Well, it’s too bad! The cat’s out of the bag, the horse is stolen from the barn–millions of Americans now know, based on what you yourselves have said, where a lot of you “teachers” are coming from and where you want to take our children. You groomers can run, but now you can’t hide.

The woman who unmasked them deserves a medal and a statue.

It occurs to me now that we could actually create a monument to these three villains who never got to be president. We could call it Mount Blushmore. They could add Pocahontas Warren to make a fourth.

Non-Presidents’ Day

Gore, Kerry, and Hillary Clinton–how lucky can you get, to have had none of those in office? We staggered through eight years of Obama. Now all we have to do is somehow survive Biden.

A revival has started. God is giving us a chance for national repentance and reform. Let’s not waste it.
