A Book to Make Me Wake Up Screaming REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

 From May 11, 2016

Those publicists just can’t stop barking up the wrong tree.

I have been invited to review a book “set against the mysterious and sexy backdrop of Southern Cuba”–actually, she lost me right there–that “follows the young Thalia Vandergruen as she searches for her true identity with the help of trusted clairvoyant Sofi…”

Stop already. Have you ever known anyone actually named “Thalia”? I haven’t. And what’s with “Sofi”? That’s not how you spell Sophia, or Sophie. And she’s a clairvoyant. Uncle! Uncle!

But wait, there’s more. If you think those are silly names, Thalia meets this guy named “Yahriel–” (You should see how my spell check is reacting to these names. You’d think Joe Collidge wrote this.)

Stop, I can’t take any more. And this by a supposedly best-selling author. I checked: she’s a real person. I’m not giving her name because I prefer not to hurt her feelings. And anyhow the issue is not her, or her particular book, but the kind of drivel that keeps oozing out of our publishing industry. This example is pitched especially to women, in the category “women’s fiction.” But I will not have that said about women.

“What sets it apart,” concludes the publicist, “is the author’s signature smart bent and social conscience.” Great merciful heavens–does that mean what I think it means? The poor defenseless reader! I can’t think of anything good to say about “social conscience” in fiction.

I’m always looking for books to read and review, but this will not be one of them.

Idiocy on Steroids REPRINT

A fellow Christian columnist has shared this comment from one of his readers. I reproduce it here unedited, undiluted.

“Not a shred of moral relativism at all in what I said. I said all human live is valuable. I also said it is good to live one’s religious faith.

“But let’s get your your example of what you call ‘mugging and self-defense.’

“A person you term a ‘mugger’ approaches you with a display of force and, with the threat of violence, ask you to give him some property. You comply. No one dies. Everyone goes on with their day.

“The only actual ‘danger’ to human life comes when you threaten the mugger (and the mugger’s life). You may say ‘no.’ That threatens the mugger. You may brandish a weapon. If its a gun, you may open fire. Those acts certainly threaten the mugger.

“When all that the mugger wants is a little property, it is not clear why you feel morally inclined to threaten the mugger’s life. It would seem it is just easier to share your property with the person who has the monopoly of force.

“And its not clear in the case of the mugger who is actually the victim. The mugger needs property. You have property. The mugger is asking you to share. That does not imply victimhood at all. Your selfish refusal to share is what escalates the exchange in the first instance.”

Now this is imbecility of a very high order, inaccessible to ordinary dunderheads. It may only be acquired, at great cost, at a university, from tenured professors who are themselves morons.

I wonder if this guy will ever deliver the keynote speech at a Democrat convention?

So, folks, the next time a thug with a switchblade “asks” you for your property, remember, it’s immoral to resist him.

A compleat jidrool has told you so.

The Stories I Don’t Cover REPRINT

Christ Pantokrator–Ruler of All

From February 27, 2018

There are stories floating around out there today that I just can’t bring myself to cover. There’s a limit to how much I can subject myself or my readers. Great evil and great madness are afoot, much of which borders on what H.P. Lovecraft called “the perfection of the hideous”–and I suspect a lot of this stuff would be too hideous even for him.

I reached that decision after encountering a report that “many men,” instructed mostly by pornography, “now prefer sex-bots to real women.” And that’s real good for us, says the guy who sells them. If he plays his cards right, he might get a seat on the World Happiness Council.

We need to cling to this: that God sees everything, and that He sees also the things that we can’t see. And does things that we can’t see Him doing. His enemies march boldly back and forth upon the earth, bragging about all the things they’re going to do, just you wait, it’s gonna be great…

If this were a chess game I was watching, I would be dismayed.

But in the end God says “Checkmate!” and one by one, and two by two, the enemy’s pawns and pieces vanish from the board, never to be seen again. Game over. God wins.

We are to be as watchmen, says Ezekiel. We are to report what we see; it may be some people will listen, and remove themselves from the path to disaster. But there are times when we needn’t dwell on the unedifying details.

God the Father will put all things under Jesus Christ, His Son, as king of kings and lord of lords, the only potentate whose right it is to rule.

Hang on to that.

Sacraments of Humanism: Sex Education REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

 

From April 19, 2017Image result for images of sex education

We wonder why public school “educators” are always so hot to trot for sex education–and the younger the children in the classroom, the more eagerly the educators swing into action. In Britain, as reported earlier today, they now want to go after two-year-olds. (https://leeduigon.com/2017/04/19/uk-teachers-vote-sex-ed-for-2-year-olds/)

It’s because what they like to call “sex education” is a sacrament of a false religion, secular humanism. The other humanist sacraments are sodomy, transgenderism, abortion, and assisted suicide.

Another big question is why parents, even Christian parents, continue to allow believers in that false religion to educate their children, day in, day out, and year after year.

Rather large  books can be, and have been, written on this subject. This is only a blog post. It’s my way of urging parents and families to stop subjecting their children to public education.

Years ago, I worked most days as a substitute teacher at a public high school, called in to teach any and all subjects with only one exception–sex education. No substitute was ever called in for that. If the teacher was absent, an assistant principal had to supervise the class.

To keep parents from ever knowing exactly what was being taught, the textbooks were never allowed to be taken out of the classroom. Students complained that this made it hard for them to study for tests and quizzes, but that was the policy and the administration was not about to change it.

A student or a teacher in a public school can fall into a world of trouble by openly expressing any kind of faithfulness to Christian teaching. “You can be a boy one day and a girl the next, depending on how you feel.” This is, increasingly, what is being taught.

The Coalition of African-American Pastors, just to name one of many groups of concerned citizens and Christians, has warned that this kind of indoctrination is not going to go away, it is going to be made more intense as time goes by, and if we leave it alone and do nothing to stop it, our society will be severely damaged by it.

They couldn’t be more right. (http://caapusa.org/2017/04/beware-those-who-have-their-heads-in-the-sand-over-transgender-issues/ )

Beware! Here Come Killer Robots! REPRINT

From May 29, 2015

A computer science professor at Berkeley has warned that “research” by the Defense Dept. (B. Hussein Obama, proprietor) could create “drones which can track and kill targets even when out of contact with their handlers…. the research could breach the Geneva Convention and leave humanity in the hands of amoral machines” ( http://godfatherpolitics.com/22681/killer-robots-will-destroy-us-scientist-warns/ ).

How much worse is that than being at the mercy of immoral and wicked human beings?

I believe Professor Stuart Russell means well, and that he’s trying to warn us against what he sees as a very real danger. He may even be right. Who knows what the DOD lab-rats get up to, behind closed doors?

Naturally, this conjures up visions of The Terminator and other robot menaces. Oh, dear–another thing to worry about! Aaagh, we’re all gonna die! From Global Warming… or Income Inequality, or Homophobia, or Too Much Red Meat in Our Diet and Not Enough Tofu… or the ocean is going to dry up, or else flood over all our coastal cities.. from overpopulation, underpopulation, or simply not enough Trans People to go around. From whatever.

See what terrors you get into, when you don’t believe in God.

If your god is such a patzer that he can’t protect his own creation from little ants and fleas like us, then your god is not God. If your god sent his only son to earth to redeem the human race, and it didn’t work because the human race totally destroyed itself, then your god is not God and your savior is not Jesus Christ.

Wise up, O men of God.

A Big ‘Uh-Oh’ for Women’s Sports REPRINT

“I enjoy being a girl…”

Everything leftids believe is based on some kind of delusion. The government creates wealth. You can raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour with no adverse effect on business.

And of course, if you say you’re a girl, that makes you a girl. Whatever you say you are, you are. And only a Biggit says otherwise.

And so, at Cromwell High School in Connecticut, a 15-year-old boy with a mustache has gone out for girls’ track–because the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference says you are whatever you say you are–and has already come in first in a girls’ track meet (http://www.crisismagazine.com/2017/transgender-lunacy). Ain’t that grand? And because he’s a freshman, he can look forward to four full years of filling his shelf with girls’ track trophies. Well, at least until bigger and stronger boys with full beards say they’re girls, too, and knock him out of the catbird seat.

The girl who trained so hard to come in second in the meet, and win nothing, said, “I can’t really say what I want to say…” Yer darn tootin’ you can’t! The Human Rights Commission might be listening. You know what they do to those who utter hat speach.

Hey! what happens when it’s time to give out girls’ athletic scholarships? Can boys scarf those up, too?

And what happens when the workplace catches on, and men start declaring themselves women so they can get raises and promotions that would otherwise go to…ahem!…real women?

You can’t follow crazy thoughts and not end up in crazy places.

I hope this link works.  His speech is around 15 minutes long.  Watch it if you have the time but have your vomit bag on your lap.  He is a wacko feminist, among other things.

And this is what the Dems want in the Senate.

On this blog alone there are enough “education follies” posts to fill a good-sized book–actual news reports of real follies and outrages perpetrated by what we laughingly call “public education.”

In spite of the mass of information to the contrary, tens of millions of our fellow Americans continue to send their children to public schools to be educated by strangers trained by very Far Left teachers’ unions–and then on to college to finish the job. Why do they do this?

After some fruitless conversation in a chat room yesterday, it was made clear to me again, for the umpteenth hundredth time, that people simply refuse to believe the truth about public education. The truth is plain for all to see: it would take some effort to miss it. Nevertheless, most of America does not see. Decide for yourself whether it’s because they really can’t see or have just chosen, obstinately, not to see.

Yesterday the thing they refused to believe (the people I was chatting with) was that the single biggest lesson taught in public schools is that your age-group peers–other kids–are the most important people in your life. So you must please them, you must conform to their expectations, you must try, no matter what the cost, to be popular. They are much more important than your family. Your family is so un-cool! Boring! But conformity with your “friends” is everything.

That was the case even when I went to school, way back when.

It is still the case now.

Uh, people–could you, like, just take a minute to look at our freakin’ culture? Do you like what you see? Really?

Sing louder.

Keep trying.

God help us.

Losers Wear Safety Pins REPRINT

From November 12, 2016

Whine, whine, snivel, snivel…

Now for a brief excursion into Ninnyland.

Liberals just can’t stand it that the people told their candidate, Careless Clinton, to take a hike. How could they? The ungrateful wretched peasants! And so, to register their protest against reality, they have taken to wearing safety pins on their outer clothing ( http://www.mediaite.com/election-2016/people-are-wearing-safety-pins-to-protest-trump-and-signal-that-theyre-a-safe-space/ ).

See, that’s supposed to be a signal to other sissy liberals: “It’s okay, I’m as big a twollop as you are, it’s safe for you to talk to me! You won’t hear anything at all that you don’t want to hear.”

You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things: it was your side, your precious crooked Democrats, who recruited thugs and paid them to invade Trump rallies to touch off violent incidents. It’s your side who physically attacks anyone wearing a Trump button or T-shirt. It’s your side that’s doing all the rioting. It’s Democrats that it isn’t safe to be around.

The safety pin nonsense was started by dopes in the UK who are all bent out of shape because regular people voted to secede from the European Union. That makes them all racists, you know. And biggits.

But decades before that, sado-masochists–one of those “minorities” so cherished by liberals–used to wear safety pins so they could recognize a kindred spirit in a crowd.

Well, liberalism is nothing if it’s not masochism.

I went back and tried to bring over the video to this post, but I couldn’t. If you wish, you can watch it on YouTube    PD  2/24/2026

From June 8, 2016

 

On June 1 this wack-fest was held to celebrate the opening of the Gotthard Base Tunnel under the Alps, in Switzerland. I have selected the shortest of many videos that illustrate–well, I don’t know what it illustrates.

To me the images created for this event seem like something from a badly damaged brain shorting out just before it flat-lines. To others, it’s a lot of New World Order/Illuminati code and symbolism that reveals a satanic origin. Or maybe the Swiss are just trying to one-up the Presbyterian Church USA: their General Conference opening ceremonies are generally a hoot.

I don’t believe in secret cabals of fiendishly clever villains micro-managing world history in the service of their master, Satan. But I do believe in fiendishly stupid or demented, overpaid, overpraised, in-love-with-themselves big shots who blunder into one folly, one mass sin, after another… in the service of their master, Satan.

As weird and apparently lunatic as the images in this ceremony are, what’s weirder still is the gallery of well-dressed, obviously upper-crust ninnies soberly and sagely watching it all.

They’re the ones, I think, we have to watch out for.
