A Point to Remember

Sometimes it seems the culture war is over and our side lost. Far Left Crazy owns our schools, colleges, and teachers’ unions, big chunks of our corporations, the Democrat Party, our so-called Mainstream Nooze Media, our, um, “entertainment” industry, and all sorts of wealthy, influential international organizations. What can we do? They’re devouring our civilization.

But it’s important, it’s vital, to remember that all of this was, in our own lifetimes, nothing but a bunch of silly little fringe groups who, if they were noticed at all, got laughed at. And now they’re on top.

This has happened before, times without number. Seen anything of the Assyrian Empire lately? How about the Roman Empire? The Third Reich? The Soviet Union? How high were they riding before they took their last great fall?

What could have had a less promising beginning than the Christian Church itself? But the Bible tells us that God always does, and always has, preserved a remnant. A seed.And in His own time, He will make it grow.

Our seed will grow; they’ll never pluck it out. All we have to do is be faithful. The lesson has been repeated again and again throughout our history. Hell is full of would-be rulers of the world. God does not need a vast majority to do His work.

He is the majority. Now and always, Amen.

 

Satanists Sue School District (LOL)

Satan after school? Club "inspired" by Satan to start at local elementary school | WKRC

The “Satanic Temple” has announced that it will sue the North York, Pennsylvania, school district for not allowing an “After-School Satan Club” (https://globalnews.ca/news/8784117/satanic-temple-sues-school-after-club-rejected/).

Sheesh! Can you say “coals to Newcastle”? Public education is a Satan club!

It seems the school offered to let them have their club–supposedly devoted to Smart Thinking and “rationalism”, as defined by themselves–if they didn’t call it a Satan club or use the name of Satan. We are talking here of clubs that meet on school property, which is public property.

Public, eh? You mean, like, “who pays for that school property”? Why, that would be the defenseless public, no one else, taxed half to death and yet with absolutely no say as to how the money is used, or what is taught there, or who teaches it. What could be more Satanic than that?

(Well, yeah, they could easily make it worse by adding Critical Race Theory and transgender stuff–if they don’t already have it.)

You’d think the public would get to own the property they pay for!

Just one of those unjust, unreasonable, and stupid things that needs to be changed, big-time.

Has My Temper Got the Better of Me?

Somebody on my chess forum has told me I ought to throttle back on the name-calling.

For some reason it made me think of a bit in a 1953 sci-fi classic, It Came from Outer Space. Things have been getting very gnarly, and the sheriff is just about ready to erupt. And he says, “Did you know… more people are murdered at 92 degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature. I read an article once–lower temperatures, people are easy-going. Over 92, it’s too hot to move. But just 92, people get irritable!”

Well, what can I say? I get irritable. Especially when it’s day after day with white liberal useful idiots squawking about how much they hate white people and how bad all white people are, yatta-yatta. It’s my job to check the news each day, but there’s only so much of this Woke Democrat horse-schiff I can take.

I think it’s important and valuable to mock the Far Left self-anointed oracles who presume to lecture us. They believe their own hype and it drives them crazy when they’re laughed at. If there’s anybody out there who’s fooled by the Left’s pretense to superior intelligence, we owe it to them to set them free from that deception.

We are not up against criminal geniuses like Prof. Moriarty or Dr. Fu Manchu, super-villains, might as well surrender, etc. True, there are a few sharp knives in that drawer; but it’s a very big drawer. For the most part, we’re up against poops and twaddlers who haven’t even a suspicion of just how stupid they are.

And, and, and! We are up against spiritual wickedness in high places. See St. Paul’s warning in Ephesians 6: 10-20. Earnest prayer is called for.

I’m not trying to say it’s a good thing for me to lose my temper when dealing with Satan’s sock puppets. But “winsome” just looks phony when I try it, and besides, it’s wasted on them.

‘Why the Good Guys Always Lose’ (2013)

K-5 In Public Schools. A dejected and worried young girl in a classroom

I’ve never found a more reliable method of losing battles in the culture war than this, espoused in 2013 by Rebecca Hagelin.

Why the Good Guys Always Lose

All right, it’s a rhetorical expression: we don’t always lose. But we don’t have “gay marriage,” Drag Queen Story Hour, hyper-feminism, and a virulent strain of the Democrat Party infecting our House of Representatives because we know how to win.

I wonder if Ms. Hagelin was quite all there when she wrote this.

‘So Now I’m “Dangerous”?’ (2016)

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

By now I’ve learned that there are a lot of us, right here on this blog, who’ve been banned or suspended from the social media for one stupid “reason” or another. But I’ve never heard of anyone being banned or suspended for spouting Far Left Crazy we-hate-everybody twaddle.

So Now I’m ‘Dangerous’?

And when you get around the media gatekeepers, there are always individual prats who want to shut you down. I heard from one the other day. Because I don’t reserve my vote for The Righteous Candidate who doesn’t exist and never will, she said, I’m just a phony evil fake Christian. Not a real one like Pete “I’ve Got a Husband!” Whatsisname, who ponces around with a Bible while praising abortion to the skies.

So you’re “dangerous” and I’m “dangerous,” and oh! I pray it’s so! I would love to be a genuine danger to the humanist lies and idols of this age!

And I think I’d better use a Happy Puppies picture so I don’t get censored.

How Badly Are We Losing?

I’m a story-teller, and I consume other people’s stories. It’s fuel. I need it like a car needs gasoline. So, in addition to reading stories, I watch stories online–movies and TV shows.

Lately it’s become almost impossible to find a show or a miniseries that does not subject the viewer to one or more commercials for homosexuality. Some recent examples:

In Brokenwood, a New Zealand cop show, the best and wisest man in town is, of course, openly “gay” and proud of it. And police officers counsel a lesbian not to break up with her girlfriend, because “love” is love, blah-blah. So no more Brokenwood here.

Murdoch Mysteries (Canadian) recently aired its 200th episode. That’s quite a successful series. The hero, Murdoch, is a devout Catholic and a man of high moral character. But this season they have decided to turn one of the regular characters into a homosexual, for no reason I can see.

In some Irish thing we watched, the loving mother says to her son, “Why don’t you find a nice young man and settle down?” If anyone has ever said this in real life, shame on our species.

And last night, in Father Brown, of all places, we were treated to a budding lesbian romance.

There are more, but enough is enough.

We are losing our culture. Oh! And we’ll lose our republic and our freedom, too, if the schemers and corrupt spies and bent cops who tried to undo the 2016 election and take out our president are not punished so severely, and publicly, that no one ever tries to do it again.

Now is not the time to give in. It’s never time to give in. Here are some things we can do instead of surrendering.

Cling to the cross of Jesus Christ, and to the Bible. It’s God’s word, and it will not return to Him defeated.

Pray several times a day, and keep a store of hymns handy.

Stick together and encourage, comfort, and support each other. Here on this blog, we have a Christian fellowship. Many more of them need to be created. Let’s use this dazzling communications technology to build a truly universal Church.

Never go along to get along. More mischief has been done by that than by any other means that I can think of.

Speak the truth, stand up for it. Too many people change their core beliefs just because they’re told to. We must not.

The enemy’s might does seem overwhelming; but even the weakness of God is stronger than they. The foolishness of God is wiser than men. (1 Corinthians 1: 25) It is required of us to keep the faith.

No one ever faced a more daunting, a more hopeless challenge than Winston Churchill did in 1940. He refused to give in. He refused to be daunted. And when the smoke cleared in 1945, Churchill was still standing and Hitler was dead.

Never give in.

My Newswithviews Column, May 23 (‘It’s War, All Right’)

‘No hay pan’ is “We have no bread” in Spanish: Venezuelan slang for ‘Ain’t socialism wonderful?’

Remember what Sun Tzu said, in The Art of War: “On death ground, fight.”

It’s War, All Right

Far Left Crazy means to wipe out Christian America, and won’t let up until it does. The culture war is still on, it’s deadly serious, and Christian America has to win or Christian America dies. It’s that simply.

And never mind being “winsome”!

The time for that is after we’ve won a total victory and the Democrat Party has been forever consigned to the landfill of history.

A Time to Stand Firm

In one of the most spectacular displays of fake news yet, big-time nooze media jumped all over a bunch of high school kids for allegedly “taunting” adult “activists,” as the boys waited for their bus home from the weekend’s March for Life (https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-met-covington-catholic-dc-video-kass-20190122-story.html).

See, a couple of the kids had MAGA hats, so that meant they are White Supremacists so they have to be confronted by “activists” and called names and threatened… so then the nooze media can whip up some video showing the “activists as victims,” and so on.

What really happened? A group of “Black Israelites”–can anybody tell me why any black people would be fanatically devoted to abortion?–started yelling at the kids and calling them names, and then an old fraud of a “Native American activist” ran up and started banging his stupid drum in one kid’s face–and ooh, forsooth! they “bullied” him, too, and him a poor old war hero–and it all goes to prove that these kids have “White Privilege” or something.

Why did I call Big Chief BS a fraud? He’s a professional protester. He goes around the country protesting everything. No visible means of support. Oh– and what, pray tell, is the connection between “Native American activism” and abortion? What a load of pure crapola.

It has now been proved beyond a doubt that the whole incident was concocted, spun, and blown up by the Far Left Crazy and their owners in the nooze media. Even more shameful was the alacrity with which assorted pseudoconservatives who actually conserve nothing hopped on the “Native American activist” phoney’s bandwagon.

And then there was the “CNN personality,” who has no personality, who said, speaking of one of the boys who’d worn a MAGA hat, “Have you ever seen a more punchable face than this kid’s?” I nominate yours, doofus.

They had to close the kids’ school, Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky, and open it again yesterday–with “a heavy police presence” because of all the threats of violence by the Loving Left. As has become the custom among “progressives,” the children’s families were “doxed”–that is, their identities and home addresses revealed, so as to invite vandals or assassins.

Attention, Covington Catholic High School–this is a teachable moment: not just for you, but for all the decent normal people in America. Learn this, and learn it well.

The ungodly are out there in force, desperate to seize control of our country. They hate us, they hate our God, they hate our morality, they hate our way of life. And they lie: the truth is not in them. They are out there seeking to conquer us, to subjugate us–and they must be defeated. There more of us than there are of them, many times more, and we must dedicate ourselves to defeating them. For good. Because the only alternative they’ve left us is to be ruled by them–and we’re not having it.

My Interview with David Limbaugh

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

“If we don’t keep fighting the culture war, we can expect the demise of our values in America.”

David Limbaugh said this in 2005, when I interviewed him for Chalcedon.

https://chalcedon.edu/resources/articles/david-limbaugh-on-the-culture-war-christians-have-to-stay-in-the-fight

This week, with a Republican minority reduced to impotence, the New York State Legislature, overwhelmingly Democrat, voted to allow abortions up to the moment of birth. They’d been pushing this for a decade. Until now, Republican opposition had always been enough to defeat the measure.

Unlike so many other “conservatives” whose positions make me wonder what they think they’re “conserving,” David Limbaugh’s conservatism is firmly and deeply rooted in his Christianity. In the 13 years since this interview, he hasn’t changed. I like him for that!

Chess Knights Smite a Dragon

I was appalled to encounter someone who actually believes “transgender” is just fine and subjecting young children to “The Drag Queen Story Hour” does no harm at all. This appeared as a long post on pg. 603 (today’s page) of my Playground Player forum at http://www.chessgames.com/ . I won’t attempt to reproduce it here. If you want to read it, please visit the forum.

I wasn’t looking forward to trying to answer such a preposterous and morally vacuous argument, but when I logged in today to attempt it, I found that several of my esteemed colleagues at Chessgames had already done the job–big-time. I find it hard to say how happy that made me!

We must not let these people murder our culture. We must not be silent when God’s Word, which is the truth, is despised. Not that He needs our help: but we are His servants, and we must do our best to serve Him.

There does seem to be a bit more pushback now than there was two or three years ago. May God give us the strength and the wit to push back even harder: in Jesus’ name, Amen.
