Mille Bornes Card Game (1960 Parker Brothers Bilingual Edition) - Fonts In Use

Not so fast there, chuckles!

There’s a lot of doom, defeat, and despair out there! Even among prominent conservative commentators, there’s a sense of “We’re just a lot of grasshoppers compared to those giants on the Left, and they’re gonna stomp us.”

Have the Bad Guys Won?

Shake it off, my friends! It’s all an illusion: they want you to believe it. They’ve worked so hard to create it, half of ’em believe it themselves. They want you to think you’re the only one left who hasn’t hopped aboard the Transgender Express.

But we outnumber them colossally–and if we could only put those numbers to work! We’d blow these jidrools out of the water in a day and still have time for a snappy game of Mille Bornes.

We really do have to stop falling for the spin.

Wackos on Culture Wars: ‘We’ve Won!’

Sam Smith & Kim Petras Deliver Fiery Performance of "Unholy" | 2023 GRAMMYs

No, I did not watch the Grammy Awards last night. So I missed MSNBC’s “Joy” Reid saying “The culture wars are over and The Left won!” (https://dailycaller.com/2023/02/06/joy-reid-ron-desantis-grammys-culture-war/).

Yeah. Oh, boy–Satanism! Oh, boy–sodomy! Oh, boy, wow–diversity,equity, and inclusion! On behalf of all this great stuff, Reid celebrated “the total defeat” of conservatism. “They can’t win!”

The ratings for this monstrosity were up 30% from last year. I don’t know why; but I strongly suspect that it does not mean that the American people have embraced the Far Left Crazy. I don’t know how the Left gets away with continually and even obsessively provoking us, but I’m pretty sure most of us have not switched sides.

The Left thinks it’s won the culture wars.

I pray it’s the beginning of their collapse. Meanwhile, I’m still fighting.

 

‘The Christian and the Cultural Wars’

I have to go vegetate in the veterinarian’s waiting room, but first let me post this Chalcedon editorial by Mark Rushdoony, from 2004:

Christ’s command to “Occupy until I come” (Luke 19:13) should have been the church’s watchword–and ours, too, individually.

Because we didn’t occupy, the ungodly came out of the woodwork and occupied our culture; and we’re having a very hard time holding on to the little bit they’ve left us.

Work harder. Pray harder. Sing louder. And proclaim the truth.

‘Winsome? We’re Supposed to be Winsome?’ (2015)

Some Christians are always advising the rest of us to be “winsome” as we try to save our civilization from being melted down and turned into slag by leftids. I dunno, maybe it’s just sour grapes on my part: when I try to be winsome, the effect is invariably grotesque.

I”m sorry to have to say it, but I’ve learned the hard way that you just can’t be nice to certain people. It only encourages them to do their worst.
