Dreher -- Christians Still Losing

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/drowning-cultural-conservatism-benedict-option/

A good article that also links to other good articles .. largely just "keeping it around", well worth the time to read! 

Note well: normalizing homosexuality is not causing this, exactly, but normalizing homosexuality does require institutionalizing the Sexual Revolution, which negates what traditional Christianity teaches about sexual morality. People who think they can have Christianity and the Sexual Revolution are surrendering Christianity, whether they realize it or not. 

"Trads" are traditional Christians: "So, to return to the point of this post: not only are we Trads losing ground, the culture in which we are embedded both actively and passively trains young people to reject their religion," 

Lots of Christians, (sometimes including me) want to believe that "the courts will save us if we just get a conservative majority". There is always hope ... however:

In a society in which we cannot agree on what is good, how can we agree on what is a compelling interest?

Robert Kraft, Why Are There Prostitutes In The Bible?

https://nypost.com/2019/04/21/why-bob-krafts-ordeal-should-alarm-us-all/

The NY Post is not my usual sort of source, however, in this case, they might be the only one that will touch this sort of story.

Clearly the MSM elite desires Robert Kraft to be crucified -- He has remained friendly to Trump just because Trump was kind to him when his wife died. That kind of "misplaced loyalty"  is naturally something that needs to be purged from society! Thou shalt be loyal ONLY to "The Party" (D) and the elites which it serves!

So Kraft appears to have been paying for sex -- and apparently NOT paying for sex from some sort of "sex slaves" as we have been told. In these days of complete lack of "prudishness" relative to sexual urges in the case of out of wedlock sex (unless the person is a Republican), gay sex, or various confusions on gender, what is the "appropriate attitude" relative to the ancient practice of males paying for sex?

As a Christian, the list of prohibitions relative to sex is quite long, however the Bible is WAY SHORT of being "prudish" in the least. We aren't going to give chapter and verse here, but incest, bestiality, sending your daughters out for gang rape, rape unto death, taking a prostitute as a wife, father and son "sharing" a woman ... all are covered, including some rather beautiful "near porn" in Song of Solomon. "Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies."

Prostitution is almost certainly the oldest profession, a basic exchange of quid quo pro. Certainly it is a Biblical sin, however it is merely one form of "lust/act", of which there are MANY, given:

1 John 2:15-17 "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever."

The left has declared Biblical sin to be not be sin at all, but in fact to be admired -- consumerism, envy, pride, homosexuality, infant sacrifice to the god of convenience, adultery, etc are all generally to be celebrated as long as they are committed by liberals. 

For the left, those who refuse to bow at the altar of "progressivism" (whatever the left declares right TODAY) have  committed their original sin, and are therefore "condemned sinners" -- any act by those so condemned is judged as "filthy rags" -- clearly, including such formerly natural acts as seeking sexual gratification from a prostitute. 

There are prostitutes in the Bible because they are real -- reality is in the Bible. In the universe of "progressivism", reality is exactly what they say it is at any moment, and there is absolutely no requirement for it to be universally applied, or consistent in any manner.  

Impeachment Farce

Good article on how foolish and dangerous this coup attempt is.

Fauxahontis On "Marriage"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/warrens-same-sex-marriage-quip-captures-what-some-find-exciting--and-others-distressing--about-her/2019/10/11/f3e15a14-ec34-11e9-85c0-85a098e47b37_story.html?wpisrc=nl_most&wpmm=1

Much like Hillary (irredeemable deploreables), Fauxahontis seems determined to give up the moderate vote in order to cater to the bulk of what the Democrat party has become.

At least she and Beto are being honest ... collect all the guns, drop tax exempt status to organizations that don't bow at the altar of gay "marriage" (soon / currently? to be any combination of 57 "genders")  ... and then? Well "progress" would require the next step because it is ALWAYS moving "forward" ... my guess us legalization of sex with minors. If they are mature enough to change their sex, how can they not be mature enough to consent to sex?

How long before anyone that doesn't follow their agenda must be "re-educated"?

Gays For Biology

The level of confusion engendered by the insistence that gayness is immutable and gender is fluid is impossible to overstate. The linked article really just expands on the confusion.

If this sounds like a massive overreach, consider the fact that the proposed Equality Act — with 201 co-sponsors in the last Congress — isn’t simply a ban on discriminating against trans people in employment, housing, and public accommodations (an idea with a lot of support in the American public). It includes and rests upon a critical redefinition of what is known as “sex.” We usually think of this as simply male or female, on biological grounds (as opposed to a more cultural notion of gender). But the Equality Act would define “sex” as including “gender identity,” and defines “gender identity” thus: “gender-related identity, appearance, mannerisms, or characteristics, regardless of the individual’s designated sex at birth.”

Under the sought after definition, apparently "sex" as in Male or Female would essentially cease to exist -- "nature" as in what sexual parts you happen to have is not a factor. It is ALL about how you "identify".  Needless to say, this offends homosexuals -- they are really attached to immutably being attracted to their own biological sex! 

So, here we see a gay man defending biology. 

The Leftist Media Drumbeat

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/10/the-media-factor.php

Just a better than average example of how the leftist media acts as full time unpaid Democrat propaganda. When people talk about "getting big money out of politics", what they are really advocating is total surrender to the left.

They already have the bulk of the media, the universities, and the administrative state.

The Mueller debacle showed us that Democrats and their allies the Deep State worked to interfere with the 2016 election, and then -- starting with the day after the election, have ceaselessly worked to overturn it.

Naturally, any investigation of their activities is at least impeachable in their eyes, and extremism in the defense of leftism is to duty of all non deplorables! 

Trump Turns Down Mud Wrestling Invite

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/10/trump-refuses-to-participate-in-impeachment-farce.php

Good summary if the "impeachment" version of the witch hunt (the sequel to Russiagate). The Ds pushed to have Trump nominated because they were certain that having him as the nominee would be the end of the Republican party. They expected total control of all branches of government in addition to the all powerful Deep State and a soon to be leftist packed SCOTUS. Lefty heaven!

Since they were as sure of this plan as they are of global warming, a semi-conscious person would wonder just a bit how competent they are.

What us clear at this point is that they are not willing to allow the duly elected president to govern unless he is a de-facto Democrat like W!

They may still get to their objective, it is likely only a matter of time. At least some of their cards are more visible now -- Beto made it clear that they WILL collect the guns as soon as they have enough power. If they can get a majority on the SCOTUS, the Electoral College is history, and likely the two senators per state as well -- in which case, why bother with a Senate at all ? ND, SD,WY, MT,NB would maybe get ONE!

America died with the election of BO -- Trump has at least slowed the rotting of the corpse!
