America’s “freedom” to murder children and worship false gods.

  Child sacrifice is about as ugly – and as American – as it gets. With “we the people” as god in practice, and Christ the King utterly disregarded whenever His crystal clear commands conflict with the desires, traditions and feelings that god, we have for generations been proudly set upon on a sure path to the wildest […]

From Post-Christian America to Post-America Christianity

  How necessary is America to Christ? How necessary is America to Christians? How submissive to Christ as King is the modern American Corporate State? How has the pervasive, unquestioned Christian adoration of America been manipulated by those atop the U.S. Super State in order to distract, distort, and redirect Christian energy toward building and strengthening an increasingly obvious anti-Christian kingdom […]

American Culture as the American Church’s Report Card

In light of the Gospel-fueled Great Commission of Jesus Christ (see: Matthew 28), the present condition of the American culture can be rightly described as a “report card” for the professing Christian church in America. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore […]

The Serpent’s Ongoing Education (and Control) of the “Bible Belt”

    So there I was, sitting through the second of two similar Tennessee State House hearings on the subject of education, in which Marc Tucker addressed two different Education Committees, when it hit me (again). The “it” in question was this: We apparently have no idea as to what education is, much less what a […]

Zero percent interest and how today’s young were sold into slavery.

Year after year (and especially in election years), we hear the same bold, clear warnings and moaning from a political class trying to keep us on board with their program for just one…more…election… We hear it from the Left. We hear it from the Right. Both mouths of the two-headed dragon speak in harmony. “Future generations […]

Finger Puppet Soup and the War in Ukraine

  Rosie will be two in March, and some of her favorite things in the known universe are “hot soup” and “fingapuppets”. So it should come as no surprise that she found a way to combine the two. “Hot soup” has been a Rosie fave ’round here for a long time now. Watching mommy make things […]

Loving America by Killing the America Idol, Part II

If the conflation of Christianity with America has indeed been one of the most effective tools for the advance of Statism (as discussed in Part I), and if the “America Idol” has been enshrined and worshiped for generations now even by most professing “conservative Christians” in our land, then it stands to reason that there would be many clear, […]

Loving America by Killing the America Idol

The conflation of Christianity with America has become one of the most effective tools of Statists in corralling, co-opting, and controlling the “conservative” masses here in the “land of the free” and the home of the NSA. I was reminded of this when I recently bumped into a Tea Party advocate manning a small display at […]

How “free public schools” make us all renters from the State.

Remember when you could actually own a home in America? The answer is: No, you do not. Even if you think that something like true home ownership was recently or is presently allowed here in “the land of the free” and the home of the NSA, you are simply wrong. As with most of the […]

Inflation Kills. Purposefully.

Inflation kills. It enslaves. And purposefully so. As Christians, we’ve been called and equipped with God’s essential, life-defining Word on all things, including economics. As such, and as a part of our Great Commission mandate to make disciples who do all that He has commanded (see: Matthew 28), we ought to take a look at the […]

Our Love of Money and Child Sacrifice

“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.” ~ 1 Timothy 6:10 This passage, as many, tends to suffer from one (or some combination) of three treatments at the hands of people […]

€ndgame: The Death of Oil, Banks, Bailouts, and Bondage

There’s little doubt that sub-$2 gas at the pump is a beautiful thing to many, and for good reason. For those struggling to exist under the purposefully increasing weight of a system designed to drive the average person ever deeper into the arms (and control) of the emerging Orwellian American Corporate State, “cheap gas” is […]

How to Kill the Two-Headed Dragon (Before it Finishes Killing Us)

  It’s “State of the Union” season in America, that special time when each head of the anti-Christian Progressive dragon that is enslaving and devouring us more with each passing day takes a moment to tell us what’s going on, why it’s happening, and how wonderful it’ll all be in the end. In tonight’s installment, […]

Congress is Christian! Woohoo!

What if Americans overwhelmingly chose Christians to represent them in government? What if the United States federal government from the very tippy top on down was overwhelmingly comprised of Christians? Well guess what? It is! Yessiree, it’s true: According to a recent survey by Pew Research, nearly 92% of the incoming United States Congress is Christian. How […]

Decentralization and our Christian duty to confront the economic rape of civilization.

Decentralization. It’s a good thing. A great one, actually, especially from where we stand now. The increasing unbiblical centralization of power in the hands of an unbelieving (read: “anti-Christian”) elite is one of the defining trends of American history. All of it. While developments along these lines have picked up steam in recent generations, the seeds […]

The Sony/America Puppet Show

So Sony supposedly got “hacked” by North Korea…or Russia…or China…or some combination of the three. That’s the story, anyway. Confidential emails were subsequently leaked, relationships were compromised, and, ultimately, the opportunity for an apparently horrifyingly unfunny “comedy” (The Interview) to flop in a conventional manner was scuttled when it was pulled from conventional release as […]

The slow boil and economic rape of the biblically illiterate.

What if God was real? I mean really real…not just “real to you” or “real to me” or some other self-centered silliness. What if He was not only real, but had spoken…with clarity and in detail? What if this actual, real God had spoken with detailed clarity as to how certain areas of life and […]

Torture for Terrorists + Christians as Terrorists = Torture for Christians

[5/16/15: As open hostility toward biblical Christianity in America continues to ramp up, and with the enforced culture-wide embrace of sexual perversion building momentum, this seems like a useful post to revisit.] Okay, let’s see if we can connect the dots here: “Terror” is what the State and its tools tell us it is. It’s what ISIS, al-Qaeda, […]

How American “Christianity” leads to Statism.

It is so very cool to have true Christian Family preserved throughout God’s creation of time and through whom we might learn of His perfect plan and purpose for His creation. . It’s also so very cool to have a loving, God-fearing wife who is interested in chasing after the life-preserving truths shown by the grace of God to […]

“God-given rights” are only as legit as the god giving them.

  How many times have we heard (or even been) someone with little or no regard for God going on and on and on with a passionate description and defense of their “God-given rights”? We have the “right” to this, the “right” to that, and the “right” to the other thing over there. We can (and will) go […]

The Republican amnesty “collapse” is on.

There’s nothing like a good puppet show…at least when everyone is clear that what they’re watching is, in fact, a puppet show. Parroted lines and contrived plots can be fun in the proper context. Otherwise, they’re pretty much disastrous. Which brings us to 2014 America, where the Republican/Democrat Two-Step-to-Statism Show has been going on for […]

The (unintended) truth of “No justice, no peace!”

“No justice, no peace!” In America, this means, “Do what we want or we will burn, pillage, and destroy.” It is the threat of lawlessness…offered under cover of justice. And it serves as a nice summary of just where American culture is when it comes to law, order, and peace. As we’ve touched on more than a […]

Islamic worship in American government? Sure. Why not?

Is America all about the freedom to worship any god? Of course! Does America – including the vast majority of its self-identified “conservative Christians”  – hold up this “right” as a great and civilization-defining virtue worthy of emulation by all other people in all other lands? Of course! Then what’s the matter with an Islamic Imam formally […]

How did Christians destroy conservatism?

  How did we end up with “conservatives” defending everything from Social Security and Medicare to State-controlled children’s “education”, which is straight out of the Communist Manifesto? How did we get a supposedly “right wing” political movement in America that is effortlessly molded and mobilized in support of one explicitly Socialist/Marxist policy after another, all while most of its […]

Why should we stay biblically balanced through political tidal waves?

I must admit to having had a giddy good time of it last night, watching Democrat after Democrat fall. It was an absolute blast. Even better, as a Tennessee resident who had the opportunity to support the “Yes on 1” campaign, it was thrilling and gratifying to see that amendment pass, allowing for my Bible-belt […]

How do we stop America’s voter-assisted suicide?

  It’s Election Day in America, and all the familiar gears, wheels, and tools of propaganda are in full motion. The (mostly) controlled game is on and the (mostly) contrived drama is thick. “Will the Republicans be returned to power in the Senate?” “Will the Democrats be taught a painful lesson?” “Will the country be saved […]

How do we bring politics back from the dead?

  So here we go again… Tomorrow is Election Day in America. Republicans are expected to do very well, almost assuredly re-taking the Senate and extending their majority lead in the US House of Representatives. But will this mean the end – or even the beginning of the end – of Socialism in America? Nope. […]

Ebola is an STD? So what? We have ObamaCare!

We Americans are indeed a very funky people. Unfortunately, almost all of our funkiness is of the bad sort these days. As we covered earlier this month, 110 million Americans have an STD at any given moment. That’s over one third of our population. Clearly, generations of State-controlled education and corporate-controlled pop-culture are paying off. […]

Oops! We “accidentally armed ISIS”…again…

Hot on the heels of a report earlier this week that we had “accidentally” fueled ISIS with humanitarian aid, we get word that we have also “accidentally” supplied them with arms and ammo…again. “At least one bundle of U.S. weapons airdropped in Syria appears to have fallen into the hands of ISIS. . .” Nice. […]

Will we worship America and protect Islam or will we worship God and defeat it?

Everything in God’s creation is constantly about the business of validating His nature as revealed in His Word. Everything. “There is not one single, solitary maverick molecule in the universe”, as R.C. Sproul might say. All of creation belongs to God and it is all in the process – even at this very moment – […]

What do Barack Obama and Joel Osteen have in common…with George W. Bush?

Barack Obama. Joel Osteen. Barack Obama…Joel Osteen… Now what could these two possibly have in common? Hrmmmm… Maybe the better question to many of us would be to ask what they don’t have in common. After all, for those of us with a biblical worldview and the naturally following conservative political bent, we tend to view these men in […]

Are we all Socialists now?

Way back in ’09, which, in light of all the wackiness that has transpired since then, sure does seem to be an eternity ago, Newsweek published We Are All Socialists Now as its cover story. This was an interesting statement and makes for a interesting question, both then and now. As with any statement or question […]

The Obacalypse continues…but are we any closer to repentance?

Last month, in Obacalypse Now: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Wicked Leadership in Romans 1 America, we covered things like ISIS, Ebola, the emerging Orwellian NSA State, our teetering Monopoly Money economy, and the aggressive homosexualization of the culture. You know, the basics of our culture’s hopey-changey vibe of the moment. In just the few weeks that […]

110 million proud Americans have STDs. Now that’s Progressive!

  According to a CDC report cited earlier this week by CBS, 110 million Americans have an STD at any given moment. Since America is estimated to have a round 316-319 million people, that means that around 34% – or just over one third – of the entire population has a sexually transmitted disease. How awesome is […]

Too big to fail and too big to jail.

  Ever wonder why it is that folks who make the most mind-numbingly moronic economic decisions on the most grand, globally impactful scale, tend to barely suffer any sort of meaningful personal consequence for their world shaking acts of stupidity? Every wonder why certain people, businesses, corporations, and governments can again and again and again […]

Are people who cannot dissolve a political union really free?

In the wake of Scotland’s recent spirited attempt at leaving the “United Kingdom”, many folks have been inspired to ask and contemplate some important fundamentals regarding true freedom, liberty, and the decentralization of government. Separating from the binding controls of large and ever-growing socialistic states has great appeal to many, including most who hold to […]

Fiat $lavery: We have been bought and paid for…with nothing.

  You are owned. You are someone else’s unearned possession. You are the controlled commodity of sinful, self-serving men and women. And so am I. We are in the same camp together. We are slaves to the same masters. This is inescapably true for the most obvious of reasons; so obvious and so painful that we can […]

Enemy of the Statist: Christ-Centered Liberty vs. Man-Centered Tyranny

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole […]

Openly Reject God’s First Commandment? YES! WE! CAN!

  Imagine, if you will, Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton (though not necessarily together – we don’t wanna be too fantastic here), John Kerry, Stuart Smalley, Joe Biden and Bill Maher all gathered ‘round the base of ol’ Mount Sinai as Moses brings down the following decree to man directly from the mind and hand of […]

Everybody Expects…The Liberal Inquisition!

  “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!” This was the launch phrase for my favorite recurring skit on Monty Python’s Flying Circus. In most of its appearances, The Inquisition would intrude suddenly on unrelated sketches in which one character, expressing frustration with another, would announce “I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition!” Right on cue, the Inquisition […]

Need (another) war? No sweat! Just play The Hitler Card.

As global economic foundations continue to crack and crumble, this sort of thing is just gonna happen…again and again. War, war, and more war. Enemies here, there, and everywhere. Of course, we fund, fuel, and train most of those enemies, but let’s not stop to notice that. Nope. Nothing to see here… Just prior to Mitt Romney’s glorious Washington Post […]

Imagine there’s no borders…it’s easy if you try…

  What if I told you that the southern U.S. border crisis, the pending U.S. invasion of Syria, the ongoing murderous rampage of ISIS/Islamic State in Iraq, and the pending eruption of similar acts right here in the U.S. were all clearly and purposefully connected? Well, if you’re like me, you might be depressed (or […]

As St. Louis simmers, is America begging to be crushed under the wrath of God? YES! WE! ARE!

As we watch a heartland suburb simmer, boil, and erupt into violence between angry mobs of largely State-subsidized dependents and heavily militarized, State-subsidized “police”, it becomes harder and harder to go on pretending…but that doesn’t stop us from trying. We want to imagine that we are a “basically good” people who have only been led astray by […]

Why Americans don’t do repentance.

  As we watch with awe, wonder, frustration and disgust while the world (both figuratively and literally) burns around us, we as Americans tend to repeat some version of the “why can’t the world be more like us” line. We don’t necessarily phrase it quite that way most of the time, but the idea that’s been rammed home […]

It Takes a Village Idiot

It’s hard to know whether to laugh, cry, both, or just jump off the tallest available building when someone like MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry pops up to tell us how our children are communal property and that any contention to the contrary is, above all else, glaring evidence of stark raving racism. So with good ol’ Ms. […]

You might be a Socialist Republican if…

  You might be a Socialist Republican if…you routinely vote for candidates who have no intention of actually dismantling Social Security, Medicaid, and the rest of the Welfare State. You might be a Socialist Republican if…you are a fan of programs like Social Security and Medicaid. You might be a Socialist Republican if…you believe that State-controlled “education” of […]

Retarded by Design: The Mind Blowing Success of State-Controlled “Education”

“Public schools are a failure!” is one of the most thoroughly idiotic lines that we can ever let slip through our mouths as Christians. “But my school is different,” is another. “It’s filled with wonderful Christian teachers who pray all the time and go to good churches. They even preach the gospel by hidden code embedded in […]

Singing Sweet, Sweet Lies in the “Land of the Free” and the Home of the NSA

A.W. Tozer once said that “Christians don’t tell lies, they just go to church and sing them”. Sad and true as that observation may be, lying to one’s self by song is hardly an affliction unique to believers. It’s human nature to imagine that uncomfortable truths aren’t really true at all or, if they are, that […]

Tears of a Clown: How Republicans mourn the death of America…while making it happen.

  In The Crisis on the Border, published this week by The Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan dutifully resumes her well-worn role of conservative-ish Republican voice of reason/propaganda, showing us once again that at least some of the good folks in Republicanville are paying very close attention and are very, very, very concerned about our nation’s desperate and rapidly deteriorating condition. Yessiree, they […]

The Sweet Taste of Control: Why Americans Love Food Stamps

Republican, Democrat, liberal, and conservative American leaders agree: Soup lines Food stamps EBT Cards are awesome! And why are they awesome? ‘Cause dependence on the State is awesome, that’s why! Oh sure, most Left/Right leaders or activists won’t say it quite that way, but the remarkably similar actions of both major parties over the course of many long, painful […]

So even the Germans are creeped out by our Surveillance State.

  So even the Germans are creeped out by our Surveillance State. Nice. I mean, you’ve got to admit, that’s a pretty impressive thing we just did there. Way to go, ‘merica! [insert “U!-S!-A!” chant here] As The Washington Post reported today, Germany has formally requested that the US CIA station chief based in the country just go ahead […]

Corporate “Mark of the Beast” Rollout Continues

Here we go again… Today the Drudge Report posted a headline that read, CHASE Bank asks employees if they are “allies of the LGBT community”, which connected to a Breitbart article posted yesterday, entitled Second Employee Alleges Chase Bank Surveyed Staff’s LGBT Loyalty. Chronicling the steady rollout of corporate America’s “mark of the beast” style economic […]

Christ-less “Education”: It’s Pretty Gay

  Recent stories on “the horrors of public schools” (and there are always scores and scores of “recent stories” on this subject, aren’t there?) can be hard to stomach. Very hard to stomach, but not because of the particular details contained in any single incarnation of these never-ceasing, ever-increasing, seemingly omnipresent State-controlled “education” horror stories, but because people – […]

Intro to Fire – The Power and Purpose of a Common Believer (Excerpt from “Fire Breathing Christians”)

This has been a long time in the making, but the day has finally come…

Posted here is the introduction from Fire Breathing Christians – The Common Believer’s Call to Reformation, Revival, and Revolution. The book will be released in late October. In the days leading up to launch, I will be posting excerpts from many of its 21 chapters so that you might get a feel for the material without having to go to the trouble or expense of purchasing a copy. Of course, if you like what you see, I fully expect you to buy at least three copies.

The Brilliance of Corpseman Obama

Corpseman Obama has a plan. And it’s working. (In the progressive sense of “working”.)

Sure, he may not be the brightest bulb in the pack, but he’s still The One and can at least usually read accurately from a teleprompter. When he does, his message is clear:

He’s all about expanding the slave state in America.

Don’t Mind Bubba; It’s Just the Syphilis Talking

While Democrat Presidents still can’t seem to bring themselves to identify the “Allahu Akbar!” shouting, American soldier massacring Nidal Malik Hasan as an Islamic terrorist, they exhibit far less restraint when it comes to dealing with those who would dare oppose the rise of an almighty state in America. As the health care debate roared on, at least one adored Democrat leader didn’t hesitate to tag tens of millions of American patriots, including millions of veterans, as “tea-baggers”, a pejorative term normally associated with preferred activities of the Bawny Fwank/Keith Olbermann wing of the Statist movement.

Apparently, this is what “progressive” leadership sounds like.

Obama Youth Continue Socialism Sing-Along

Another day, another gaggle of kiddos paraded about to sing their programmed praises of Statism and its messianic advocate-in-chief, Barack Hussein Obama.

On the up side, this installment of Obamaism praise and worship was orchestrated in a private school setting.

On the down side, this installment of Obamaism praise and worship was orchestrated in a private school setting.

Change for America, Jackass Style – The Democrat Party’s War on Christianity

The chosen symbol of the Democrat Party offers a compelling testimony both to God’s providential hand and His perfect sense of humor.

It also syncs well with a party broadly committed to legalized infanticide, the legitimization of homosexuality and open war upon the God-ordained institutions of marriage and family. From this launching point, little things like voter-fraud, child prostitution or the state’s corruption of the arts for the purpose of pushing “progressive” propaganda seem like no-brainers. When you think like this jackass, the ends justify the means.

Any means.

Sprechen Sie Propaganda?

The One and his disciples have been quite ambitious in their efforts to bring change to America. Nowhere has their zealotry been more evident than in their desire to co-opt and employ federally funded arts programs for the purpose of advancing the Statist cause.

Everybody Expects…the Liberal Inquisition! (Part 2)

On April 29th, 2004, Canada’s governor general signed into law a measure that criminalized public expression in opposition to homosexual behavior, officially categorizing some orthodox Christian beliefs, when verbalized publically, as “hate speech”.

Welcome to the hopey, changey world of tolerance and inclusiveness, Perez Hilton style.

The Scarlet ‘R’

Every protest of the “progressive” agenda is fundamentally fueled by pervasive racism in America…or so the Liberal Inquisition would have you believe. Any expression of even the slightest suspicion regarding President Obama, Obamacare, Obama pals like Charlie Rangel or ACORN is immediately tagged as racially motivated.

Everybody Expects…the Liberal Inquisition!

By now, everybody expects the Liberal Inquisition. Before one can even finish the thought preceding any pronouncement critical of anything “progressive”, they must resign themselves to the knowledge that, should they actually let their politically incorrect words fly, they will be branded.

The Scarlet R will be upon them.

Crushed Nuts: How ACORN Got Trampled by the “Racist” Stampede

It’s enough to make Al Gore wish he’d never invented the Internet.

Earlier today, BigGovernment.com broke the story that ACORN had suspended operations. This after the same just-launched website broke story after story exposing the top-to-bottom, coast-to-coast corruption of the organization.

Embrace the Marxist Rebellion Against God? YES! WE! CAN!

The Marxist taproot feeding the tree of Progressive Christianity and the contemporary American Democrat Party is, in its wanton repudiation of the Sovereign of Scripture and His Holy Word, a satanic stronghold and an affront to Christ. It is a clear and present danger to His church. Its complete destruction must be a conscious goal of every biblically submissive Christian.

Create a Godless Nation? YES! WE! CAN!

The people of Martin Luther’s Reformation became the nation of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich in much the same way that the people of the American Revolution have become the nation of Barack Obama’s “Yes We Can [insert whatever you like here]!”

Hope, Change and the Creepy Face of American Socialism

What a difference seven and a half months makes. In that short span of time Americans have witnessed a political plunge unparalleled since the days of the post-Watergate Ford administration. The untouchable icon of political progressivism that was Barack Hussein Obama has become something less.

Much less.

The One from on high has been brought low. The great, articulate (and clean, even) Agent of Change has been exposed as little more than an arrogant, oblivious advocate of most tired and failed policies of the past.

And what brought about this radical shift? What happened to inspire this Jeckyll-to-Hyde revelation in the eyes of most Americans?

Government.

Obama style.

Messiah to Address Obama Youth Directly on Tuesday

By focusing on the most malleable, defenseless and controlled of American minds, The One hopes to reclaim political momentum and combat the ungrateful, ignorant masses who have recently risen in vocal opposition to his plans for socialized medicine in America.
