How American Conservatives happily forge the chains of American Socialism
Memes, themes, and the like have become all the rage in this little blip of time known as the social media era. Everything from kittens to politics is now often presented in short, high-octane bursts able to quickly inspire everything from hysterical laughter at what the cute, cuddly little kitties are doing, to burning outrage at what […]
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 […]
Happy Labor Day, Wage Slave. (Be sure to run faster and chase harder after the “money” that your masters make out of thin air.)
How do you destroy the beauty of labor? How do you so radically corrupt every fundamental of economics that everything from investment and business practices to the work ethic itself is left in smoldering ruin? How do you take such wonderful concepts as hard work, wise investing, and the pursuit of material prosperity – each of which […]
US raises terror threat level to “Orwellian”. Citizens line up to hand over more freedoms.
What does it look like when the people of a land abandon the Gospel and openly oppose the Great Commission of the Church to “make disciples of all the nations” and teach those disciples to do all that the Lord has commanded in His perfect Word? What does it feel like to live in a land captivated […]
Politics, Religion, and the Threat of Spontaneous Combustion
Remember when all the really bad hypotheticals were still hypotheticals? Ah, those were the good ol’ days…days when America was merely on the verge of moral implosion, heading toward the brink of socio-economic collapse, and so on. Now we’re there. We have imploded morally and we are on the brink of total socio-economic darkness. The really bad hypotheticals of just a generation past – at least most of them – aren’t hypothetical anymore. (click on the above graphic or headline link to read the article)
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 […]
Problem>Reaction>Solution – Why we will beg to have our freedoms taken away and go to war forever.
Ever wonder how it is that most “conservative Christians” have been so successfully morphed into enthusiastic tools to help bring about an increasingly socialistic, Orwellian State? Ever wonder why it is that many so-called conservatives in America are now openly socialistic in practice when it comes to everything from Social Security and Medicare to Medicaid […]
Our Murderous Hypocrisy: How America is “outraged” by ISIS…while strangely comfortable with mass baby butchering at home.
Though we are rightly horrified and reasonable in our anguished howls of outrage at the great and graphic evil unfolding in Syria and Iraq, there’s something peculiar about our “outrage”. Something foul. Something hypocritical to the point of vulgarity. We understandably clamor for immediate and decisive military intervention to “save the children” and others […]
Adolescence is a Big Fat Lie
Did you know that 18-year-olds are not children? They’re not kids. Well, they’re not supposed to be anyway…however much the typical American 20-something male might seem to be living evidence of the contrary. They may well be the children and kids of their parents, and those parents are always going to lovingly consider them in […]
Sin? We have a pill for that.
In a week dominated by discussions of depression, darkness, and despair in the wake of Robin Williams’ suicide, there’s been surprisingly little talk about another related and seemingly relevant d-word item: Drugs. As in “legal prescription medications”. As in very widely used and incredibly lucrative legal prescription medications. In the aftermath of Mr. Williams’ death […]
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 […]
POLL: What should the American military do about the systematic mass murder and dismemberment of American children on American soil?
What should the American military do about the mass murder and dismemberment of American children on American soil? Nothing? Whatever it takes? Something in between? cast your vote through the linked headline and picture above…it’s “the American way”!
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 […]
The America Idol (Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Almighty State)
I don’t know about you, but I’m not at all into the idea of bending over at the airport so that the TSA can check my underwear for al-Qaeda. Particularly when the Southern border is swung wide open and anyone able to hop, skip, or giggle their way across the border gets an American taxpayer-funded […]
POLL: Was supporting ISIS a good investment for America?
Was ISIS a good investment for America?
Were the Neo-Cons right?
Was Obama right?
Are we better of with folks like ISIS raping, pillaging, and decapitating their way across the Middle Eastern countryside?
Is the “land of the free” and the home of the NSA benefiting from those murderous rampages?
Yes? No? Maybe?
Make your voice heard! Vote now…it’s the American way…
Why We Murder Our Children
This is a continuation, or Part 2, of yesterday’s post, “Our Murderous Narcissism”. (Click here to read Part 1.) “Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.” ~ Adolf Hitler “If we accept that a […]
Our Murderous Narcissism
Five years ago I wrote the book Fire Breathing Christians and launched this blog. Feeling a little nostalgic the other day, I decided to thumb through the manuscript again. While I had a good time with that for a bit, I soon found myself stuck on a chapter about the murder of innocent children for convenience in America by […]
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 […]
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 […]
American Culture Speaks: Iconic celebrity addresses the relationship between women, work, and family.
With the hope of better understanding the culture by which we have been defined and for which America now evangelizes the world (including its own children), the following quote promoting a “news” piece published earlier today is presented without additional comment for your consideration: “My mom taught us we CAN have it all!” ~ Kim Kardashian […]
American “Freedom Fighting” Tool Sledgehammers Jonah’s Tomb
As reported by many sources today, including The Daily Mail, ISIS militants have taken a sledgehammer to Jonah’s tomb in Iraq’s Nineveh province. You can click here for the whole sad, but not very surprising story. This same ISIS was just months ago the object of support and encouragement from none other than the powers that control “the […]
American Pride and Romans 1 Cheeseburgers.
Burger King Sells Gay Pride Whopper. That’s the title of an article posted Tuesday at USA Today. Not. Even. Kidding. But should we really be surprised? I mean, hasn’t corporate America been pushing “the gay pride whopper” in various ways for a very looooooooong time now? So why not in burger form, then? Seems reasonable enough…in […]
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 […]
Prancing Ponies, Bible Belt Satanists, and America’s Proud Rebellion
. . . At this moment in our history, our unique claim to fame is that, when it comes to sheer size and scale of blasphemy and idolatry, there has never in all of human history been a greater, more boastful spiritual whore than America. There’s not even a close second, really, though one could make the case for Old Testament Israel being the closest thing to a competitor for this particular award.
What makes America truly untouchable in this contest isn’t just the globe-spanning scope and influence of her rank prostitution. It’s the fact that she does it all while mouthing her “love for Jesus” that makes it a truly unique and bone chilling horror. This combo gives allows her to coast to the easiest of wins where the gold medal for rebellion is concerned.
But hey, if you’re gonna do something, be the best at that thing, right?
And in America, if there’s one thing we know, it’s that we’re #1!
Why Settle for the Lesser Evil? (Sample Chapter from “Stupid Elephant Tricks – The Other Progressive Party’s War on Christianity”)
“Why Settle for the Lesser Evil?” Now there’s a campaign slogan you don’t see every day, at least not yet. (continued)
Obama Administration Shock, Awe and Anger…at U.S. General Stanley McChrystal
In an article appearing in today’s Telegraph, advisors close to President Obama were said to be “shocked and angered” by a recent speech given by General Stanley McChrystal.
“The relationship between President Barack Obama and the commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan has been put under severe strain by Gen Stanley McChrystal’s comments on strategy for the war.
Candy Christianity: A Kinder, Gentler God (Part 2 of 4)
As the origin and object of all that is good, He alone is worthy of glory. The harmony here is both apparent and essential to Christianity. If we believe that God is the author and objective of every good thing, then it is impossible to conceive of a valid justification for the assignment of glory – any glory – to anyone other than Him. He is the beginning and the end – the alpha and omega – of all that is good.
Enter: Pride. The hand that claims honor for any self outside of Him; the wide and welcoming gateway through which all other evil marches.
Candy Christianity: The Devil’s Favorite Flavor (Part 3 of 4)
The god of this permissive kingdom is not necessarily to be feared. He is neither holy nor sovereign. He is open to interpretation and just as open to your input. He changes and grows. He is the author of many truths. Many paths lead to him. He will be your savior if you feel the need for one, but he need never be your lord.
And he absolutely loves “Girls Gone Wild, Bible Style”.
Washington: Can You Hear Us Now?
What a difference a day makes. A day when somewhere around two million strong decide to march on the nation’s capitol, that is.
As the masses mobilized, the Statist media went into a tizzy and liberal activist from coast to coast scurried about trying to tag the millions of liberty-loving American protesters as everything from unenlightened and reactionary to hateful and (of course) racist.
The Day the Left Stood Still
In the morning hours of September 11th, 2001, America changed.
For many of the nation’s people, the change was permanent. It was forever. For others, those of the perpetual “move on” mantra, the transformative events of that day were to be forgotten as quickly as possible.
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]!”
