THE HARD LOT OF THE LEFTIST

   Well, admittedly I didn't pay much attention to the recent Democratic Party Debate. My feeling was that I could probably get about the same effect by watching old Soviet Propaganda videos; except that the latter wouldn't have been as boring. In the typical fashion of the modern NPC Democrat, the watchword of the hour is: outrage. Liberals rarely known why they're outraged; they simply are because their leaders are mad, so they should be too. 


   So, while back in the Big City this weekend, I spotted a fellow who looked like a typical Democrat voter:


  And decided to interview him on the problems faced by Liberals in today's America. 

  "Glad you asked me that," he replied. "Cuz' tomorrow's the 1st, and that's a busy day!"

  "How so?"

  "Well, first I have to pick up my welfare check. Then I have to go to the legal pot store and buy some dope with my Medical Marijuana Subsidy."


  "Then I gotta check with the landlord and make sure he got my Section 8 Housing Voucher for July. Then it's the food stamps---got to go the grocery store and get some food and stuff: they won't let you buy beer with those things...


 "After that, it's off to the Free Clinic to get my Obamacare meds. Sometimes, I gotta wait as long as 20 minutes. After After that, it's free lunch at the local Food Bank.


  "Then I have to go to the Public Library and use their free computers to print out some flyers. Then get my monthly Low-Income Bus Pass and take off."

  "So you're looking for a job?"

  "Jobs? What jobs? Why, I'm going Downtown to the Public Square to protest the whole stinkin' system that don't give guys like me a chance!"

  "I should have figured..." I sighed.

REFLECTIONS ON SO-CALLED 'PRIDE MONTH'

  After moving out to Trump Country recently, some business took me back to the Big City today, and I received the sickening sight of seeing the Rainbow Flag flying side-by-side by the National and State banners after disembarking the train. The whole city was awash in these revolting emblems; as if every business and government office was trying to outdo one another in displaying how 'gay-friendly' they were. Within my living memory people would go to great lengths to distance themselves from such behaviors. But the Media blitzkrieg---encouraged by the social gadflies in the Obama Administration---coined a neologism: 'homophobia' to shame and silence all opposition. The Ameroboobs and NPCs quickly picked up the meme although no one ever could define what it meant. Because in reality, it means nothing. 

   I had nearly forgotten that the 26th of June marked the 4-year anniversary of the disgraceful Supreme Court decision which nullified the entire meaning of marriage in the United States. On that infamous date, three Liberals, a Swamp RINO, and a fake Catholic voted by a 5-4 margin that homosexuals were a protected minority---the first time ever that an interest group representing a lifestyle choice was granted such a privilege. It's interesting that only a few years before that the American Psychological Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder by a similar one-vote margin. At the time, many of us were shocked by the Supreme Court decision since the Plaintiffs' arguments were utterly absurd and unconstitutional---as the dissenting judges clearly stated. Former Justice Antonin Scalia led the opposition and died under mysterious circumstances just a few months later. Such was life during the days of the Deep State.

   Of course, within the larger scheme of things, neither SCOTUS nor the APA can nullify the laws of Nature. Neither can Academia simply declare gender a matter of opinion with no basis in biology or psychology and make it true. In 2015, the Enemies of Civilization scoffed that no lightning fell from Heaven over the SCOTUS decision; but they forget that history has shown us again and again that many wicked ideologies were once in the ascendant but ended in disaster. And the self-styled 'Rainbow Pride Movement' will bring us to the same conclusion unless we work to defeat it.

   

   Our enemies were quick to inveigle themselves and their ideology into every corner of society, as the flag incident mentioned in our first paragraph symbolically shows. Christian businesses were sued over Rights of Conscience; parents were forbidden to seek medical or psychological help for their children who were sexually confused. Schools rushed to force homosexual ideology upon children too young to understand it; and even Corporate America turned the Gay Mafia loose on the little ones.


   This social blitz included Disney cartoons featuring homosexual love-scenes and has hit its nadir with Drag Queen Story Hours being promoted in public libraries and schools. But it's not really about grooming children---right????

  No, we're told, it's all about 'pride' and Civil Rights. We're told to celebrate in June (the traditional American month for weddings) to honor all the contributions that homosexuals have made to our culture. Let's take a moment to do that. 

   Homosexual infiltration in the Boy Scouts has led to over 12,000 cases of abuse and counting. Their infiltration into the Catholic Church has led to hundreds of cases of sexual abuse. The number of homosexual abuse cases in public schools and the military is unknown, but doubtless very high. Any institution where young men or boys are had a continual battle keeping these 'prideful' predators out. Today, of course, except for the Church---homosexual predators are openly welcomed in all of these organizations.

   Homosexuals have been quite prominent among our leading serial killers and mass-murderers. Klebold and Harris of Columbine infamy were homosexual lovers as were serial killers Henry Lee Lucas and his lover Otis Toole. Adam Lanza, the fiend behind Sandy Hook was exposed as both a homosexual and a pederast besides; Vester Flanigan---another mass-shooter was openly homosexual. Numerous school shootings were committed by students who allegedly were homosexual; Eliot Roger of Isla Vista infamy was clearly a latent homosexual---as evidenced by his Manifesto. The same is highly suspected of Anders Breivik. 

  John Wayne Gacy, Wayne Williams---the list could go on. The City of Seattle in 2013 elected its first (openly) homosexual mayor. He resigned in disgrace after allegations surfaced that he had drugged and raped several young men. Washington's first (openly) homosexual State legislator, Cal Anderson is alleged to have infected knowingly several young men with the AIDS virus. It used to be that the FBI kept such men on watch-lists, because their lovers were not infrequently recruited as spies for foreign governments. 

 This is what we're told to 'celebrate' and be proud of in June. Some 'contributions'. 

 If we hope to Make America Great Again, we need to restore pride in this:


 Instead of this:

NO CONTACT

    Blogger Cynthia Bailey had a good article up today about an issue very important to many in our dysfunctional postmodern culture. She writes a supportive article about people who---from necessity---have been compelled to sever ties with blood relatives for their own self-preservation. 

   There has been a strain of thought in our culture over the last 50 years that unconditional love is an entitlement regardless of whether or not that love is deserved. The Left has been mired in this 'universal love' ethos since the 1960s; which, of course, they've always practiced hypocritically. This is reflected in their nihilistic amorality which preaches that we should tolerate every behavior so long as it isn't civilized behavior; because (according to them) the latter represents 'hate', 'intolerance', and 'privilege'---all of which need to be destroyed at all costs.

   On the other extreme, we saw rationalizations for abusive behavior emerge during the 1980s and 1990s, with so-called 'Toughlove'. The Red Pill Cult, as exemplified in teachings of Dalrock, Vox Day, Rollo Tomassi, and others, teaches an equally amoral philosophy that women and children have a moral duty to accept and tolerate abuse. Even to complain about abuse is, to them, considered sinful and wrong.

   Cynthia ties the roots of this abuse to narcissism. I agree with this to a point. Narcissists are almost always abusers; but I would add to her theory that Cultural Narcissism is endemic in our society. That, of course, is a broader topic that would have to be addressed in a longer article, but well worth keeping in mind. The most important parts of her article are what she says about spiritual arguments:

  "You have every right to protect yourself from abuse from anyone, including your own parent.  There is nothing Godly or holy about tolerating abuse.  Nothing."

   I agree completely with this statement. There is a vast difference between Biblical concepts like submission and humility and their secular distortions of subjugation and humiliation---which both Leftists and Alt-RINOs preach in their stead. Aquinas taught that the moral choices we face in this world are not always between purely good and purely evil actions. This isn't the same as Moral Relativism, but a fact of life in a world where the Devil sows such confusion. God is not the author of confusion, and the primary duty of mankind is preservation of Life and the Soul. Thus, tolerating and enduring abusive relationships is wrong, while the Will of God is to escape it if possible. 

   Some may argue: 'Wait...isn't leaving an abusive situation also a selfish act?' The answer is a qualified yes; but it is selfishness to a higher purpose whereas narcissistic selfishness is entirely self-serving. One cannot serve two masters, either free yourself to serve God or remain to serve the abuser. The choice, then, is obvious. It's sad that more Christians fail to recognize this necessity.

DALROCK, THE INGRATE RED PILL

   The Manospherian Red Pill Cult blogger Dalrock claims to be many things that he clearly is not. One is that he is an expert on male-female relationships; the other is that he has any expertise in Christian doctrine. His recent attack on Mrs. Bill Gates is evidence of both deficiencies in his thinking. 

   Melinda Gates recently wrote a book on the challenges that she faces as the wife of the world's richest man. Dalrock sneers at the idea that her position poses any challenges at all. In his worldview---which is driven by the false philosophy of 'Game'---women really have no role in a relationship other than as sex dolls and egg donors to their husbands. Like most Gamers, he takes Feminist stereotypes of men as fact and encourages men behave in those ways.

   Marriage is a challenge under normal circumstances; but extraordinary circumstances put extraordinary challenges in the way. Marriage to a wealthy and powerful man is not something that the majority of women ever have to face. It may seem easy on the surface---but how many average women could stand up to the daily routine of someone like Melania Trump? It takes a lot more work than it seems. So why do they do it? Because (contrary to what both Feminists and Red Pills believe) a relationship is not a zero-sum game. 

   Dalrock has been writing lately about some stupid Feminist who said that women shouldn't show gratitude for what their husbands do. With their purely carnal instincts, Dalrock and the other Gamers displayed their ignorance by not recognizing that gratitude is an inherent part of love: that lovers' actions are merely the outward expressions of their internal attitudes. A man-hating Feminist thus resents offering gratitude to a man; a woman-hating Red Pill thinks himself entitled to it. Neither understand that gratitude is implicit in actions and not the consequence of such actions. Thus, Dalrock reasons on thi faulty logic that Melinda Gates should never feel challenged in her marriage simply because of the good material things that her husband provides for her. 

   And such defective logic leads to statements like this:

  "Complementarians are convinced that the solution to feminist discontentment is for husbands to do more.  If they work harder, do more housework, etc. wives will be content.  This isn’t a Christian perspective, but it is the Modern Christian perspective, and it is pure folly."

   First, Complimentarians don't do things for their spouses to cure 'Feminist discontentment." They do things for their spouses out of things like love, empathy, etc.---concepts of which the Red Pills are wholly ignorant. What he falsely describes as this 'solution' isn't the Modern Christian Perspective either. His whole statement in the above paragraph is a false dichotomy. 

  The Christian solution to Feminist discontentment is Christianity itself. When women reject Feminism and embrace their femininity, they realize their true God-given power. But that power compliments its masculine counterpart. And that spiritual component is what brings contentment more than any other issue in a marriage.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE LOUISIANA CHURCH BURNINGS

     Last April, Louisiana police apprehended a local loser named Holden Matthews in connection with a 10-day string of arson fires which destroyed three historic Baptist churches. The story generated a little interest from the Corporate Media at the time; since the churches were predominantly racially minority congregations and Matthews happened to be White. But the story has since dropped off the Media's radar screen altogether as details have emerged that Matthews' actions were targeting Christians. 

   Matthews' name came up again this Thursday, after the US Justice Department indicted him for violating the Church Arson Prevention Act, which has been law since 1996, but rarely enforced until the Trump Administration actually began enforcing laws protecting Christians again. 

   “Attacks against an individual or group because of their religious beliefs will not be tolerated in the Western District of Louisiana,” U.S. Attorney David C. Joseph stated. “Churches are vital places of worship and fellowship for our citizens and bind us together as a community.  Our freedom to safely congregate in these churches and exercise our religious beliefs must be jealously guarded. Today we are one step closer to justice for the parishioners of these churches and the St. Landry Parish communities affected by these acts. My office will continue to work diligently with our law enforcement partners to investigate and prosecute any type of hate crime.”

    Matthews was a member of a so-called Black Metal band, named Pagan Carnage. This genre of music originated in Europe during the 1990s, and is notoriously anti-Christian. Matthews himself produced songs about burning churches "in the name of Odin" (one of the Norse pagan deities). Federal Prosecutors found photographs that Matthews had taken of the fires with his own image in Black Metal attire superimposed over the scenes.

   "I want them to be scared."  Matthews commented on the photos. On an April 6th Facebook post, he stated that:  “ I can’t stand all these Baptists around here, bunch of brainwashed people trying to find happiness in a religion that was forced on their ancestors just as it was on mine. I wish more blacks people would look into ancient beliefs of pre-Christian Africa.”

   The Leftist Media Establishment---which had been blathering about the 'historically Black" churches being targeted---slipped away in silent shame after discovering that Matthews' views were fairly close to their own PC perspectives. 

   The point in this story that the Media completely missed is this: Attacks on Christian Churches are attacks on all Christians---regardless of their congregations' ethnicity. We are told by the Apostle John that we are 'one in Christ' and St. John makes it clear that this oneness is not in any way connected to our heredity. This is the same point that both the Media and the Obama Administration missed in the Dylan Roof Case. But the Trump Administration understands it.

  If convicted, Matthews could face up to 60 years in prison.

BLOGGING TO RESUME SOON

   Apologies to readers for all of the recent long delays between posts. We have been relocating to a new Base of Operations within the boundaries of good Red-State Trump Country. So new and improved services are on the horizon.


   Like our previous secret location, we are still on the scenic Pacific Coast:



 And still keeping up with stories of interest to broadcast far and wide:


  So stay tuned and we'll be back shortly...(just because we're in Trump Country now doesn't make the Internet service faster, unfortunately...)

TEDDY SPAGHETTI

   Internet bully and Manosphere Alpha-crank Vox Day has been having a rough time of it lately. The European Union torpedoed his attempt to infiltrate social networking in less than a week. His frivolous lawsuits against Gab and Indiegogo have stalled as well. Now, after expanding in vlogging, Vox has drawn the attention of a new batch of critics.

    Several vloggers, among them 'Revenge of the CIS',  'Nightwave Radio', and a programmer called '3DAL' have been giving Vox a substantial dose of his own medicine---exposing his crimes with a heavy dose of often risque humor. They've collectively created a meme for Vox which has gone viral: Teddy Spaghetti. 


   The nickname is a play on the title of some unsuccessful video game that Vox Day and his shill, Markku Koponen concocted called Hot Dish. The meme has caught such fire in the videosphere that Vox shut down comments on his Darkstream podcast and has sworn to ban anyone using references to spaghetti in the comments. Even Rational Wiki is listing 'Teddy Spaghetti' as one of Vox' aliases; and some colorful character on Change.org has a petition going to make the change legal. 

    Vox has been trying to pretend that none of this is effecting him or his cultish media empire, but the negative attention is putting a bite on the Supreme Dark Lord. And Vox' usual attempts to intimidate and threaten his critics is recoiling on him in a way that we haven't seen before. A good example happened in May, when Vox issued a veiled threat against Return of the CIS by relating a story of how he had "a handicapped man in Massachusetts dragged out of his grandmother's basement by the police and read the Riot Act," over alleged trolling. The contrast between Vox' posturing as a manly Alpha leader and such a despicable act of poltroonery didn't escape notice. That story went just about as viral as the Teddy Spaghetti meme. 

    There is considerable skepticism as to whether or not Vox' story is true. We don't doubt that he doxxed and tried to sic the police on a critic (it's the kind of thuggish tactic he's been known to do); but if the police in Massachusetts are anything like they are in California, Vox would have been put on a 'kook list' and any future reports from him handled accordingly. We did here search through various sources from Massachusetts but found nothing to corroborate Vox' story. Inventing falsehoods to inflate his own ego is also a standard Vox Day tactic. 



     Despite these humiliations, Vox was beating his chest again last week; denouncing his critics as 'Gammas' and boasting about surviving previous 'attacks'---most of which were also of his own making. And his followers were slavishly nodding their heads in full agreement, with one dork even comparing Vox' ordeals with the Passion of Christ!


       And yet they will still say that the Red Pill isn't a cult. Other comments reflected the real spirit of the Red Pills:

      
       And:


    This attitude is the logical conclusion of the false philosophy of Game, upon which the Red Pill Cult is based. Those who follow that path always end up becoming what they despise. 

     The Red Pill is a barbaric ideology and barbarians can only destroy, not build anything constructive. Vox' attempts to hijack livestream will fail; as all his previous infiltration attempts have.

CAN'T SUPPORT TRUMP ON THIS ONE

   Regular readers know that---outside of Middle East policy---we rarely disagree with the Trump Administration's positions on most issues. But on Saturday, the President issued a Proclamation which deserves open criticism. It's brief, so here it is in its totality:

    "As we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions that LGBT people have made to our great Nation, let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation. My Administration has launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality and invites all nations to join us in this effort!"

   Part of me wants to believe that this was written by some Neocon rat lurking around the White House who duped the President to sign it for some supposed political gain. Regardless of how it came about, this is not what we elected Trump to do. In the first place, so-called 'Pride Month' is a media creation. They chose June because three years ago this month homosexual 'marriage' was illegally imposed on the nation by the Supreme Court. The Court that session was short one member after Justice Scalia died under mysterious circumstances only a few months before. The decision was made over the objections of a majority of US States---which had already codified heterosexual marriage exclusively as legal. 

   On top of that, there's nothing in this lifestyle embodying 'pride' any more than it has to do with anything 'gay.' These people redefined our language along with the laws of the nations and of nature. 



   The President says that we "recognize the outstanding contributions that LGBT people have made to our great Nation." To which we would ask: what contributions? Within our lifetimes, homosexuality was illegal in most American jurisdictions and considered a treatable mental condition. What could 'LGBT's' possibly have contributed? The overall contributions that homosexuals make to society is overwhelmingly negative. 


    The President that we should "stand in solidarity" with homosexuals living in countries with more enlightened laws than ours in dealing with this social problem. Trump adds 'execution' into the equation: although the countries that actually impose the death penalty are countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, with whom we shouldn't be allied anyway. Yet this Administration supports both regimes. 

   Regardless, this statement by Trump goes against his campaign pledges not to interfere in the internal politics of sovereign nations. 

   The President states that he hopes to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide. This is a mistake. It's a reversion back to Deep State policies of forcing warped American social policy on countries too weak to resist. And actually, we should be working actively to re-criminalize such behavior in our own country, as it should be. 


    We don't scenes like the one pictured above in our own neighborhoods. Can we blame the citizens of foreign countries who don't want it in theirs? Imposing this kind of social degeneracy on other countries is exactly what enflamed so much Anti-American sentiment worldwide from the 1990's onwards.

    Republican Party activists need to stand up and denounce Trump's Proclamation. It clearly was not a very well thought-out move by the President, and any tendencies the White House may have in this direction should be nipped in the bud.

THE PASSING OF A LEGEND

    It occasionally happens during our time on this earth that someone of note passes away; a person whom we admired in our youth. All of us living today have grown up in a culture of mass-media wherein celebrity-status attaches itself to any prominent public figure. Our ancestors typically chose role-models early in their lives from the panorama of history. We tend to choose them from the present today. Thus, the passing of a famous person becomes for many of us both personal and generational. 

    I can recall three previous times when this happened personally. The earliest was in 1979 when actor John Wayne died. I was still a kid then, but had been weaned on his films. I recall staying up late on Saturday Night to watch John Wayne Theater. The second happened in 1993 when novelist Leslie Charteris died. I devoured his novels during my teen years and they also shaped many of my own attitudes. And then Ronald Reagan passed away in 2004. I grew up mostly during the Reagan Administration and he too influenced me greatly. 

    Now, this weekend, funeral services were held quietly in Birmingham, Alabama for a fourth: a man who was also a role model from the world of sports: Bart Starr. Starr passed away at the age of 85, of a heart condition, during Memorial Day weekend. His wife of 65 years survived him, as did several children and grand-children. 

     Bart Starr had retired from football and become a coach by the time I was old enough to feel his influence; but I'd read about many of his exploits on the field. As a player, Bart Starr played for 15 seasons. During that time, he'd won 5 NFL Championships and 2 Super Bowls; been selected as an All-Pro five times; was NFL passing leader four times and finished in the Top 5 another four times. He was voted the NFL's Most Valuable Player three times and was voted the Super Bowl MVP after both of his appearances there. In 1977, Starr was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame and nominated to be part of HOF's 'All 1960's Team.' And this was back in a day and age where a man actually had to perform to be a sports hero. 



     Few people know that Bart Starr was chosen by the Green Bay Packers in 1956 on the 17th Draft Round---and then as a Defensive Back and 4th-String quarterback.  In college football during the 1950's, players actually played a full 60 minutes, both offense and defense. Starr beat out three prominent veterans, Lamar McHan, Babe Parelli, and Zeke Bratkowski for the starting QB role. Bratkowski became one of Starr's closest friends and an Assistant Coach during Starr's 9-year tenure as Packers' Head Coach. 

     Starr's term as Head Coach was not an easy one. He wasn't popular with the Media nor with many players. The reason for this was because Starr held fast to the traditional NFL values of professionalism, sportsmanship, and excellence in age during which the League was rapidly slouching towards becoming the Disaster Area that it is today. Starr threw even popular players off the team if he caught them using drugs and disciplined players who behaved unprofessionally. This didn't set well in an atmosphere where publicity stunts, the 'win-at-all-costs' mentality, and dirty play in general were becoming the norm. 



     The Media and the Corporate Elites also despised Starr because he was, throughout his whole life, a devout and sincere Christian. During an interview, he once said the following:

     "Growing up in a strong Christian environment provided me with many valuable lessons about family, school, athletics; and most importantly about God. Like most kids, I idolized sports figures, but Jesus was the ultimate role model for me. In my efforts to succeed as a football player, I went through some difficult times, but my experiences paled in comparison to what Jesus endured during His life: torture, humiliation, and death. Through it all, His attitude never wavered. His example inspired me to approach life's trials in a similar fashion. Jesus was able to sustain such a positive attitude because of His unfailing love for everyone around Him. It transformed the lives of everyone with whom he came in contact, even His persecutors. Jesus continues to have the same transforming effect upon people today. Regardless of the successes that I have experienced, if my life does not exhibit God's love, it becomes less meaningful." 

     And putting that philosophy into practice, Starr's post-NFL career was just about as impressive. Starr went on to work for a realty firm and---according to the company's website ---was personally responsible for building over two dozen hospitals. Starr also briefly returned to Green Bay and built Rawhide Ranch, a Christian-themed youth facility for at-risk boys. Starr founded the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation: named for the coach who'd been his mentor. Later, he expanded the organization to include the Starr Children's Fund to provide pediatric care for cancer-stricken children. 

    All things considered, Bart Starr is certainly a greater role model for young men than NPC jugheads who think they're heroes for boycotting the National Anthem. Or who take drugs, beat women, and get thrown in jail. Bart Starr represented what it truly meant to be a hero; and we can all hope that that type of man will someday become normative in the sports world again.
