Not meaning to offend, but…

Taken from the blogosphere:
This blog is written to suit me, the writer. The writer hopes that what suits the writer will suit a few readers; but, if not, it will make no difference. No reader, subscriber, or body of subscribers, will be allowed to govern the writer’s course, dictate the writer’s policy, prescribe the writer’s methods, or choose the writer’s topics.
The blog is published for the very definite purpose of advocating certain ideas, such as faith in Jesus Christ, the free market, conservatism, education, recent medical and technological breakthroughs, pro-family issues like not killing the unborn, family memories, and public policy; no claim will be admitted, on any pretext of freedom of speech, to waste the writer’s time in hindering the attainment of that object. The writer is not afraid of discussion, or even an argument, and shall do what the writer can to make room for short, serious, and well-considered objection to the writer’s views, but intolerance of Christians, Christiphobia, church bashing, blasphemy, name calling, bullying, and long boring essays on atheism should be posted elsewhere.

Relativistic America: Neither safe nor free

Relativistic America: Neither safe nor free
The American Spectator • March 2, 2018
The Florida mass shooting, which even a minimally competent state could have prevented, is a window on a relativistic America that is neither safe nor free. For decades, gun-control liberals, who corrupted civil society and called it “progress,” have proposed more government and less morality. But all that produces is an out-of-control society in which responsibility lessens everywhere. It has given us broken homes, broken schools, and broken government.
All of the hasty gun-control proposals under discussion amount to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. If a country’s culture is sick, it doesn’t matter what legislation passes. The people won’t follow the law and a corrupt and incompetent government won’t enforce it.
A discussion that is presented as a trade-off between security and liberty isn’t. It is just one more step toward a future without either. The least emotionally satisfying “fix” to the problem of gun violence — because it sounds so abstract and musty, and because it would require uprooting the moral relativism of the last fifty years or so — is the only real one: restoring civil society. As it disintegrated, America went from fewer laws and less violence to more laws and more violence.
Relativism and totalitarianism, which combine to form much of the thrust of modern politics, reinforce each other. Decades of moral relativism have sapped civil society, causing a spike in terror and disorder. Aspiring totalitarians then point to those horrors and call for bigger and bigger government. Gun-control liberalism rests on that reinforcing paradox — the permissive society giving birth to the Leviathan.
In that vision lies the realization of the founding fathers’ worst fears. They didn’t want less morality and more government but more morality and less government — the Ten Commandments, not ten new gun laws after every shooting.

Mass Immigration is a plan

The belief that the peoples of Europe should be mixed with predominately Muslim Africans and Asians, to destroy the white European identity, to break down traditional ways of living and create a single mixed people, is the reason for community policies that promote minority interests. The underlying motives are not really humanitarian, but because the power behind the ruthless regime dominating the EU plans the greatest genocide in history.

The facilitation of genocide, is also the basis of the constant appeals from the United Nations, demanding that Europe accept millions of immigrants to help counter the low birth rate among Europeans. According to a report published in January 2000 by the population division of the United Nations in New York, under the title “Immigration replacement: A solution to declining and aging population,” Europe will need to accept 159,000,000 migrants by 2025.

The citing of such precise numbers is evidence of a premeditated plan. Clearly, a low birth-rate can easily be reversed with appropriate measures to support families and it is equally clear that the introduction of alien genes will do nothing to preserve Europe’s genetic heritage but destroy it. The consequence of current policies promoting multiracialism is to create a weakened disparate population without national, historical, or cultural cohesion. In short, the policies of this plan have been and still are, the basis of official government policies intent upon the genocide of the Peoples of Europe, through mass immigration.

G. Brock Chisholm, a former director of the World Health Organization (OMS), demonstrated this well when he said: “What people everywhere need to do is to limit births and promote mixed marriages (between the different races), the outcome will be the creation of a single race throughout the world which can be directed by a central authority.” If we look around us, the implementation of the plan seems to be at an advanced stage. We face Europe’s fusion with the Third World. The plague of interracial marriage produces each year thousands of young people of mixed race. Under the dual pressures of misinformation and humanitarian stupefaction, promoted by the mass media, Europeans are being taught to renounce their origins and to renounce their national identity.

The servants of globalization are trying to convince them that to deny their identity, is a progressive and humanitarian act, that “racism” is wrong, because they want us all to be blind consumers. It is necessary, now more than ever, to counter the lies of the System, to awaken the revolutionary spirit among Europeans. Everyone must be made aware of this truth, that European integration amounts to genocide. Europeans have no other option, the alternative is national suicide.

What Signs are You Following?

Semiotics is the study of signs – things that signify other things. It comes from Classical Greek σημεῖον sémeion ‘mark, sign’, which is an extended-play version of σῆμα séma (which signifies about the same thing, but it’s smaller). The semi in semiotics looks just like the semi in semiconscious, but it’s not, and you’re probably at least half aware of that. That latter semi is from Latin and means (as I sure hope you know) ‘half’.

I Need to see as Jesus sees

I need to see as Jesus sees for man looks upon the outward appearance, but God looks upon the heart. For again as I traverse London, the English language is lost in the cacophony of Arabic, Polish, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Italian, and the many other languages spoken by the residents of London, not counting the millions of tourists who descend on this world-destination city.However, when the English language does come within hearing, it is so punctuated with the “f” and “s” bombs that I am sorry that I am able to understand that language.

Tattooed and pierced bodies, cigarette smokers and vapers, men with topknots and earrings on parade, not to mention a nation under siege as seen by the sea of covered Muslim women in hijabs, niqabs, and burkas. 

A lost world of lost peoples seeking recognition.

From The Trumpet Magazine

Dear Professor,  Recently I had a conversation with a woman from Canada. Her granddaughter, in first grade in a public school, was approached on the playground by a boy her age who was dressed in girls’ clothes. “I want to play with you,” he said.

“Well, I don’t want to play with you,” she responded.

The boy walked away. Soon after, he came back with the playground supervisor, who informed the girl that she had to be friends with the boy.

Since when do school authorities get to decide who our children’s friends are? 

This is just a microcosm of what society is doing with transgenderism: demanding that we all embrace it. Systematically eliminating our power to think otherwise.

To me, the despotic playground supervisor is an emblem of just how aggressively society is moving to impose and enforce this revolutionary transformation. Disapproving of transgenderism has suddenly become a thought-crime, a la George Orwell.

Women who object to men in their public bathrooms and dressing rooms are being told they just have to live with it. Employees who instruct men to leave these facilities are being fired.

This goes far beyond morality. To accept society’s approval of fornication, adultery, pornography, homosexuality and same-sex “marriage” is to reject the authority of the Bible. Now, though, society is demanding that we reject reality. That we pretend biology itself is an illusion.

Transgenderism occurs in the mind. No expert can point to any physiological or biological evidence to support it. A doctor who diagnoses “cross-gender identification” has nothing to go by besides what the person claims to be feeling. Yet based on such claims, a psychiatrist can recommend that a child live as someone of the opposite sex, and even, eventually, to undergo sex-reassignment surgery—genital mutilation.

When else is invasive, irreversible surgery performed on healthy organs, particularly in absence of medical tests to confirm a diagnosis, based solely on a patient feeling there is a problem? Yet in America, taxpayer money has gone toward doing just that on soldiers, government workers, prisoners and private citizens.

As precipitously as this revolution is occurring, however, it can’t be fast enough for some people.

The New York Times published an article a couple weeks ago called “How to Raise a Feminist Son.” It scolded us parents for “confining” our sons by discouraging them from having “feminine” interests and teaching them to be tough. It advised us to let our boys cry, to teach them how to do housework and care for children, and to instruct them to recognize the terrible sex stereotypes in The Berenstain Bears. Under a drawing of a boy wearing a sunhat, large shades and a pearl necklace, the article said, “Let him be himself.” Actively fight traditional sex norms. And if he has gender confusion, by all means encourage that.

This push for transgenderism has simply exploded in just a couple short years. What in the world is society going to look like 10 years from now—or even five, or two—after we’ve deliberately raised our kids to be gender-dysphoric and pansexual?

Society is hurtling down this weird, delusional road—seemingly without considering just how bizarre and treacherous it must inevitably get. Denying the very existence of male and female necessitates restructuring whole segments of our culture. Sex segregation naturally occurs everywhere. The contortions this will put us through over public facilities, sports participation, military service, family composition, the role of science in reproduction, and countless other areas are impossible to foresee. Not even Karl Marx—with his abolition of the family and advocacy of a “community of women” in place of marriage—conceived of a completely sexless society.

But most alarmingly, such a revolution cannot take place without force. When a lie becomes orthodoxy—when truth must give way to fantasy—when it becomes expected that everyone enthusiastically endorse pure deceit—such utopianism can only be brought into being with the bullying power of the state. You simply cannot rewrite reality on such a scale without THE MUSCLE OF AUTHORITARIANISM.

It is coming—and fast. We get a peek at that future in a playground supervisor demanding that a little girl befriend a boy in a dress.

Sodom and Gomorrah adopted homosexuality and other sexual perversions. But I don’t believe that even these cities—notorious for their rank wickedness—ever rejected the very reality of male and female! We have outdone them.

If you want to wash out the bad taste in your mouth, read some sound advice on how to rear your son in Chapter 6.4 of my new book Biblical Manhood, titled “Make a Man.” In fact, read the whole book for a refreshing look at just how sane and wonderful God’s view on sex roles is.

Obama, a Pawn of Satan’s

Recently, we learned a lot more about American support for Iran’s rise as “king of the south” from Dr. David Asher, who worked for Gen. John Allen at the United States Defense and State Departments under the Obama administration. Dr. Asher testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee about America’s efforts to counter Hezbollah’s global network of terror, crime and resistance. According to Asher, during the last years of his presidency, Barack Obama “systematically disbanded” U.S. law enforcement actions aimed at disrupting Iran’s international network of terrorism for fear that such counterterrorism measures might derail the nuclear deal with Iran. 

With each passing week since Barack Obama moved out of the White House, we have learned more and more about his scandalous actions as president. Unfortunately, the major media in the United States are fixated instead on bringing down the Trump presidency. That’s why they obsessed over the James Comey hearing last week, when they should have been scrutinizing every word of Dr. Asher’s riveting testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which happened on the same day!

The Loss of Sense and Sensibility (cont’d)

One reason the mass populations of the West are rejecting Christianity:Christianity rapidly spread through the West primarily by the AD 313 Edict of Milan (Constantine and Licinius). This resulted in the church and the monarchy sharing power, and sometimes the church was the monarchy and the power. This unfortunate arrangement masked the message of the loving Jesus. The hidden true message of Christ kept the masses ignorant and under the thumbs of rulers, no matter the robes they wore, be they robes imperial or clerical.

Help with WordPress

A number of years ago in Internet time I wanted a place to store interesting articles. I did not want to use space on my hard drive. I heard about blogging but I was not interested in creating anything original I merely wanted to save items I deemed interesting and perhaps share them with others. Somehow I was led to WordPress. I began copying and pasting articles to WordPress and publishing them. I could always retrieve my articles when I wanted to look at them again. 

As long as I can remember I clipped magazine and newspaper articles for future reference keeping them in folders. Along came computers allowing electronic storage. Now the Cloud allowing storage with acces no matter the device I am using and from whet I am using the device as long as I have access to the Internet. I use Box, Dropbox, IDrive, iCloud, Google drive, and everything else for storing all that I have including photos and videos.

Bringing us back to WordPress. Now I think I would like to begin writing my thoughts and sharing/storing them, so I went back to WordPress. But, I am having a problem with restoring my drafts. I begin writing, save it as a draft with the intention of going back and writing more, but I cannot locate the draft for future writing, I must be doing something wrong because I do not believe that those who write blogs write in one sitting, but write in multiple sittings saving their writings as drafts for future editing, etc.

Where am I going wrong?

The Loss of Sense and Sensibility

This coming weekend begins my last foray across the pond to the land that embraced, then lost, reason. I am speaking of the West, Western Europe. The culmination of the best in art, science, engineering, and theology. Athens thought about and expressed untying the knot, loosening the ropes, unfettering the shackles, but Western Europe finally set man free. Truth and logic behind passioned reasoning unleashed that which had been leashed for millennia. No! it was not easy it was not swift, it was painful, but as with childbirth, it produced life.
