Christian Review Of The Age Of Ultron Provides Insight Into Why Most Christians Films
Aren't Worth Watching
Regarding The Avengers: The Age Of Ultron,
radical homeschooler Kevin Swanson is profoundly
offended that Captain America verbalized a swear
word during the climactic conflict of the film.
Is Kevin Swanson going to maintain that nothing
questionable would slip out of his mouth while
battling a genocidal Artificial Intelligence on the cusp
of perpetrating an extinction level disaster?
The radical homeschooler's critique of the film
went beyond questionable dialog selections on the
part of the screenwriters.
Tony Stark in particular was condemned as an
individualist and not being much of a team player.
But isn't that the characteristic of Robert Downey's
interpretation that has made his performance
endearing over the course of the interlocking Marvel
films and one with which sarcastic loners with a
tendency to dance to the beat of their own drum have
been able to identify?
As the review progressed, Swanson finally
revealed the nature of his ultimate disapproval with
the film.
For you see, with the exception of the archer
Hawkeye, the protagonists are to be condemned
because the are SINGLE (as in unmarried) for a
variety of reasons.
For the most part, shouldn't these characters be
applauded for that decision because of the particular
vocations in which they find themselves?
Captain America was in suspended animation for
over 70 years while the woman he loved, Agent Peggy
Carer, aged at a normal rate and if developments in
her own TV miniseries are any indication, eventually
moved on to marry somebody else as she didn't even
know those many decades that he was even still alive.
So in the eyes of the radical homeschoolers, is
Steve Rogers not supposed to work through that
profound emotional trauma before wedding someone
else that he might not really love?
As to the Incredible Hulk, despite the slight sparks
there with Black Widow, perhaps Bruce Banner has

character enough to realize that he is better off without

a relationship in which the normal stresses of which
could set off his condition to the point where he
wouldn't simply snap at his wife in a less than
courteous tone but instead level his entire
neighborhood.
Though it was amusing to discover that Hawkeye
had a secret family that he had concealed from his
colleagues in the espionage and costumed adventurer
communities and that served as a reminder of what
these heroes are fighting for, these are action
adventure films (not chick flicks).
While passing romance and flirtations add flavor to
the narrative, the primary purpose for these films is to
see robots and aliens blown up.
I don't really care to see Superman flying Lois
Lane from store to store looking for new drapes for
the Fortress of Solitude.
Perhaps the most disturbing thing said by Swanson
in his analysis was that we must be careful not to limit
the designation of witchcraft to those claiming to be
witches.
Instead, anyone whose power comes from a source
other than God is guilty of this grievous offense.
An argument can be made as to the technical
accuracy of that claim.
However, it must be remembered that Swanson
advocates a political philosophy known as theonomy
or Christian Reconstructionism that calls for the
implementation of Biblical law as the nation's
comprehensive social policy and statutory code.
Since that is the case, how ought and to whom
should the Biblical injunction of Suffer not a witch to
live be applied?
For if definable limits are not placed upon such a
principle, it could certainly be manipulated as a clever
way to justify executing your political and
philosophical opponents.
Vigilance is required whether one is dealing with a
maniacal artificial intelligence or a podcasting minister that
hasn't fully considered the implications of his theological
pronouncements.

Reflections Upon The Duggar Allegations

Ministries Begin To Weigh In On Duggar

Scandal

Radical homeschoolers argue that parents ought to

pull their children out of formalized academic settings
and not even allow their daughters to entertain
thoughts of attending college because of the numerous
incidents of molestation and sexual assault that occur
in the halls of learning.
Given the molestations allegations that have come
out against Josh Duggar, if that is what goes on behind
the close doors of the first family of homeschooling,
should Christians now evaluate that form of education
as well?
His own sisters are alleged to rank among his
victims.
But since he was married by 20 years of age, he is
not the deviant.
You are if you are not according to radical
homeschoolist propaganda.
Would there be as much outrage over the Duggar
allegations if these parents had not attempted to rule
over their children with such an iron fist?
Seems to me your son molesting one of your
daughters would be more a sign of failed parenting
than if your kids kissed someone before their wedding
ceremony.
Perhaps this tragic story should be taken as a
warning that parents procreating at such a shocking
rate don't always pay that much attention to the
children whom it is claimed are loved more than the
children of those parents that spawn a more
manageable one to three.
No wonder the one Duggar girl got married to
someone on the other side of the world. Always
figured it was to get away from that crowd.
Who would have thought it would have been over
something so terrible.
Mark my words.
Before its all over with, the Duggar that cant keep
his hands to himself will be addressing riveted crowds
on the topic as to why septuagenarian singles
shouldnt even be allowed to sit with one another in
church.

In a SermonAudio homily, a pastor condemned

interest in the Duggar scandal as a form of gossip and
tale bearing.
But if the information conveyed is true, is it
gossip?
Some might respond that, because this information
impacts only the Duggars, no one else but the
involved parties need to know about it.
But if assorted religious propagandists uplifted the
Duggars as some kind of ideal to emulate in terms of
breeding out of control and for ways to curtail the
freedoms of their children, shouldn't it be exposed
where these figures fall short in adhering to the most
simple and obvious Christian standards?
If it is considered gossip to report when this family
falls short, shouldn't celebrating their hyperlegalistic
proclivities also be considered a form of gossip when
these are invoked for the purposes of manipulating
one's audience into believing that their own walk with
God is inferior when they prefer not to rely upon so
many externalities in their own spirituality and
religious devotion?
In reflection upon the Duggar scandal, a pastor on
SermnAudio remarked how worldlings are gleeful
when Christians fall into sin.
But don't we believers tend to do the same thing in
regards to the adherents of assorted false belief
systems?
Who among us didn't latch onto the Roman
Catholic abuse scandal as proof to the shortcomings of
that variety of Christianity?
So now shouldn't similar outrages be taken as proof
that things might not be as perfect in hardline
Evangelicalism as the missionary prayercard photos
would lead us to believe?
In reflecting upon the Duggar scandal, a pastor
criticized the number of homseschooling families that
position themselves almost as teaching ministries as
they share their practices and techniques with others
but without the formal ecclesiastical authority of
eldership.
The peculiarities of certain homeschool families
are secondary in regards to that comment.
What this minister is saying is that you should not be
allowed to publish a book or speak at a conference
convened beyond the direct oversight of a church body
without the permission of your pastor, deacon board, or
consistory.
The response to that in terms of organized religion is
who is going to stop me?

Actor Denigrates The Geekdom That Feeds

Him

Is Dana Perino The Covergirl Of Politically

Correct Republicanism?

Actor Simon Pegg insists that comic book movies

are infantilizing the adult population. Instead, we
ought to be watching challenging fare that asks moral
questions.
Mind you, this is an actor whose claim to fame has
been as Scotty in the recast Star Trek series and as a
sidekick in the Mission Impossible films.
The Avengers: The Age Of Ultron was about an
artificial intelligence with a messianic complex that
was the result of bestowing upon it the mission of
peace in our time.
Other comic book cinematic adaptations are just as
profound.
The X-Men regularly confront the dilemma of
balancing the needs of accepting others different from
ourselves while also protecting ourselves from those
that would use those differences to harm us.
If those are not considered plots with profound
ethical implications, apparently challenging moral
questions must be little more than a euphemism for
movies needing more scenes with buxom Jerry
Springer lesbians (not flannel wearing butches) rolling
between the sheets with one another.
Most people spend their $10 per ticket to see robots
or extraterrestrials being blown to pieces.
They are not going to part with that much money to
be berated as to why they ought to feel shame for
having been born White or even American.

On The Five, Dana Perino suggested that

professional athletics associations ought to finance a
public relations effort (also commonly referred to as a
propaganda campaign) urging inner city youth to
respect and comply with law enforcement.
There is nothing wrong with such a message.
However, even if these enterprises have these funds
at their disposal, they are not obligated to provide
such outreach.
They are not a church or a related kind of
philanthropic organization.
The responsibility of such is to provide
entertainment.
As a multimillionaire in her own right, why doesn't
Dana Perino finance such cultural conditioning?
Regarding the principal fired for posting online for
suggesting that the police officer at the pool party
didn't really do anything wrong, Dana Perino on the
Five suggested that those kinds of comments
should perhaps have been said around the dinner table
and not enunciated publicly.
But doesn't this degree of self censorship plant the
seeds of a regime where one will eventually be carted
off to a reeducation camp for precisely verbalizing
these errant thoughts in the privacy of one's own
home?

Website Applauding Moral Decline Laments Loss Of Foo Foo Manners

A Huffington Post story listed a number of polite
things people don't do anymore.
One was giving up your seat for an elderly person,
pregnant woman, or someone with disabilities.
For starters, if these demographic categories make
a fuss about wanting to be treated like everybody else,
that should also include the expectation that they
should also wait for a seat like everybody else.
Another principle included taking off your hat
indoors.
Does that also include those belonging to a certain
religion with a penchant for flying jetliners into
skyscrapers that not only cover their heads but at
times even their entire faces?

If multiculturalism holds that all people are to be

treated equally and these people are not obligated to
remove their cranial apparel, why should the rest of us
be expected to comply with such a decree?
Another principle on the list was about making
small talk in the checkout line.
I am there to acquire a desired or needed item.
Beyond a nod or cursory verbalized greeting, I am
not there to talk to people.
Given the outright destruction of property that
often takes place these days as a result of either
athletic victories or unpopular jury verdicts, one
would think a little good natured benign detachment
would be applauded as a form of serene civility.

Ultralegalist Caught Utilizing Pagan Imagery

Hardline Calvinist Michael Jeshurun has posted
online an essay condemning sports as idolatry that I
am formulating a reply to.
However, of additional interest is a meme that he is
using as a cover photo for his social media profile.
The illustration reads, Smashing Arminian lies
and everything else that opposes the absolute
sovereignty of mighty Jehovah.
While that is a controversial statement worthy of
note, that is not even the reason that the image is
being mentioned.
For in one corner is depicted a figure adorned in
what is essentially Thor's costume from the Marvel
Cinematic Universe holding aloft a battle hammer
with KJV emblazoned across it.
The face of the character is obscured, no doubt in
the attempt to avoid copyright infringement.
Does Jeshurun not realize that the Thor superhero
is essentially a pagan Nordic deity depicted as a
transdimensional lifeform?
Therefore, if we are to avoid things that hint of
paganism or idolatry, why is he invoking the imagery
of Thor?
Instead of Thor, why doesn't he instead depict Zeus
with a lightening bolt in hand?
Secondly, if it is morally wrong to patronize sports,
isn't it wrong to patronize popular movies if you are
going to be that strict about things?
I regularly go to the movies myself.
But in comparison, considering only the form of
entertainment alone, aren't the movies more likely to

expose you to a wider variety of more alluring sins

than sports ever really will?
The power of worldview analysis is that, once you
know what an individual believes regarding certain
foundational topics, you can often predict with a
reasonable degree of accuracy what an individual
believes regarding other issues and subjects.
For example, if a particular theologian construes
reality through an explicitly Calvinist lens bordering
upon the hostile towards those articulating an
alternative soteriology and also condemns sports as a
form of idolatry, it is usually safe to assume that the
thinker also opposes traditional Christian celebrations
such as Christmas on nearly the same grounds.
Sure enough, Jeshurun has composed an analysis
that not only is Christmas pagan but that insinuates
that should the accouterments of the holiday be found
adorning your domicile at the moment of the Second
Advent you will likely not hear Christ say to you
well done good and faithful servant but rather
depart from me I never knew you.
Mind you, these holiday symbols have been
Christianized for centuries and disimbued of their
pagan origins.
As entertaining as Thor might be with the Van
Daniken chariot of the gods spin put on the character,
that narrative has not been sufficiently removed from
its original context for it to be overlooked from a
standpoint of blissful unawareness on the part of
someone supposedly skilled in detecting errors at
variance with the most rigorous orthodoxy.

Random Observations
Lebanon Levi and Merlin from Amish Mafia appeared
on the 5/13/15 episode of Dr. Phil. When was this
episode filmed? If after the finale of Amish Mafia,
why shouldn't we conclude that the Discovery
Channel docudrama is anything but fake? For in the
finale, is depicted as having started a beard to denote
having gotten married. However, during the Dr. Phil
interview, he was clean shaven.

hasn't been a commercial that glamorous since

feminine hygiene products and catheter sample packs.

Contrary to the statement made by Eric Boling on the

Five, if a police or military force cannot stand civilian
criticism, why should we think it will be able to
handle better armed adversaries on the battlefield or
streets?

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is once again verbalizing

the name Redskins in reference to Washington's
NFL franchise. Previously, she signed a resolution
condemning the name as a racial slur. She has since
changed her mind, insisting that her primary duty as
mayor is the city's economic development. From that,
are we to assume that the primary determinant of the

Whats the big deal about Fox News calling poor

people leeches? Thousands of hours of video tape
accumulated this past year characterized as civil
unrest document beyond a reasonable doubt that that
is exactly what these deadbeats are.

The way Hepatitis C is referred to as "Hep C", there

moral ought to be the financial? As such, should one

find a wad of cash sufficiently large enough, the
stigma and outrage associated with the N-word
would magically disappear? All that is required from
this line of reasoning to delegitimize gay marriage is
to execute a sufficiently robust fund raising campaign.

A public service announcement suggests that smokers

are less attractive as mates. While correct, will the
government produce similar propaganda justifying the
preferences of those that do not want someone that
has already procreated or nocturnally frolicked in the
boudoir with multiple partners without benefit of
matrimony?

Ought it to be considered that one is baptized into

church membership or that one is identifying with
Christ's burial and resurrection? What if one wants to
be baptized but is not necessarily ready to join a
particular church?

In the 5/8/15 edition of USA Today, Michael Wolff

remarked that the furor over George Stephanopoulous
as a broadcast journalist contributing to the Clinton
Foundation is overwrought and another attempt at
career-ruining demonetization. Did this columnist as
boldly rally to the defense of the Firefox executive
driven from that company for merely contributing a
pittance to an organization working within the
establishment legal framework opposed to gay
marriage?

Maybe people have too much. But organized religion,

government bureaucracy, and others that refuse to
work don't have a right to what you have either. My
stuff is mine. It does not belong to some missionary
that's got nothing better to do at night in the Third
World than breed out of control.

If President Obama is now reversing the policy of

militarizing the nation's police forces, does that
include the ammunition stockpiled by non-law
enforcement agencies such as the Department of
Education and the Internal Revenue Service? Will
homosexual activists opposed to the name of the
Redskins football franchise object to Natural
American Spirit tobacco products with the logo of an
Indian in a headdress smoking a peace pipe advertised
in the June 2015 of Out Magazine?

A pastor mocked men that had more than one of the

same tool. Should the same sense of mockery be
applied to someone that has more than one copy of a
particular Bible translation?
It was asserted in a sermon that money is not healthy
for you since it is covered in bacteria. So aren't you
really doing a favor on behalf of church personnel by
not placing this vector in the collection plate? So what
about the bacteria transmitted in the asinine
handshaking ritual? What about the ass sweat that
might have stained the pew prior to you?

A couple has started a GoFundMe campaign to

finance their honeymoon. How is that any tackier than
these wedding gift registries that demand brand, item,
and quantity of a desired item?

In snide remarks regarding a drop in the offering the

previous week, it was observed that some must have
taken their mother's out for Mother's Day rather than
tithing to the Lord. But if motherhood is a ministry as
important in the eyes of God as preaching from the
pulpit, is it God that is ticked off about feeling
financially slighted or the organized church?

On Master Chef, will the Muslim gal featured on the

commercial be required to prepare pork products? A
Facebook theologian said Furthermore, should
preaching God's Word be contingent upon what is
popular to keep the tithes and offerings coming in?
Many churches have prospered that do not preach the
gospel such as Joel Osteen's congregation. That
comment was in response to my own about if you are
going to insist that dead babies go to Hell, dont
expect much in the collection plate or even for the
parents to come back to church if that is the degree of
comfort your ministry provides. It must be something
to go through life that devoid of emotion. Preaching
Gods word might not be contingent upon what is
popular. However, neither does it necessarily be
expressed in such a way as to rub salt in what has got
to be one of lifes most crippling psychological
wounds.

The Washington Post is lamenting that supposedly life

expectancy is longer in North Korea than in some
Baltimore neighborhoods. But isn't that the result of
Baltimore residents being allowed the freedom to
either make something of their lives or to destroy their
own lives as well as those of others? Individuals for
the most part are not extended that choice in North
Korea. Are we to the assume that the Washington Post
wants that kind of totalitarian regimentation? Perhaps
those advocating this would like the First Amendment
curtailed to prevent the purveying of the filth that
glamorizes lives of crime and carnality.

On The Flash, if Eobard Thawn was erased from the

timeline altogether, does that mean the entire series
now resets itself? Because it was established earlier in
the season that he murdered the real Dr. Wells and
assumed his identity in order to build the cyclotron 20
years earlier than it would have been. (And will riot
police need to be called in at Comicon should debates
about this get out of hand?)

During his Coast Guard Academy commencement

address, President Obama decreed that climate change
is a national security threat. And are we to assume that
the President traveled from the White House to this

pounds of fossil fuel?
To Huckabee, apparently the important thing is not
whether or not the accused Duggar pedophile
molested his own sisters but apparently how likely the
accused's clan is to contribute to his campaign. In
enunciating his intentions to stand by the Duggars,

Arkansas.

At the beatnik farmer's market, I am sure those fried

Radical homeschoolers argue that parents ought to
pull their children out of formalized academic settings

allegations that have come out against Josh Duggar, if

Regarding the scant number of District of Columbia

residents allowed concealed weapon carry permits,
wonder how many of those insist common citizens
should not be allowed to exercise their Second

Regarding a proposed VA law that would have
prohibited a child under five from handling a gun.
How is such legislation anymore out of line than
restricting drivers licenses to those over 16? Unless
they reside in the Duggar household, do children that
young really need access to fire arms?

Josh Duggar has been accused of molestation. His

own sisters are alleged to rank among his victims. But
since he was married by 20 years of age, he is not the
deviant. You are if you are not according to radical
homeschoolist propaganda.

Regarding the tattooed contestant that kept constantly

reminding that she's a first generation American and
single mother: the program is Master Chef and not PC
Chef. If one is going to shell out over a day's wage for
not much more than a single scoop of food, you are
wanting an exquisitely prepared meal; not a guilt trip
or a sob story.

Would there be as much outrage over the Duggar

allegations if these parents had not attempted to rule
over their children with such an iron fist? Seems to me
your son molesting one of your daughters would be
more a sign of failed parenting than if your kids kissed
someone before their wedding ceremony. Perhaps this
tragic story should be taken as a warning that parents

Does activist Pamella Gellar intend to ride daily on

the public transportation systems onto which her
associates are planning to post Muhammad cartoons?
If she wants to hold Mohammad cartoon exhibitions

applauded for her courage. However, if these cartoons
are plastered all over public transportation, is there a
reason the rest of us are obligated to die on behalf of
her convictions simply by commuting to work?

Now that the Duggar facade is crumbling, a number of

radical homeschoolers are changing their tune as to
the utility of the lifestyle they themselves profess as
the ideal Christian standard. On an episode of
Generations Radio examining the scandal, the host
criticized those that pursue a form of Christianity
characterized by a mantra of We don't drink, we don't
chew, and we don't go with girls who do. The host
insinuated how spiritually hollow it was for parents to
follow these kinds of formulas, expecting a guarded
environment to result in a righteous and redeemed
child. Mind you, this very same ministry has
promoted the Duggarite mindset that females should
be discouraged from pursuing higher education. Kevin
Swanson even insinuated in the past that a fascination
with the Little House On The Prairie books could
suborn lesbianism in unsuspecting readers.

Rick Santorum is announcing his presidential

campaign during a televised press conference. There

lamented the rise of mass communications resources
available over the Internet and mobile devices. But

An emerging pedagogical perspective insists that there

Pope Francis insists that people spend too much

the standard to which we are obligated to aspire,
would these funds be better spent on more golden

scrape the floor? Wouldn't the Vatican's money be
better spent on the poor than on astronomical
observatories codenamed L.U.C.I.F.E.R. attempting to

If Southern Baptist leaders such as Russell Moore

continue to foment contempt against the White race,
what is to stop Whites from going to church
altogether? Better yet, what is to prevent those of this
targeted extraction from withdrawing from these
churches to form ones where, despite all being
welcome irrespective of color or race, but where the
acceptance of others is not formulated from a
perspective of contempt for White people or America?

On The Five, Kimberly Gilfoil enunciated she had

no problem with minority groups such as herself
seeking career placement assistance with racial
supremacist groups such as La Raza. To be consistent,
wouldn't she also be required to applaud the Ku Klux

CAIR and Hamas doing the same on behalf of Muslim
students?

An 11 year old homeschooler is graduating with three

It was snidely mused in a sermon that a Bible church

is just a Baptist one that doesn't want to go by the
name of Baptist. While that may be true to an extent,
that summary does not convey the complete picture.
Perhaps some congregations go with the Bible church
rather than Baptist moniker in admission that there is
more to the Christian faith than baptism and, in all
honesty, to distance themselves from some of the
extremist positions certain Baptist factions have
become infamous over. There is nothing in Scripture
indicating that the only variety of church acceptable to
God is one that explicitly lists the word Baptist in
its name.

Wonder if the Fox News talking heads would be as

The Patriot Act has been rebranded the USA Freedom
Act, allowing data to once again be collected on
telecommunications customers. However, this time
around, it seems that the information will remain in
the hands of the private sector. That will allow a
number of the legislation's supporters on the Fox
News Channel to label critics of the law as enemies of
the free market system as well. In light of the
allegations and charges of deposit structuring leveled
against former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert,
can someone utilizing human couriers to diminish the
possibility of electronic surveillance or who would
just rather compose handwritten letters rather than
email be accused of violating the USA Freedom Act?

It might not be ideal, but if an individual baptized as

an infant comes to faith later in life and is basing the
assurance of salvation on that profession and not so
much on the act of natal baptism, is it really worth
making a fuss as to when the person was baptized?
Immersion no more saves you than sprinkling does.
In a sermon insisting that all forms of baptism other
than immersion were invalid, it was admitted that
baptism can also mean to come under such as in terms

over the head, isn't the person technically under it in
those modalities as well?

that do, if the family member assists the elderly

snapped at like you are guilty of elder abuse.
Shouldn't it be the doctor's responsibility to gather and

Given that Vanity Fair was the setting in Pilgrim's

Progress in which all manner of carnal depravities
took place, it is ironically fitting that it would be in
that magazine in which Bruce Jenner would publicly
wallow in his assorted debaucheries.
Radical homeschooler Kevin Swanson castigated socalled conspiracy theorists for deemphasizing the love
of God in expressing their concerns about the Jade

camps during the Holocaust were simply on extended

John Stewart of the Daily Show is jacked out of shape

because the public has focused upon the looks of Bruce
Jenner's Caitlyn persona as debut on the cover of Vanity
Fair Magazine. Stewart lamented, When you were a man,
we could talk about your athleticism, your business
acumen, but now all we care about is your looks. But
other than thrusting the artificial bosom into the camera
lens, has this carnival act renouncing the Bruce identity
accomplished anything else of note? If one wanted one's
mind emphasized over one's trampy appearance, wouldn't
one publish an essay in the New York Review Of Books
rather than Vanity Fair?

Hopefully, those Christians not speaking of looming

persecution in a demeanor of glum solemnity but
rather with fanatical exuberance and giddiness will
rank among the first lined up against the wall and
shot.

In the opening of a News In Focus podcast posted
at SermonAudio, the assembled pastoral counsel
poked fun at someone that categorized themselves as a
Christian trainer.
Following a dismissive remark by the head pastor,
one of the dutiful underlings remarked how presenting
oneself as a Christian trainer was akin to claiming one
was a philosopher.
And what if these were either one's vocation or
avocation?
Often the positioned clergy of these more
fundamentalist sects rank among the foremost in
restricting who may hold status as a recognized
minister or the quickest to scold a recognized minister
for straying beyond the delineated parameters of the
Gospel message into the areas of generalized moral or
psychological application even if the teaching
provided is basically drawn from Biblical principles.
For example, Joel Osteen is often derided for being
more of a motivational speaker than an actual pastor.
But it seems there is also an underlying derision
there when someone might have a message or insight
of value to the wider church or Christian world but is
cautious not to assume the responsibility or authority
of the pastoral office.
At the end of the discussion, the head pastor was

impressed with what the Christian trainer had posted.

But instead of leaving the compliment at that, the
pastor snidely remarked but could the Christian trainer
preach.
Frankly, such an aptitude might not even be
relevant for that Christian trainer's ministry.
Ephesians 4:11 says, And he gave some, apostles;
and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers.
Therefore, if someone mocks an individual that
might have the ability to teach (which the written
word is a form of) but not necessarily the ability to
preach, isn't the critic edging dangerously close to
pronouncing that the critic knows more about how
God has gifted a particular individual than God
Himself?
If this is to be the attitude of a number of God's
undershepherds that all others endeavoring to speak
Christian truth should be looked upon in a spirit that
cannot be categorized as anything other than ridicule,
perhaps a list should be formulated as to what kinds of
occupations are considered worthy of placing
something in the collection plate.
For if you can't respect how a person honestly
makes a living, perhaps your own ministry shouldn't
be benefiting from such labors either.

Shouldn't Fathers Be Expected To Care For Their Own Kids?

In a SermonAudio podcast, the pastoral council of
the Berean Baptist Church in Fayetteville, North
Carolina announced as an objective the promulgation
of the expectation that single men are obligated to
marry women with children fathered by someone
other than themselves.
The pastors went as far as to compare the practice
to Boaz marrying Ruth.
It is nothing of the sort.
The vast majority of single mothers these days are
not widows.
They are either divorced or have never been
married at all.
Secondly, Ruth did not have children.
The Moabitess was a widow free and clear.
Boaz never had to deal with the inevitable you are
not my father confrontations.
And back then, even if he had, there was not the
likelihood of a disgruntled child reporting false abuse
allegations to social welfare operatives.
In the discussion, it was suggested it was more
honorable for a man to marry someone that already
has kids.
The only obligation is for the one having the fun
making the children to provide for the children.
A man does not sin if he refuses to saddle this other
man's burden.
This is the duty of the child's mother and father.
Why is the man that hasn't ruined his life up until
this particular point compelled to settle for second
hand merchandise?
If the single woman with offspring is out primarily
to land someone to punch her meal ticket and to put a
roof over her head, why can't she be admonished to
settle for a man with other children like a Brady

Bunch situation?
Given the doctrinal fussiness and finickiness of
many Independent Fundamental Baptists where you
are treated as something of a pariah or an outcast
unless you measure up 100% to the sect's rigorous
standards that are not always explicitly spelled out in
Scripture but are rather opinions buttressed by stained
interpretations of divine revelation, this raises a
number of very important questions or at least
observations.
Will these Independent Baptists now insisting that
single men are obligated to marry women with
children (especially if these women have been
divorced) in the future allow men hoodwinked into
pursuing this lifestyle allow them to do anything in
church other than occupy a pew or fill a collection
plate?
Many of the congregations adhering to this
particular brand of theology are governed by
covenants and bylaws explicitly forbidding divorced
men or men marrying women that have been divorced
from holding either the pastorate or the deaconship.
Don't think this is not a valid concern.
At the small Baptist church my grandparents
attended, you would have thought the pastor had
sanctioned lesbian polygamy when the hardliners
revolted over him officiating a marriage between
widower and a widow who divorced her drunkard
husband two marriages back with her two previous
husbands long dead by the time of the disputed
ceremony.
Christ does indeed forgive.
However, He often decides to require us to deal
with the consequences of our own decisions.

Scout Head Promotes Immorality Among The Organization's Ranks

Speaking to a national meeting of the Boy Scouts
in his role as the organization's president, former CIA
director and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates in
reference to gays among the ranks of the group's
membership and administration proclaimed that we
must deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish
it to be.
He insisted that such an adaptation of policy was
necessary or the assembled would be required to face
the end of us as a national movement.
What he is saying is that there are no enduring
values or standards.
According to such logic, dependent upon the
context the Boy Scouts are no more morally superior
to the Hitler Youth of Nazi Germany, the Red Pioneers
of the Soviet Union, or an ad hoc ISIS training camp
in the Syrian desert.

The Scout Oath reads, On my honor, I will do my

best to do my duty to God and country, and to obey
Scout law, to help other people at all times, to keep
myself physically strong, mentally awake, and
morally straight.
The Scout Law is summarized as A scout is
trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,
obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
But what happens when these virtues hinder a
Darwinian understanding of survival of the fittest?
Should this classic moral code be abandoned
should an ethic based on tooth and claw prove more
utilitarian and efficacious?
That is, after all, what Robert Gates is advocating.
No wonder the war against terror, in part,
floundered under his tenure as the Secretary of
Defense.

Ethicist Fuddles The Differences Between Genocide & Infanticide

During a lecture titled Ethics In The Age Of
Terror & Genocide, an astute member of the
audience observed during the question and answer
portion of the presentation how many Americans
recoil in outrage at the concept of genocide but are
morally comfortable with abortion.
It was interesting to hear the lecturer wiggle herself
out of the conundrum by invoking the technicality that
genocide is the killing of people because they are
members of a particular group while abortion does not
necessarily target the victim for extermination for that
particular reason.
That is, of course, unless you are a confirmed
Sangerian.

According to the logic elaborated in the response, it

is only wrong to eliminate groups and not necessarily
individuals.
The propagandist proceeded to elaborate a number
of criteria separating abortion from genocide.
Among these were the rights of the woman and how
the unborn child is not a human life that can exist on
its own.
But how are these appreciably different than the
justifications invoked by the Nazis such as living
space for the German people and that the inhabitants
of these targeted areas weren't really humans capable
of surviving on their own either by the standards of
that particular regime?

Jenner Deserves No More Respect & Admiration Than Dolezal

In a piece appearing in the Washington Times,
columnist Walter Williams assured readers that he
would refer to Bruce Jenner as a she.
Would the pundit extend the same courtesy to
NAACP functionary Rachel Dolezal by referring to
her as Black rather than White?
Some might respond that Dolezal lied but Jenner
did not.
Mind you, these are likely some of the same people
that insist that race does not exist and that the color of
skin no more intrinsic to one's identity than one's hair
color.

Well, you can change hair color, can you not?

The entire hair dye industry is built upon that
reality.
In his moment upon the stage of redemptive
history, Pontius Pilate snorted what is truth.
If a man can mutilate himself, strut around like a
circus clown, retain for now the very appendage
symbolizing the ontological state the individual has
alleged to renounce while insisting to be a woman,
how is that embracing the truth?
It is no more truthful than a White woman
masquerading as Black.

Sometimes Striking A Child Should Be Appropriate

A Maryland substitute teacher was suspended for
striking a student with a belt in order to break up a
fight.
Perhaps those that have been duped into the you
should never touch a child delusion should have
allowed the ruffians to beat each other to death.
At least that way there would have been fewer
mouths to feed on the school lunch roster and further
contamination of the gene pool in a few short years
could have been avoided.
On a more serious note, at the time critics were
insisting that the pedagogue should have modeled

proper deference to the state's designated public safety

personnel and operatives in neutralizing threats to life,
property, and good order.
Since this story broke, the nation has seen the
results of what can happen when citizens are less than
proactive or engaged in their own protection.
If it is inappropriate for a teacher to strike a child
with a belt in a moment of emergency, why is it
acceptable for a police or security officer to taser,
pepperspray, or baton the disruptive and noncompliant
other than this is how the population has been
mentally conditioned?

Random Observations
The Chinese government insists that it is not
responsible for the intrusion compromising the data of
over four million federal employees. The regime
assures that it has laws against hacking. Just as the
dictatorship no doubt has exquisitely written
legislation protecting religious freedom and statutes
against organ harvesting.

family ought to be one that toils the soil. Given his

extensive academic qualifications and scholarly
activity, it must be asked how often does Professor
Carlson putter around in the dirt? Or is this yet
another expectation to be imposed on the lesser
classes of the species?
If teen girls don't want to be physically subdued by
police, perhaps they ought to act more ladylike.

Driving for Uber might be better than starvation and

homelessness. However, if you get a hold of the
wrong customer that files some kind of lawsuit, you'll
probably end up starved and homeless.

In regards to the Dennis Hastert case, if an American

can be punished for depositing or withdrawing an
amount over as well as below a certain amount
without notifying authorities, how long until the
financially enslaved will be required to obtain
government approval for the simplest of transactions?
For example, what is to prevent the government from
denying access to your cash reserves for the purchase
of non-approved foods of questionable nutritional
content. After all, presidential candidate Mike
Huckabee considers your weight not only an
individual health issue but also one of national
security.

The film San Andreas was simultaneously

entertaining and thought provoking. Amidst the
superb special affects, one's mind contemplates
especially the seismic prophecies foretold in the Book
of Revelation. Also, depictions of the buildings
collapsing upon the people almost brings tears to one's
eyes as the sequences make you reflect on what
thousands of American's endured on 9/11 at the hands
of scumbag terrorists. Though not a particularly
devout or explicitly religious film, it was a
commendable touch for a change that it was the
scientist urging prayer in light of the overwhelming
devastation.

A 56 year old New Zealand woman landed a 907

pound tuna after a four hour struggle. In response,
cultural apologist and pundit Doug Giles (who
reminds everyone just how manly he is by deliberately
killing exotic animals on safari) posted, Bow and
kiss her ring all metrosexual males. And the question
to be asked is why. Does he demand the same of butch
feminists that could be outcooked by a man in the
kitchen? While a compelling human interest story that
prompts a gee whiz look at that response, so long as
those that Giles derides as metrosexuals have jobs

The Duggars placed locks on the doors to protect the

children from their depraved son. I can think of
something else the Duggars should have put a lock on
long before that point.
In the book The Natural Family: Where It Belongs
(New Agrarian Essays), historian and cultural analyst
Allan Carlson insists that the wholesome and devout
12

and provide for themselves, there is nothing in divine

revelation insisting that one must take to the high seas
in a form of fishing than can be described as anything
other than recreational. Wouldn't the manlier thing to
do be take the money needed to pursue an elaborate
hobby such as deep sea fishing and pay bills or put it
away for retirement?

The Obama Administration is conspiring to construct

affordable housing in affluent neighborhoods. That's
so when juries hand down verdicts specified
demographics disagree with they won't have to travel
far to destroy the property of White people.

In defense of Marco Rubio, it has been claimed that

an $80,000 boat is not a luxury. In light of gas prices
that skyrocketed a few years ago as well as a few
other reasons, I might get to Ollies Outlet four times
a year now where I agonize over whether or not I need
a book priced at $5.99.

If it is a violation of human rights to consider an

individual's race in determining their qualifications
and character, shouldn't the NAACP functionary
courageous enough to conceal her demographic
background be heralded as a patriot of the first order?
For is it not an act of revolutionary consciousness to
deny the government information to which it is not
truthfully entitled?

Is political correctness really the only reason Jerry

Seinfeld won't perform of college campuses? It's
doubtful most of those students now were even born
when his sitcom was broadcast on NBC. So when he
tried to perform on college campuses, how would
Jerry Seinfeld be introduced? As guest lecturer in
Ancient History?

If liberals want to insist that the NAACP functionary

was less than truthful regarding her origins as an
African American, aren't they required to abandon the
foundations of evolutionary anthropology that all
human beings can trace their origins back to Africa?
If tolerancemongers are going to insist like Gnostics
that the materiality of the physical being does not
exist or is irrelevant, shouldn't the NAACP
functionary that presented herself as Black despite
being born as White as a Dutch baby's backside be
publicly celebrated as Bruce Jenner for embracing
one's true identity. After all, this racialist is just as
Black as Bruce Jenner is a woman.

If a conservative had said what Bob Costas said about

Bruce Jenner, wouldn't Costas had called on the
thought criminal to be sent to a Khmer Rouge
reeducation facility?
On The Five, Dana Perino suggested that professional
athletics associations ought to finance a public
relations effort (also commonly referred to as a
propaganda campaign) urging inner city youth to
respect and comply with law enforcement. There is
nothing wrong with such a message. However, even if
these enterprises have these funds at their disposal,
they are not obligated to provide such outreach. They
are not a church or a related kind of philanthropic
organization. The responsibility of such is to provide
entertainment. As a multimillionaire in her own right,
why doesn't Dana Perino finance such cultural
conditioning?

A woman has realized that she was inadvertently

abusing her husband. In the article detailing this
confession that went viral in online Christian circles,
this epiphany transpired during a marital spat when
the wife observed her husband relenting to a verbal
berating despite obeying the command he had been
given and how many of his actions were determined
by the instinct to avoid her verbalized rages.
Eventually, men are going to be condemned as
neglectful and abusive if they now comply with the
dictates of their spouses in order to avoid being
chewed out.

Regarding the principal fired for posting online for

suggesting that the police officer at the pool party
didn't really do anything wrong, Dana Perino on the
Five suggested that those kinds of comments should
perhaps have been said around the dinner table and
not enunciated publicly. But doesn't this degree of self
censorship plant the seeds of a regime where one will
eventually be carted off to a reeducation camp for
precisely verbalizing these errant thoughts in the
privacy of one's own home?

Bill Clinton intoned during a CNN interview that

You can't have people walking around with guns.
Does this include the members of the former
President's Secret Service detail as well?
In a discussion of animal rights on the Knowing The
Truth broadcast, theologian Richard Land reflected
upon the implications of introducing robots to patient
13

care. He observed such a development would

undermine the element of human contact in the
healing process. But was was the last time anyone has
felt like anything other than a slab of meat when
dealing with medical professionals and insurance
bureaucracies?

exhibit genuine faith until one takes what one requires

for one's own needs and instead provides for the poor
with it. So does this mean that the Vatican is holding
an estate sale or auction to divest itself of the
institution's vast artistic and real estate holdings for
pennies on the dollar?

Generations Radio astutely observed that parents

cannot send their children to a 20 minute Sunday
school and expect their children to be Christian.
Instead, exposure to the faith must be comprehensive
and constant. Yet just days prior to that
pronouncement, this very same ministry insisted that
the Christian parent cannot manipulate the child's
environment and expect the child to become Christian.
Under a Calvinist soteriology, despite the parent's best
efforts, the child might just be one of the poor souls
God created for no other reason than to toss into Hell.
By this logic, in the final analysis, does it really matter
whether parents send their child to a 20 minutes
Sunday school once per week or subject their children
to around the clock indoctrination?

The Christian Bible Study Massacre proves why a

pastor that feels so led should be allowed to hold a
Bible in one hand and a firearm in another.
Regarding the terrorist assault on the Charleston,
South Carolina church, did media and law
enforcement immediately describe the suspect as
White or did these officials hem and haw ringing their
hands as they described every feature other than the
suspects socially constructed, non-existent race as
they do in many other mass casualty incidents?
The families of the victims of the terrorist assault on
the church are not under obligation to be so quick with
their forgiveness. They should stew in their anger for
awhile. Especially if this pissant has not said he was
sorry or expressed any sincere remorse.

So why is gubernatorial experience important to the

Jeb Bush faction of the Republican party when a
significant percentage of the candidates backed by Jeb
over the course of his lifetime themselves did not
possess gubernatorial experience?

The same leftists moving production of the drama

Veep from MD to CA because of tax incentives no
doubt rank among those that insist that you don't pay
your fair share and condemned golfer Phil Mickelson
when he confided taxes in part prompted his move
from CA to FL.

If Jeb Bush is to be heralded for having married an

Hispanic to the point where he is viewed as an
Hispanic, shouldn't the NAACP functionary be
similarly applauded for mating outside her race?

On Cashin In on Fox News, financial analyst

Wayne Rogers described the Book of Revelation as
ridiculous when it was pointed out that a proposal to
microchip incarcerated inmates was disturbingly
similar to the Mark of the Beast foretold of in the
Apocalypse. Would he categorize Islamic holy texts in
a similar fashion?

In an article on the death of Christianity, Southern

Baptist hierarch Russell Moore writes, ...a
Christianity that reflects its culture, whether that
culture is Smith College or NASCAR, only lasts as
long as it is useful to its hosts. That's because it's, at
root, idolatry and people turn from their idols when
they stop sending rain. Perhaps Dr. Moore should
remember that as he runs around like a lap dog puppy
snuggling up to a number of perspectives whose
primary purpose is to badmouth America and elevate
subversive minority supremacists.

Usually when these leftists speak of healing division

that translates as you are expected to go along with
their blame Whitey and bigger government handouts
agenda.
Interesting Obama does not say as much about gun
violence when it is perpetrated by his inner city base
of support in staggering numbers over the course of a
given weekend.

In Colorado, if an employer can fire an employee for

partaking of legalized medicinal cannabis in that
jurisdiction, why can't businesses deny services to gay
marriages?

Mittt Romney is suggesting that the Confederate Flag

is offensive and ought to be set aside. And what of

Pope Francis has pontificated that one does not

forbidden because some find the practice offensive?

On The Five, it was said one should live as if the

person writing your eulogy were watching. Isn't that
we have social media and the Internet for nowadays?
What if you really don't want a funeral when you
croak? It's just a bunch of people coming to gawk at
your lifeless corpse feigning that they care when they
really didn't when you were alive.

It was rhetorically asked in a sermon if Jesus would

rather find you reading the Bible or a text message
when He returned. Wouldn't that depend more on the
particular text message? In themselves, text messages
are morally neutral. So what other daily tasks are to to
suspend for the appearance of holiness? Should a
preacher ask if Jesus would rather find you reading
your Bible or swatting your spouse's backside when
He returns?

In an oration where Hillary pledged to the New World

Order just how much she despises being White (but
not so much so that she will surrender her vast
fortune), the presidential candidate said guns should
not be allowed into the hands of those that harbor hate
in their hearts. That translates you should not be
allowed to own a firearm unless you pass a political
and worldview litmus test.

Is there really a reason for a pastor to point out in a

Father's Day sermon that in his rhetorical selection
that he is using the term fathers rather than men
because the day's homily is intended for fathers
because there are men in the congregation who are not
fathers even though by tabulation that applied only to
two of the male's in attendance? Being made to feel
just a step ahead the town drunk or whore, it almost
makes one feel like one does not belong there and not
go back.

Greg Gutfeld said on Fox News that, if the victims of

the Charleston terrorist assault want the flag removed,
that is enough for him to have the Confederate flag
removed. As a borderline alcoholic, if someone who
lost a family members in a drunk driving accident
calls for the reenactment of Prohibition, does that
mean he will swear adherence to the behavioral codes
of a temperance league?

In profiles of terrorist scumbag Dylan Roof, the

descriptor of unemployed is verbalized with a
negative intonation. Is shiftlessness applied in such a
derogatory manner to members of the Occupy
movement or to violent protesters in Baltimore and
Ferguson?

On the Five, Eric Boling said in reference to a

number of retailers censoring the exchange of
Confederate merchandise that the free market should
be allowed to decide. As a Roman Catholic, would he
endorse retailers prohibiting the sale of Christian
paraphernalia in general and of that specific
theological persuasion in particular?

Will those insisting that Paula Deen should be

financially ruined for verbalizing the N-word in the
privacy of her own home following a violent crime
call for the immediate removal of President Obama
from elected office for verbalizing the N-word in
reference to violent crime?

Rand Paul has come out in support of removing the

Confederate flag. If nothing else, at least the debate is
settled that his support of states rights and the Tenth
Amendment are merely euphemisms regarding the
legalization of pot and hardcore narcotics after all.

President Obama insists that America's heritage of

racism has not been overcome. And that's why he was
elected to the presidency twice? The second time was
even after it was pretty much proven he was inept and
incompetent.

So does everyone believe the liberal dogmas

regarding race or ethnicity because those are their
sincerely held beliefs or is it that they fear the
inquisition that will descend upon them and destroy
their lives if there is even a hint that you might
disagree with these dictates on even the minutest
level?

Is it a wave of unity, as it has been categorized, to

remove the confederate flag from the state house in
South Carolina? Or is this being done more out of fear
that the Obamavoters and welfare recipients are
preparing to rampage like they did in Baltimore and
Ferguson when they don't get their way?

Greg Gutfeld on Fox News claimed that it is absurd

to argue that, if the Confederate flag is taken away
now, eventually the flag of the United States will be
taken away at some point not too far down the road. It
15

is less absurd than the moronic postmodernism that

permeates his eponymous Sunday night broadcast.

Does Amazon intend to ban products bearing Islamist

symbols similar to those hoisted by the Jihadists
during the assault?

In the Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC, a bicyclist

exposing himself to a young girl and a woman. In
solidarity with the victims of this vile act, shouldn't
the nation rally against bicycles? In selfcongratulatory gestures displaying celebrating how
progressively sympathetic we are as a society, retailers
should stop selling bicycles and related bicycle
merchandise. Governments ought to end the support
of bicycles by rescinding funds for bicycle
infrastructure such as lanes, paths, and racks. If you
support these proposals, it is obvious that you aren't
willing to do what is necessary to stop the predators
that are emboldened to perpetrate these crimes as a
result of advancements in self-propelled personal
transportation vehicles.

In his analysis of violent upheavals in Baltimore and

Ferguson, Malik Shabazz counseled that those
destorying property and rampaging in the streets still
needed to be loved. So why isn't he as magnanimous
when it comes to his endorsement of a plan to kill any
White person in sight irrespective of whether or not
they bear responsibility for the terrorist assault upon
the Charleston church?
In a panel discussion at the Southern Baptist
Convention, ethicist Russell Moore admonished that
Christian parents ashamed of their gay children. That
is, because Moore went on to assure, most gays aren't
like the activists depicted in the media. Does Moore
intend to extend the same broadminded charity to
Christians that refuse to take down the Confederate
flag or refuse to give up Conservative talk radio?
Moore has heaped homiletical condemnation and
mockery upon Christians that disagreed with his leftist
inclinations regarding these cultural practices.

Of the Confederate flag, Donald Trump said, ...let it

go, respect whatever it is that you have to respect
because there was a point in time and put it in a
museum. But I would take it down. What he is
saying that it is time for the South to surrender to the
inevitability of Yankee domination and the imposition
of the values of the Northeastern elites. If these are
the kinds of principles that Trump holds to and
espouses, on what grounds does he refute those
advocating acquiescence to Red China? Like the
Confederacy, how do we know that American
economic independence isn't something meant to be
relegated to a museum?

Univision removed the Miss USA pageant from its

programming schedule over Donald Trump's
insightful observation that the swarms of illegals
pouring over America's borders aren't exactly the
cream of the crop in terms of human capital. In
response, Trump has threatened to sue the network.
But how is the removal of Trump's beauty pageant
from the airwaves markedly different than his demand
that the Confederate flag be removed from public
display?

A pastor remarked that the phrase Dance with the

devil you know did not sound like Biblical advice
even it it was apropos. Now is that because the adage
seems to counsel compromise with Satan or rather
because dancing was involved? In certain Baptist
circles, the greater outrage might be that dancing was
involved.

On It's Academic, Hillary Howard is in a sleeveless

blouse. In his decades hosting, did Mack McGary
ever appear on the program sleeveless?
It was said on a news special designed to work
everyone into a terror over summer weather claimed
that interest in survival training is at an all time high.
Now doubt because of a love of nature. Likely
nothing to do whatsoever with rampaging inner city
mobs, the abolition of the Confederate flag, and the
federal recognition of sodomite matrimony.

Citizens are being assured that the lowered

Confederate flags will find a place in a museum. But
given the propaganda, distortions, and outright lies
subtly disseminated through these venues of public
display regarding evolution, how long will this
esteemed artifact be allowed to remain on display or
undefiled by falsehoods or condemnations pertaining
to it.

A news program designed to work everyone up into a

terror over summer weather listed the equipment one
ought to take during a trek through the wilderness.
Shouldn't a firearm have also been on the list?

One has been decapitated and over a dozen injured in

Godless Cathedral Dean Wants History Censored In The Name Of Revolution

The Dean of the National Cathedral in Washington
wants stained glass windows honoring Stonewall
Jackson and Robert E. Lee removed.
The idea is that the role of
the Cathedral is not so much to
serve as an historical memorial
but rather as a tool of
propaganda to subliminally
manipulate those exposed to the
edifice into embracing the
revolutionary consciousness
preferred by the prevailing
elite.
If the windows
commemorating the
Confederacy are to come down,
should the body of Woodrow
Wilson be disinterred from its
resting place in these formerly
holy halls?
After all, was not the former
president a segregationist, so
much so that he resegregated
the civil service?
But then again, his corpse
will probably be allowed to
remain given that he embraced
the preferred mindset of this
cathedral's religion that the
masses of humanity exist to be molded and
conditioned by the technocrats ruling over them.
While we are at it, perhaps the questions should be
raised as to how long until the Cathedral tosses its

Christian iconography out with the morning trash as

well?
After all, Gary Hall, the Dean of the Cathedral, is
on record in the
Washington Post
claiming to be a
Christian atheist,
meaning that he doesn't
believe in God but not so
much so as to forsake his
comfortable churchprovided lifestyle.
His ecclesiastical
superior, Bishop Mariann
Budde, is little better.
According to
VirtueOnline, she
recently blasphemed in
the Cathedral by
admitting during an
ordination service that
she no longer prays in
the name of the Trinity.
And on the day the cross
is taken down, you will
probably find Republican
presidential candidates
stepping over each other
in the rush to get to the
microphone to posture and preen how wonderful it is
that the old emblem of suffering and shame will no
longer be allowed to sew division among the creeds
and faiths of the human species.

Random Observations
Perhaps the Southern Baptist Convention should be
abandoned for the establishment of a Confederate
Baptist Convention or a Confederate League Of
Christian Churches where people of all backgrounds
will be welcomed but that will not put up with the
bashing of traditional Americanism or White folks as
seems to be becoming an epidemic in many allegedly
orthodox and conservative churches.

The gays have accomplished for now what decades

and centuries ago most would have considered
impossible. It is now our turn to plant seeds and warp
minds in a long game where this cultural outrage can
be one day overturned either reformationally or
constitutionally
A news program designed to work viewers up into a

days of the year occur during the season. That

Why Are Some Radicals Viewed As More Subversive Than Others?

A number of Republicans are being pressured to
refund campaign contributions from an organization
known as the Council of Conservative Citizens
because of the group's less than enthusiastic
endorsement of interracial relationships.
Should Democrats be forced to return donations
from the variety of ethnosupremacist front groups
drawn to that party's ideology of heavy-handed statist
interventionism such as the NAACP and La Raza?
And what of potential contributors to Democrats

actually linked to advocating revolutionary violence

such as CAIR or the Occupy Movement?
FBI files reveal that Obama advisor Valerie Jarret
has a Communist pedigree that can be traced back for
decades.
Therefore, shouldn't concerns be raised over
Obama's questionable links as rigorously as Ted
Cruz's or even Mike Huckabee speaking before an
event with shady sponsorship?

Unfettered Capitalism Or Fascistic Central Planning?

Eric Boling on the Five has celebrated retailers
banning the sale of Confederate paraphernalia and
memorabilia as a triumph of the free market system.
But is this the triumph of unfettered capitalism or
yet another example of fascistic elites imposing their
iron-fisted social engineering?
In a free market system, wouldn't those that desire

Confederate merchandise be allowed to purchase all

that they desired?
For is that not the doctrine of the faction of Fox
News analysts that extol the economic above all other
social spheres when it comes to things such as hard
liquor, legalized narcotics, and debauched
entertainment?

Southern Baptist Functionary Downplays Opposition To Gay Marriage

In a videotaped response to the Supreme Court
decision authorizing gay marriage, Southern Baptist
functionary Russell Moore counseled that a pastor that
was gloomy or angry in response was not exhibiting
the spirit of the Gospel.
Therefore, was Christ not reflecting the Gospel
when He drove the moneychangers from the Temple
as He flipped over tables and drove them from the
premises at the receiving end of a knotted chord?
Moore further reflected that we must not succumb
to the American mode of anger where we demonize
our enemies.
Does Moore mean in a way similar to the
disparaging characterizations he has made regarding
Christians that listen to Conservative talk radio and
are reluctant to take down the Confederate flag?

Perhaps Dr. Moore would prefer that we adopt the

ghetto mode of anger given his preference for that
demographic as of late where we would loot the
inventory of a local merchant that has nothing to do
with the dispute setting off such upheaval.
Of would the Al Qada mode of anger be more
appropriate where jetliners are flown into
skyscrapers?
The strength of Protestant Evangelical scholarship
has been an enthusiasm for what words mean.
At the core of the word demonize is demon.
Shouldn't those bent of destroying God's intended
order for humanity be opposed strongly?
If you aren't going to get upset about that intent,
there really isn't anything to get jacked out of shape
about.

Privatized Marriage Still Allows Gay Marriage

Rand Paul suggests that, in the light of the
Supreme Court ruling in favor of gay marriage, the
relational institution should be privatized.
How does that protect a Christian baker from being
compelled to bake wedding cakes against their will?
Relatedly, as a heterosexual, even if granting
marriage licenses to same sex couples demeans the
institution overall, how would it compromise the state

of you own union if you as a heterosexual acquires a

marriage license under this expanded judicial
mandate?
If you don't love your spouse to a sufficient extent
isn't that more your own fault rather than the state
recognition of marriage being extended to those that
should not have it?

Baptist Elites Turn Against Their Membership In Confederate Flag Frenzy

Southern Baptist functionary Russell Moore is
urging White Christians to comply with demands to
surrender the Confederate flag.
Moore propagandizes, The Cross and the
Confederate flag cannot coexist without one setting
the other on fire. White Christians, let's listen to our
African-American brothers and sisters.
Why among these ecclesiastical milksops is it
always the obligation of the White person to
compromise?
If race does not really exist as some of these
leftwing theologians insist when they attempt to
denigrate Whites any other time, why are they
reluctant to condemn the flagrant sins engaged in by
certain segments of the Black community such as the
deliberate destruction of property following a
controversial jury verdict or law enforcement tactical
decision?
If we are obligated as Christians to downplay our
earthly identities for the sake of heavenly unity, why
did Russell Moore not condemn the National Hispanic
Christian Leadership Conference as an organization
that does not advance the cause of brotherhood among
all Christians but rather an agenda focused upon
determining the worth of an individual not by the
content of their character but rather by the color of
their skin.
Why did this seminarian instead accept a position
on the board of the National Hispanic Christian
Leadership Conference?
In his column extolling the imperative of lowering
the Confederate ensign, Dr. Moore condemned White
Citizens' Councils that attempted to rally and speak on
behalf of what such entities construed as the interests
of that particular pigmentation extraction during the
tumultuous era of desegregation.
Would he accept a position in a similar agency
charged with the purpose of looking out for the
interests of White Evangelicals in this era where
increasing accolades are lavished upon certain
individuals for really no other reason than that they
happen to be members of certain groups, or would
Moore at least extend his blessings to the formation of
just such an organization?
One could not help but notice how quickly Russell
Mooore called for the surrender of the Confederate
flag.
Was this Southern Baptist functionary as prompt in
condemning the Knockout Game where groups of
marauding Blacks pick a victim (often a Whiter

person denigrated as a snowflake) for the sole

purposes of determining how many blows to the head
are required to render the target unconscious?
It is argued that the Confederate flag should be
removed from the grounds of the South Carolina State
House and ultimately the wider culture altogether
largely because of how that banner is perceived by
certain people.
If this is being done largely on the basis of feeling
which as an existential inclination which cannot really
be categorized as right or wrong, what if someone gets
a turd crossways about the official state flag of South
Carolina with the crescent moon on it which in some
minds might evoke traumas and phobias associated
with Islam?
Why aren't those with that particular psychological
shortcoming or deficiency being catered to if entire
cultures must be comprehensively altered because a
few disgruntled activists are predisposed to rampaging
in the streets and destroying private property when
they don't happen to get their way?
But because a symbol or custom offends a
particular segment of the population, does that mean
the endorsement of such by the state must be
rescinded?
A noticeable percentage of the population no doubt
questions the legitimacy of Black History Month.
Does that mean the celebration should be ended?
And what about gay marriage?
If outspoken principled conservatives and ministers
of the Gospel emboldened by the Holy Spirit can turn
the tide on this issue, does that mean the state sanction
for such unions should be revoked or at least the
formation of additional licensed couplings prohibited
because public opinion wills such?
Interestingly, the anti-Dixie mindset has not
confined itself to the ranks of the Southern Baptist
Convention of which the organization's leadership
often crave the applause and establishmentarian
approval that has doomed the doctrinal fidelity of
numerous other denominations.
It has even spread to a number of Independent
Baptists where is has predictably taken on even more
fanatical tones as often occurs in this related divergent
ecclesiastical movement.
In their analysis of Russell Moore's column
regarding the Confederate flag, Sean Harris of the
Berean Baptist Church in a SermonAudio podcast was
baffled by and mocked the Southern Baptist
functionary's confession that the only things Moore
19

loved more than his native Mississippi were Christ,

the Church, and his family.
Harris contemptuously verbalized that, in this day
of social mobility and diversity, how is it that an
individual could possess such an emotional devotion
and connection to their native state.
In his online biography, Pastor Harris details his
distinguished career in the U.S. military.
So why is expressing such dedication to your
country in that particular manner on the part of a
Christian acceptable but not to a particular jurisdiction
within that particular country?
Does the pastor ridicule missionaries with a heart
for a particular area or people group?
As a carpetbagger from Massachusetts, perhaps
Pastor Harris ought not to ridicule that which he does
not understand.
Just because he has lived a life of globetrotting, it
does not follow that everyone else is so required by
either inclination or circumstance.
It has been suggested that the Confederate flag
should be removed because those that marched under
it shot and killed American soldiers.
Should the American flag be equally exiled
because General Sherman, marching under that
ensign, destroyed civilian property?
Pastor Harris assured that he is so dedicated to the
Lord that he doesn't even want to be associated with

the flag of the United States.

Then why do his online biographies provide
significant detail regarding his military service?
If patriotism is to be viewed as something little
better than wicked, isn't listing such achievements
akin to someone in the porn industry not only listing
what films they appeared in but what roles they
played.
Pastor Sean Harris of Berean Baptist Church
argued that no Christian should display the
Confederate flag because of the hurtful connotations
associated with it.
People have also been hurt in the name of the
Cross and the Bible as well.
Some Jews won't even look up at a steeple as they
pass by a church.
So ought Christians to also renounce these symbols
of culture and creed while we are at it?
If certain churches are bent on jumping on the antiConfederate bandwagon, that is certainly their
prerogative under the First Amendment.
Likewise, no American is obligated to remain in a
church that bashes a specific heritage (especially that
of those that have been with that particular theological
grouping or ecclesiastical affiliation for decades and
generations) in order to attract another or to win favor
with the self-appointed benefactors of such
demographics.

Famed Tolerancemonger Suggests His The Only Allowable Opinion

George Takei has said that Clarence Thomas is a
clown in Black face that should not be allowed to sit
on the Supreme Court.
For suggesting that the swarms of illegals pouring
over the border might not be the best that Latin
America has to offer, a systematic campaign is
underway to economically destroy Donald Trump.
Clarence Thomas has fulfilled the requirements to be
where he is.
Irrespective of what Donald Trump said, those he
said it of have no right to be here.

Therefore, shouldn't George Takei be ostracized in

a similar manner?
The Duke's of Hazard has been removed from the
airwaves under the theory that catching a glimpse of
the Confederate flag painted on the roof of the
General Lee might send a viewer into a homicidal
rampage.
Should Star Trek also be removed from station
programming rotations for fear of seeing George
Takei eliciting a similarly psychotic response?

Random Observations
An immigrant restaurant owner is threatening to
pull out of the Post Office Pavilion redevelopment
project as a result of Donald Trump's comments. If
Mexico is such a wonderful place with nothing but
first rate people, why did this migrant come here
rather than live out his life in an alleged Third World
paradise?

The Dukes Of Hazard was removed from the

airwaves because of those allegedly victimized by the
Confederate flag or merely offended by it.
Extrapolating from the logic, shouldn't Shark Week
broadcasts be canceled out of respect for those
mangled and disfigured in attacks along the Atlantic
coastline?

What Does Christianity Today Have Against White People?

Conservative Evangelicals really need to stop and
ask what does the magazine Christianity Today have
against White people.
In the April 2015 edition, there were at least two
articles that would have been construed as racist if
written from the opposite perspective.
In the first, three theologians were asked, Which
false teachings are evangelical Christians most
tempted to believe in?
Before we get started, the e in the evangelical
is not capitalized.
In a story regarding the Roman Catholic or
Orthodox Churches, would those beginning letters be
decapitalized so as to minimize the importance of
these sects?
But now, back to the tirade.
Fuller Theological Seminar Professor Amos Young
responded that racism is the one.
In his piece, the academic denounces the longstanding Euro-American cultural privilege.
He writes, Too many times, ethnic minorities,
especially Blacks and Hispanics are marginalized and
blamed for it.
Does Christianity Today intend to publish an
expose on the frothing anti-White and anti-American
sentiment emanating from the pulpits of many
lefwting and minority churches?
The second anti-White incident in this very same

issue of Christianity Today occurred in an interview

regarding a book by church historian Justo Gonzalez
on the Gospel of Luke.
The article celebrates how the text applies a Latin
American lens to familiar parts of Scripture.
The review obsequiously ponders, When a Latin
American theologian reads Luke, what there gets
noticed that others might underplay?
Does Christianity Today intend to publish an article
openly asking with uncontainable anticipation of other
noted scholars, When a Teutonic American reads
[insert preferred Biblical text here], what themes get
noticed that others might underplay.
Perhaps a New Testament gem that gets overlooked
these days is that, if you don't work, you don't eat.
In his reply to the interview, Gonzalez celebrates
how the Scripture is worded to favor the poor over the
rich.
Therefore, it needs to be asked in regards to the
royalties for the books he has sold over the years
should these instead be given to someone that hasn't
worked as hard as Justo Gonzalez to master these
fields of scholarship?
Or does this Marxist posturing only apply to other
people, particular those such as Whites that the editors
of Christianity Today have gotten on the bandwagon
against?

Crooked Televangelists More Outside Of God's Will Than Retirees

In an appearance on Kenneth Copeland's broadcast,
Evangelical Historian David Barton claimed that
retirement is not a Biblical concept.
Before condemning a concept because it might not
be explicitly authorized in Scripture, shouldn't one try
to live up to those that actually are?
For example, in regards to the purveyors of errant
doctrine such as Kenneth Copeland, shouldn't Barton
come out from among him and be ye separate?
God might not have intended human beings to

retire.
However, it's probably a safe assertion that the
Deity is more peeved about ministers that
manipulate their congregations and viewing audiences
through outlandish religious claims into donating gobs
of money to finance the preacher's swanky lifestyle.
However, that apparently didn't prevent Barton
from appearing on the broadcast of an infamous
huckster like Kenneth Copeland.

Random Observations
A social media status update posted by the Western
Journalism Center read 'Like' if you think we need a
candidate like Ronald Reagan in the White House."
But didn't Regan play a part in getting the ball rolling
in terms of surrendering to the illegal aliens and the
authorization of the assorted Executive Orders that

could institute a near totalitarian police state with the

flick of a pen?
So if gays can compel Christian businesses to render
services in support of their blasphemous nuptials, shouldn't
insurance companies be compelled to render financial
services to churches opposed to gay marriage?

21

Is Prominent Evangelical Historian Losing His Grip On Common Sense?

Contrary to David Barton in an appearance on an
episode of Kenneth Copeland's broadcast, it does not
necessarily follow that, because an idea cannot be
linguistically expressed in Hebrew, it is not
conceptually valid.
For example, Barton went on to insist that the
concept of adolescence does not exist because it
cannot be articulated in Biblical Hebrew.
In that culture, one was considered an adult around
13 or 14 years of age deemed ready to assume the
status as such.
The increasing number of ministers that cannot
seem to keep their hands of the underaged are going to
love that little nugget of supposed exegesis.
In terms of that philosophical highpoint, Barton's

loosening grip on reality becomes even more tenuous.

According to Barton, the concept of rights do not
exist in Hebrew.
He insinuates that these ought to be downplayed in
the American system with responsibilities instead
emphasized.
So when SWAT teams begin raiding churches for
failing to solemnize gay marriages, on what grounds
does he raise a fuss in defense of those punished for
non-compliance?
Do some of these professional religionists
contemplate the implications of what they articulate or
do they simply spew that which postures them in the
most pious light possible?

No Pleasing Historical Revisionists

There is little pleasing historical revisionists these
days.
There is a movement to redo a World War I
memorial in Emmitsburg, Maryland honoring the
town's veterans of that particular conflict.
Three of the names are singled out for being
Colored Soldiers.
Given the nature of the era in which the monument
was erected, shouldn't historical revisionists be
delighted that the town fathers recognized the
contribution of these particular patriots anyway
despite the perceptions that might have been prevalent
in that day?

Had the original monument incorporated all of the

names as a singular group, multiculturalists would
likely instigate a kerfuffle how the Black soldiers
should have been singled out for special recognition
because of answering the call of their country to duty
despite not being allowed to enjoy the blessings of
that country in their day to the fullest.
If American History is now to be viewed as an
integrated whole, will the same civic leaders issue a
proclamation how such a progressive and forward
thinking hamlet will from this day henceforward no
longer be celebrating Black History Month but rather
simply History Month?

Conservative Pundit Counsels Surrender Towards Revolutionary Hordes

In a broadcast editorial transcript, columnist Cal
Thomas admits that some of what Donald Trump has
said regarding illegal aliens is correct.
However, in Thomas' estimation, a candidate
cannot bludgeon one's way into the Oval Office.
Instead one must have a positive, unifying
message.
As such, Republicans should distance themselves
from the bombastic billionaire.
I have respected Cal Thomas for decades and
consider his own style an influence upon my own.
Given his own track record of verbal bluntness, does
that mean Conservatives and Christians should
distance themselves from this aging toupeed
pecksniff?
At a certain point, these calls for toleration and

broadmindedness threaten national and even

individual survival.
Did Churchill go out of his way to point out that
not all Nazis were necessarily involved with the worst
atrocities of the Third Reich?
Those insisting upon death by a thousand
qualifications in relation to the immigrant invasion no
doubt ranked among those outraged as if Pope
Benedict was a part of the Fuhrer's inner circle for his
membership in the Hitler Youth during his boyhood
even though he had little choice in the matter.
And what if ISIS or the Red Chinese Army were to
gain a foothold in the continental United States?
Would national leaders be required at that point in
the future to linguistically trip all over themselves
how that not everyone marching under the banners of
22

those particular adversaries were necessarily engaged

directly in acts of unconscionable violence?
For if we as a nation cannot confront a for the most
part unorganized onslaught without fear paralyzing us

into inaction, what makes you think that the

compromisers and vacillators will stand any more
bravely when systematized atrocities at the hands of
foreigners begin to break out in American streets?

Four Out Of THE FIVE Duped By Papal Environmentalism

That was certainly a textbook case of cognitive
dissonance.
The other pundits of The Five lambasted fellow
talkinghead Greg Gutfeld for excoriating Pope Francis
for perpetuating a dangerous anti-capitalist mindset.
The others attempted to persuade Gutfeld that what
the Pope really opposed was simply materialism and
greed.
In the next segment, these very same media elites
who already possess more than the Pope would allow
under his regime of global asceticism and income
redistribution bemoaned that the bargains offered

during Amazon's twentieth anniversary sale didn't

exactly live up to the hype as they had hoped.
When Gutfeld pointed out that Amazon wouldn't
even be available if innovation was restricted to levels
suggested by Pope Francis, he was ordered to give it a
break and that he was in danger of hellfire for simply
countering the Pope in an area outside of that
position's narrow area of expertise.
However, the only thing that puts you in danger of
hellfire is if you believe that something other than
calling upon name of the Lord Jesus Christ can
possibly keep you from there.

Trump's Comments No More Distasteful Than Other Remarks Undermining America

John McCain wants Donald Trump to apologize for
remarks perceived as insensitive to veterans. Fair
enough.
But that apology should only be offered should
McCain also apologize in part for snide remarks he
has made regarding grassroots conservatives over the
years but more importantly for undermining border
security.
Distasteful as they were, not a single person will be
physically harmed as a result of Trump's callous quip.
Thousands have no doubt been injured and their
lives ruined as profoundly as a prison of war as a
result of McCain's failure to protect the border.
It is suggested that Donald Trump's unfortunate
remarks regarding John McCain should disqualify the
billionaire from the presidency.
Then why haven't Barack Obama's remarks that
have been just as offensive and perhaps an even more

profound threat to America's constitutional

foundations disqualify him from occupying the Oval
Office?
Perhaps these should be reviewed once again.
As a candidate, Barack Obama denigrated rural
Pennsylvanians for bitterly clinging to their guns and
their God.
Would he have said something similar regarding
Muslims?
As a candidate, Barack Obama told Joe the
Plumber how wealth should be seized from those that
produced it and redistributed to those that have not
really made much of an effort at being productive.
As president, Obama reiterated the collectivist
perspective when he chided entrepreneurs, business
owners, and any other American that struggles to pull
their own weight, Hey, you didn't build that.
