That’s what the other side is trying to do ... destroy is as an organized force!
What I’ve thought about this legislation, all along, is that it’s the “gay issue” that brought it out ... BUT ... it’s not JUST about gays, but preventing Christian business owners from being forced into do several things that they consider to be VIOLATIONS of deeply-held religious convictions!
I posted elsewhere ...

To me, this kind of legislation seems to have a lot more to do with OTHER THINGS, other than gays. It seems that the “gay issue” is driving the discussion, but to me, that “gay issue” seems to be a minor point, as compared to ALL of what legislation guaranteeing “Christian Conscience” in business is about.
Unless I’m mistaken about what this kind of bill means, I see this bill as preserving the “conscience” of a Christian owner of a business from serving or doing business with a person who violates that “religious conscience” by who they are or what they represent or what they stand for. SO, in that sense, it is NOT TARGETED at gays, but all sorts of other things that would violate the “Christian’s conscience”!
A sampling of some other things I can think of, in which one would DENY SERVICE to people, would be a group coming in for Pizza who supports ABORTION! That would really violate a Christian’s conscience.
Or, if a Mormon church group came in and had an “after church Pizza gathering” some Sunday afternoon. I would DENY THEM SERVICE as they are one of the largest CULT GROUPS in America ... and as far as I’m concerned Mormons shouldn’t get service from ANY CHRISTIAN BUSINESS WHATSOEVER, ANYWHERE!!
If Mitt Romney were to come in to that Pizza place he SHOULD BE DENIED SERVICE because of clearly being a Mormon!
I would DENY SERVICE to GLENN BECK, too, for his Mormonism!
SO ... it doesn’t appear to be a “gay issue” but a VERY REAL “Religious Conscience” issue and opens the door to CHRISTIAN BUSINESS to serving Christians and not VIOLATING their religious conscience!
We seem to know exactly how we are being overtaken by all those warring against America. What is missing from the equation is a leader to war right back.
For every given isn’t there a reverse energy? Where is it and who the hell in charge of executing it?
Where is our DeGaulle?
This may well be the most important piece Daniel has ever written. The proof - it is without graphics. It needs none. It delves into our hearts with penetrating truths we must acknowledge.He has given us the way forward. We WILL survive.
The left does not have an authentic culture. Its counter-culture culture is a machine of destruction, a clumsily slapped-together assemblage of tools for cracking open, destroying and dominating people. A collection of lies and excuses, smears and bad habits, laced over with cultural appropriation and the fetisihization of the minority 'Other' as its sole source of spirituality. It has no tradition. It has no heritage. It has no culture. It's a virus, not an organism. It is utterly worthless and, like a virus, will not survive the destruction of its host.
But we will survive because our lives are the revolution and we cannot all be killed, smashed and beaten down.
We will survive and the left will be footnoted in the history of worthless evil empires as a particularly disgusting skid mark.
Thanks for posting, it adds some perspective to all of the madness.
Wow... What a profound piece of writing....
Hard to even comment there is so much meat to chew on...
There are three, in no particular order: Ted Cruz in government, Franklin Graham in religion, and Rush Limbaugh in media. There are a few million in this country who would follow that triumvirate straight into hell, rip out its insides, and return victorious.
Best written analysis of the situation and call to action I have ever seen.
Sign me up as a “cultural warrior”. Must be getting old. Been in this fight since 1965 but this time it is for the very soul and existence of our beloved America.
Take no prisoners. Show no mercy. Out-think them. Out-plan them. Ridicule them. Show them up with facts and humor. Do a “reverse Alinsky” on them.
“No rest, no mercy, no nothing” for the Left except defeat and destruction!
I like it when a plan comes together.
Thank you Daniel. Your plan may well get us out of the “lion’s den”.
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
The leaders of the Democrat Party, with the exception of their puppet President, are getting old and wrinkled.
What is perceived to be the predecessor “culture” conversely was also a made-up set of values imposed by socialists of a different stripe.
Look into the background and implementation of the “Hays Code” which controlled content of motion pictures for a generation. It was enforced under FDR.
Look into the connections, placements and real-life actions of Frank Stanton who ran programming of CBS-TV, including connections with the CIA and propaganda operatives from the Third Reich who were brought over here just after WWII in Operation Paperclip.
The large print and TV media in the US was largely a closed shop in the 1950’s until the late 1960’s, so much so that no one actively reported the shenanigans of LBJ and his administration adequately when it would have made a real difference.
The legacy of LBJ is one we’re still living with, now over 50 years after the facts.
Watch all those groups go after each other, after they are done eating Christian white guys
Our DeGaulle will show up AFTER the Reign of Terror most likely
We are not planning a revolution. Our lives are the revolution.
Beautifully put.
This may indeed be the most important piece he has ever written. It is almost a “call to arms” IMO. Inspires hope and determination.
Last night, my wife said that maybe we should beg off a coming weekend with some good (but liberal) out-of town friends were eager to have with us. She said “lets just stop by and say hello but knowing their politics, I am not all that eager to spend that much time with them.” I had been thinking the same thing. It is a shame, but divorce on a very personal level is upon us. I don’t plan to use social media (Facebook etc.) to elaborate all of this, but rather just to remove myself from anything that I know is contrary to my religious and political beliefs. I know and respect friends that are gay, politically liberal, irreligious and the like. The change in my relationship with them may be subtle but its longterm intent is profound.I hate it..but it is upon us.
Yep.
Eventually the adults take a day off from work to end this penny ante crap, saying “Okay, Children. This has gone on long enough. Move along...get a job but, GTFO of the way”.
Yes.
Actually, no...all wars are not culture wars.
Wars are leadership wars.
If a leader can mobilize his followers to wage war (by whatever means)...there will be war.
That said, culture is one of the tools a leader might use...but not the only tool.
