It is not a cultural war...it is a war between deities...between Right and wrong, Truth and lies.


The Left is at war with Religion, more specifically with Christians that accept Creation.

With Creation, they can’t justify their proclivities for behavior they engage in.

Creation provides a foundation for belief.

Creation provides a foundation for morals.

Morals are “Objective” with Creation. ie.. “The raping and torture of infants is wrong and everybody knows that it’s wrong”

The Left wants us to believe that morals are “Subjective”. Meaning, while they may see it as wrong if others don’t, well that’s OK too.

They would have us believe that our morals are the result of evolution. We evolved this way and could have evolved in a different way and some people have a different evolved moral compass.

The Left seeks to undermine the very foundations of belief. The foundations of both what we know as true or false and how we know this.

Most of the Left’s belief system is from the “humanist movement” and most of that philosophy comes from Buddhism. It’s a philosophy of uncertainty. It’s built on the idea that we are all spiritual beings that are interconnected with energy forces that reach into the entire Universe.

The lefts overriding belief is that we are all the result of this randomly evolved process and it’s beautiful. Different is beautiful and must be celebrated and promoted. This is why they say they are “open-minded”.

The War.

The war is on the certainty of Creation and the traditions it has advanced. The left needs to undermine and destroy anybody and anything that stands on the foundational knowledge of these traditions that are rooted in Creation.

The left believes that freedom from certainty is the only freedom that truly exists.

Ultimately, they are at war with themselves.

The left has always been at war with civilization. I am hoping that civilization fights back before its too late, and if they do it is going to be a glorious smack down.

You certainly make a valid point, but the original Tea Party coalesced around one thing and that was the fiscal cliff looming, because of spending. It brought many disparate people together around one simple threat.

Somehow that whole effort was overtaken by personalities and it morphed from one single issue into claims of social issues and rumors of who was or was not in charge of leading the Tea Party and then came the presidential election and the Tea Party was used to beat Republicans over the head. So, you do have to have leadership for any lasting effectiveness.

There are at least two groups on the left.

The ones that know exactly what they are doing and want to control everything.

And the “useful idiots” that unwittingly do their bidding. The idiots are the ones in the streets protesting and I would include the MSM in this group.

IMHO, the culture war we are fighting is against the idiots.

And since they get cover from the MSM, they have been winning.

I think the MSM knows exactly what they are doing and will be in full support of the massacres when they start

I respectfully disagree.

There may be a few media executives that know what they are doing, but for the most part they are clueless.

At the very least the camera facing dolts are clueless.

> “Were I asked to install a fish tank in a local abortion center or gay club I would have to pray about it.”

Fish Tanks are a false equivalence, non-comparable to floral arrangements, singing, photographing, decorating, cake making, honey moon inns, parading ... or any activity that celebrates an abomination, a sin before God.

We are all sinners. But if we believe in Him, we repent of our sins, we try to do better, WE DO NOT CELEBRATE OUR SIN.

We can make cakes, floral arrangements, rent rooms, decorate an interior and so on for people we suspect are homosexual,
but this is not the same as CELEBRATING THEIR PERVERSITY IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

Your fish tanks are not a celebration of holy matrimony or any other sacred rite. They are ornaments to decorating or of meditation or of curiosity or wonder. To put them in abortion clinics or homosexual clubs is not celebrating sin. It is merely a statement of creatures that live in the water that remind people of the wonders of nature.

You have no idea about the sacred nature of my work. How dare you acuse me of false equivalency.

...”We no longer have a culture. We have a counterculture that occasionally masquerades as the culture”...

And unfortunately it’s in charge currently.

Would like hear about the ‘sacred’ nature of your fish tanks in regards to Holy Matrimony.

Perhaps you can reveal a perspective that is educational. I just don’t see how you can draw a comparison but am willing to read what you write.

This is not a debate and you are in no position to determine the legitimacy of my position. I am under no obligation to discuss my spiritual life more than I have. Were you a visitor to my shop I would probably find it necessary to eject you from the premises.

Gay marriage ain’t the issue. It is the new fflag burning. Why did Pence go on Stepenalloverus? So the Uniparty would have, yet again, some new reason to get ginned up that was frivolous crap that wouldn’t actually mean anything. When will we say ENOUGH! 18 Trillion and spending more every day but Fag marriage is the issue? I ain’t buying the Bovine Scat anymore.

He laid it out very clearly - the problem is, he is correct when he says that the Left will also aim to reduce our will to fight back effectively. The farther we let them go, the less likely we will be able to organize a workable opposition.
