The former was rooted in the soil of the uniquely American Judeo-Christian tradition, spearheaded by Christian leaders, and was essentially “moderate” in its demands. It sought the restoration of civil rights won in the Civil War and ratified in the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, with additional, necessary protections for the mediating institutions essential to the African-American community: family, home, church, school, and business. In this way, the Civil Rights Movement was like the American Revolution, seeking to restore rather than destroy.

The latter was rooted in the soil of elitist postmodern philosophy, spearheaded by secular libertines, and was essentially “radical” in its demands. It sought public affirmation of the lie that the human person is an autonomous blob of Silly Putty unconstrained by nature or biology, and that marriage, sexuality, gender identity, and even the unborn child must yield to the erotic desires of liberated adults. In this way, the Sexual Revolution was more like the French Revolution, seeking to destroy rather than restore.

He spells out the contrast perfectly.

Pandora’s Box has been opened and the total state looms ahead. What Americans have fought and died for since the Founder’s days is being spit upon and thrown away by our tyrannical overlords.

>>We’ve been here before.

Uhuh.


Luke 17:26-29

26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
NIV


Human nature, and the manipulative exploitation of it, hasn’t change much.

One wonders if America will continue the long slide into the ash heap of history without even a whimper.

>>their millennia-old religious belief that marriage and sexual relations are reserved to the union of one man and one woman.

Tossing religiously state-established created things into Baal’s fire doesn’t unexist the facts that:

A: Natural Selection selected Sex (the genetic exchange between Male and Female) because Sex (and Sexual Dimorphism) increases fitness of species.

B: What reprobate perverts have have selected isn’t Sex, but nothing more or less than the worship of mutual masturbation and themselves.

C: Romans 1:25+ describes the results of when human nature manifested the same behavior, historically, in the past.

it is used to exclude based on normal marriage.
it is used as hate speech.

Very well written article- The battle is however over- for the following reason:

The courts have done what science has failed to do for lack of evidence- they have classified homosexuality and perversions as a ‘genetic condition’ on par with being black, or Hispanic, or whatever ethnicity you would like to compare it to-

We can never go back to sane rational policies- Homosexuality has now been deemed moral because the courts have declared it is a trait (not in so many terms, but by comparing it to interracial marriages, and black folks getting the right to vote- they by implication have deemed it a genetic trait, and not a lifestyle choice- had it been declared a lifestyle choice, states would still be free to ban marriages because iof the harm that lifestyle choice does to society and to families)

Now that the courts have essentially made homosexuality a genetic trait, (something gay people ‘can’t help’), any attempt ot repeal it, or ignore it will be seen as violating their ‘rights’, and the left will scream bloody hell if anyone dares try-

Homosexuality is now the ‘new race of people’ after the court declared it eligible for protections afforded only to race.

Homosexuality has been declared moral by the courts by being removed from the ‘sexual deviancy’ list of sexual perversions that are not allowed when it comes to marriages

The only way this battle can be won is IF God turns this country completely around like He did with the good kings that reigned after the bad kings destroyed the country with immoral laws- However, I believe God has turned His face from this country- possibly for the purpose of ushering in the end times battle, as we are seeing immorality spread like wildfire throughout the world, AND we are seeing a very rapid rise of terrorism and religious bigotry against God and Christians- Christians all over the world are being murdered simply for being Christian- and we’re seeing a very strong concerted effort to destroy Christian values and morality in this country- as seen by this bill

Rick Santorum was correct in the last presidential campaign when he said that some people's idea of liberty and freedom owes more to the French Revolution than to the American Revolution.

Conservative republicans need to understand that. We are not monarchists. We do believe some things which in the late 1700s were truly radical. We do believe in “We the People,” not some sort of hereditary nobility or educated aristocracy or monied business elite, being the root of government. And for that reason we can and should reject the idea of a majority of nine black-robed unelected judges being able to make fundamental changes in our nation's laws. That kind of system is not a republic but a system of unelected “philosopher kings,” and conservatives need to reject it as contrary to our values.

But we can't go to the other extreme and follow the model of the French Revolution. We believe in a republic, not a pure democracy, and there are important differences between the two.
