Pop culture is not our culture

No matter how much they try to convince us.  I was only able to make it halfway through two of the music videos for the recently advertised MTV Video Music Awards and I couldn't help but notice the large cross hanging around this star's neck. 

 

 

 

The use of Christian symbols is intentional on multiple levels.  One's first reaction might be to assume they are mocking.  Instead I believe that it's intended to normalize, to signal to the viewer that it's alright to partake in the fake culture being presented them.

Remember, we are in the world, not of it.

Charles Murray - By The People

An intellectual morass of okay-ish ideas and an overwhelming desire to not be seen as racist pervades this writing of Charles Murray.

His plan is to found a defense fund (the Madison Fund, as he calls it) for those who partake in civil disobedience.  He then creates copious rules and few examples of what the fund would actually defend.  In practice it would be indistinguishable from defense funds like the HSLDA.  IE, his idea exists in areas where it is already plausible and there is a reason it does not exist for anything else.  We don't want it because we don't want a libertarian utopia distopia of billions of individual contracts to sort for even the smallest of misunderstandings.

The ever adapting conservatism

I find it interesting that they are only now entertaining the idea that the people in charge of this are "evil or terribly misinformed."  Remember, back in May they were simply "irresponsible" and "inaccurate."

Of course when it comes down to it, I expect many people on "our side" will be absolutely shocked at what the prometheans are capable of.  It seems as if it's not only the left that can't stop virtue signaling.

The real issue is that conservatism is always adapting to the fight, only working on current issues.  No principled stance on anything else.  This is simply because they stopped fighting for what they loved the very first time it became difficult to explain why. 

 

 

 

Homeschool resource - Book List

Here is the list of books that my wife and I are using in our homeschool curriculum this year.  While it's only for the approximate grade levels we use (7th, 5th, and 2nd), hopefully this can be useful for folks who need some help as I'm sure there are many new homeschoolers this year.

 

We adhere to a classical model of home education (similar to Classical Conversations) and this year's theme is US History.

If you decide to buy any of the following books, please purchase via the affiliate links below so we can keep providing resources like this!

 

"He had no reason to be there"

I've heard this phrase far too much from typical conservative Republican types.  "He shouldn't have put himself in that situation."  "Anyone involved on either side should be arrested."  "It's just adding fuel to the fire."

People who call themselves conservatives have yet to conserve anything.  They have vague principles but never defend what they claim to love.  Learn what your true politics are.  Vote early and vote often.  It's time to clean up your habitation, build something beautiful, and defend what you love. 

The "Faith leaders" of Church, Inc.

The liberals think that "faith leaders" are going to save them from 4 more years of a Trump presidency.

The prometheans are making inroads into your church buildings.  A tactical advantage to be sure but not a mortal blow.  Morality is intrinsically tied to the church and just as they have taken morality from the fabric of American culture, replacing the church body with Church, Inc. is the next step.  We would do well to remember that Christ's followers ARE the church.

Consider this video where Billy Graham and the interviewer talk about a "wideness in God's mercy."  God's mercy is not wide or general, is all-encompassing for those who seek it, but the road to get there is narrow.

But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Matthew 7:14

 

The inevitable victory

I encourage you to take time to express your gratitude for the abilities that God has gifted you in our fight against the world.  Remember it should be hard to be blackpilled when God's victory is already complete.

For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.  

1 John 5:4

 

He's NOT a child rapist

Just a run of the mill rapist.  PolitiFact can't even use those words as they describe it graciously as "nonconsensual sexual intercourse".

All of the Kenosha riots are over someone charged with third degree sexual assault was shot while he was most likely making a break for the gun in his car.  Stupidity runs deep and is further fueled by the leftist media, the "enemy of the people."

Homeschool, or Die

“Homeschool, or Die” is good rhetoric because the more the prometheans exert their power the closer it is to being literally true.  As Mrs. Day asserts:

The government is literally telling you that they are, at some point for some reason, planning to separate you from your child, and they are telling you how to plan for it.

 

 

 

Democrats are starting to see

 The inevitable reality of the upcoming election.

Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is  

- Hillary Clinton

 I think they're starting to get nervous.

Don't send your kids to college

Especially not Liberty University.  $10.5 million dollars will be going directly to a literal cuckold.  

All the money you've put into getting your kids an indoctrination education, all that time and hope and this "Christian" university just gave it away.  Did they actually help your kids?  Did you go into debt to send your kids there?  Did your kids go into debt to attend?

Lends at interest, and takes profit; shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon himself. - Ezekiel 18:13

Stop supporting Church, Inc. and start supporting your actual church family.  Support your local Christian brothers and sisters, you don't need these buildings and institutions that are built to serve the god of this world.

A story of convergence

On Convergence

I moved my family to an almost rural community in Central Virginia just over four years ago.  After a while I felt called to bring my family to a local church community and we started going to a rural Baptist church. 

The old folks appeared to have a handle on the community and control of the culture even though they had a very liberal pastor in place.  There was little convergence at this point however because he did not control the people who controlled the culture.

After about 5 months of attendance, the liberal pastor left and things got even better.  Our community seemed to flourish.  A few months later, however the church got an interim pastor who had spent his career with the International Mission Board organization.

Soon after becoming the interim pastor, the "pastor search committee" - which I will point out did not consist only of the elders of the church but was at least half women - decided to make a motion to have the interim pastor join full-time.  We weren't members yet so we couldn't vote and my few reservations may not have completely convinced me it was the wrong move anyway.  The church voted and he became the full-time pastor.

Immediately, he cut the number of hymns down from 5 to 3, changed our traditional Doxology to a simple and ill-fit melody, changed service time from 10:15 to 11:00, and soon fired the old lady who played piano for years and replaced her with a young buck.  Soon after, he did a library liquidation and sold or gave away all the books in the church's library. 

The preaching now started including quips about the "corporate sin" of racism that is common for us Virginia Confederates.  Messages about a generic love that will "break down walls between communities" abounded.  Missionaries were brought in to teach about the importance of caring for refugees. 

Corporate Christianity

The issue with Corporate Christianity is that it is always more Corporation than Christian.  

I went to Liberty University for the 2004-2005 school year (and failed about 60% of my classes, I was busy attending my future wife's classes) and they weren't very concerned about the type of student they accepted.  The school was more concerned if you were wearing flip flops or shirts with collars than the precepts taught by Christ.  Growth and money were paramount.  Evangelism class was simply a corporate attempt to use emotions to rile up students into literally participating in a call back, "Jesus is WHAAAT?"  "Jesus is AWESOME!".....  If you happened to be less enthused about it you could expect your grade to be docked.  Freshman class was about creating snitches.  They wanted you to know that if your roommate had any contraband - tobacco, R rated movies, etc - that you would be held responsible for it as well.  Remember, it's about towing the corporate line, personal relationships with Jesus be damned.

If your "Christianity" revolves around what is most certainly a corporate culture and not the teachings of Christ, you follow a very different god.  Letting yourself be cucked for 7 years is the antithesis of Christianity, but not Churchianity...

Vote early and often

If life is politics, then in addition to that realization, we must be voting constantly.  

Cancel your netflix when you see that it's actively promoting pedophilia.  

Drop Disney when they start promoting the LGBTQ+ agenda on your pre-teens.  

When your churches start welcoming all persons, know they've put out an invitation to the god of this world.

 

 

The old saying is "Vote early, vote often."  Some see this as cynical, but I prefer it as a reminder of the requirement that we need to be the early voters and we judge these things for ourselves.  Voting is simply a choice and we need to make these choices constantly.  Once someone shows you they aren't just fallen, but have become actively wicked, remove yourself and your family immediately.

The unbearable whiteness

The best part of this is how she seems oblivious to the fact that she is entirely focused on her blackness for the whole article and then she doesn't want her relationship to be pigeonholed because her partner is white.

Her blackness defines her according to her except when she decides it doesn't.

Let's make this a fair fight.

Twitter is once again censoring the President.   Instead of letting candidates say what they want, they have to stop them in order to make it even a little bit fair.  To be honest it's probably the only fair thing to do since the other candidate is constantly moving in and out of coherency.

Virginia plans...

 

Thankfully among those that I know, mandatory vaccinations won't get very far.  I think that most folks will rather homeschool and skip college than be given whatever cocktail they're going to try to inject us with.  The risks associated with following the luciferian government in their schemes will soon outweigh the benefits.  What they're offering is more unsavory every day.

Reverse reverse psychology

 This is great.  Not only will right-wingers want to take the vaccine even less - which is probably for the best - but in doing this he has politically positioned himself as the one who is fighting for the poor poor folks who desperately want to be injected with a mystery substance.  

It's going to be a bloodbath for the DNC this year.  November 9th, 2016 all over again.

CryptoInflation

 The concept that Bitcoin will be an economic savior is hilarious to me.  Cryptocurrency has been touted as a great avenue to freedom.  While it has some utility for anonymous transactions, the main feature was it's protection from inflation.

While it may be true that Bitcoin or Etherium or Dogecoin cannot inflate because there are only a fixed number of coin in each, each new cryptocoin creation creates more cryptocoin.  While one may stick around for longer than the rest, those that choose to use cryptocoin for investment are essentially trading in stock futures.  It's all a gamble until a government hacks then backs one coin.
