American “conservatives” fund Planned Parenthood (again) in new budget deal.
In case you haven’t heard, a new “budget deal” has apparently been struck between the Pagan Political Right and the Pagan Political Left in Washington DC. So did we defund Planned Parenthood? Nope. Did we even reduce the public funding of Planned Parenthood? Nuh-uh. Not even a little? Nah. Not even a teeny, tiny, eensy-weensy […]
What if American Christians were half as committed to obeying Christ as they are to following the Republican Party?
Before I get into this, lemme make something plain: I love politics. I’ve been interested in politics since I can remember being able to remember. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Despite the thorough manner in which we’ve seen Christ’s creation of politics corrupted, contorted, and perverted into the slimy, steaming pile of filth that […]
When Ted Cruz wins the Republican nomination…
When Ted Cruz wins the Republican Party nomination for President of the United States, let’s remember that despite the fact that he may well be a super nice guy and that his father is an impressive man in many substantial ways, Mr. Cruz is, at the end of the day, a classic American Statist deeply […]
Why are American “Christian conservatives” so ridiculously liberal?
So why do self-described conservatives in America tend to openly (and often quite proudly) favor rank Socialistic/Marxist programs like Social Security and Public Schools? Why do they tend to automatically favor building a larger military and engaging in even more wars when we are, in a word, broke? (See yesterday’s How can a “broke” country have the […]
How the “born gay” lie led us to infinite “sexual fluidity”.
Nobody’s “born gay”. And most homosexual deathstyle advocates know it. How does that “make you feel”? Used? Spun? Disrespected? Deceived? In Born…or Soft-Wired to be Gay?, Eric Holmberg of The Apologetics Group follows up on an important article that he wrote back in October on the subject of pomosexuality (which we then covered in Is Pomosexuality a […]
Marco Rubio: “God’s rules always win.” Now ignore ’em all and vote for me!
“God’s rules always win.” File that sweet line atop the Marco Rubio section of the “it would be awesome if they really believed it” section 0f quotes from GOP candidates now predictably making the rounds pretending to love and revere the law of God in order to snag the votes and cash of politically active professing Christians in America. As […]
Cruz Control: How Ted Cruz is positioned to win the GOP nomination…and why Christians shouldn’t pin their hopes on it.
Ted Cruz has an excellent chance of winning the Republican Party nomination. Over the past few months as I’ve been asked who I think will win the Pagan Political Right honor of facing the Pagan Political Left’s chosen representative in the contrived, controlled puppet show that is American presidential politics, I’ve picked Cruz. There are no […]
Oops, we “accidentally” armed al Qaeda with anti-tank missiles…again…
Over the past week – a week in which US President Barack Obama once again put a fine point on America’s long running desire to see Syria’s Bashar Al-Assad deposed – Russia has responded by pointing out an obvious and very inconvenient truth for proponents of US-as-Global-Good-Guy fiction. That inconvenient truth is that ISIS is, like al Qaeda before […]
Weaponized Victimhood in a Crybully Culture
If there’s one thing that oughta be painfully clear by now, it’s that there are some whose precious feelings, emotions and desires are to be diligently treasured and vigorously protected as delicate, fragile little shards of goodness essential to humanity’s progress. These carriers of the Progressive Spirit that is humanity’s one true hope must be shielded, coddled, […]
The Fear-Driven Voting of America’s “Conservative Christians”
Terrorism! Radical Muslims! The gay agenda! Barack Obama! Hillary Clinton! Justin Bieber! Fear! Fear! Fear! Panic! Panic! Panic! Crisis! Crisis! Crisis! If one thing is plain about the “conservative Christian” portion of America’s electorate, it is that fear is the primary motivator determining how its members spend their energy, resources, and votes. What Scripture refers […]
Here’s what’s up this weekend…
With work surrounding the current wave of new FBC-related books taking up a whole lotta time lately, other projects have had to wait in line on back burners. Happily, that should be changing now since On Education and There is no “God-given right” to worship false gods are already out and We Win Here is one […]
Guns don’t kill people. Sin kills people. (Like the sin of disarming good people).
What do condiments, control freaks, and “gun free zones” have in common? More than you may think. One of the most predictable political routs run routinely here in “the land of the free” and the home of the NSA comes like clockwork right on cue after there’s been a mass shooting in some sort of “gun free zone”. The […]
No Child Sacrifice Left Behind: New GOP Speaker of the House “doubtful about defunding Planned Parenthood”.
It looks like video documentation of Planned Parenthood ghouls doing everything from casually chit-chatting over drinks about profiting from the sale of baby body parts to plucking the brain from a living child for profitable harvest wont be enough to get us to even remove federal funding from Planned Parenthood …much less shut down Planned […]
America’s open economic rape of the young via Social Security.
For as long as I’ve been alive and politically aware, Social Security has been known as “the third rail” of American politics, meaning that it is charged, untouchable, and sure to bring death to anyone who tries to grab hold and do something about it. That third rail is more dangerous and more entrenched […]
Buh-bye, Jeb: Bush gives himself the “warm kiss” of death.
Somewhere between his offer to give “a warm kiss” to a certain kind of Democrat and diving headlong into the Marco Rubio shaped woodchipper parked next to him at last night’s GOP debate in Colorado, Jeb Bush finally fully flamed out. Stick a fork in him; he’s done. Jeb’s most viable path to winning the Republican Party nomination now involves […]
The True Gospel Conquers Everything; The Modern American “Gospel”…Not So Much
Here’s some good news about the Good News of the Gospel: It’s about much more than your precious personal salvation. It’s about everything. The Gospel of King Jesus touches, purifies and conquers everything. It’s not about a Kingdom waiting out there in the future somewhere. It’s not about a Kingdom off in some far distant […]
Pagan Goes Christian Hunting in Oregon “Gun Free” Zone
Unrepentant sinners hate God. We’re all born this way, and until the God we hate supernaturally intervenes in our lives by raising our dead, selfish, sin-loving, holiness-hating selves into living, sin-resisting, holiness-pursuing New Creatures in Christ, we quite naturally do all that we can to mock and overturn the sovereignty of God above us. We […]
The queer shall inherit the earth? Actually, no. (Stonewall vs. Stonewall: A Collision of Kingdoms)
“The queer shall inherit the earth.” That’s what a gang of tolerance Nazis desperately trying to shout down, drown out, and generally intimidate dissent (all in the name of love, of course) had scrawled on a banner they carried along to protest a college campus appearance by Pastor Doug Wilson. That banner and those Nazis are featured subjects […]
Pedophilia: The next new “Alternate Sexuality”.
What a difference a summer makes, am I right? We now have “gay marriage” (pronounced “gay mirage“) in America, where we like to beg for the wrath of God upon us by pretending to make it “legal”. (See: “Supreme Court” Votes for Wrath of God Upon America.) Then there’s “Transgenderism”. You can’t check out in an […]
Beyond Debate: The never-ending “conservative” pitch for Statism (A biblical review of Round 1 of the GOP “debate” – Fire Breathing Christian Podcast Episode 6)
Ever notice how all the supposedly “conservative” leaders anointed and appointed by the national Republican Party seem to always end up leading us deeper and deeper into the Socialism and state-dependency that they claim to oppose? (See: How’s that Pagan “conservatism” workin’ out for ya, Christian?) Ever notice that no matter how many Republican Representatives, Senators, […]
5 things every Statist will agree on at tomorrow’s Republican “debate”.
Can you feel the magic? Black magic, I mean. Can you taste the thick artificial flavoring? Are you choking on the overly and overtly manufactured “excitement”? As in: The most legit items on the menu are Donald Trump’s mood and hair. Can you hear the controlled/contrived political puppet show predictably shifting into its standard seasonal gear en route to taking us to […]
How unrepentant and lost is Donald Trump? And what does that tell us about America?
The Donald is on fire. And so is American culture. Coincidence? Nope. In the past month, The Trumpinator has moved from a merely dominant top spot in the polls to an even more “absolutely amazing” position, leaving his fellow Republicans struggling to figure out just how to tackle the brash billionaire who promises to “make America great again” without […]
Fox News Equates God’s Law With Islam. American “Conservative Christians” say, “Amen!”
If there’s one thing that absolutely terrifies the typical politically “conservative” churchgoing professing Christian in America, it is the Nature of God as revealed in His Word and Law. More specifically, they’re petrified at even the thought of that Law-Word being taken seriously. As in: applied. As in: for real. As in: Not just […]
The Ted Cruz Problem: How praising the Bible without submitting to the Bible gets us into all sorts of trouble. (Fire Breathing Christian Podcast Episode 4)
I don’t know ’bout you, but when I hear someone answer a nationally televised debate question by making a clear appeal to Scripture as the means by which God clearly speaks to man, I’m impressed. I ‘m happy. I’m compelled to amen(!) and woohoo(!). Senator Ted Cruz made just such an appeal in the first […]
The Difference Between Thumping the Bible and Believing It
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. ~ 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (emphasis added) Do we believe this? Do we actually believe that Scripture equips us adequately for every […]
What if Christians were as confident and clear as Donald Trump?
It’s no mystery why Donald Trump, also known as The Donald and also known here as The Trumpinator, is crushing his bug-like competitors for the Republican Party nomination. No mystery at all. Just ask someone – anyone – who is even marginally supportive of the Trump 2016 campaign why they are into that campaign at all and […]
If ISIS did to one American child what Planned Parenthood does to millions, we’d go to war and kill them for it.
What if ISIS released a video of one of its agents calmly, coolly, and clinically murdering and dismembering an American baby? What if ISIS did to one single solitary American baby boy or girl what Planned Parenthood is “legally” empowered by America to do to American babies here in “the land of the free” and the […]
Politics, education, and the uncomfortable truth about sin. (Radio interview on the “Stand Up for the Truth” program.)
Yesterday I was once again honored to be on the Stand Up for the Truth show with Mike and Amy, and man, lemme tellya, it got really interesting. We started off kicking around the current season of The American Political Puppet Show and talked a bit about what Christians should expect from the current crop […]
The Ultimate (and completely safe) “Debate”-Watchers’ Drinking Game
D-Day has arrived. Zero hour is nearly upon us. I am of course speaking of The Big Show (of the moment): Tonight’s 10-man corporate controlled political puppet cage match being put on by Fox News in Cleveland. The stakes are high and the contrived drama is higher. Trumpamania is already running wild and The Donald will be taking center […]
Welcome to the 2016 Parade of Republican Statists
Wanna know where the long term embrace of a wildly unbiblical “lesser of two evils” approach to leadership selection leads? Wanna know how easy it is for anti-Christian corporate/banking elites to steer us straight on into hard core Statism through their production, promotion, and control of The All-American Political Puppet Show? Well there’s no need to wonder. Just […]
Just in case you still think Republicans are ever going to actually stop abortion…
So which of the two All-American Pagan political parties gave us the majority of Supreme Court Justices who gave us “legal” abortion in America? The Republicans. And which of the two All-American Pagan political parties gave us the majority of Supreme Court Justices who gave us ObamaCare, which expands federal funding of…you guessed it…abortion. The Republicans. […]
Trumpamania runs wild! (Yes, he can really win…and yes, we really deserve him.)
August 6. That’s the day America is waiting for. That’s the day that it is on! August 6 in Cleveland, Ohio: Trumpamania gets real. Or unreal. Or more unreal. Or…well…you get the picture. Whatever it is, this Trumpamania thing is getting serious. Seriously funny, seriously sad, and seriously bizarre all at the same time. It’s […]
How’s that Pagan “conservatism” workin’ out for ya, Christian?
So how is our Pagan “conservatism” and America worship working out for us? How’s that 40+ year “pro-life commitment” from the GOP panning out? (See: Note to ‘Merica: There is no “God-given right” to murder children. Repent accordingly.) How’s that GOP/”conservative” defense of “family values” playing out? (See: Of course Jeb Bush is “fine” with […]
God bless America. And Planned Parenthood.
Revelation leading to repentance can be a very hard thing. That’s it’s nature. But that doesn’t make it any less a blessing from God. Thankfully, these days we’re getting a whole lotta revelation. Not much in the way of repentance yet, but God is graciously keeping the revelations coming anyway. (See: Will America repent or will America be […]
When Conservatism Trumps Christianity
One of the most simultaneously mystifying and terrifying realities of our day is that there are those who really, truly, and actually believe that professional wrestling is real. I mean really real. Not just that it exists. Not just that it’s “fun” for some in a silly kinda way. Not just that it’s like a harmless, if idiotic, parody […]
Of course Jeb Bush is “fine” with the idea of “transgender” soldiers in the US military. That’s just what Pagan Right politicians do.
Since there are still so many professing Christians in America who are entranced and enthralled by the Pagan Left/Pagan Right political puppet show that has dominated the scene here in ‘Merica for generations now (I was once way into this camp myself), it’s always a good idea to point out how the top tier “conservative […]
13 questions you’re NOT supposed to ask on “Independence Day” in America.
I love fireworks and cookouts as much as the next guy. More than the next guy, usually. And I love America too…so much that I will no longer play the role of enabler. I will no longer look the other way. I will no longer pretend. I will no longer lie and encourage the lying […]
Are we really free? Do we even want to know?
Are we free to ask if we’re really free in America? The short answer to that one is, thankfully: Yes. Here I am asking the question, after all, and here you are reading (and presumably considering) it. So yeah, at a basic level, yes, we are indeed free to openly ask if we’re really free […]
America’s Preferred (and Protected) Symbol of Slavery and Oppression
As you may have noticed, people are talking a lot about flags lately. And slavery. And oppression. And hate and feelings and sensitivities. And how Confederate flags and icons are uniquely worthy of a purge here in “the land of the free” and the home of the NSA. That’s the Corporate American Statists’ spin on […]
Jeb! (not Bush) Launches Presidential Campaign with “Conservative” Case for the Welfare/Warfare Nanny State
For those still enslaved to the Pagan Right/”Anybody but [insert name of Pagan Left candidate here]” political puppet show paradigm under which we are being led ever-deeper into Statism by our favorite “conservative” “Christian” “leaders”, a Big Gun from the Pagan Right side of the puppet show stage is about to make it official. As AP reports, Jeb! […]
51,000,003 reasons why America owes Nazi Germany an apology.
[Author’s note: Since this was written in the summer of 2015, America has added millions to the death toll of innocent baby boys and girls murdered in the name of “freedom” and “liberty”. – SAB 11/8/17] The typical American guy is a stat hound. In the Internet-fueled era of things like fantasy football and day-trading, we’ve become […]
If a Duggar came out as a homosexual who’d acted out in their mid-teen years, they’d be the most celebrated creature in the media universe.
There can be little doubt that if a Duggar came out as a homosexual who’d acted out sexually in their mid-teen years, they’d be the most celebrated, adored and defended creature in the modern mainstream media universe. That much should be obvious at this point, whatever one’s perspective might be on the many tragic aspects of the […]
Rand Paul calls out the NSA (again); Establishment Republicans Defend Orwellian Statism (as usual)
As National Journal reported this morning, After Over 10 Hours, Rand Paul Ends His NSA Filibuster. The article chronicled Senator Paul’s recent stand on the Senate floor in bold opposition to the Orwellian Surveillance State that has taken deep, diabolical root here in the “land of the free” and the home of the…you guessed it…NSA. (See: […]
Rubio makes Orwellian case for perpetual war even better than Bush; “conservative Christians” swoon.
If there’s one thing that American “conservative Christians” have been conditioned to love, it’s war. War overseas, of course – the kind that you can take in via Fox News from the relative safety and comfort of your rented-from-the-State-to-fund-State-controlled-children’s-“education” home here in “the land of the free” and the home of the NSA. (See: How […]
How Jeb Bush despises privacy and freedom for the masses…yet will still get millions of “conservative Christian” votes (and campaign contributions).
There are roughly 2.4 gajillion good reasons to not vote for Jeb (or any other) Bush to “lead” us (or anyone else that we care about), but one of the best has to be his open, flagrant, bone-chillingly creepy adoration of the emerging Orwellian State in America. The man simply despises in practice the core values […]
Don’t be fooled by Hillary.
As if a witch leading Iowa legislators in prayer last week wasn’t comically tragic enough, the weekend followed up by treating us to the official launch of Hillary 2016. Adding some interesting zing to the Hillary launch was what some have called an “astounding typo”. Apparently, in promotion of her Big Day, the official Hillaryland press release phrase that included the line: “fought children […]
The NCAA, the NFL, and why your grandkids will be pro-gay.
Before we even get started on the latest installment of As The World Turns Gay, let’s start up front by acknowledging the one overarching rule as to how we are all told that we must handle the LGBTQ issue and pretty much any other culturally impactful subject. The Rule of rules is this: Anything but […]
A Cool Moment At The State Capitol
Howdy All, I hope that this post finds each of you well and that the Lord is moving you even in this moment toward deeper adoration, pursuit, and application of His nature. As many of you know, these past couple of weeks have been extraordinarily busy for me at my day job as a Legislative […]

Get with the Big Gay Program…or suffer the economic consequences.
The anti-Christian economic momentum spearheaded by unbelieving elites atop Corporate America seems to shift into a higher gear with each passing month. Where once it was stunning to hear of such things as Christians being fired for their fidelity to Scripture on the subjects of family, marriage, and sexuality, now such tales have become the expected norm. […]
Finger Puppet Soup and the War in Ukraine
Rosie will be two in March, and some of her favorite things in the known universe are “hot soup” and “fingapuppets”. So it should come as no surprise that she found a way to combine the two. “Hot soup” has been a Rosie fave ’round here for a long time now. Watching mommy make things […]
How “Christians” Feed America to the Serpent
One of the greatest – and easiest – accomplishments of the enemies of Christ in our culture has been the proliferation of popular systems, movements, and philosophies aimed at steering the attention, energy, and resources of people toward anything but the Gospel as the solution to…well…pretty much anything in “the real world”. The belief that […]
“The state of our union is strong!” (and other culture-killing lies that “Christians” enable)
One of the most telling signs of our vulgar and prideful animosity toward Christ the King is our comfort with the knowledge that He will not be addressed by our “leaders” in a formal, official context in anything but the most vague, superficial sense, if at all. He may be cited or used as an […]
The Republican amnesty “collapse” is on.
There’s nothing like a good puppet show…at least when everyone is clear that what they’re watching is, in fact, a puppet show. Parroted lines and contrived plots can be fun in the proper context. Otherwise, they’re pretty much disastrous. Which brings us to 2014 America, where the Republican/Democrat Two-Step-to-Statism Show has been going on for […]
Remember: Jesus doesn’t need your vote. He owns it (and you) aready.
With another election year November in the books, American Christians are well served to remind ourselves and the rest of the world (especially the proud American part) that Jesus Christ isn’t running for anything. Never has. Never will. He doesn’t need your vote (or anything else). Jesus is King. Jesus is Lord. Jesus is God. He […]
How did Christians destroy conservatism?
How did we end up with “conservatives” defending everything from Social Security and Medicare to State-controlled children’s “education”, which is straight out of the Communist Manifesto? How did we get a supposedly “right wing” political movement in America that is effortlessly molded and mobilized in support of one explicitly Socialist/Marxist policy after another, all while most of its […]
How do we stop America’s voter-assisted suicide?
It’s Election Day in America, and all the familiar gears, wheels, and tools of propaganda are in full motion. The (mostly) controlled game is on and the (mostly) contrived drama is thick. “Will the Republicans be returned to power in the Senate?” “Will the Democrats be taught a painful lesson?” “Will the country be saved […]
How do we bring politics back from the dead?
So here we go again… Tomorrow is Election Day in America. Republicans are expected to do very well, almost assuredly re-taking the Senate and extending their majority lead in the US House of Representatives. But will this mean the end – or even the beginning of the end – of Socialism in America? Nope. […]
Ebola is an STD? So what? We have ObamaCare!
We Americans are indeed a very funky people. Unfortunately, almost all of our funkiness is of the bad sort these days. As we covered earlier this month, 110 million Americans have an STD at any given moment. That’s over one third of our population. Clearly, generations of State-controlled education and corporate-controlled pop-culture are paying off. […]
Hi, my name is Ron, I’m a political lawyer and I will be your Ebola Czar for this pandemic.
Just when we thought that all was lost and the world was spinning hopelessly out of control, the powers that be have given us exactly what we need to save the day: A lawyer! And not just any lawyer, but a particularly virulent strain of the lawyer virus: A “political operative”. With that noted, please excuse me […]
What do we actually know about Ebola and why does it matter?
One of the more annoying realities of “crises” such as the Ebola scare is that we get to witness (and often become willing participants in) some of the wackiest, weirdest, over the top crazy hysteria- and/or denial-laced idiotic behavior known to man. Okay, maybe that’s a stretch. Or not. Either way, we are all […]
How ’bout that awful Patriots’ D last night? Along the Mexican border, I mean…
Did you see the game last night? The Patriots got smoked. They looked terrible. They couldn’t score against the Kansas City Chiefs and they couldn’t stop the Chiefs from scoring on them. So bad was it, in fact, that Tom Brady’s future has been called in question. “Is the Brady era over” is the question […]
Fiat $lavery: We have been bought and paid for…with nothing.
You are owned. You are someone else’s unearned possession. You are the controlled commodity of sinful, self-serving men and women. And so am I. We are in the same camp together. We are slaves to the same masters. This is inescapably true for the most obvious of reasons; so obvious and so painful that we can […]
Intro to Fire: The Power and Purpose of the Common Believer
“FIRE…God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, and not of the philosophers and savants. Certitude. Feeling. Joy. Peace.” ~ Blaise Pascal . I can remember holding my wife’s hand when she died. Even now I can vividly recall the moment before and the moment after, but it was the difference […]
Enemy of the Statist: Christ-Centered Liberty vs. Man-Centered Tyranny
Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole […]
Openly Reject God’s First Commandment? YES! WE! CAN!
Imagine, if you will, Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton (though not necessarily together – we don’t wanna be too fantastic here), John Kerry, Stuart Smalley, Joe Biden and Bill Maher all gathered ‘round the base of ol’ Mount Sinai as Moses brings down the following decree to man directly from the mind and hand of […]
Everybody Expects…The Liberal Inquisition!
“Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!” This was the launch phrase for my favorite recurring skit on Monty Python’s Flying Circus. In most of its appearances, The Inquisition would intrude suddenly on unrelated sketches in which one character, expressing frustration with another, would announce “I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition!” Right on cue, the Inquisition […]
How American Conservatives happily forge the chains of American Socialism
Memes, themes, and the like have become all the rage in this little blip of time known as the social media era. Everything from kittens to politics is now often presented in short, high-octane bursts able to quickly inspire everything from hysterical laughter at what the cute, cuddly little kitties are doing, to burning outrage at what […]
Need (another) war? No sweat! Just play The Hitler Card.
As global economic foundations continue to crack and crumble, this sort of thing is just gonna happen…again and again. War, war, and more war. Enemies here, there, and everywhere. Of course, we fund, fuel, and train most of those enemies, but let’s not stop to notice that. Nope. Nothing to see here… Just prior to Mitt Romney’s glorious Washington Post […]
Mitt Romney preaches the New World Order gospel of perpetual war and an all-powerful State…again…
Just when you think you can chill out and relax on a quiet Thursday evening after a long, productive day…Mitt Romney has to go and open his Neo-Conning, god-in-waiting, presidential wannabe yapper… Or, to be more precise, The Mitt has to go and release a new Washington Times op-ed piece in which he dutifully plays the role […]
Politics, Religion, and the Threat of Spontaneous Combustion
Remember when all the really bad hypotheticals were still hypotheticals? Ah, those were the good ol’ days…days when America was merely on the verge of moral implosion, heading toward the brink of socio-economic collapse, and so on. Now we’re there. We have imploded morally and we are on the brink of total socio-economic darkness. The really bad hypotheticals of just a generation past – at least most of them – aren’t hypothetical anymore. (click on the above graphic or headline link to read the article)
Imagine there’s no borders…it’s easy if you try…
What if I told you that the southern U.S. border crisis, the pending U.S. invasion of Syria, the ongoing murderous rampage of ISIS/Islamic State in Iraq, and the pending eruption of similar acts right here in the U.S. were all clearly and purposefully connected? Well, if you’re like me, you might be depressed (or […]
Problem>Reaction>Solution – Why we will beg to have our freedoms taken away and go to war forever.
Ever wonder how it is that most “conservative Christians” have been so successfully morphed into enthusiastic tools to help bring about an increasingly socialistic, Orwellian State? Ever wonder why it is that many so-called conservatives in America are now openly socialistic in practice when it comes to everything from Social Security and Medicare to Medicaid […]
7 Empowering Truths for Politically Active Christians
1. All power in heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus…right now. The living Lord of creation was not at all vague when He tasked His people with the Great Commission before flying into the clouds: “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go […]
As St. Louis simmers, is America begging to be crushed under the wrath of God? YES! WE! ARE!
As we watch a heartland suburb simmer, boil, and erupt into violence between angry mobs of largely State-subsidized dependents and heavily militarized, State-subsidized “police”, it becomes harder and harder to go on pretending…but that doesn’t stop us from trying. We want to imagine that we are a “basically good” people who have only been led astray by […]
Why Americans don’t do repentance.
As we watch with awe, wonder, frustration and disgust while the world (both figuratively and literally) burns around us, we as Americans tend to repeat some version of the “why can’t the world be more like us” line. We don’t necessarily phrase it quite that way most of the time, but the idea that’s been rammed home […]
Note to Allen West: American “Christians” have dismembered FAR more children than ISIS this year.
In case y’all haven’t heard, Allen West, along with pretty much every other Neo-Con tool in America, thinks that we need to man up, get serious, and roll headlong into serious war mode in Iraq…again… Why, you may ask? (While such questions are still allowed to be asked here in the “land of the free” and […]
$ocialism, Bangerz, and the Wrath Of God in “The Great State of Tennessee”
You’d have to turn pretty hard and firmly away from the glaring clarity to miss the connection – the near-perfectly synchronized harmony – between Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz Tour stop in Nashville last night and the political scene unfolding on Primary Election Night across the “Great State of Tennessee”. All the dots are there, so close that they barely need to […]
Tennessee’s opportunity to beat Lamar…for biblical reasons.
Lamar Alexander. He’s folksy. He’s polite. He’s “successful”. And he’s a Republican. So he’s gotta be good then, right? Well… He’s also for adding new taxes, against eliminating Cabinet departments, for raising existing tax rates, for increasing the so-called “debt limit”, for expanding Food Stamps, for “Cash for Clunkers”, against defunding the “Bridge to […]
The America Idol (Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Almighty State)
I don’t know about you, but I’m not at all into the idea of bending over at the airport so that the TSA can check my underwear for al-Qaeda. Particularly when the Southern border is swung wide open and anyone able to hop, skip, or giggle their way across the border gets an American taxpayer-funded […]
It’s all on us: Why WE are responsible for the death (or restoration) of America
. Somewhere deep down, we have to know that the mess in America is our fault. You and me. I know, I know…it’s sooooo much more fun to blame Them for all of it – the Democrats, the liberals, the progressives, the Muslims, the gay activists… And yeah, I’m also well aware that there are a whole […]
Singing Sweet, Sweet Lies in the “Land of the Free” and the Home of the NSA
A.W. Tozer once said that “Christians don’t tell lies, they just go to church and sing them”. Sad and true as that observation may be, lying to one’s self by song is hardly an affliction unique to believers. It’s human nature to imagine that uncomfortable truths aren’t really true at all or, if they are, that […]
Tears of a Clown: How Republicans mourn the death of America…while making it happen.
In The Crisis on the Border, published this week by The Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan dutifully resumes her well-worn role of conservative-ish Republican voice of reason/propaganda, showing us once again that at least some of the good folks in Republicanville are paying very close attention and are very, very, very concerned about our nation’s desperate and rapidly deteriorating condition. Yessiree, they […]
American Culture Speaks: Iconic celebrity addresses the relationship between women, work, and family.
With the hope of better understanding the culture by which we have been defined and for which America now evangelizes the world (including its own children), the following quote promoting a “news” piece published earlier today is presented without additional comment for your consideration: “My mom taught us we CAN have it all!” ~ Kim Kardashian […]
American Pride and Romans 1 Cheeseburgers.
Burger King Sells Gay Pride Whopper. That’s the title of an article posted Tuesday at USA Today. Not. Even. Kidding. But should we really be surprised? I mean, hasn’t corporate America been pushing “the gay pride whopper” in various ways for a very looooooooong time now? So why not in burger form, then? Seems reasonable enough…in […]
You might be a “useful idiot” if…
The phrase “useful idiot” was probably born as a political pejorative aimed at describing “people perceived as propagandists for a cause whose goals they are not fully aware of, and who are used cynically by the leaders of the cause.” Vladimir Lenin is often credited with coining the term, though, far as I can […]
Four Marks of Conservatism’s Counterfeit Gospel
For those of you hoping to find validation for leftist progressive causes or worldviews here after reading (and perhaps smiling at) the title of this post, lemme save you some time and say plainly from the get go: Not. Gonna. Happen. Not at all. The manner in which leftist progressives passionately wage their futile, pouty […]
Prancing Ponies, Bible Belt Satanists, and America’s Proud Rebellion
. . . At this moment in our history, our unique claim to fame is that, when it comes to sheer size and scale of blasphemy and idolatry, there has never in all of human history been a greater, more boastful spiritual whore than America. There’s not even a close second, really, though one could make the case for Old Testament Israel being the closest thing to a competitor for this particular award.
What makes America truly untouchable in this contest isn’t just the globe-spanning scope and influence of her rank prostitution. It’s the fact that she does it all while mouthing her “love for Jesus” that makes it a truly unique and bone chilling horror. This combo gives allows her to coast to the easiest of wins where the gold medal for rebellion is concerned.
But hey, if you’re gonna do something, be the best at that thing, right?
And in America, if there’s one thing we know, it’s that we’re #1!
A Mark of the Beast
Throughout church history there’s been intense curiosity and fascination with the “mark of the beast” described in the book of Revelation. While serious interest in the truth of God as revealed in His Word is a wonderful thing, in recent decades much of what is marketed as end times intrigue has been detached from its biblical foundation. Once that happened, it was bound to blossom into something quite ugly, and blossom it has.

Intro to Fire – The Power and Purpose of a Common Believer (Excerpt from “Fire Breathing Christians”)
This has been a long time in the making, but the day has finally come…
Posted here is the introduction from Fire Breathing Christians – The Common Believer’s Call to Reformation, Revival, and Revolution. The book will be released in late October. In the days leading up to launch, I will be posting excerpts from many of its 21 chapters so that you might get a feel for the material without having to go to the trouble or expense of purchasing a copy. Of course, if you like what you see, I fully expect you to buy at least three copies.
Our Future in the Stars
Not so long ago, in a galaxy not nearly far enough away… Actually just a few weeks back and in this galaxy – on this very planet, even – there was a particular mansion-wandering mega-consumer and hyper-capitalist who was basking in the glow of his most recent multi-gazillion dollar earning success story. Well, this particular success was much […]
The Smell of Progress
I can remember living in Seattle just over a decade ago, right before the world was scheduled to end by way of another colossal Microsoft screw-up. Maybe all the techno-apocalyptic hubbub was just another marketing ploy concocted for the likes of Hal Lindsey and Pat Robertson, or maybe it was all a part of prepping the world for Vista. We may never know, but, whatever the case on the Y2K front, Seattle in 1999 definitely was an interesting place to be.
The political sea was churning.
The world was watching.
Progress was in the air.
The Brilliance of Corpseman Obama
Corpseman Obama has a plan. And it’s working. (In the progressive sense of “working”.)
Sure, he may not be the brightest bulb in the pack, but he’s still The One and can at least usually read accurately from a teleprompter. When he does, his message is clear:
He’s all about expanding the slave state in America.
There are No Ducks
In this present era of happy progressive Orwellian hope and change, if something walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and generally goes about the business of acting like a duck, not only are you discouraged from imagining, much less speaking of it actually being a duck, you’re probably a racist, right-wing, hyper-religious, Palin-worshipping nutcase for even recognizing the possibility that it might be so.
Of course, ducks aren’t really the problem here. Unless they vote Republican. (And why would any self-respecting creature of the wild ever do that?)
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell – It’s Not Just for Homos Anymore
In the wake of last week’s horrifying act of anything-but-Islamic-terrorism perpetrated by the “Allahu Akbar!” shouting Nidal Malik Hasan and the subsequent State-controled media’s comically persistent attempts at promoting spin the likes of which would’ve made George Orwell’s imagination explode, we have learned something:
If you’re an Islamic fanatic currently embedded in the ranks of the U.S. military, we really don’t wanna know.
So do try to keep it to yourself, okay?
The Gayness of State Controlled Media
In the aftermath of yesterday’s elections, I stumbled upon the following gem from our professional, unbiased, utterly trustworthy and dependable journalists at the state controlled Associated Press. I’ve reproduced it in its entirety so that you might bask in the full, undiluted glow of this shining example of contemporary American journalistic brilliance: Dejection fills Maine ballroom after marriage vote […]
