5 Beautiful Things About Brexit
Well whaddaya know? Something very big and very awesome just happened. To the great shock and disappointment of millions and millions of globalists, elitists, and dispensationalists across the globe, and in spite of all the fear-mongering, political pessimism, late-breaking polling data, and a general expectation of failure by many Christians enmeshed in a Left Behind […]
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 […]
ISIS: Priceless Tool of American Statism
It’s not hard to see what’s going on here. It’s more a matter of desire than ability for most; of not wanting to see that which is obvious but far too frightening and intimidating to acknowledge as truth. The US and its allies routinely find ways of “accidentally” funding and fueling ISIS, al Qaeda, and […]
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 […]
Our Big Fat Greek Economic Future
Last month in Greece is the word. (That nobody wants to hear.) we reminded folks of the many lessons to be learned and warnings to be had by way of the unfolding fiat-currency-fueled economic crisis in Greece. Later in Fake it ’til ya break it: What the Greek implosion tells us about America’s future. we continued to […]
Biblical decentralization of power. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
First off, before anyone gets any wacky ideas about hijacking and mutilating the point of this article, let me make something crystal clear: The practice of chattel slavery as practiced in and advocated by the Confederacy was (and is, in the many lands that still practice it today) a vile, disgusting thing. It is one of the most […]
Corporate America’s Big Gay Push (Or: “Mark of the Beast” economics, here we come!)
How much harder is it for a Christian to get a job or keep a job with a major American corporation than it was, say, 15 years ago? What if that Christian has taken clear, public stands in obedience to Christ and out of loving concern for the lost in accordance with the Gospel and […]
Greece is the word. (That nobody wants to hear.)
There are two topics that we write on fairly regularly here that routinely cause site traffic and interest to dive. But we keep writing about ’em anyway because they’re important. One of those subjects is technology. The other is economics. For various reasons – many of which are rooted in lousy “end times” views that fuel […]
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! […]
Disney, the NSA, and Republicans’ relentless pimping of the America Idol.
Disney World is a magical place. But you knew that already. What you maybe didn’t know was just what kind of magic is really goin’ on ’round there. I’m talkin’ black magic. Some of the blackest – and bleakest – of magic, actually. Black economic magic, to be precise. I’m talkin’ ’bout the All-American Corporate […]
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 […]
Isn’t our robotic future exciting? (Or: Should Christians fear or embrace technology?)
China has announced plans to construct an all-robot manufacturing plant. And this scares some people. There are good reasons for healthy concern (not to be confused with fear). A whole lotta folks and families are about to have their economic worlds – and overall worldviews – fundamentally rocked. They’re going to learn the hard way that the “reality” […]
The Serpent’s Ongoing Education (and Control) of the “Bible Belt”
So there I was, sitting through the second of two similar Tennessee State House hearings on the subject of education, in which Marc Tucker addressed two different Education Committees, when it hit me (again). The “it” in question was this: We apparently have no idea as to what education is, much less what a […]
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 […]
Propaganda
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, […]
The Sony/America Puppet Show
So Sony supposedly got “hacked” by North Korea…or Russia…or China…or some combination of the three. That’s the story, anyway. Confidential emails were subsequently leaked, relationships were compromised, and, ultimately, the opportunity for an apparently horrifyingly unfunny “comedy” (The Interview) to flop in a conventional manner was scuttled when it was pulled from conventional release as […]
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 […]
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. […]
“All the Markets Need Is $200 Billion a Quarter From the Central Bankers”
So how much “help” do the “free markets” need from the all powerful money-printing class in order for things like stocks and homes to have their present valuations preserved or re-inflated? Only $200 billion. Per quarter. For now. Bloomberg’s Simon Kennedy posted All the Markets Need Is $200 Billion a Quarter From the Central Bankers earlier this […]
Liars, Thieves, and the “Free Market” Fiction of “Too Big to Fail” America
Another week, another massive (and flagrantly anti-“free market capitalism”) bailout here in “the land of the free and the home of the NSA.” The Orwellian/Romans 1 insanity of our culture seems to become more plain and laughably tragic with each passing minute. We raise debt ceilings to not raise the debt, we bail out stock […]
Oops! We “accidentally armed ISIS”…again…
Hot on the heels of a report earlier this week that we had “accidentally” fueled ISIS with humanitarian aid, we get word that we have also “accidentally” supplied them with arms and ammo…again. “At least one bundle of U.S. weapons airdropped in Syria appears to have fallen into the hands of ISIS. . .” Nice. […]
The Obacalypse continues…but are we any closer to repentance?
Last month, in Obacalypse Now: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Wicked Leadership in Romans 1 America, we covered things like ISIS, Ebola, the emerging Orwellian NSA State, our teetering Monopoly Money economy, and the aggressive homosexualization of the culture. You know, the basics of our culture’s hopey-changey vibe of the moment. In just the few weeks that […]
Too big to fail and too big to jail.
Ever wonder why it is that folks who make the most mind-numbingly moronic economic decisions on the most grand, globally impactful scale, tend to barely suffer any sort of meaningful personal consequence for their world shaking acts of stupidity? Every wonder why certain people, businesses, corporations, and governments can again and again and again […]
Call me crazy, but I think this Islam thing just might be evil.
I know, I know…it’s a “religion of peace”. So says Barack Obama. And George W. Bush. It’s also not biblical Christianity, which pretty much instantly qualifies it as some kind of a good thing these days. And yes, I know that Islam and its many defenders, both Muslim and non, frequently pitch Islam as a great force for peace, love, and […]
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 […]
Happy Labor Day, Wage Slave. (Be sure to run faster and chase harder after the “money” that your masters make out of thin air.)
How do you destroy the beauty of labor? How do you so radically corrupt every fundamental of economics that everything from investment and business practices to the work ethic itself is left in smoldering ruin? How do you take such wonderful concepts as hard work, wise investing, and the pursuit of material prosperity – each of which […]
US raises terror threat level to “Orwellian”. Citizens line up to hand over more freedoms.
What does it look like when the people of a land abandon the Gospel and openly oppose the Great Commission of the Church to “make disciples of all the nations” and teach those disciples to do all that the Lord has commanded in His perfect Word? What does it feel like to live in a land captivated […]
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 […]
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 […]
Shields up! Ready Weapons! The Globalists are De-cloaking…
As a confirmed sci-fi geek since…well…basically conception, I’ve always loved things like the original Star Trek. Those gloriously cheesy Styrofoam sets, the over-the-top sound effects, the under-the-bottom visual effects, and [insert Shatner voice here] the…most…hyper…dramatic…dialogue…ever! [end Shatner voice now, please] What’s not to love, right?! (Please either agree or just humor me and play along.) All of […]
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 […]
The Sweet Taste of Control: Why Americans Love Food Stamps
Republican, Democrat, liberal, and conservative American leaders agree: Soup lines Food stamps EBT Cards are awesome! And why are they awesome? ‘Cause dependence on the State is awesome, that’s why! Oh sure, most Left/Right leaders or activists won’t say it quite that way, but the remarkably similar actions of both major parties over the course of many long, painful […]
American “Freedom Fighting” Tool Sledgehammers Jonah’s Tomb
As reported by many sources today, including The Daily Mail, ISIS militants have taken a sledgehammer to Jonah’s tomb in Iraq’s Nineveh province. You can click here for the whole sad, but not very surprising story. This same ISIS was just months ago the object of support and encouragement from none other than the powers that control “the […]
