I'm amazed at the # of Christians who believe, since God took on the human form of a biological male, we can conclude that God the Father is eternally male.
Also amazed at the anger generated by pointing out this is not historic Christian teaching.
My local library runs a reading event similar to the old Pizza Hut BOOK IT! program.
I looked through their reading list of over 100 novels, and virtually every entry was feminist/racial propaganda or some other variety of woke slop.
No Hatchet. No Percy Jackson. No Alex Rider. No Ender’s Game. No Diary of a Wimpy Kid. No Captain Underpants. No Superfudge. No Holes. No Magic Tree House. No Johnny Tremain. No Hobbit.
You know, the books that got generations of boys to actually ENJOY READING.
So I confronted the head librarian about why there wasn’t a single thing on the list for my sons to read.
This woman had the audacity to lecture ME about how my boys needed to “broaden their horizons.”
After a rather aggressive screaming match and several threats of a lawsuit, she finally, and rather sheepishly, pointed me toward a couple of books about “sports.”
I looked them up. The Hero Two Doors Down was actually about racism, Ghost was about parental abuse. “Sports” was just a convenient excuse to Trojan Horse social conditioning down my children’s throats.
These people are so consumed by their ideological garbage that they can’t even conceive of a little boy reading a book for the sheer pleasure of it. EVERYTHING has to be an opportunity for indoctrination. EVERYTHING has to advance their political agenda. And then these same idiots have the audacity to wonder why boys are falling behind in reading, when they’ve done everything in their power to make reading absolutely miserable for them.
I’m increasingly convinced that we need to burn down the entire rotten educational establishment and rebuild it from first principles. Because apparently teaching a little boy to LOVE reading is less important than making sure he reads the right propaganda.
@Ne_pas_couvrir California was 93% White in 1952.
California was 60% White in 1988.
It is now less than 32% White.
People need to get over the antiracism nonsense and realize that people who don’t look like you also don’t think like you.
The small-government fantasy is DEAD. We’re staring down $40 trillion in national debt. America won’t magically devolve into some Lolbert paradise if Republicans collect enough gold-star stickers from the Cato Institute.
Hobbes wrote over four centuries ago what today’s fiscal conservatives apparently never learned: the Leviathan never shrinks. Politics is ultimately about POWER. Refusing to exercise it doesn’t make it disappear. It just leaves it in someone else’s hands.
Democrats become rabid budget hawks whenever Republicans want to fund ICE, mass deportations, the border wall, or the military. But when it’s their voters, their NGOs, and their political priorities, money now grows on trees.
Meanwhile, Republicans congratulate themselves for being the responsible adults in the room, even as the money they’ve saved just becomes another weapon for the Left to beat us with.
What good is fiscal responsibility if all you’ve accomplished is financing your own destruction?
Big government isn’t going anywhere. Republicans can either wield its power to reward their friends and punish their enemies, or consign themselves to being the most principled inmates in the Gulag.
Adapt or die.
@grphotographyuk@BenZeisloft@HarmeetKDhillon We built a European civilization where no civilization existed.
A civilization that your people could never build, only squat in.
Which is why you’re squatting on one instead of the garbage heap your people built.
@CaptainCaveTex@Nrthms1@grok Fascism defeated Bolshevism in Spain, preventing the Soviets from controlling access to the Mediterranean and “Constitutional Libertarianism” allied with Bolshevism and handed half of Europe to it.
Hope this helps.
Just so we're clear, "religious tolerance" at the time of the founding was not drowning Baptists or burning Quakers in Puritan and Anglican lands.
It was never tolerating pagan nonsense.
