DEMOCRACY is the method through which ungodly people gain access to political power.

If democracy were the means through which we elect godly leaders, how did the Christian kings of Medieval history rise to power?

If the democratic process is the key to Christian ascendency, how did Christendom arise from the ashes of the Pagan Roman Empire?

It’s a weak document, and it has no teeth, but I suppose it’s better than nothing. Even if it did have teeth, denying communion to pro-abort politicians, it wouldn’t matter. The local bishops who ignore canon law would just ignore this document too. The bishops now, officially, have bigger fish to fry. According to The Pillar, a much more accurate poll done by a faithful Catholic organization, literally HALF of all Catholics who attend weekly mass, don’t believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist anyway. The bishops have their work cut out for them. I doubt many will rise to the occasion. This generation of older bishops just need to retire. Get out of the way please! They’re nothing but obstacles to the gospel now.

This is what justice looks like. Take a good and hard look at it. We don’t see it very often…

This is what I wrote on Gab about the Kyle Rittenhouse case 8 days ago. I stand by it today, And I’m pleased that Rittenhouse was acquitted…

———snip——-

I think this young man committed only one crime — the crime of naivety. It seems pretty obvious to me he didn’t go there to kill anyone. Rather it seems he was going there (with others) to defend private property and to help an overwhelmed police department. In previous generations, he would have been hailed as a hero.

However, he was naive, because he believed his actions would be welcomed by local government and the press. They were not. He was also naive because he believed that AR would be enough deterrent to scare off the rioters. It was not.

The violent rioters tried to kill him. The police arrested him. The local government prosecuted him. And the press demonized him. That’s how the world is today, and that’s why older men like me (also well armed) sit back and watch it all burn when the big cities descend into anarchy. We know better. This is the world the Leftists created. These are the results the Leftists wanted. So that’s why I don’t live in the city, and I won’t respond to their cries for help.

One of the reasons why I've been somewhat aloof about the increasing political tyranny pressing down on America now is because in many places, this is exactly what people want. You see, the political Left has proved, by their rhetoric, voting habits and illegal activities, that what they want is an oppressive Marxist state. This is nothing new, mind you, I've been around for half a century now. I watched all this unfold in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s too. It's just what they want. Oh sure, they'll tell you that's not the case, but they're only lying to themselves. Riots and revolutions are the cries of spoiled children begging for "parental discipline." This is what the Left wants -- chaos and anarchy -- because what they're really crying out for is a big oppressive government to put them in their place and enslave them. So, that is what they're getting, particularly in the big cities of the Blue states.

What we're witnessing happen in America right now is a self-regulation. Blue-state governors are clamping down (per what the Left wants), while Red-state governors are opening things up. People who don't like living in the big cities of Blue states are moving out. They're going to more rural areas of Red states. That's why property values are increasing in Red states. This is self regulation. The end result is the Blue states will become more Leftist, as only the Leftists remain. They, in turn, will lash out in more riots and revolution, like they normally do, and in response they will get the more tyrannical government they're begging for, with more loss of civil rights and privacy. This is what they want, and I'm content to let them have it.

Meanwhile, those who have decided to escape will eventually find their way to freedom in the Red states, and they too will get what they want in the form of freedom and a better way of life. It's all working out according to God's plan. God will allow the country to remain politically united, as one nation, for as long as it takes to get his people out of the "Egypt" portions of America. When he's done, the nation will breakup, the borders between states will be closed, and that will be that.

Soon, we will see more riots and anarchy in the streets of big cities in politically, Blue states. More buildings will burn, and police will be overrun, for a time. But not long after that, the governments of those Blue states will clamp down again, in a tyrannical way, which will pacify the political Left for a time longer, until they do it again. This is just what they do. It's what they want. This is just how the Left operates. I'm content to let them have their way, in their cities of their states. Who am I to fight against the tyranny they cry out for so badly?

And this is why the next time the Left riots, we should just let the their cities burn. Any attempt to help stop the violence will be met with prosecution from the Left, and if you should manage to be acquitted, you’ll have to deal with the feds. There is no hope for this nation, none at all. The big cities of the Blue states must simply be allowed to destroy themselves. It is the only way.

It's amazing what happens when a Catholic priest is unmuzzled and can finally say what's on his mind. I suppose it might surprise you to know how many priests actually think this way, but can't say anything publicly about it, for fear of being cancelled by their bishops.

This is just absolutely PRECIOUS. 😂 I don’t think I’ve read anything this funny in at least a week. Knowing that my bishop is driving Liberal Catholics crazy, for doing nothing other than existing and then being elected, is just too precious to ignore. I’m going to save these.

My goodness! The Democrats are losing control of their BLM-Antifa surrogates. Are we going to have nationwide riots under the Biden administration now? It wasn’t supposed to work this way.

This is an excellent article, to which I highly recommend we all take the time to read. JESUS IS KING! But what does that mean? How do we act as instruments through which the Kingdom of God may shine through. I am an Integralist, but I clarify that in stating that I am an Integralist of the Solidarity kind, not the Monarchist king. While I have no problem with Christian monarchy, or confessional states, I admit that expecting true social renewal from the top-down is futile and potentially dangerous in our current age when most Americans no longer embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Letting the Social Kingship of Christ shine forth in our own civilization must be something that happens from the bottom-up, not the top down. Thus, the propagation of the gospel (Evangelism) is absolutely essential in this, and with the salvation of souls can come about a growing rejection of materialism and hyper-individualism, in favor of solidarity with our neighbors. We are beginning to get a virtual taste of this on Gab's parallel economy. However, what Gab has to offer us is but a model, an example if you will, which we much implement in our own neighborhoods, towns and cities.

What does that mean in a practical sense? Minimally, it means supporting the businesses of our fellow church members. Beyond that, it means buying local and supporting local community businesses, while sharing the gospel along the way. It means starting our own businesses whenever possible, or creating worker-owned cooperatives to build bigger businesses in our cities and towns. It means creating locally-owned stock markets, wherein people can invest in locally-owned businesses. It means homeschooling our children, and/or creating church-run academies to counter public schools. It means opening up our wallets and investing in our local churches in a more serious way.

Classical Liberalism is dying, and the rise of Marxist organizations like BLM-Antifa are but the death throes of a system that could never survive on its own for long. The shelf-life of a Secular Democracy is about 200 years. The United States is well passed its expiration date and its starting to show. The entire Western paradigm is shifting. Some nations will go Marxist. Others will return to Christendom. However, if we are to return to Christendom the right way, the correct way, we need to do it from the bottom up.

The rapper in this video is the alleged driver in the Waukesha massacre yesterday. If indeed this is the actual driver, then while we can’t say what his exact motives were, I think this video gives us a glimpse into the mindset of the man who allegedly killed and wounded so many innocent people. What we have here is an example of a Christless subculture on full video display. I’m posting this here only because I’m sure the mainstream media will do everything possible to protect this man and hide his motives. (WARNING: explicit language)….

Catholic school children were allegedly targeted, among others, by the driver of the Waukesha massacre.

SCRUBBED from YouTube: MathBoi Fly - HALF A TIKKET -- Featuring Darrell E. Brooks (Waukesha murder suspect)

These maps are for my non-American followers. I decided to post them because they might help non-Americans understand a little more about the United States. Basically, the US is a union, not a country. I think most people know that. And while each state in the US is technically its own little country (sort of), it usually shares commonality with one (or more) of the cultural regions it's located in.

To compare, one of these images shows an overlay of Europe and the US. As you can see, the US is much bigger than Europe, and yet Europe is known to have many different cultures. The same is true in the US. Probably the biggest thing all Americans share (besides common law and rights) is language. Americans speak primarily English (most of the time), but the cultural similarities between regions stops about there.

The second image shows the cultural regions of the United States, and it can safely be said that each region is similar to a region in Europe. For example, the German cultural region overlaps Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein and a good part of Switzerland. The French cultural region overlaps France and part of Switzerland. Likewise in the United States, cultural regions can overlap multiple states.

For example, I live in the Deep South cultural region of Missouri, even though my personal culture is a combination of Deep South and Southern California (SoCal), since I was born and raised there.

When dealing with Americans online, on in other venues, it may be helpful to consider both the state and the cultural region of the person you're dealing with. This can become a significant factor in your conversations.

Not only will this case determine the future of millions of pre-born children, but it will also determine if I will ever vote again. If the Supreme Court fails to protect the unborn, yet again, then we will know that the last 50 years of Pro-Life politics in the Republican Party was completely and totally in vain. We were sold a bill of goods to support globalism, corporatism and endless foreign wars overseas, at the behest of the Republican Party, with a promise of a Pro-Life Court that was never delivered. In other words, if Roe v Wade is not overturned, I will know that all of my votes, of the last three decades, were a complete and total waste of time and energy.
