My children recently re-read C.S. Lewis’s “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” for our homeschool book club. In today’s class, part of our discussion focused on courage and how it isn’t a feeling, but is rather a behavior. We decided that good people will find they have untapped courage and fortitude when faced with …
Update June 2023: My friends at Monomakhos wrote an essay entitled “‘Gay Pride’ Month, a Brief Retrospective” which includes an excellent video debunking “the myth that homosexuality was not only normative in Ancient Greece, but idolized as the romantic ideal” in order to push the normalization of sexual deviancy on the modern masses through the …
“Why couldn’t she just be a lesbian?” is a refrain I’ve heard regarding my gender-confused teenage niece, whom I wrote about in Life with a Rainbow Mafioso. It’s a shocking statement, really, illustrating the nihilistic depths to which we’ve sunk. Drowning in unremitting depravity, we’re gasping for breath, desperately trying to get our heads above …
My children and I were recently subjected to the strong-arm tactics of the Rainbow Mafia, which shares many characteristics with the real-world mob. LGBT tyranny is coercive, powerful, debased, domineering, and greedy, all while attempting to convince those in “the family” that it’s wholesome and loving. Unlike the secretive and illegal underworld of organized-crime syndicates, …
“Nothing more detestable does the earth produce than an ungrateful man.” — Ausonius “I think it is a fascinating opportunity to rebrand ourselves,” said Winston-Salem Council Member John Larson. This occurred at a recent meeting held to discuss removing the word “Dixie” from the name of the Dixie Classic Fair. Indeed, all the usual suspects …
Well, I began my last series with a shooting, and now we have another alleged “neo-Nazi” shooting. Both the violence that unfolded in Squirrel Hill, Pennsylvania, in October, and in Christchurch, New Zealand, in mid-March make it abundantly clear that it’s not actually loss of life that’s the story. Dead Christians don’t matter If the …
“It is un-Christian to wear a MAGA to the March For Life.” That was the social-media pronouncement from a really nice guy I know. What would make a usually mild-mannered Christian post such hostility? Moreover, this statement came a whole week after the brouhaha surrounding the male students from Covington Catholic High School. A whole week …
If you read my last blog, “Damn straight MAGA’s the new Battle Flag!” you may be asking yourself, “But what can we do? How can we counter progressivism? How can we ‘conservatives’ fight the madness?” Well, here are 5 suggestions – ideas that I think the “Covington kids” controversy made abundantly clear but need to be fully …
A sane, rational person can simultaneously feel sorrow over the lives lost in the recent Pittsburgh shooting and pray for their grieving families, while also critiquing the many predictable-to-extreme progressive commentaries saturating the social ether. Intellectual honesty and compassion are not mutually exclusive, even though that’s what cultural Marxists want you to think. It’s a …
One year ago today, Allen Armentrout took a rebel stand in Charlottesville, Virginia (see part 1). The world deemed his peaceful and principled actions as racist and traitorous. Like cultural-Marxist clockwork, the politically correct ramifications (see part 2) immediately began unfolding for the unReconstructed Southerner. “Sad thoughts … are necessary and good for us. They cause …
