Not a “Homophobe”
Re: https://www.thoughtco.com/why-some-conservatives-oppose-gay-marriage-3303437 Nope. Not afraid of ’em. Never thought sodomy was a good idea. Never found it appealing, must less the right thing to do. But more important than my sentiments are God’s opinions, sentiments, and His Declaration. Indeed, it is not “my opinion” on which I rest my case and mind-set and orientation. It […]

Of the Wanderers
They walk the streets Head phones in place Pates turned down with a Beanie atop Diggin’ some music And lovin’ that dope Pissing away a life That was given By God for more Than just to wander About the streets and Crashing in the landing Never to know What it was for Him to adore […]

A Disciple of Cortez, We Wish!
4 Oct., 2019 Why must we be inconvenienced by this liberal – Ocasio-Cortez – who can’t abide the two-become-one-and-assume-the name-of-the-man tradition known as marriage? (Such goofy rejection of the sanctity of traditional marriage by Ocasio-Cortez brings shame on that noble name, the conqueror of the Aztecs – those heathen who sacrificed human beings to their […]

The Sordid Judges of the Righteous
19 February, 2020 Consider the benighted prosecutors and judges who execute judgment against clinic bombers, and slayers of baby murderers (a.k.a. abortionists and, as the prevaricative expression goes, those good doctors who were just “doing their job”!) Sick puppies, indeed. But how will they fare on that Day. That day of Judgment will not be […]

February Februation!
17 February, 2020 Oh February! What a Dark Past You Have! The Februarius Mensis, the cleansing month, so-called because of the festival Februa (see februum: “religious purification” and Februa, the Roman feast of purification held on 15 February) reminds us of the pagan past from which Western (and especially Christian) civilization emerged. (Thanks be to […]

“Booty Gig.” Hmm. What has the Nation Come To?
6 Feb., 2020 After 47 years of baby-butchery (re: Roe of course), soon followed by the decriminalization of sodomy across the fruited plain, we cannot be surprised at the candidacy of a sodomite for President. Yes, one Pete Buttigieg. No. It doesn’t take a lot of hocus pocus to get such a deviant in that […]

Post State-of-the-Union-Address Meditation
5 Feb., 2020 That those in darkness would come into the Light, O Lord! We pray for you to open the eyes of abortionists, sodomites, Godless hippies, Democrats, and any dopey GOPers who have not embraced the most important principle of the GOP – the defense of the innocents in the womb. And for those […]

Reflections on Hedonism
30 January, 2020 How deceitful pleasure can be! When we put our own comfort and joys and situations ahead of right and truth and suffering. All the discomfort and pain which might have served to correct and strengthen our souls is avoided and shunned in preference for pleasure and comfort. Lactantius, a church father of […]

Got to Take a Schiff!
25 Jan., 2020 Oh Mercy! Got to Take a Schiff! Adam Schiff’s disgraceful whining against our President makes me want to apply his name in memorial fashion in “honor” of his baseless, political machinations – as in “I need to take a schiff right now! We are inspired to defecate. Yes, let us relieve ourselves […]

“Faith in Action” Folly
23 January, 2020 I get a newsletter in the mail occasionally, titled Faith in Action, edited by one Ralph Reed. The publication is devoted to advancing morality in government for which I commend it. But it subverts this goal but undermining itself with non-sense support for the contemporary state of Israel. Millenarian fantasies – doctrinal […]
