Bush DID make history on the White House lawn...
and every politically astute liberal knows it.
By John Haskins
More denial, folks. As always, every politically aware liberal and homosexual activist in the country knows what many on "Our Side" have scrambled to deny. Here's a little reality pill to nibble on: another incremental surrender DID occur and history WAS made in this White House Easter Egg Roll, in an almost irreversible way. Homosexuals, bearing their trophy children — helpless prisoners in the War Against Future Generations — were welcomed without so much as blink of an eye at a family event on a high Christian holy day.
Make no mistake: those who plot and scheme tirelessly against the innocence of our children, and against our rights as parents to defend them and who have sworn enmity against our God, know that they won that Easter egg roll and we lost. No, once again, we didn't lose. We surrendered. Our specialty. And we then chastised those among us who warned against one more polite, quiet, peaceful, dignified, lazy, little surrender.
Why don't pro-family people understand how much the "little" things like this advance society's acceptance of homosexual "families," homosexual child rearing and homosexual "marriages?" How blind can we be? WHY did homosexual activists even bother to strategize, attend and publicize their attendance at this egg rolling? What do they know that we REFUSE to know? There is GENIUS in first portraying George Bush as "anti-gay" and then showing that even an "anti-gay" Christian, Republican stands by politely and lets a White House children's event on a Christian holy day be used to mainstream a homosexual revolution that represents the total and final defeat of Judeo-Christian civilization and morality. Consider: if even an "anti-gay," Republican, Christian like George Bush silently surrenders little propaganda victories without a fight, how would one of those ridiculous, long-bearded, extremist, homophobic Old Testament prophets look protesting at the White House? The entire Gospel is compromised by our determination to avoid girding for war — to shun the "extremism" of our own Scriptures.
Those who plot the undoing of all that is good for your children and grandchildren are the "enemies" of your children and grandchildren. Yes, folks, "enemies" IS the word, and they are girded for war and we are not. They have what we still do not have: a clear, honest knowledge that their homosexual revolution gains VITAL propaganda value in such successes. Why do we not see this, when they regard it as obvious enough to sacrifice their free time to pull this off? Because we are mired in layer after layer after layer of denial. As the Russians used to quip satirically under Stalin: "The streetcars are running, so this must be a normal country."
Well my SUV and my minivan are looooooookin' good! My house is sharp and the neighbors are impressed! So this must still be a normal country. Guess what, folks. The Holy Scriptures promise you this: If you do not melt down your false idols and gird up for war, all these things will be taken from you, as will your very liberty and the liberty of your children — which you have squandered while lingering in the marketplace to buy and consume, while the Philistines are raping and pillaging. No, this is no longer "a normal country" in any sense that might cause God to go back and "tone down his rhetoric" in the Holy Scriptures. As Christ warned the religious of his time: "You do not believe me because you do not believe Moses."
At the deepest level of our souls, far beneath the level of conscious thoughts, we are still absolutely committed to losing the Culture War for our children. Because the price of victory is just too high.
Here we have pro-family Christians bending over backwards to defend George and Laura Bush by explaining away the White House's refusal to prevent a family event from being used for political propaganda that is supposedly hostile to the values of this administration. Let's get this into our heads: Two, not one, TWO victories were won by the homosexual revolution this Easter:
Every little surrender can be explained and defended. Until, finally, there are simply no more surrenders to offer to the cause of "reasonable" behavior, because there is no more cause. The war is over. We have lost, hardly even having fought or sacrificed, because most of our energy was spent trying to find the "reasonable" middle ground.
We cannot face the stark choices that the Prophets and the Apostles and Christ himself placed constantly before those who claim to be the People of God. There is no comfortable middle ground in the battle between Good and Evil. There is war and there is surrender. Peace is not on the table. Pretending that a time of war is actually a time of peace is cowardice. The cowardice of a thousand surrenders. We cannot gather ourselves and gird up for war, given the clear choices that our God and our Faith have presented, because winning would require of us such a spiritual transformation that our entire characters, our lifestyles, our values, the sincerity of our worship, who and what we are would have to change.
More reality pills for the denial addict:
Fact: George Bush SAID publicly that he is in favor of individual states deciding for themselves whether to have or not to have homosexual marriage, as has Vice President Cheney.
Fact: Carl Rove, George Bush's chief political strategist, has listed winning over homosexual voters to vote for Bush as a high priority.
Fact: George Bush has met with radical, anti-Christian homosexual groups (and seems to have made private commitments to them, such as that he will not push forward a constitutional amendment on marriage between one man and one woman).
Fact: George Bush has REFUSED to meet with organizations representing former homosexuals who have become Christians and left the homosexual lifestyle to hear their views on issues.
Fact: He has appointed flagrant, militant homosexuals to important positions, such as the ambassadorship in Rumania.
Fact: Other than make a statement occasionally to shore up his support before an election, he has done absolutely nothing to preserve traditional marriage.
Now, is the following a fact or just my speculation? In the run-up to the congressional elections in the fall George Bush will start talking about homosexual marriage and abortion again to get the pro-family vote out for Republicans, then after the election, he will go back to doing nothing about the collapse of our culture and the gradual criminalization of Christian beliefs as "hate crimes." Do you want to place a bet on this last point?
Now, as for Mr. Bush's flamboyant mounting of the "state's rights" bandwagon after violating states rights on education and every other issue, I don't think God sees sodomy marriage or sodomy adoptions as a "states rights issue." I don't think Moses did. ("Let the tribes decide!") I don't think George Washington or Thomas Jefferson or John Adams or any other signer of the Declaration or the Constitution did. Or Abraham Lincoln. After, all, he didn't think slavery was, even though slavery was the status quo and was protected in the Constitution until after the Civil War. Our Founding documents were explicitly based on the "Law of God and Nature's God."
Why does Mr. Bush selectively take cover in "states rights?" Well, for the same reason he favors a "right" to abort any child who — its mother claims — was conceived during a rape or act of incest. Claims. That's it. No proof. If you just claim that, then suddenly your baby is not a human being, according to Mr. Bush and his wife Laura. Not a baby, just a chunk of meat. And you can kill chunks of meat. Bush did not even say he opposes killing these babies but regrets that there is no way to outlaw such killing. No, he supports "the right" to kill such babies.
This is the president who was recently quoted shouting to his staff "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face! It's just a damn piece of paper!" Oaths of office are infinitely flexible things, and constitutions are just pieces of paper, as George's Massachusetts friend Mitt, has thoroughly proven by ordering "marriage" licenses given to homosexuals, in direct violation of clear and binding Massachusetts law.
Fancy another glass of "establishment conservative" Kool-Aid to wash down the taste of lies?
