I have not spoken much
About either Scotuscare or gay marriage, because it does no good. If I don’t wave a rainbow flag I’m hatey mchaterson, and frankly, I’m sick to death of people who have no discernible faith telling me how I should practice mine, people who aren’t gay telling me what gays want and do and what their intentions are, and people who are just fine with seeing the church “Taken down a notch or two”. Fuck’em. So called “Libertarians” would, you think, be interested in the protection of everyone’s liberties, not just those they favor. Everyone who reads here anymore who thinks they understand what I’m talking about, and disagrees, take it for granted you do not understand. And I can’t make you understand, because you have too much invested in me being wrong, to even admit it to yourself.
Hillary Clinton will be our next president. She will probably do one term and then foist some other horror off on us. If we have another republican in our lifetime it will be someone that makes Chris Christie look like Ronald Reagan.
No, I don’t have any intention of giving up. I shake the dust from my sandals at all those “Reasonable people” who have never once made the slightest effort to even consider I might be right, which now, demonstrably, I am. We have entered a period of persecution of Christians that will not end well for anyone. I’m sick of all the condescending shitbirds that sneer at the ongoing harm being done to Christians, and I don’t have any patience for them anymore. I have my own path, and will follow it, and I need no more counsel in that direction than my own informed conscience. I will do one thing all those idiots hate so much, I will continue to pray at them, in as much a premeditated way as possible.
Meanwhile, a lot of Christians have made the decision, as have I, long, long ago, to be in the world, but not of it. I highly recommend that choice for anyone still reading that still cares.

Word.
You truly are my brother.
Not of this world.
Remember when Libs as a bad word meant Liberals, not libertarians who don’t mind judicial tyranny just so their gay friends can marry?
NOTW…
NFO, I been thinking of getting challenge coins made like that, NOTW. Whattya think?
It’s a struggle, sometimes, but that’s the path I’ve chosen.
The Leonard Cohen song, Everybody Knows.
It’s my soundtrack for life, for the time being.
It’s easy to say one or two people jumped the shark by being Chicken Littles, but not only in e-space, with conservative blogs, “manosphere” ones, Catholic ones, but even in meet-space, there is an air of the clock running out at the end of the game, and the lead along with the momentum of the game was hopelessly blown. Some are spent, kneeling bloody and exhausted like that famous Y.A. Tittle photo. Some are ready to fight harder in the way that the man who has nothing left to lose becomes a fearsome foe. Others desire to draw back and somewhat emulate the Amish, drawing away from the collapsing society to survive to build the future. Sometimes called the Benedict of Nursia option. Everybody knows that the war is over. Everybody knows that the good guys lost.
Your statement about being in the world but not of it reminded me that above the Buland Darwaza (‘Great Gateway’) in the abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri in India is the inscription, “Isa (Jesus), son of Mary said: ‘The world is a Bridge, pass over it, but build no houses upon it.'”

You articulate what I think way better than I ever will.
Thanks

Times they are a changin’.
I know.
Since our leaders have all but given in to ISIS it is a forgone conclusion that I will die in a fire fight. I will chose the time of my death. It will not be chosen for me. Jesus might not like it, but I will not give them the satisfaction.
Well said.
