Christmas Calibrates a Very Particular Event

In its essence, Christmas celebrates a very particular event, situated strictly in time and place. The Christmas baby was born in an identifiable year to flesh-and-blood parents in an actual village ruled by a named official of the Roman empire. It was the particularities that frightened the Jacobins, the most radical and ruthless of the political groups formed in the wake of the French Revolution, and in association with Robespierre they instituted the Terror of 1793-1794.  The Jacobians much preferred in their austerity to celebrate abstractions when they chose to celebrate at all. To replace Christmas, the Jacobins instituted holidays in honor of Virtue, Talent, Labor, and so on. A lotta fun, those French revolutionaries.

The enemies of Christmas, historically, have always been utterly humorless in this way; completely lacking in levity, mistrustful of human spontaneity and vivacity. They are therefore antithetical to the spirit of true religion, which is to see beyond the occasional gloom of the world to the luminous truth shining beneath. Angels can fly, goes the old saying, because they take themselves so lightly. What the Grinches of history have most hated about Christmas is that it was meant to give pleasure, in food and drink, in family and friendship, in faith and song.

And if one of those songs is "I Want a Boob Job for Christmas"? As G.K. Chesterton, a Christian apologist, pointed out, “wherever there is joy, there is apt to be vulgarity, as we tend to run away with ourselves when we are most celebratory. The Christmas of Christians survives all the vulgarity of secular excess. Or so Chesterton believed, and I'm not going to disagree. In our supposedly post-Christian age, Chesterton wrote that even secular people "will go on observing forms that cannot be explained; they will keep Christmas with Christmas gifts and Christmas benedictions; they will continue to do it; and suddenly one day they will wake up and discover why."

The joke is that Christmas, even in this attenuated form, remains the greatest evangelical tool Christians have at their disposal. One thing that is unquestionably theirs to which everyone else pays tribute, sometimes grudgingly but much more often with great, exhilarating abandon. There are some bells that can't be un-rung, some declarations, once made, that can't be unsaid. There is one star in the heavens that can never go dark.

We have a rich heritage in God, and now is not the time to forget it. Now is not the time to do the bidding of the enemy and follow Satan and his fallen angels, demons, succubus’s, rakshasas as personified by past and present secular left leaning politicos who are anti-American, are against the ideals that America promotes and for many people that can mean different things. Some people might see the political climate, and some might see a Nike or wine commercial and take a negative stance on the matter. Similarly, with the concept of pro-Americanism, people can see these different parts of America and be proud and feel inspired by what we promote.

Now, are recent and current anti-America and anti-theists U.S. Presidents, coconspirators of a great coup? Not enough evidence yet. One thing for certain we are to place our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, in Him there is our hope. The hinge of history is not on the door of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington, DC, but on the door of a Bethlehem stable.

Oh, by Gosh, by Golly

Was it not Marxist netroots and criminal activists within Antifa and BLM who popularized wearing of face masks when plundering and burning hundreds of America’s neighborhoods? Was it not this same type of social deviants who made mask wearing vogue while partaking in carjackings and smash-and-grab robberies? Could it be that these champions of criminal coteries could then wreak destruction on private property under the cover of anonymity and that way never be nailed for their criminal acts?

Was it not Dr. Anthony Fauci, the featured star on the televised White House Task Force on Covid-19, and others of his ilk who adapted the Antifa and BLM face-hiding masks for the masses when the pandemic initially kicked in? Then along comes Dr. William Schaffner, not to be confused with Captain Kirk of the Starship Enterprise. Dr. Schaffner, a physician who regularly appears on CNN is apparently urging everyone to wear masks at home on Christmas, regardless of vaccination status. Furthermore, the CNN Covid talking head also recommended “people get tested on Christmas Eve morning or Christmas morning before gathering with family.” 

Oh, by gosh, by golly, it’s no longer time for mistletoe and holly’, but time to wear face masks at Christmas, regardless of vaccination status. Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of government mandated masking, slaves to decreed vaccine passports or pillaging, looting and heists by Antifa, BLM, Carjacker, and Smash-and-Grab reprobates?

 

Finger Pointing BBB Joe Biden is Confused and Out of Touch

In his most gnarled and bizarre public address to date, on passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, “Build Back Better” Joe Biden rambled on that Americans are COVID “confused” and “worried.”  Imagine! It’s not befuddled Joe B. who’s confused. It’s we the American people who are confused.

Fresh back from the UN’s latest Climate Change Conference snake pit where everything was about ‘Build Back Better” (BBB), while without much thought, concern, or care went ahead blithely ignoring that the Republicans, with the help of Independents, and Moderate Democrats took back the entire State of Virginia while he was playing “BBB” in Glasgow, but it’s the American grassroots that are “confused”! It is apparent, a confused BBB Joe Biden insists on building the taxpaying middle-working class American people back Better.

It is time that we, the American people reminded President Biden and others who share his vision for the ruination of our Republic, that we pledge our allegiance, not to him, not to those of his ilk and their misguided unconstitutional mandates or edicts, but to the “Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Let me emphasize that being an active, engaged citizen means being a patriotic American every day. My personal message to President Biden follows: No law, no mandate, no finger pointing by you will make a citizen a patriot or a subservient minion as you have become for the anti-American left. Lest we forget, Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. In the words of John Adams, “A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored.” Liberty, once lost, is lost forever. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. Without America there is no free world, nor will America remain so.

Declinning Covid Vaccination on Religious Grounds

Uniformed Military Service, Federal employees, and military contractor personnel, who refuse to be Covid vacinated on religious grounds who have demonstrated their commitments to the United States Constitution and the Nation’s future comfort, security, and prosperity. A legal decision by the Court should demand that the Nation return the favor. Telling the previously mentioned personnel that they must accept/receive a vaccination they oppose according to their sincerely held religious beliefs, or face court martial, dishonorable discharge, and other life altering disciplinary measures, disgraces the sacrifices these patriots and heroes have made. To President Biden, Sectretary of Defense Austin and the Army, Navy, USMC, Air Force Service Chiefs and Military Chiefs of Staff, you will be remembered by your works. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Take heart for those who refuse the jab on religious grounds.

Divide, Conquer and Control

Let’s face it, Facebook's algorithm is effectively potent... It detects what we look at and gives us more of the same, and it's often something that makes the reader piqued, provoked, annoyed... or where we enjoy the other side receiving a prompt slap down or kick in the ass. Simply stated Facebook algorithms encourages the propagating of division, disconnection, detachment, disunity, disaccord, conflict... This being so, could Facebook be in league with Biden’s not so moderate political party? It is apparent to those of us with an IQ higher than that of an amoeba that the end goal of both Facebook and today’s Democrat Party might be indistinguishable. Is there a possibly that the two have combined forces for a particular purpose? In this case mutual protection and cooperation or maybe divide and conquer.

One must remember, if you make people uniform, you can control them. If you teach people to read, and think, and question things, you lose control. So, the best idea is to separate people if you wish to maintain a desired outcome. The result is called divide and conquer. By dividing people, they're not a threat, you can control them. It’s all about power. What say you?

 

Good News, Bad News, Ugly News

Good News. Today we know a great deal about the coronavirus and the threat, or lack thereof that it poses to American citizens. Most importantly, we know that the virus does not affect populations equally, which is why one-size-fits-all mandates make absolutely no sense. Additionally, young, healthy people with no preexisting conditions commonly encounter only mild symptoms from the virus. Virtually 98% of all COVID-19 deaths in the United States have occurred in those over 40.  Meanwhile, people who have high BMI’s or overweight face a much higher risk of severe symptoms and hospitalization. Furthermore, IAW CDC study and prevention revealed “78% of people who have been hospitalized, needed a ventilator, or died from Covid-19 have been overweight or obese.”  

Bad News. In his sweeping vaccine mandate on 80 million Americans, Biden and his public health bureaucrats make no distinction between groups based on age, overall health, or any other known risk factors. Nor do they consider the nearly 1 in 3 Americans who already have contracted and recovered from the virus, and thus have developed natural immunity, which multiple studies have shown is far more effective and longer lasting than the immunity achieved by vaccination. Question! Why should those who are naturally immune be penalized for refusing a vaccine that, for them, is probably medically unnecessary and lacks the evidence based on study/research. 

 

Ugly News. By the same token, thousands of American uniformed military personnel face a less-than-honorable discharge if they choose not to get vaccinated under Biden’s order. Our troops on the hole are young and in superb physical condition, and thus have weathered the pandemic storm better than almost any other group or members of humanity. The United States military has experienced  far fewer coronavirus cases and deaths related to previously stated submicroscopic infectious agent. This being the case, why exactly does Biden want to jettison thousands of our nation’s finest patriots simply for refusing a vaccination that all evidence suggests most of them do not need? The president’s absurd, unscientific, unnecessary, and unlawful vaccine mandate is now being echoed by some left-wing politicians across the nation. And the fire continues to spread... Despotic politicos across the nation have mandated vaccinations of all health care workers. Failure to comply results in termination of employment. In what bizarro world does it make sense to fire nurses, physicians, and other healthcare employees in the name of public health? What’s next? Hospice care workers. To add fuel to the pyre, the Biden administration is threatening to terminate fire thousands of unvaccinated Border Patrol agents. On the other hand, the record number of illegal aliens streaming across the border are exempt from what amounts to authoritarian rules American citizens are forced to live under. In fact, the Biden administration knowingly has released thousands of coronavirus positive illegal immigrants into American communities. POTUS 46 and other liberal politicians continue to move the goalposts every time someone has the mettle to ask when we can have our constitutional liberty restored. 

A Call to Arms to Battle The Left

You and I must remind our loved ones, neighbors, coworkers, Americans of all colors, people of faith, regardless of denominational affiliation, not to be intimidated by the deliberate vindictiveness and mean spiritedness of the radical Left. We must ensure the current and especially the next generation isn’t poisoned by the noxious fumes of deceit, mendacities, falsehoods... being spewed by this nations, self-proclaimed celebutante, powerful personages or pretentious Federal, State, and Local politicos, our secondary and post-secondary educators and educrats, MSM, Big Tech magnates, secular-humanists... that would indoctrinate/propagandize them to loathe America. Furthermore, it is imperative that we prepare our current and future generation of young people that while they may be tested for standing true to their Conservative principles, faith, values, and suppositions… they are not fighting alone, and they are able to win in the American Culture War against the political Left. The war is won, one battle at a time. It is my prayer that one day soon we can echo the words of President Ronald Reagan: “America is, and always will be, a shining city on a hill.” To God be the glory...
