Sun Tzu and the Republican National Convention

It’s an ancient military axiom that you usually don’t want to attack your enemy when and where he is expecting an attack. Perhaps not as old is the idea that politics is just a polite, dignified extension of warfare.

The RNC in Cleveland turned out to be a pleasant surprise in that no mayhem ensued, inside or outside the Convention venue.

Considering Ferguson, Baltimore, Chicago, San Jose, etc., it’s rather astounding that the Soros-funded useful idiots and other America-hating Millenials didn’t sieze the opportunity to stick it to The Man; show Whitey what’s up; shout truth (by the Marxist-Leninist definition) to power, and  otherwise beat down those fascist pigs who have the audacity to believe differently and contradict The Narrative.

One possible reason it didn’t happen might be that so many of us were expecting it. Another is that, because it was expected, a number of “alt right” activists journeyed to Cleveland and made their presence felt on the streets. At least a few of them were packing heat.

Possibly even more astonishing is that, inside the convention, the RINOs didn’t use a last-minute rule change or other dirty trick to railroad Trump out of the nomination.

Perhaps this, too, never developed because so many were expecting it (and many were openly vowing a violent response if it did). Or, more ominously, it might be because the puppeteers have finally gotten a handle on Trump somehow, and he has agreed to play ball (betray us like all the rest) if he wins the presidency.

His choice of running mate might indicate the latter.

Cuckservatism and the Biblical Worldview

In the first installment of this series on political affiliation and the Biblical worldview, we examined the left wing. But it will be useful, at least for practicing Christians, to put the spotlight on all the major political factions and their dogma. The second target is one which has come under much scrutiny lately, and as a result is largely unmasked.

There are a couple issues with the term “cuckservative,” at least as some define it, but I use it occasionally because it is the newest (therefore allegedly the most relevant) word to describe this political persuasion.

Part 2: NeoCons/cucks

In a nutshell, the defining characteristic of the NeoCon/RINO (Republican in Name Only)/cuckservative is that they predictably surrender to the left while feigning resistance–or at least disapproval of whatever they’re capitulating to at the moment.

When you look at what they’re actually pushing, it’s obvious that “liberals” and Democrats are just socialists and communists hiding behind noble-sounding semantic disguises. In like manner, Neocons are generally nothing more than socialists who want low taxes but big military budgets. They reinvented themselves and no longer identify as “liberal” or Democrats because they were turned off by the excesses of the Vietnam anti-war movement, or the Obamanation, Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy, etc.

There are three subcategories of NeoCons worth mentioning. While their behavior is fairly uniform across all subcategories, the motivations differ depending on the flavor of cuck:

  1. Cowards–these spineless pantywaists flee from the field with tails between legs whenever serious opposition is encountered.
  2. Judas Goats–wolves in sheep’s clothing, if you prefer. They pretend to be on our side, but will betray us at any and every opportunity. (Caveat: There are sleeper agents, who will appear to stay true to their stated convictions most of the time, only to betray the right at an opportune point during an important struggle. Think of how Obamacare got a pass from the Supreme Court–who was instrumental in that fiasco?)
  3. Milksops so obsessed with unspoken rules of propriety that they’d rather lose than appear to be mean-spirited.

In government, some NeoCons fit in Subcategory #1, but most probably belong to #2 above. Among the electorate, most would fit #1 & 3.

NeoCons have shown their true colors over and over again. Most recently, they took control of both the House and Senate on promises of de-funding Obamacare and stopping amnesty. It’s obvious now they never had any intention of doing so.

There are plenty of NeoCons mixed in with the general population. On social media they often show up in the role of “concern trolls.” While identifying themselves as “conservative” (whatever that means), they attack whoever is putting up a good fight against leftists/SJWs, decrying violations of unwritten etiquette protocols; “tone” that is “problematic;” “judgmentalism” or whatever excuse they can come up with to undermine the arguments of those they supposedly agree with.

Some bloggers have noted that NeoCons (“cucks”) can be easily identified by the fact that they always engage in friendly fire. Never are their figurative guns ever aimed in the direction of the enemy.

It’s not hard to determine what God thinks of treachery, deceit and betrayal. Cowardice is not condemned as often in the Bible, but it did cause an entire generation, except two men, to forfeit their inheritance. And as for the milksops more concerned with propriety than with what is right, Jesus had a many a condemnation for them, all through the gospels.

Some classify Churchians/Churchianity as the religious branch of cuckservatism. In fact, I almost lumped them into this post. But upon honest reflection, churchians come in many political flavors. While churchians are to Christendom what cuckservatives are to the right wing, and there is a lot of overlap, not every churchian can accurately be labeled a NeoCon/cuck. And so, Churchianity will probably get its own post.

Contrast time:

The Christian Worldview

  • God is the Creator of all things, and perfect. He sets the standards of morality.
  • Mankind is fallen, and will use free will to do wrong, hurt others and reject God.
  • The world is currently under the dominion of God’s (and our) Adversary.
  • God the Father sent God the Son to pay the price to redeem the world.
  • God the Son will return to collect what he paid for–the Earth itself and all those who accept His pardon.
  • Women are the weaker sex, created to be men’s helpers.
  • People should be responsible stewards of whatever is under their respective authority.
  • There are times when you must fight. When you do, fight to win. And don’t stop until the enemy is utterly defeated, incapable of further aggression.
  • Shoot straight; do what is right; let your yes be yes and your no be no. What people think of you is not nearly as important as your standing with God.

 The NeoCon Worldview

  • The last issue they surrendered on became the status quo, which therefore determines the standards of morality.
  • Mankind is basically good. Good always triumphs over evil. And left-wingers determine who and what is evil. Those in power always have good intentions, except for  some foreign aberrations like Adolph Hitler and Saddam Hussein.
  • The world is getting better and better, except for a few idiosyncratic developments, occasionally. Keep a positive attitude and everything will turn out sunshine and puppies.
  • Mankind needs to believe in a god, or some sort of higher power, just don’t get all carried away with it and please avoid specifics. Ultimately, popular opinion and status quo are more important, anyway.
  • Belief that we are heading for an economic collapse; martial law/tyranny; or especially “Judgment Day,” the Apocalypse, etc., is too gloom-and-doom–therefore it won’t ever happen.
  • Women are supreme–more honest, moral, strong, heroic, and self-sacrificing than men. They should be given whatever they want, enjoy the benefit of the doubt in every conflict, be lavished with special treatment, and never have to suffer consequences.
  • We should severely restrict the rights and freedoms of law-abiding citizens; but allow gazillions of beligerant parasites to invade our country; consume our resources; help bankrupt our already savaged economy; make a mockery of our elections; and gradually build from biting the hand that feeds them, to armed insurrection, to full-scale, racially motivated civil war. Because compassion.
  • Winning is good as an abstract concept, but only if it can be done without hurting the enemy, or their feelings. Also, there are unwritten rules of propriety and, if you violate one during conflict, you are worse than your enemy.  Ultimately, it is better to lose nobly than to ruffle feathers in the rash pursuit of victory.
  • The truth needs to be watered down and sugar-coated. Call good evil and evil good if popular opinion and the status quo demands it. Virtue signal frequently to win the approval of the left. Back down, surrender, or flee with tail between legs if somebody calls you sexist or racist.

In war, enemy soldiers captured are supposed to be treated humanely, until terms are met for their release. When spies are captured, however, they are put to death. Similarly, what these backstabbing “allies” do is even more contemptible than the behavior of our blatant enemies.

The Clinton Mafia Assumes You are Stupid and Weak

Just like her husband the Teflon Traitor, and the Obamanible Hussein, Hillary Clinton can and will get away with anything, if it’s up to the utterly corrupt “justice” system, and the lapdog media.

In this video, a Congressional panel asks some of the questions of Clinton stooge (FBI Director) James Comey, after he said normal citizens would go to jail for what Hillary did, but she should not.

The Clinton Mafia is waving this in your face. They are sending you the message that they are untouchable. And frankly, any Democrat nominee could rape and murder an infant on national TV, and 40% of registered voters would still vote for them. Add the inevitable voter fraud to that fanatic base, and perhaps they are untouchable in this rigged system.

Pay attention to what Comey says toward the end of this video:

Did you catch that? Here’s the message:

“I am conspiring with the other Clinton puppet (my boss, Loretta Lynch) to let Hillary Clinton skate on this. However, don’t you little pissant citizens out there get the idea that you could get away with something like this, because we’d nail your ass for it.”

 

FBIuseless

Only the naive and gullible imagined Hillary might have faced some sort of consequences for anything she’s done. The elite have determined that she will be the next executive order-slinging defacto dictator president, and nothing can stop them from ramrodding her into the White House…assuming that any of a number of impending national emergencies don’t preempt the election this November, that is.

Political Affiliation and the Biblical Worldview

In the political arena, labels have been assigned and mis-assigned to such an extent that mass confusion reigns. George Orwell in his novel 1984 tipped us off to how socialists (of whatever stripe, it turns out) destroy language and replace it with Newspeak. This frames debate in their favor, before the debate even begins. For instance: by letting them define themselves as “pro-choice,” you have agreed with the assumption of moral superiority by those who want taxpayer-funded infanticide. By accepting terminology like “hate crime” you are actually endorsing the concept of what Orwell called “thought crime”–a crime that is committed in your mind before any physical act has occurred.*

Into all this convoluted mess comes the so-called “alt right,” confusing people further by confirming established fallacies while introducing new considerations. While the labels “liberal” and “conservative” are increasingly recognized as misnomers, the deception regarding what is truly “left” and “right” may never be undone.

At the conclusion of history, we will not have to answer to some political party, nor any created being, but to the supreme power of the universe–the Creator Himself. How closely we adhered to the standards of popular opinion and evolving secular morality will not earn us anything on that day.

That said, and because political affiliation does have meaning for all at the present time, it would be worthwhile to analyze the major political factions at work in the USA and worldwide, based on the eternal standards God revealed to us in the 66 books of the Holy Bible.

You will find people who identify themselves as Christians all across the political spectrum. But observing what they say, how they act and who they vote for can shed light on what they actually believe. Christianity is a matter of what one believes (and that belief, or faith, is demonstrated through words and deeds), so it only makes sense that a tree is judged by its fruit.

It makes sense to start with the dominant ideology, which has shaped law and policy for the last few generations, and has an ironclad grip on pop culture, the mainstream media, academia and every other government mouthpiece.

Part 1: The Left-Wing

 

Leftists like to disguise what they are by calling themselves “liberal,” “social justice warriors” and other self-aggrandizing titles. Nevertheless, I will categorize them according to their actual worldview which is collectivist and despotic.

Jesus often taught compassion for the poor, and helping those in need. One tactic of leftists is to cherry-pick verses out of those teachings in an attempt to persuade that Christian doctrine is best exemplified by the Democratic Party. Some even teach that Jesus was a socialist.

What is conveniently ignored is that Jesus hung the conviction for charity on the shoulders of the individual believer. He never suggested that a believer should steal the property of his neighbor in order to give it to somebody else (in theory the needy; in reality government and its army of bureaucrats). Theft is theft, even when you get the government to do the dirty work for you.  There are examples of disciples sharing what they had with each other, but the Lord did not teach wealth redistribution via political apperatus.

Christianity is about bridging the gap between God and the individual, so it is a very individualistic faith. You can’t expect some organization or party to take the place of our only mediator, who is Jesus.

Leftism is all about group identity. Whatever demographic you fit in either gives you an all-purpose excuse (via Sacrosanct Victim Status) or condemns you as an enemy to humanity as a whole and to progress (as they define it). Hence the white male heterosexual is assumed to be an enemy, and treated accordingly, unless or until he proves to them his allegiance to The Agenda and The Narrative.

Jesus said those who love Him would obey his commandments; that those who aren’t with Him are against Him; and that He is the only way to salvation. Never once did He imply that demographic affiliation was an adequate substitute for conscious, individual choice.

If everyone obeyed the Commandment not to covet what belongs to somebody else, the left would lose its voter base overnight. Jesus never repealed the Ten Commandments. In fact, He expounded upon them.

Let’s compare summaries of the respective outlooks.

The Christian Worldview

  • God is the Creator of all things, and perfect. He sets the standards of morality.
  • The world is currently under the dominion of His Adversary.
  • Mankind is fallen, and will use free will to do wrong, hurt others and reject God.
  • God the Father sent God the Son to pay the price to redeem the world.
  • God the Son will return to collect what he paid for–the Earth itself and all those who accept His pardon.

The Left-Wing Worldview

  • There is no such thing as good and evil, right and wrong…
  • However, those who disagree are wrong…
  • And those who expose leftists as liars and hypocrites are evil.
  • Truth is relative: whatever helps advance progress is true.
  • Whatever hinders progress (as they define it) is false.
  • Standards of morality are set by Hollywood, mainstream media and Facebook consensus.
  • God is whatever you want it to be, so long as your faith in it doesn’t hinder progress or contradict The Narrative.

It’s tempting to go into more detail, but for the sake of brevity I’m avoiding the temptation.

The bottom line is, the typical leftist trusts in government more than God, and lifts up government as more important than God. This is idolatry by definition, and a violation of the First Commandment.

Leftism is an anti-Christian worldview, and its sad that this fact must be spelled out at all.

* Murder of a homosexual, for instance, is a “hate crime,” whereas other murders are not. Therefore, the murderer must have committed some crime in addition to murder, for it to be worse than other murders. Therefore, those who don’t approve of homosexuality have already committed Thought Crime, even if they don’t commit murder. That’s why they should be fined out of business for not baking a cake or thrown in jail for refusing to perform a ceremony, you see.

Join the Military For Subsidized Sex Change

This is what we’ve come to, America. And yet, believe it or not, there’s still potential for it to get much worse. What a gift for America’s birthday. And the so-called Justice Department is aiding/abetting yet another Clinton coverup.

The agenda to sodomize the US Armed Forces began in earnest with the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy the Clinton Administration devised in order to circumvent the law. As with anything else, “conservatives” opposed it, until it became status quo. Then they defended it,

But of course “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” wasn’t enough for the gender-bending social engineers. They wanted homosexuals serving openly and flamboyantly in the military. They got their way, but that wasn’t enough, either.

In a military where Christians are forced into the closet, every flavor of sexual perversity is now subsidized, and enjoying protected status. (Oops, I shouldn’t say “every flavor,” as I’m sure they’ll come up with more in days to come.)

What’s even more disgusting than these developments is how many people approve of them. The Indoctrination Industry has served its purpose well. While Bill Clinton was poisoning the military from within, he was also ramrodding the LGBT agenda down the throats of children, with education initiatives. Those children are grown up and voting, now.

The cultural undercurrents right now suggest that pedophilia is the next deviency targeted for normalization. Canada, normally 15-20 years ahead of the USA in its cultural suicide, is toying with the normalization of bestiality. Yay, progress.

Tony Stewart’s Swan Song

…Is showing signs of life.

With a thrilling last second see-saw finish, Tony Stewart fought his way to a win at Sonoma on Sunday. This was his first win since coming back from a spinal injury, in what will be his last season in NASCAR’s Cup series.

Stewart’s fortunes improved when Lady Luck gave the field a caution right after his green flag pit stop, and he took the lead for the first time. After two deft restarts. he held off Martin Truex Jr. and Denny Hamlin, in turn…until the very last lap. Stewart got loose and let Hamlin get around him, and it looked like it was all over (despite announcer and former race driver Jeff Gordon assuring the audience it was not).

Two turns later, Hamlin was paying more attention to Stewart in his mirror than negotiating the turn, and drifted too wide on entrance. Stewart dove underneath, taking the inside of the curve. They traded some paint, and Hamlin bounced off the wall. Stewart sped away and took the checkered flag seconds later.

SmokeSearsPoint

Tony Stewart has got some bragging rights–the only driver to win championships in both NASCAR and Indy Car; and to win championships with three different Cup sponsors–Winston, Nextel and Sprint. He’s also got eight road course wins.

The race was not without its heartbreaks. Clint Boyer suffered a DNF (Did Not Finish) due to an electrical fire. A.J. Allmendinger took the lead for a while and looked very strong until a bad adjustment during a pit stop got him moving backwards through the field. And Dale Earnhardt Jr, who had a well-performing car and was moving forward all day (despite some pit stop setbacks), was on the receiving end of an automotive billiards shot resulting in a tire rub that yanked him out of the top ten.

Stewart was having a rough season, but now he’s in the Chase. Maybe this is the turning point in what will be a Cinderella season.

Sonoma (formerly Sears Point) and Watkins Glen are the two Cup Series road courses, and my favorite races of the season take place there.

Trump Takes Off the Gloves

…And gives Hillary the pimp-slapping she deserves.

I apologize for linking to Politico; but a search for Trump’s speech failed to locate a transcript on any site besides the leftist virtual rags.

There was plenty more that The Donald could have said about the Clintons, but what he did say opened a whole can of butthurt on Hillary and her army of useful idiots. Really, this speech was unprecedented in my lifetime.

Even a goose-stepping leftard gets something right every once in a while.
Even a goose-stepping leftard gets something right every once in a while.
  1. The elites have mastered the science of limiting our choices, then getting us to bicker about what is within their approved frame of debate. Policies which would put American interests first do not fit within the approved frame of choices. Other nations are allowed, expected, and encouraged to seek their own interests first, but this is forbidden for the USA. Donald Trump just took a chainsaw to the Approved Frame and stomped the fragments to splinters. Not even Reagan managed to implement “America First” trade and foreign policies, though perhaps he would have liked to. If President Trump’s actions match this rhetoric, we will witness an attempt at a polar shift in policy (which could have saved the country 20-30 years ago).
  2. The Clintons and Obama have committed high crimes and treason worthy of the death penalty. While it’s expected that the press and the Democrats (forgive the redundancy) would approve of their treachery, and assist in the cover-ups, one would at least expect their “opposition” in the GOP, Fox News, et al, to take them to task for it. But “conservatives” (whatever that means) prefer to strain out gnats while swallowing camels. That’s why, for instance, the GOP made a big deal out of one of Bill Clinton’s tamer sexcapades, while hardly mentioning his giving of military secrets to Red China. No doubt many in the GOP were successfully blackmailed via the FBI dossiers on them criminally obtained by the Clintons; but there’s also the insane unwritten rule among NeoCons that Democrats should get off scot-free when the their crimes are so heinous that drawing attention to them would transgress some unwritten sense of propriety. Donald Trump just skull-stomped that tradition, too. Nobody else running for public office anywhere has had the guts to call a skunk a skunk. The Donald just drew attention to highlights of Hillary’s rap sheet that Big Media has been working so craftily and diligently to hide. I have underestimated before both Big Media’s capacity for doubling down, and the obedience of two-legged sheep who follow Big Media to think only what they are told to think…but it seems to me it’s gonna be very difficult to get the toothpaste back in the tube now that Trump has squeezed it out.

We will never be able to fix a rigged system by counting on the same people who rigged it in the first place. – Donald Trump

Republicans are supposed to bring knives to gunfights. Donald Trump just brought a full auto grenade launcher. This is yet another reason the RINOs will just hate him even more, and shriek how they will vote for Hillary instead of him.

She gets rich making you poor.

…Hillary Clinton has also been the biggest promoter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which will ship millions more of our jobs overseas – and give up Congressional power to an international foreign commission. – Donald Trump

Kudos to Trump for drawing a distinct line between himself and the globalists. It’s a shame Trump decided to infect such a strong speech by pandering to LGBTs and Bernie Sanders voters (forgive the redundancy). He also checked the “poor moderate Muslim victims” box, too. Granted: even firebrands feel the need to butter up the fickle swing voters on occasion, and being from New York, it’s quite possible that his warm, squishy sentiments toward sexual deviants, socialist midwits and backslidden cultists are authentic; but a better strategy would have been to stick to  bold, cocksure Trumpian  broadsides against his selected targets, like this one:

Ambassador Stevens and his staff in Libya made hundreds of requests for security.

Hillary Clinton’s State Department refused them all.

She started the war that put him in Libya, denied him the security he asked for, then left him there to die.

To cover her tracks, Hillary lied about a video being the cause of his death. – Donald Trump

How are Hillary, her handlers, and the globalist machine going to handle broadsides like this?

Until they can lock down the Internet and reassert their monopoly on the flow of information, this is a sticky wicket for them. My best guess is that they will ignore the specifics Hillary is called out on, and try to dismiss the speech in its entirety as delusional crackpot fodder. Oh yeah, and racist, of course. But it’s not an easy assignment–they must avoid, at all costs, intriguing ignorant fence-sitters into actually listening to the charges. Hearing Trump’s actual words might motivate them to do some fact-checking of their own, and the usurpers dare not let Hillary’s track record come under any meaningful scrutiny. They have to assassinate Trump’s character, somehow, if not the man himself. There are efforts to do this, ongoing, like the Trump University controversy and vague accusations about his business practices… but they have been uncharacteristically inept, so far.

The irony of it is, they’ve had such success ruining America’s moral compass (in order to get the sheeple to accept the amoral scum they foist on us every election, and to normalize perversity), that stirring up moral outrage against Trump for unethical practices, real or fabricated, is hardly an effective tactic anymore.

Here are a few things a Trump Administration will do for America in the first 100 days:

Appoint judges who will uphold the Constitution. Hillary Clinton’s radical judges will virtually abolish the 2nd amendment.

Change immigration rules to give unemployed Americans an opportunity to fill good-paying jobs

Stand up to countries that cheat on trade, of which there are many

Cancel rules and regulations that send jobs overseas

Lift restrictions on energy production…

Is the Orlando Shooting a Crisis That Will Go to Waste?

Latest reports from Orlando are that 59 are dead and 53 wounded at an LGBT night club. This latest media circus shooting spree efficiently checks off more than one box in reinforcing The Narrative:

  • “We need to do something about these awful guns!”
  • “We need to do something about these awful thought criminals who don’t accept homosexuality as normal!”
  • “We need an expanded Terrorist Watch List!”
  • There oughta’ be more laws empowering Big Brother to spy on citizens to determine if they’re harboring thought crimes that might later turn violent!”

Unfortunately, I was in a public venue this morning, where the TV was on, tuned to MSNBC. That bastion of impartial journalistic integrity was sickeningly predictable in the series of stimuli it broadcast out to its braindead audience. Had someone been participating in a drinking game, the obvious words and phrases to establish as drinking penalty cues would be “guns in America;” “horrific;” “hate crime;” “anti-gay violence” and “assault weapon.”

The talking heads on MSNBC put an “expert” on from that bastion of civil liberties, the FBI, to parrot the blanket generalizations of the Political-Media Axis. Techniques like this are never to provide insights into law enforcement or to reveal specific information about the case in question. The purpose is to have somebody in a position of authority endorse The Narrative.

Interestingly, the FBI mouthpiece took pains to check the “Islam is a religion of peace” box while implying homophobia and the right to keep and bear arms are at fault for the shooting. Again: predictable. Before many facts were known, the spin doctors tipped their hand as to how this crisis will be milked.

The shooter, Omar Mateen, allegedly called 911 himself, and declared allegiance to the Islamic State. But since we have it on the authority of Barrack Hussein Obama that the Islamic State is not Islamic, we can safely assume that it is gun-toting, church-going, right-wing military veteran home-schoolers who are really to blame.

sodomites-muslims

The shooter is also allegedly a US citizen (originally an “anchor baby” of two Afghans, sounds like). But even if he wasn’t, you could bet money that of all the solutions being considered by the Political-Media Axis, closing the border will not be one of them.

It is admitted that there are ISIS terror cells in every major American city. It is also admitted that hordes of violent jihadis are swarming into our country through our open borders (mixing in with the multitudes of La Raza type subversives). There is absolutely no effort to check this invasion, even though the Federal Government is required by law to do so. But the Feds are more enthusiastic about breaking the law than upholding it, and in fact will sue any state that tries to protect its own section of the border. Meanwhile, US Citizens are treated like criminal suspects at airports, bus stations and sports arenas “for our security.”

This situation only makes sense for those hell-bent on destroying what is left of America. They have a whole bunch of solutions in need of crises in order to implement. A heavily-armed sociopathic fifth column dwelling among us is custom-designed to provide the necessary crises.

Funded by your tax dollars, BTW.
