This is no longer about conservative versus liberal. In starkest terms, it is Jerusalem and Bethlehem versus Sodom and Gomorrah.
The divisions in our country go far beyond conservative versus liberal or Republican versus Democrat.
Not that the parties are unimportant. More on that in a minute.
It’s right versus wrong and whether we’ll be able to pass on America’s heritage of liberty and prosperity to our children and grandchildren.
One side – the progressive, Marxist left – wants to expand government to intrude into every human activity except one – sexuality. For that, they seek to eradicate all moral, cultural and legal restraints. They have cheapened marriage, warred against public decency laws, assailed conservative Christians, turned schools into indoctrination centers and made abortion into an unholy sacrament.
The conservative side is supposed to be defending the moral order. Some are, although Republicans have their share of cultural termites. But as for Democrats? They’re all in.
How else to explain the votes this past week in the House of Representatives? If a picture is worth 1,000 words, some roll calls are worth 10,000.
The “Born Alive” bill, which mandates medical care for babies who survive abortions, passed 220-210. All Republicans voted yes. All but one Democrat voted no. Let that sink in.
A couple of Democrats whined that the bill was unnecessary, contending that federal law already protects aborted babies born alive. Fine, but why not add another layer of protection? Democrats like former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam have talked out loud about letting babies dies after birth.
Similarly, a resolution condemning recent attacks on churches and crisis pregnancy centers by domestic terrorists passed with all 219 Republicans voting yes. All but three Democrats voted no.
Since the Dobbs ruling overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked before its official release last June, vandals, arsonists and other thugs have attacked more than 104 Catholic churches and 78 crisis pregnancy centers.
You’d think that might bother all those self-professed Catholics or church-going Protestants. But abortion advocacy apparently leaves all other concerns in the dust, even if lawmakers say they “personally oppose” it.
The late writer Phil Nicolaides observed of one pro-abortion Catholic Democrat, “his religion is so private he won’t even impose it on himself.”
Some Democrats complained the resolution was inadequate because it didn’t also condemn attacks on abortion clinics. No, and it didn’t address the Russian invasion of Ukraine, either.
The Washington Post, which revealingly headlined its piece, “House Republicans approve two antiabortion measures,” quoted a spokeswoman from NARAL Pro-Choice America who described crisis pregnancy facilities as “fake pregnancy centers” (because they help preserve life instead of killing babies).
The FBI is supposedly investigating some of the attacks, but still has made no arrests. Meanwhile, Attorney General Merrick Garland has formed a task force to prosecute crimes against “reproductive health providers, patients, and facilities.”
This reminds me of how officials used the COVID pandemic to padlock churches and synagogues but kept the strip clubs, bars and abortion clinics open as “essential” services.
Wielding the pro-abortion federal FACE Act, the Justice Department has arrested at least 68 peaceful, praying pro-life protesters. The “enforcement” includes SWAT-style raids terrorizing at least one family in their home.
Well-intentioned people implore us to end all the division and just get along. Since the Left will never stop, “peace” would require surrender.
One of the progressives’ favorite pursuits is hounding the Catholic Church to “get with the times” and relax its biblical view of sex and marriage. The late Joseph Sobran had an answer for that. He said, in effect: “I wouldn’t belong to any church that wasn’t at least 2,000 years behind the times.”
The Left likes to charge that cultural conservatives are “obsessed with sex.” They fling this at anyone who hesitates to embrace their latest perversion. But they’re the ones who are obsessed.
As Mr. Sobran noted, of the seven deadly sins, “lust is only one, but this happens to be the one the modern world can’t stop thinking about. Nobody demands that the Church ‘change its outdated teachings against sloth.’”
The Left has been promoting “free sex” since the French Revolution. Citizens obsessing over their own appetites (more pot, anyone?) are less likely to notice the chains growing around them, courtesy of an ever-helpful state that wants to displace all other human institutions. If it takes killing more babies and corrupting more children with drag queen story hours, then bring it.
This is no longer about conservative versus liberal. In starkest terms, it is Jerusalem and Bethlehem versus Sodom and Gomorrah.
But we know Who will prevail. And it’s not too late to join the winning side.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. John 3:16-21

This battle is simply between the children of light and the Children of darkness, between the God of Creation and the god of SELF. We are equally capable of understanding that there is a God,,,,and we are NOT HIM. Those who choose to pursue the Creative life image of an Omnipotent, Omni-present, Omniscient, Infinite being cannot help but prevail over a finite, fallible, short lived, impotent human images of the great consumer himself who only prevail in the short term via deceptions that pervert God’s truths that set men free. Secular socialism is basically the worship of self, and abortion and homosexuality the worship of same, promoted through the power of immediate gratifications that only consume the people and things that surround their lives,,, unlike the people of creation who build in sacrifice and self-denial, prosperity enough for themselves and enough to be shared with others. The people of light always leave this world richer in power, property, personal integrity and love. The people of darkness leave nothing but debt, destruction, bad health and lost opportunity. It is easy to see which American political party of fallible human beings represent illumination or darkness. All will fall short but by what degree? The ones who speak truth enlighten and rise. Those who seize power and keep it through lies and deception just label themselves as the dark Devils they are, and always leave this world and governments a lessor place for having known them.
What’s most bizarre to me is the left’s reaction to the overturning of Roe. Their reaction reminds me a lot of the scenes in the “Exorcist” when the priests bring crosses to Reagan and sprinkle her with Holy Water. Their reaction is visceral and sheer terror. Doesn’t even one person on the left, and everyone on the right see that the 63 million babies aborted in the last 50 years make Hitler’s death camps look like a walk in the park, by comparison? We truly are in a supreme battle between good and pure, unadulterated, evil.
I wonder if an anti-abortion ad which morphed the commandants of the Nazi death camps into the faces of modern-day abortion providers, morphed abortion clinics into the buildings of the death camps, and morphed the images of little Jewish kids being taken to the showers, with their mothers, into images of aborted fetuses would drive home that point?
The decades of damage done will take decades to undo. Is there *anyone* up to that challenge, or is America already lost?
SINCE margret Sanger, the PERSON WHO FOUNDED planned murderhood, WAS iirc given an AWARD BY hitler, or something like that, ITS NO wonder, they don’t see this as being ‘worse’ than those death camps..
Also, if I’m not mistaken, Margaret Sanger was a huge proponent of eugenics, much of that aimed at black babies. Not at all unlike Hitler’s desire to create the “Arian Race”.
Margret Sanger,
Reuters Fact Check
“Sanger…”
She did, however, express a somewhat similar sentiment. As pointed out by PolitiFact and Snopes, Sanger used the term “weeds” in a 1923 New York Times article she authored…”
She wrote: “Birth Control is not contraception indiscriminately and thoughtlessly practiced. It means the release and cultivation of the better racial elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extirpation of defective stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.”

Is the democrat party really who the elite democrats say they are, for instance they claim to be the defenders of the black race, but they had, Robert C. Byrd who said of himself, ” I am a former kleagle of the KU-KLUX-KLAN…It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the union,…Byrd was Senate President pro-Tempore, 1989-…2007-2010…”
Then Democrat Hillary Clinton once said of Byrd, that she considered him as a Mentor of her’s.
Democrat President, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, 1963-69, once said, ” Those Negros, they’re getting pretty Uppity …” this quote taken from ” The democratic Parties two facesness of race relations. by the conservative Contributor- August 24TH. 2011
