Rocker Marilyn Manson, while certainly no role model for children, is, nonetheless, an intelligent chap. He at least calls it how he sees it. “This is the culture you’re raising your kids in,” he once warned of today’s godless, secularized America – one that he helped make so. “Don’t be surprised if it blows up in your face.” And blow up it will.

How can I watch with the contextual awareness of an historian the seemingly unstoppable advance of the progressives in their quest to re-build America in their own image without falling victim to the lure of apathy and the thrill of the games?

The world is a hard place. We’ve been made and formed with pain and trauma. We all have a story. We’ve all survived something or have been affected by someone who has. We all need relief. We all need comfort. We all need redemption. We all need JESUS!!!

The Rapid City Journal asked five questions of conservative independent candidate for U.S. Senate Gordon Howie. Here’s one of them: You say even the Republican in the race (Rounds) is not a “true conservative.” What makes you the one truly conservative candidate?

You just never know where you’re going to encounter a conservative, a freedom-lover, a believer in limited government, a person who cherishes Republican values…you know, a Gordon Howie for U.S. Senate supporter.

We’re told by progressives and many public educators that God, specifically the Judeo-Christian God of the Bible, has no place in the classroom. Not only, they say, is this a bad idea, but it’s actually breaking the law – a violation of students’ religious liberties. Really? Christianity in the classroom is a historical fact. How would schools be different, and student’s behavior improved if we returned to teaching the moral values found in scripture? Spit wads or bullets?

Economist Milton Friedman said “The economic race should not be arranged so everyone arrives at the finish line at the same time but so that everyone starts at the starting line at the same time.” Those on the left and the right have always contended whether economic outcomes for any given set of individuals is the business of government. But few, on the left or right, dispute that government should work to assure that every American starts the game under fair conditions.

Yes, It Is The Unthinkable! Why would the modern American Church stand down concerning the homosexual agenda? Why are politicians in Washington D.C. voting in favor of what God calls an abomination? “Conspiracy of Silence” is a documentary that exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies.

All Rachel Pepe wanted was to be treated like one of the girls. There is one major problem however. She’s a boy. Gender identity and sexual preference is a huge issue in America today. If you’re like me, your natural reaction may be, “TMI!”

It is indeed a shame that there is a “need” for a product like the new rape-prevention nail polish, and for a morally diseased culture such as ours, there is nothing to criticize about these young scientists’ ingenious invention. But, there will be no shifting of any rape culture by throwing money at more “rape culture awareness,” or telling young men that it’s wrong to rape, or holding colleges accountable, or not “blaming the victim.”
