Called It!: GOP War Confirmed

|

So, I called it. Not too long ago I mentioned a little tid-bit about how I thought the Republican party was in the midst of a Civil War. Well, it looks like I’m not the only one seeing it. Jenny Beth Martin, leader of the Tea Party Patriots (wait, isn’t the Tea Party suppose to be only redneck men?), is calling it like it is. In this Newsmax article, Martin explains:

She accuses the GOP of failing to keep its pledge to reduce spending. “I can’t distinguish a difference between how Republicans are acting and how Democrats are acting when it comes to spending.”

Leaders of both parties, she says, are too focused on consolidating and maintaining their power rather than solving America’s problems.

Admittedly, the reasons are a little different, though the signs are still the same. The Establishment Republicans are running out the conservatives in a mad dash for power. I’m going to make another prediction: a viable third party will come out of this if the conservatives fail to reform the Republican party. Mark. My. Words. (and bookmark them too)

    The upside, and a true blessing in all of this, is that it’s operable, with a really high success rate. The downside is that it’s a major invasive surgery that involves removing a tumor on or near nerves and the brain responsible for vital functions. The risk of complications is high enough to make me uncomfortable. While the risk of death is “less than 1 percent”, actually being on the receiving end of that, feels really high. Especially, when, for five years, you’re reminded by the now dormant name of a friend on your friend’s list who died on an operating table due to complications.

  • An Old Testament Defense Against Polygamy

    The New Testament writers don’t introduce this as new — they reiterate what marriage was designed for from the beginning: a picture of Christ’s singular, covenantal love for His Church (Eph. 5:22-33), as this article will show. Polygamy doesn’t just violate a command. It corrupts that picture.

    This argument is essential for understanding and refuting the heresy of so-called “Christian” polygamists and polygynists who believe they are introducing a legitimate, alternate morality that is biblically defensible. It isn’t. It turns the theology of marriage on its head.

    Marriage, Murder, & Mahler

    The problem is not only offensive rhetoric. Mahler is advocating for the state to execute innocent people in God’s name. By invoking “Christian Nationalism”, Mahler is implicitly invoking God’s law. In doing so, Mahler attributes to God a law He hasn’t given, and in doing so profanes God’s name. God’s law exists to restrain evil, not to promote it; protect good, not abuse it (Rom 13:1-7).

  • Working With My Hands: A Man Who Is Autistic

    The neurodivergent community has created a sub-culture which praises, celebrates, and honors a lack of development and immaturity. Spend any amount of time in an active neurodivergent group and you’ll see varied discussions about someone’s “current hyperfixation” or listing of disabilities like scouting merit badges. Their identity has become the disability they argue isn’t a disability.

  • Autistic Identity

    Over the last year, I “self-identified” as autistic because, well, truth be told, autism explained my life history perfectly. All of the “just” excuses became neatly explained behind autism. In spite of this, and at great personal expense, I pushed for a formal diagnosis because I needed to know for sure.
