Western culture is experiencing a quiet but powerful struggle over the meaning of words. Not long ago, terms like love, justice, freedom, compassion, and dignity carried Christian assumptions about truth, human nature, and moral responsibility. But today, many of these old, once-stable words have been redefined under the pressures of progressive ideology. The battle is…
The Left’s Hypocritical Colonization of the West
A college campus can sometimes feel like a confessional without forgiveness. A Western student rises during a seminar on world history, clutching a laptop containing cobalt from Congolese mines, to denounce “the evils of European colonization.” Around the table, heads nod in solemn agreement. No one dares to point out that the student’s own worldview—steeped…
The Left’s Use of the Words “Fascists”, “Nazis” and “Gestapo”
In today’s political climate, it’s become common for leftist activists to call conservatives “fascists”, “Nazis” and “Gestapo”. These words once described real, murderous regimes. Now, they’re casually thrown around as insults. Democrat politicians J.B. Pritzker, Tim Walz, Brandon Johnson, Kamala Harris, Stephen Lynch, Enrique Sanchez and General John Kelly , along with countless leftist protesters at…
Neo-Marxists and the Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs
Aesop told of a farmer who discovered that one of his geese laid a golden egg each morning. At first, he could hardly believe his fortune. Every day brought him a new treasure. But soon his greed outgrew his patience. He began to imagine how rich he would become if he could get all the…
The Hidden Language of the Woke in Public Schools
Walk into any public school today, and you may not find the words “Critical Race Theory” splashed across the curriculum. That’s deliberate. Most administrators know that parents would object. Instead, CRT—and its cousin ideologies rooted in Neo-Marxism—slip in under softer labels: “equity,” “anti-racism,” “restorative justice,” “social emotional learning.” The words sound positive, even harmless. Who…
Will the Real Fascists and Nazis Please Stand Up?
Few words in the modern political vocabulary carry the kind of instant moral weight as fascist and Nazi. They conjure up images of stormtroopers, concentration camps, and the totalitarian crush of human freedom. For that reason alone, they have become the favorite insults hurled by many Progressives, “woke” activists, and cultural Marxists against conservatives and…
When ‘Black Lives Matter’ Meets the Abortion Industry: The Moral Collapse of the Left
Introduction: The Apologist at the Clinic A Christian apologist stood outside a Chicagoland abortion clinic and noticed something strange. The clinic staff, who defended abortion as a “woman’s right,” was wearing apparel emblazoned with the slogan “Black Lives Matter.” The irony was striking: within those very walls, thousands of black infants had been aborted—disproportionately so.…
The Hidden Pipeline of Political Funding
If you ask most Americans whether their tax dollars should be spent advancing abortion access, promoting transgender surgeries for minors, or accelerating mass immigration, polling shows that large majorities either strongly oppose or hold significant reservations about such policies. Yet critics allege—and many prominent figures from the political, legal, and watchdog community suspect—that these same…
In Whose Image? Autonomy, Tyranny, and the Crisis of Rule in America
In the political and spiritual battles of our time, the question of who governs us is not merely political—it is theological. At its core lies a deeper question: Who has the right to define good and evil, right and wrong, truth and lie? For Christians, the answer is simple: God alone has that right, and…
A Christian Response: “Galatians 3:28 Erases Gender and Hierarchy”
It’s one of the most cited verses in “Progressive” Christianity—and one of the most misunderstood: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”—Galatians 3:28 (ESV) To many on the Left—both in secular circles and within theological liberalism—this…
A Christian Response: “God Made Me This Way”
One of the most emotionally compelling arguments offered by progressive Christians and LGBTQ advocates is this: God made me this way. I was born gay (or trans, or nonbinary), and since I am created in God’s image, my identity must be good. The force of this claim rests not in Scripture itself but in a…
A Christian Response: “Jesus Affirmed The Marginalized, Including LGBTQ+ People”
A growing number of progressive theologians and social commentators argue that Jesus would have supported the LGBTQ movement. Their rationale is based not on clear biblical teaching, but on selective storytelling: Jesus was a friend of tax collectors, prostitutes, and sinners. He loved the marginalized. He would have loved and affirmed LGBTQ people too. This…
A Christian Response: “Paul was a Man of his Time”
In recent years, a popular argument has gained traction among progressive theologians and LGBTQ advocates: Paul lived in a patriarchal, pre-scientific culture. His views on sexuality—especially homosexuality—reflected the norms of his time, not divine moral absolutes. We’ve evolved since then. Love is what matters. This argument sounds reasonable to many modern ears. After all, we…
A Christian Response: “Justice Demands Affirmation”
In recent decades, the biblical word justice has undergone a dramatic reinterpretation—particularly within progressive Christian circles and the wider cultural Left. The prophets, we’re told, were concerned with justice—therefore, if Christians today do not “affirm” LGBTQ identities and other so-called marginalized groups, they are violating the very heart of God’s call. The oft-quoted verses include:…
You Might Be Woke If….
“Woke” once meant being alert to injustice. Today, it describes a full-fledged ideology—a secular religion rooted in critical theory, radical subjectivism, and revolutionary politics. It teaches people to see all of life through the lens of oppression, privilege, and identity group conflict. The “woke worldview” believes that truth is socially constructed, moral norms are oppressive,…
A Christian Response: “Socialism is Biblical since the Early Church Shared Everything in Acts 2”
Few biblical passages are more frequently misused by modern progressives and Neo-Marxists than Acts 2:44–45: And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. To many on the political Left—both within the church and…
A Christian Response: “The Bible Condemns Abuse, Not Loving Same-Sex Relationships”
In recent years, a new approach has gained traction among progressive theologians and LGBTQ-affirming advocates. They argue that the biblical authors—especially the Apostle Paul—did not have in mind modern, committed same-sex relationships when they condemned homosexual acts. Instead, we are told, Scripture only opposes exploitative, violent, or abusive forms of homosexual behavior, such as pederasty,…
A Christian Response – “Sodom was about Inhospitality”
One of the more brazen reinterpretations offered by Progressive Christianity and LGBTQ-affirming theologians is the claim that the sin for which Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed had nothing to do with sexual immorality—particularly homosexuality—but rather was about hospitality. According to this view, Sodom’s wickedness was its arrogance, oppression of the poor, and refusal to welcome…
A Christian Response – “David and Jonathan were Gay Lovers”
One of the more curious claims advanced by progressive theologians and LGBTQ-affirming Christians is that the biblical friendship between David and Jonathan was actually a romantic or even sexual relationship. The reasoning? Their emotional closeness, covenantal loyalty, and David’s lament in 2 Samuel 1:26, where he says Jonathan’s love was “greater than the love of…
A Christian Response: “Jesus Never Mentioned Homosexuality”
The claim that “Jesus never mentioned homosexuality” is one of the most common—and most misleading—assertions made by those attempting to harmonize the LGBTQ movement with Christianity. It appears in Progressive pulpits, activist manifestos, and even church mission statements that promote “inclusion” over biblical truth. At face value, the claim sounds reasonable. After all, if Jesus…
Does Matthew 19 teach that Christ affirmed transgenderism?
A few weeks ago, I participated in a strong discussion about transgenderism and intersex conditions with a leftist Democrat in a barber shop. In recent years, debates about gender identity have made their way into nearly every aspect of cultural discourse, including the church. What once would have been considered fringe theology—if theology at all—is…
The Christian Duty to Confront Culture
Christians today are under enormous pressure to remain silent. In a society increasingly hostile to biblical values, many believers have adopted a posture of cultural disengagement. They retreat into private faith, assuming that if they simply preach the gospel and avoid confrontation, they will be faithful witnesses. But is that truly what God expects? Is…
Public Spaces Protection Orders and Christian Persecution in “Progressive” (woke) Britain
In recent years, the United Kingdom has witnessed an unsettling trend: the gradual encroachment of state power into the realm of individual liberty—particularly religious liberty. At the center of this shift stands a bureaucratic but powerful instrument: the Public Spaces Protection Order, or PSPO. While framed as a means of promoting public safety and curbing…
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi and the Counseling of Male Homosexuals
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi remains one of the most controversial figures in modern psychological discourse—not because he was hateful or coercive, but because he dared to ask whether same-sex attraction in men could be understood, and even redirected, through therapeutic means. At a time when culture insists that sexuality is fixed, identity-based, and beyond question, Nicolosi…
Antifa: The Antifascist Handbook by Mark Bray – A Blueprint for the Neo-Marxist Insurrection?
Ideas have consequences. History testifies that books change the world—not merely by spreading information, but by sowing seeds of ideology that germinate into action. From Marx’s Communist Manifesto to Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and from Paine’s Common Sense to Darwin’s Origin of Species, ideas birthed in the privacy of study have exploded into revolutions in the streets. In that tradition—but with far…
Refuting the Lie That Gender-Confused Children Will Commit Suicide Without “Transitioning”
It has become a common refrain in modern discourse: “Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son?” This emotionally charged question, repeated endlessly in media coverage, school board meetings, school counseling offices, and activist circles, implies that gender “transition” is a matter of life or death for children with gender dysphoria. The…
Unmasking the Truth: How BLM, Antifa, and the Radical Left Exploit Victimhood While Waging Violence
In recent years, America has witnessed an alarming trend: the increasing brazenness of far-left protest movements like Black Lives Matter (BLM), Antifa, and anti-ICE coalitions. These movements—often presented by the mainstream media as grassroots responses to injustice—have employed tactics that range from disruptive civil disobedience to calculated acts of violence. Simultaneously, they’ve operated behind masks,…
The Seven Sisters of Protestantism and the Descent into Progressive Christianity
The term “Seven Sisters of Protestantism” once referred to the dominant mainline Protestant denominations in the United States. These were the churches that sat at the center of American religious life for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, however, many of these institutions bear little resemblance to the historic Christianity they once…
When Ideology Becomes “Truth”: Exposing Leftist Propaganda Techniques
In every era, societies are shaped not only by what is true but by what is believed to be true. In our time, a concerning development has arisen: the increasing tendency of leftist movements to define “truth” not by objective facts or logical coherence, but by ideological conformity. Under this view, if a claim comports…
The Myth of Conservatives Suppressing “Baseline Studies” in Gender Ideology
In public debate today, few subjects provoke more confusion, emotion, and controversy than gender ideology. Supporters of transgender activism often claim that the science is “settled” and that those who question the legitimacy of “gender identity” are engaging in harmful denialism. One talking point that has grown more common is the claim that “baseline studies”…
Book Review: The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx
Few texts in modern history have generated more controversy—or inspired more movements—than The Communist Manifesto, penned by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848. At just under 25 pages in most English translations, this slim document is anything but minor in its impact. It has shaped revolutions, toppled monarchies, reconfigured political economies, and left an…
Book Review: The Devil and Karl Marx by Paul Kengor
There are few names in history that generate as much ideological fervor—or controversy—as Karl Marx. He is hailed as a liberator by some, vilified as a destroyer by others. For over a century, Marx’s ideas have catalyzed revolutions, toppled governments, and redefined economics and politics around the globe. But what kind of man was Karl…
Book Review: The Christian View of Man by J. Gresham Machen
J. Gresham Machen (1881–1937) stands as one of the most courageous and intellectually formidable defenders of orthodox Christianity in the modern era. A New Testament scholar, Presbyterian theologian, and cultural apologist, Machen’s impact stretched far beyond the ivory towers of academia. His career was marked by a deep commitment to truth, clarity in public witness,…
Book Review: Christian Manifesto by Francis Schaeffer
Introduction and Authorial Context The year was 1981. Ronald Reagan had just taken office. Roe v. Wade had been law for less than a decade. The Moral Majority had captured the imagination of a growing number of evangelical voters. But in the midst of this awakening, Francis Schaeffer didn’t issue a pep rally speech. He…
Book Review: It’s Not Like Being Black: How Sexual Activists Hijacked the Civil Rights Movement by Voddie Baucham
We live in an age where categories are rapidly collapsing. Male and female are considered fluid. Morality is redefined as preference. And now, perhaps most provocatively, sexual behavior is being framed as an issue of civil rights. According to many in modern progressive movements, to identify as LGBTQ+ is not only to express a private…
Book Review: The Toxic War on Masculinity by Nancy Pearcey
What does it mean to be a man? This is no longer a question confined to self-help books or locker room discussions—it is one of the most hotly contested cultural battlegrounds in Western society. Are men naturally aggressive and domineering, or sacrificial and servant-hearted? Is masculinity inherently toxic, or is there a deeper design behind…
Book Review: Woke Antisemitism by David Bernstein
Antisemitism, often dubbed “the world’s oldest hatred,” has shown a terrifying ability to adapt to new cultural and political climates. Whether through medieval church decrees, 20th-century fascism, or radical Islamist rhetoric, antisemitism finds expression in whichever language the culture speaks. In the 21st century, particularly in elite Western institutions and academic circles, that language is…
Using Verbal Judo to Defeat Semantic Warfare of the Left
We are in a war—though not of bullets and bombs, but of definitions and narratives. It is a war in which meanings shift like sand, where accusations are made not based on what you do, but what you are called. This is the age of semantic warfare, and it is one of the most powerful…
“Jim Crow” and Semantic Warfare of the Left
What is “Jim Crow” and why do leftist Democrats constantly use this phrase in semantic warfare? The phrase Jim Crow evokes one of the darkest and most oppressive chapters in American history. It refers not to a single law or policy but to a broad and pervasive system of legalized segregation, discrimination, and racial humiliation…
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Randi Weingarten, the Democrat Party and the Battle for the American Mind
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) is one of the most powerful labor unions in the United States, boasting more than 1.7 million members. It is best known as the national voice for public school teachers, but its influence reaches far beyond collective bargaining for salaries or classroom sizes. Under the leadership of Randi Weingarten…
The National Education Association (NEA), Rebecca Pringle, the Democrat Party, and the Battle for the American Mind
When Americans think about education, they often picture classrooms filled with curious young minds, teachers inspiring students, and the promise of a better future forged through learning. But behind the scenes of lesson plans and standardized tests lies a vast and powerful organization that wields enormous influence over what children are taught and how they…
Three Categories of Marxist Influenced Nations
In recent decades, many people fleeing failed or authoritarian regimes have arrived in the United States from nations shaped by Marxist, Neo-Marxist, or Socialist-Influenced ideologies. Unfortunately, these emigrants, many of them industrious, intelligent individuals, have found themselves in our nation, which is under attack by the same Marxist-influenced ideologies. While terms like “socialism” are often…
Echoes of the Serpent: Gnosticism and Neo-Marxism (wokeness)
One of the most persistent spiritual errors in history is not atheism, but Gnosticism. It is not a single religion but a worldview—a deep structure of belief—that reappears across centuries in different forms. From ancient heretical sects to modern self-help philosophies and identity-based ideologies, Gnosticism survives by adapting itself to its cultural host. At its…
Defending Manhood—the Truth about the Woke “Toxic Masculinity” Smear
In today’s cultural discourse, few terms are wielded with as much venom and imprecision as “toxic masculinity.” Popularized by progressive academics and amplified by corporate media, the phrase has come to represent everything wrong with traditional manhood—assertiveness, strength, leadership, competitiveness, and even stoicism. The assumption is clear: masculinity is a problem that must be fixed.…
The Biblical Rejection of Gay Marriage and Homosexuality
On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a narrow 5–4 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, declaring that same-sex couples possess a constitutional right to marry under the 14th Amendment. This watershed moment in American legal and cultural history did not arise from democratic consensus, moral clarity, or faithful jurisprudence. It…
Senator Joseph McCarthy – Vindicated
On a frosty February night in 1950, freshman Senator Joseph R. McCarthy told a Republican audience in Wheeling, West Virginia, that he held “a list of 205 Communists” working in the State Department. Reporters pounced, critics scoffed, and the phrase McCarthyism soon became shorthand for reckless accusation. Yet the deeper question never vanished: Was McCarthy’s…
What is Toxic Empathy, and How Does it Relate to Wokeness and Gender Ideology?
In an age where feelings are often elevated above facts, and emotional affirmation is considered a moral imperative, the concept of toxic empathy offers a necessary warning. Coined and explored by Christian thinkers like Joe Rigney, toxic empathy describes a form of emotional identification that loses its moral bearings. It is not empathy itself that…
Saving Nine – The Left’s Attempt to Undermine the Supreme Court
Back in high-school civics we all learned that the federal government resembles a three-legged stool: Congress (the legislative branch) writes the laws, the President (executive branch) carries them out, and the Supreme Court (judicial branch) interprets what those laws mean when real-world disputes arise. Each leg checks and balances the others: Congress can override a…
The Deception of “Reproductive Justice” – Unmasking the Neo-Marxist War on the Unborn
In the modern war of words, few phrases sound as morally upright—and as morally twisted—as the left’s term “reproductive justice.” It rings with the rhythm of civil rights and human dignity. It evokes images of women rising from oppression, families thriving in equality, and freedom from tyrannical control. But don’t be fooled. This phrase is…
Independence Day (July 4) and the Culture War
The Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, is one of the most cherished and patriotic holidays in the United States. It commemorates July 4, 1776, the date on which the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence, marking the American colonies’ official break from British rule. The holiday celebrates the birth of…
