A friend asked me to define woke/wokeness. Cultural Marxism, Neo-Marxism, Progressivism, social justice, anti-racism, and critical theory/intersectionality are related terms. Woke implies the person has undergone a conversion experience enlightening him to power dynamics, systemic racism and social injustices of Western civilization. The new convert experiences critical consciousness. He laments his whiteness and forsakes his…
Critical Issues Dividing the Parties and the Nation: The Family
The family is not a niche issue, a private lifestyle preference, or a sentimental talking point reserved for holidays and greeting cards. It is the most basic social institution in any civilization and the primary mechanism by which moral norms, economic stability, and social trust are transmitted from one generation to the next. When families…
Critical Issues Dividing the Parties and the Nation: USAID Funding
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) occupies a curious place in American public life. It is rarely discussed in everyday political conversation, seldom appears in campaign debates, and is often described in vague terms such as “foreign aid,” “humanitarian assistance,” or “development work.” Yet USAID controls tens of billions of taxpayer dollars, operates…
The Great Political Shape-Shift: How Progressivism Rewired the American Parties
Most Americans have heard the phrase “the parties switched.” Yet few can explain what that means, when it happened, or how it unfolded. The truth is more complex than the slogans of modern politics. The Democratic and Republican parties did not swap identities overnight; they evolved over nearly two centuries through a combination of moral…
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…
Understanding the American Voter Part One: 18 Key Categories That Shape Political Behavior and Voting
In modern American political discourse, few terms have become more misunderstood—and more misused—than identity politics. To some, it is the cynical reduction of complex individuals to racial checkboxes and sexual labels. To others, it is a rallying cry for representation, empowerment, or systemic reform. But at its core, identity politics simply refers to the recognition…
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…
Long March Through the Institutions Series: Infiltration of Entertainment and the Arts
The entertainment and arts world—once a place where timeless stories, beauty, and moral struggles shaped culture—has become a tool for social engineering. From the rise of anti-heroes to the aggressive promotion of sexual deviance and gender confusion, the industry has morphed into a propaganda machine for the progressive Left. This transformation wasn’t accidental; it was…
Long March Through the Institutions Series: Infiltration of Education
The institution of education, once devoted to the pursuit of truth and the development of virtue, has been hijacked by ideological revolutionaries. No longer merely a place to impart knowledge, the modern educational system—from K-12 to the university level—has become the chief mechanism for indoctrinating future generations with radical political worldviews. This ideological subversion, often…
Critical Theory/Intersectionality – the Ideological Web Behind “Progressivism” and The Democrat Party
In public debates today, words matter—and they matter a great deal. Political movements rise or fall not just based on their substance, but on how they are labeled. The term Progressive, widely used to describe left-wing political and cultural ideologies, carries with it a flattering connotation: that the movement is moving society forward, improving justice,…
How Critical Theory and Intersectionality Power the Democrat Coalition
In today’s America, if you express concerns about transgender ideology, question the normalization of homosexuality, or critique radical feminism, you’re likely to be labeled a bigot. That’s not because most Americans are actually intolerant or hateful. It’s because a sophisticated ideological framework—critical theory, operating through its political tool intersectionality—has redefined dissent as oppression. This redefinition…
“Lived Experience” as a Basis for Truth
Welcome to the kooky world of the woke mind. Are you ready to explore the depths of their delusions? This is a discussion on the phrase “lived experience”. Fasten your safety belt. When many on the political left invoke the term “lived experience,” they refer to the personal, subjective experiences of individuals—especially those from groups…
Understanding the Republican and Democratic National Party Platforms
In the lead-up to the 2024 U.S. elections, the Republican and Democratic parties articulated their visions for the nation’s future through their respective platforms. These documents not only outline policy positions but also reflect the underlying philosophies and worldviews that guide each party. This analysis aims to provide a comparative overview of both platforms, highlighting…
Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Progressive Christian
Francis Schaeffer (1912–1984) was a Christian theologian, philosopher, and Presbyterian pastor best known for his profound influence on evangelical apologetics in the latter half of the 20th century. Schaeffer’s apologetic method centered on the principle that Christianity is the only worldview that adequately accounts for reality—what he called “true truth.” He emphasized the internal consistency…
What Does “Woke” Really Mean?
In today’s political and cultural debates, few words spark more emotion—or confusion—than “woke.” It’s often used as an insult or rallying cry, but it’s rarely defined with any precision. Is it just about being sensitive to racism? Is it a catch-all term for political correctness? Or is it something deeper? This post seeks to define…
Public Education and the Rise of Ideological Indoctrination
Some of my friends and acquaintances in the public education system believe that my assessments of their colleagues are too pessimistic. Others quietly affirm what I’ve observed. This letter is for those who think I’ve been too critical. Let me begin with my own memories of school. I went through K–12 primarily in the 1970s…
Indiana House Bill HB1134 Requiring Curriculum Transparency in Public Schools should be considered
Indiana legislature is considering HB1134. HB1134 seeks to curb indoctrination of children into woke ideology, primarily through curriculum transparency and limiting classroom conversation on related topics. It’s no secret woke idealogues want to change our nation. Sadly, Biden’s administration supports their efforts. Wokeness is evolved Marxism. White, heterosexual, cisgender (non-transgender) Christian males are viewed as…
