Bit tired of people saying 'there are no votes in social conservatism or having Christian values inform your politics'. Not sure that that is necessarily true, but even if it is, I don't care. If the truth put me in a minority of one, the truth would be no less the truth

Establishment social libs of left and right sneer at any expression of soc con sentiment: 'I thought this was settled years ago', 'these people are so backwards'. They cannot even conceive of principled rejection of the cultural and social air that they breathe. Let them sneer

Their lazy liberal orthodoxy amounts to the philosophy of 'I am a selfish bastard who should be able to do whatever I want and damn the consequences for children or the poor'. They dress it up as principle, but that is what it is: licence in the garb of liberty

It isn't surprising that licentiousness and moral anarchy are popular in some quarters (tho not as popular as they think). Restraint and duty are hard. But don't pretend that your indifference and selfishness is some great moral crusade

Another thing: I thought that liberals were supposed to stand up for the right of people to hold unpopular minority views. Actually, they wish to crush and humiliate anyone who doesn't blindly accept their moral revolution. But I for one will die in a ditch to stop them

Because the next wave is coming. Commercial surrogacy. Designer babies. 'Assisted dying'. Trans self-ID. Late term abortion. Drug legalisation. They won't rest until they can completely eliminate or stupefy or dehumanise the dependent & the poor to make life easier for themselves

It is a complete barbaric attack on the entire Christian moral legacy of our civilization. It shares the ethic of the Victorian mill owner, the pagan Roman chucking babies to die on a rubbish heap, the slaveowner buying people's children to use up and wear out at their pleasure

Mercy & truth & love are on our side, not theirs. If their squalid Brave New World-style dystopia becomes a reality, we will see how much compassion really lies behind their #bekind rhetoric. Lies will always end up in some moral catastrophe if they become the basis of a society

So hold the bloody line and don't let these people convince you they have the moral high ground. 'Resist, steadfast in the faith'

Here endeth the sermon
