Every single one of our founding fathers would understand that sex-how-to books for children should be banned.
Yes or No?
I am generally a free-speech advocate, with that properly understood.
But there are certain things so evil that they should be banned--and are not protected under the First Amendment, nor under the laws of any sane country. Child pornography is one. 1/9

🧵 on future of conservatism and Ukraine. First, one can simultaneously recognize that Russia's invasion of Ukraine followed a total failure of diplomacy on the part of the West and that the responsibility lies with Russia.
It is agitprop for people like @McFaul to call those that sought negotiations and dialogue before the invasion "Putinists" (I wonder if he includes Zelensky, who also disagreed with many of the statements and actions of US before the invasion.)

All law is suffused with value judgements. The pretense of neutrality in the law is primarily used by a liberal order to punish those who disagree with that order, while allowing liberals to maintain the internal fiction that they are justified in meting out the punishment.
This is why liberals increasingly support punishing Catholic Churches who fire teachers who enter same sex "marriages," think Proud Boys should be thrown in jail, but Antifa get bail, and the EU does not understand why it should not punish Poland/Hungary for standing for family.

The fundamental reality is that we are a broken country. You can cry about it, you can decry it, but that is the reality. We have a cultural elite who hate everything over half of the country stands for. The two sides share no metaphysical common vision.
As Adams said our government "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." We are suffering through what happens when that fails. I am not saying that #Antifa or #BLM represent a majority.

Best of #Trump speech: "The violent mayhem we have seen in the streets of cities run by liberals, is the predictable result of years of extreme indoctrination and bias in education, journalism and other cultural institutions."
Best of #Trump Speech 2: "Against every law of society and nature, our children are taught in school to hate their own country—and to believe that the men and women who built it, were not heroes, but villains."

No one I am aware of is reporting on the fact that as of this morning it appears that over 320,000 businesses, non-profits and independent contractors have applied for the SBA COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan and advance of $10,000.00 1/6
How did I figure this out? I have helped a number of businesses, organizations, and contractors to apply and beginning at roughly 1:30 am Monday the application number listed on the confirmation page was 300030050. It appears that this only went online at midnight. 2/6

We should not be willingly accepting the State's power to shut down houses of worship as "non-essential." I'm not even a fan of churches willingly doing this on their own, but at least it's their decision. If we can shop with social distancing, we can also worship.
And quit with the "science says so." Science is not monolithic. Scientists still have different views on what to do in this crisis, and different countries are following different paths. Check out Sweden. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

1. Today I join my friends in #Hungary and around the world in commemorating the brave men and women who would not bow their heads to the false God of communism Oct. 23, 1956. An Italian anti-communist song remembering the Hungarian heroes. Lyrics follow.
2. Forward boys from Buda,
Forward boys from Pest,
Students, laborers, functionaries
The sun does not rise in the East.
We've been awake during the night
The night of a hundred months, maybe more
Dreaming of the glorious October's dawn,
The dawn of Hungarian youth.

1. No one's talking about the fact that the Kurdish forces that were our allies in N. Syria are largely a part of the Marxist-Leninist YPG-PKK. While there are good Kurd Christians in the middle of this, #Turkey has a very real security threat from these terrorists.
2. I was just in #Antakya, #Gaziantep, #Sanliurfa, and #Diyarbakir with my family in summer. Very few Americans drive through and visit these places. Roadblocks there because of terrorist attacks from PKK forces. Christians attacking @realDonaldTrump on this are making a mistake.
From the more things change, the more they stay the same file: Edmund Burke in a letter to Lord Rockingham, 1775: "All direction of public humour and opinion must originate in a few. Perhaps a good deal of humour and opinion must be owing to such direction." (more)
"Events supply materials; times furnish dispositions; but conduct alone can bring them to bear to a useful purpose. I never yet knew an instance of any general temper in the nation, that might not have been tolerably well traced to some particular persons."(more)

We are a fractured country because two completely incompatible views of the world are held by significant numbers of people. Those who believe, or at least respect historic Christianity, and those who don't. All other commitments are secondary to this primary division.
The 20th century alliance between traditional religious conservatives and free-market libertarians is falling apart because Wall Street libertarians and international corps have abandoned any pretense to respect Christians. Witness corporate support for same-sex "marriage."

Of the 31 marriage referenda the pollsters on average understated support for marriage as the union of a man and a woman by six percent--six percent. In a number of states it was understated by double digits. Never was the opposite true--let's be honest . . .
Even liberals know, ABC, CBS, NBC are completely biased against those of us who support traditional values. The fact that so many Americans continue to oppose same-sex marriage, even in biased polls, tells you that this issue is far from settled.
