We Really Could Use a Grievance Scorecard

In the good old days, when men were men, it was easy to tell the political ball players without a scorecard, at least from the socialist and communist point of view, thanks to economic Marxism.  You would always distinguish the good guys from the bad guys.  Tsarists versus communists?  The former, of course.  Bourgeois versus proletarians?  The latter take precedence.  Socialists vis-à-vis capitalists?  You’ve gotta be kidding to even ask about that.  Workers (pronounced woikas in Brooklyn) compared to corporations?  Fuggehdaboudit!  A similar “analysis” applies to union members and scabs.  Although, to be fair to Brer Commie, some of them actually opposed organized labor on the ground that this would just lengthen the stay of evil free enterprise.

Nowadays, under cultural Marxism, we are at sea, without a rudder, and this applies, amazingly, to all of us, snowflake wokists most certainly included.  Oh, don’t get me wrong: there are still some broad categories that are crystal-clear.  Blacks are to be preferred to whites.  (We even capitalize the former, not the latter, if we’re politically corerect.)  Affirmative action for the former?  You betcha.  Women, to be sure, take precedence over men.  LGBTQIA+ takes pride of place over all others.

Still, there are anomalies.  What about black men versus white women?  It would appear that there is a real contest going on here.  Perhaps the former outrank the latter in that they can launch the charge of “Karen,” and the latter have no similar verbal missile to utilize.  Recently, what with Kanye West and Kyrie Irving, Jewish sensibilities have taken precedence over at least the ones of these black people.  But wait a sec!  Jews are white, surely an inferior breed in the cultural Marxist sweepstakes.  Surely, the hierarchy should have been the other way around.

Upside Down Kingdom: Kanye West Is Preaching The Gospel, But Pope Francis Is Telling People Not To Evangelize – End Of The American Dream

Posted by M. C. on December 27, 2019

Pope Francis has certainly said a lot of controversial things over the years, but what he just told a group of Christian high school students is the most controversial of all.  I know that may be hard to believe, because some of the statements that Pope Francis has made in recent years have definitely been extremely bizarre.  For example, he has said that “Muslim terrorism does not exist”, he told a gay man that “God made you that way”, and he has referred to Christian fundamentalists as “a scourge”.  But what he has just said tops all of those previous statements.  According to Breitbart, Pope Francis told a group of high school students that he was visiting with that they should never try to convert others to Christianity…

Pope Francis told Christian high school students this weekend they should respect people of other faiths and not attempt to convert them to Christianity, insisting “we are not living in the times of the crusades.”

Asked by one of the students Friday how a Christian should treat people of other faiths or no faith, the pope said that “we are all the same, all children of God” and that true disciples of Jesus do not proselytize.

In fact, the Pope went on to say that if someone comes to you and is trying to share the gospel, that individual “is not a disciple of Jesus”

“But listen, the gospel is never, ever advanced through proselytism,” he continued. “If someone says he is a disciple of Jesus and comes to you with proselytism, he is not a disciple of Jesus. Proselytism is not the way; the Church does not grow by proselytism.”

Seriously?

And in case there were some students that were confused about what he had just said, Pope Francis made the exact same point one more time

Football teams proselytize, this can be done. Political parties, can be done there. But with faith there is no proselytism.

So there you have it.

According to Pope Francis, Christians are never supposed to try to convert anyone.

But this would seem to directly contradict the words of Jesus.  The following are just a few examples…

Posted by M. C. on May 21, 2018

Do you to look to Hollywood for your domestic and foreign policy concerns? Ah No? I don’t look to Washington either. I try to think for myself.

But as the wise Curly Howard said “I’m trying to think but nothing happens!

Kanye and Democrats

Posted by M. C. on May 16, 2018

 

…West’s support for Trump, along with his criticism of the “plantation” mentality of the Democratic Party, has been met with vicious backlash from the left…

…The Kanye problem for the Democratic Party is that if the party doesn’t keep blacks in line and it loses even 20 to 25 percent of the black vote, it can kiss any hope of winning any presidential and many congressional elections goodbye. Democrats may have already seen that threat. That’s why they support illegal immigration and voting rights for noncitizens. Immigrants from south of the border who are here illegally may be seen as either a replacement for or a guarantee against the disaster of losing the black vote.

Keeping blacks blind to the folly of unquestioned support for the Democratic Party by keeping blacks fearful, angry and resentful and painting the Republican Party as racist is vital. Democrats never want blacks to seriously ask questions about what the party has done for them. Here are some facts. Read the rest of this entry »
