Try that in a Small Town?

 It would appear that the radical progressive agenda has a new target this week- country music artist Jason Aldean.  Recently the music video for his song "try that in a small town" was launched and subsequently pulled from CMT; upon claims that it incited racial violence and racism.  Now unlike most people who have taken to social media and written articles about this, I actually took the time to LISTEN to the song that was performed.   Honestly, there isn't anything remotely objectionable to a person of common sense, apart from mild language that some might object to (i.e. derogatory word for human excrement).  

What I find objectionable is not this song itself or even the accompanying video that was made for it; but the reaction from the radical left-wing progressive fanatics who see racism in every corner and behind every door.  They claim that the song is racism because it glorifies standing against criminal violence; but the artist never once invokes race or anything that can be remotely considered racial stereotyping.  That simply has to be inferred.  Yes, the true racism is not a song which celebrates a small town mindset of protecting one's own community against violence; but rather it is in the minds of those who think that condemning crime must be racist because only certain racial groups commit crimes.  

We hold ourselves and heads up high, 

"Racism!" is our battle-cry;

We blame all  others until at last,

the Racist looks back from the looking glass.

Pope Proposes People Pass the Prescript!

  In a move that should come as little to no shock to many, the Arch-Heretic in white of Rome today announced that Roman Catholic priests would be permitted to bless same-sex couples- "provided they do not resemble marriages".   What the Lout has done is essentially what the United Methodist Bishops did, which caused the breaking up of the Methodist Union:  telling one group of people (heterosexual couples) that they must abide by the rules and regulations hereunto set forth in canon law and church doctrine; while telling another group of people (homosexual couples) that they don't have to follow those same rules, that they get a pass on it because "God loves them too".   The main issue at hand is not even whether same-sex couples/ marriage is morally right or wrong; but rather a man (or group of leaders) telling 2 groups of people to follow 2 diametrically opposed sets of rules, while claiming both are perfectly acceptable and equal.  NO.  If you want to be a c

The Commerce of Christ at Christmas?

Image
  In just under a month, Christians will gather in crowded, candlelit churches on Christmas Eve to celebrate the great feast of our Savior's birth.  Recently, some clergy friends of mine have directed me to an interesting little thing that the Episcopal Church's National Cathedral in DC has decided to do for Christmas Eve this year.   Are they going to bring in the homeless so that they have a warm place to sleep that night?  No. Are they going to actually preach the Christ whom they are obliged to by the book of common prayer?  No. Are they going to charge people to attend Christmas Eve Mass and receive Christ?  YES! You heard that correctly, the National Cathedral in Washington, DC; has decided to CHARGE people to attend a worship service on Christmas Eve.  Now some will defend this move as an attempt to control crowd levels or such; but that goes against the very essence of the Christian faith and the nature of cathedrals themselves.  The very reason why we build great churc

Anglicans in the Ambulatory!!!

Image
  This week, a number of Traditionalist Anglican clergy and their Bishop (of Fulham), are on retreat in Rome.  They were invited by the clergy in charge of St. John in Lateran to hold a mass in the "choir" of the cathedral, behind the main altar of the church.  What to many Christians might seem a point of fraternal generosity or a sign of mutual respect; has instead inflamed the passions of a number of Roman Catholic churchmen and laymen across the Christian world.    How dare those silly protestants hold their service in our church???  The claim that is referenced in defending such position, is the old argument that because Pope Leo XIII issued the Papal Bull Apostolicae Curae which claimed Anglican Orders as "utterly null and void"; that this means definitively that Anglican Apostolic succession is indeed null and void.  Unfortunately for my more conservative minded Roman Catholic friends, a Papal Bull is not the law of the church.  There have been many Papal Bul
