UPDATE:What does it mean to bear witness?

UPDATE: Expansion on the phrase “Hitler’s execution crews” has been added at the bottom of the post.

On page 338 of Eric Metaxas’ biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, he comments on Bonhoeffer’s observations of America when he was in New York City during the summer of 1939.

His friends had begged him to “get out of Germany while the getting was good” — they knew what was coming. He was absorbing the American scene and saw first hand the extent to which  “tolerance trumped truth.”  He was “fascinated” by it. (more…)

Fabian Socialist Incrementalism: Teaching Moral Relativism about “Constitutional Rights”

Parents of a fourth grade student at Cedar Hills Elementary school found a disturbing note in their child’s backpack:  A crayon crafted pledge that stated:

“I am willing to give up some of my constitution rights in order to be safer or more secure.”

ConstitutionalCrayon

The note was part of a “civics lesson” based on materials provided in part, by an outside group of local attorneys known as “Justice Teaching”.  https://www.justiceteaching.org/

The lesson plan, in part, directs the teacher to compel the children to:

“ask all students to place their sticky post it notes on the appropriate chart papers labelled for that right.  Then ask all students to be seated. This provides a visual of which rights in the First Amendment are most valued and least valued by the group. Reference how many of the votes each right received.”:

“Justice Teaching” Assignment

While the Justice Teaching exercise is designed to open up a dialog about the sanctity and interconnectedness of “all” Rights, it has the potential to be – and apparently is – exploited to promote the agenda that “some” Rights are expendable in the pursuit of collective safety and security.

Intended Progressive Consequences – No Abortion Facility Inspections Led To Gosnell’s House of Horrors….

(Via Business Insider) The clinic was not inspected from 1993 to 2010, when FBI agents finally raided the place. They found moaning women covered in blood-stained blankets and jars with severed fetus feet, according to the 281-page grand jury report.

The grand jury report that lays out allegations against Gosnell has an entire section called “How did this go on so long?” The simple answer is politics. (more…)

Cultural Marxism, Political Correctness, Progressives (progs), Manipulators, Blogging and such….

Cultural Marxism / Political Correctness – is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Patriotic Cowboy KidThe Conservative Tree House (aka. The Last Refuge)  is the diametric opposite to this definition.   The absence of agenda is, in essence, the similarity behind our association.

Any form of “Cultural Marxism” is antithetical to freedom, because it belies the entire concept of openness, truthfulness and honesty – especially brutal honesty.

Progs, and liberals, democrats, fabian-socialists, and to a lesser extent other political interests, but for the sake of exhaustive definition “progs”, are hell-bent on controlling the optical narrative of all things according to an agenda they define.

Not us.   That’s why this place is The Last Refuge….. an escape from that of previous definition. (more…)

Ideological Angst: MSNBC Struggles With “how” To Censor – Based on Ideological Belief of The Network and Hosts…..

Now – This really happened (obviously because it’s on tape), and yet “Progs” (that means you progressives) will look around saying: “wha, what… so what, it doesn’t mean anything”?

Here’s the issue being debated.    If black men, or Muslim men, commit violence against women, should the media:

a) ….report the violence because the victim is female, and this supports our agenda

OR

b) ….. censor the violence because the perp is a racial minority, and that does not support our agenda.

Fabian Socialist Indoctrination Principles – Collegiate 101 Edition [Professor Says use any methods to advance – even use the Black Panthers]

fabian-400-glassFabian Socialists = Modern Day Progressives. Modern Day Progressives are the Democrat Party. The Saul Alinsky approach is their preferred method of ideological advancement, and MSNBC is the primary professional media outlet for their messaging and optic systems.

Against that backdrop and understanding we will introduce specific examples of how the ideology of the Fabian Socialists is seeking to restructure the entire construct of the American value System. They use several simultaneous approaches.

Cue the audio visual demonstration: This one in the education system where the professor is actually engaging the students in using the BGI, through the Black Panthers, to advance the Fabian Socialist cause: (more…)

The Latest Fabian Approach – MSNBC Edition “Melissa Harris Perry”

fabian-400-glassFabian Socialists = Modern Day Progressives. Modern Day Progressives are the Democrat Party. The Saul Alinsky approach is their preferred method of ideological advancement, and MSNBC is the primary professional media outlet for their messaging and optic systems.

Last week MSNBC ran a commercial for their network featuring Melissa Harris Perry.  The commercial was discussed in multiple forums because the message being delivered was “All your children are belong to us”.    Perry is a Tulane University professor and MSNBC host.

What is more interesting is the follow up commercial, the latest version.   This too outlines the Fabian Doctrine;  Only this one is about socialist economic models, the ideology of the economy the modern progressive movement are pushing right now:

MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY: Americans will always want some level of inequality because it’s a representation of a meritocracy.  People who work hard and sacrifice and save their money and make major contributions: we think that they should earn a little more. And they should have more resources. And that’s fine.

But we also however have to have a floor under which nobody falls. And if you’re below that, especially if you’re a child and you’re below that, we are not going to accept that. You do have the right to health care, and to education, and to decent housing and to quality food at all times.

This is EXACTLY the descriptive of Socialism.   AND it’s also the reason why this approach has been tried, and tried again, and always fails. (more…)

Dems Cry S.O.S….And It’s Bill Clinton To The Rescue! (Monica Lewinsky Was Unavailable For Comment.)

Get ready for another lavish display of love and respect for womanhood tonight.  The party of free love, free birth control, and all-you-handle free abortion, will again be paying homage to American women by giving them their most vaunted serial womanizer, Bill Clinton, as tonight’s keynote speaker.  (What’s the matter….was Larry Flint busy?)

Clinton’s obviously been chosen to put a fresh face on the 90’s good vibes, then peer straight into the camera and coo….”Hey baby, stick with Obama and things can be just the way they used to be.”  Yeah, old Bill must have been psychic when a while back he told Ted Kennedy, “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”  Because, that’s exactly what Obama will be doing tonight.

Christiane Amanpour…We Hardly Knew Ye – (DLTDHYOTWO)

Amanpour seen in a rare photo before shaving.

America, our long national nightmare is over!  They didn’t listen to your calls, letters, or e-mails, but apparently they did have regard for the bottom line…cold hard cash.  I guess listening to an American-hating beeyotch wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea on a Sunday morning.  I always thought the job should have gone to Jake Tapper in the first place.  Where will she go…..why MSNBC of course! /s
(NYPost)…Christiane Amanpour may soon be giving up the anchor chair on ABC News’ “This Week.” Sources say network honchos are mulling who might replace the award-winning journalist, who has struggled in the ratings since she jumped from CNN to take the reins of the public affairs show in August 2010. “There are discussions of Amanpour’s role changing to that of a global affairs anchor,” a source said. Possible names to fill her seat include ABC’s Jonathan Karl, Terry Moran, Matthew Dowd and Jake Tapper.   (more…)
