🚨 Virginia is “more red and motivated”

“Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.” — Milton Friedman

Many will not like reading this, but it's a fact. Having served 4 years on the Education Committee in the Virginia House of Delegates, I can tell you that there is no school district in the Commonwealth, no matter how rural or conservative, that Democrats are not trying to mandate indoctrination that runs contrary to your principles. Thats not hyperbolic, it's reality. They don't call it indoctrination, because they don't see it that way. They see it as correcting the mistakes of your parenting, which in their view is not "progressive or tolerant" enough. And since they don't have enough of their own kids to win elections, they need yours to "think correctly" about these things before they reach voting age. So in their view this is essential to "preserve our democracy." Make sense now? Now someone will read this and ask me "why didn't you fix it?" And the answer is simple...because we never had sufficient votes to get the legislation passed. It wasn't for lack of submitting bills and fighting for them, not a single Democrat would vote for any of it and as long as they controlled just one part of the legislative process they could prevent all of it, because thats how the system works. In my entire 10 years in the General Assembly there wasn't a single year where they didn't at least control one part of the process. But now nothing is preventing them...because they have the votes and they control the entire process.

Pray for me. My neice just got her license and is taking me for a drive. Before pulling put of the driveway she said "just gotta put it in rewind" 😳

Latter-day Saints aren’t Traditional Christians. They are Restorationist Christians. This is a distinct tradition that aims to bypass centuries of church councils and follow the Jesus found in the New Testament. Traditional Christianity is defined largely by church councils held hundreds of years after Christ walked the earth. These councils produced creeds, formal checklists of belief meant to draw hard boundaries around who Jesus is. The most famous, the Nicene Creed, decided that the Father and Son are the exact same "substance." Latter-day Saints see the creeds as additions made centuries after the apostles, ones that moved Christianity away from the Jesus described in the New Testament.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Ironically, while critics often claim the Latter-day Saint Jesus is somehow lesser, many scholars see it the other way. The late Catholic theologian Stephen Webb observed that the Book of Mormon is utterly obsessed with Jesus Christ. Not reverent. Not focused. Obsessed. He noted that while many modern traditional denominations have actually softened the divinity of Jesus, treating him more like a nice moral teacher, Latter-day Saints have gone in the opposite direction. Webb observed that their Jesus is maximalist. He is the Creator, the God of the Old Testament, and the literal Savior of the whole world. The Latter-day Saint Jesus isn't a diluted version of the Christian one. It isn't a "different Jesus" because he is less. It's a "different Jesus" because he is so central to the faith that it can be startling to outsiders.

It is time to appreciate the finer things in life It is time to become a man of “taste” Bring back the “Renaissance Man”
