Horton Hasn’t A Clue … With Apologies to Dr. Seuss

While all were cheering red, white, & blue
Horton was fuming because he well knew
That Nationalism was part of this patriot stew

And so Horton was in need of getting a clue

Horton thought Christian Nationalism was bad
He believed it a lalapalooza persnickety ick crawling crad
He angrily spit out the “heretic” charge and said he was mad
At white Christians who were seeking to see Jesus unclad

So he picked up his pen and he grabbed the nearest mic
He’d “Teach them a thing,” and “He’d give them a strike”
He’d undress and lance those who were beyond childlike
He’d put all of their heads on proverbial pikes

How dare these children to think that Jesus was a King?
Or that America should bow and kiss the king’s ring?
Must the Church be filled with whites who are right-wing?
Fools to not know that Jesus died to lose all nations and things

So with all of the force found in his large Marxist brain
Horton began to cogitate, and write and he began to explain
How Jesus was no longer interested in having a National reign
How with the disappearance of Israel that’d not happen again

Horton droned on about the Mosaic and the end of the law
And Horton added a flourish that “showed” everyone’s flaw
He bobbed and he weaved making arguments of straw
Something about how all who disagreed were sons of Esau

“When Christ died,” Horton said, “Nations now were cast out
The Church was the only nation that Christ now cared about
He brought to the fore his name and his R2K clout
And if anyone dared disagree with him, Horton would pout

And yet people like me continue to laugh and continue to boo
We continue to insist that Horton lives on planet doo-doo
We delight in mocking, and satire, and glances askew
While we shout to the world that “HORTON HASN’T A CLUE”

Butterfield on the Inescapability of Gods

“Historian Herbert Butterfield, in noting the different political spirit of Western man since the French Revolution and how he had once, long before 1789, responded to the intractable difficulties of human coexistence & social order, has remarked that men ‘make gods now, not out of wood and stone, which though a waste of time is a fairly innocent proceeding, but out of their abstract nouns, which are  the most treacherous and explosive things in the world.'”
M. E. Bradford

We are still the knuckle-dragging idolators that pagan man was. The only difference is that our idolatry is gnostic as seen in how we reify nouns turning them into gods, while the idolatry of the pagans was a mirror opposite animism finding the gods in all things material. The whole notion of progress as understood in a non-Christian plausibility structure is a myth. We simply are too close to our gods to see that they are just as fatuous and just as powerless as the gods that were made out of trees and iron. Our God sits in heaven and he laughs.

The abstract nouns Butterfield was talking about were nouns like “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity,” that when reified and so divinized become the kind of idols that kill scores of millions.

Mike Horton — “People Who Believe in Christian Nationalism are Heretics”

“The problem with Christian nationalism is not that some Christians are taking a biblical idea too seriously, but that they are confusing America with Israel under the old covenant. From a biblical perspective, it’s actually heretical. It confuses the law with the gospel.”

Heretic at West-Cal

 

Here is just one problem. If one asserts, as Horton does, that Nations can not be Christian … that it is impossible for a Nation to be Christian then the only other option left is that all Nations are non-Christian. By absenting Christianity from any possibility to so influence a nation that it might be considered “Christian,” is to ensure that Islam, Judaism, Secular Humanism, Shintoism, Confucianism, Taoism, and any other religion you might name to be the governing authority in the various nations. By eliminating Christianity as being the faith force of a nation Horton creates a vacuum that some other religion will finally fill.

Religion as the guiding force for every nation is an inescapable category. We know this because the laws of a nation always descend from and are reflective of some ultimate faith expression. Laws give a nation and its people an “oughtness.” That “oughtness” comes from somewhere and that somewhere is either demon fallen man as God (Legal Positivism) or comes from demon Allah as God (Sharia) or the Jewish demon God as God (Talmud), etc. etc. etc. So, inasmuch as laws are the residual manifestation of some religion in that much the laws of all nations reflect the religious commitment of the nation that crafts and adopts those laws and so declares that nations are hopelessly religious.

So when Heretic Horton says that it is impossible for a Nation to be Christian he is at the same time insisting that all nations must serve some other God or god concept besides the God of the Bible.

The man is at best an idiot and at worst a heretic. He has no business getting within 100 yards of a Seminary lectern or a Church pulpit. His Christianity is damnable stuff.

Man’s Creatureliness

Is 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
 
 
When Moses asked God His name (Exodus 3:13-14), Moses was asking God to define and limit Himself, but as God is He who is the one who defines and is defined by nothing or no one God responded to Moses by merely saying “I am who I am.” This answer communicated that God, being the Creator, could not be contained in the definitional categories of the creature.  
 
 
 
When man insists that he is like God inasmuch as he can’t be defined man is seeking to en-god himself and de-god God. We see this when man seeks to strip himself of all the definition which God has assigned to man. For example, when man insists that his gender, race, ethnicity, or genetics are irrelevant man has denied God’s definitional categories in favor of his own definitional categories and by doing so has resolved to be the Most High. 
 
 
 
Man’s desire is to be his own “I Am,” and when he reaches to be his own “I am” man destroys himself since for man to reach beyond his limits to be other than who he has been created to be is self-abnegating. It is akin to the goldfish finally achieving his goal to transcend his fishbowl. The success of such transcendence is the goldfish’s destruction.

What we learn from this is that man loses his manishness when he seeks to ascend to the most high. We also learn that God the creator will forever be beyond the creature’s ability to define or delimit God exhaustively.

Refreshing Honesty … Excerpt from Michael Swift’s Essay; Gay Revolutionary

You think we’re sinful
You fight against our rights
You say we all lead live you can’t respect
But you’re just frightened
You think that we’ll corrupt your kids
If our agenda goes unchecked
Funny, just this once, you’re correct

We’ll convert your children
Happens bit by bit
Quietly and subtlely
And you will barely notice it
You can keep them from disco
Warn about San Francisco
Make ’em wear pleated pants
We don’t care…
We’ll convert your children…
We’ll make them tolerant and fair

Just like you worriеd
They’ll change their group of friеnds
You won’t approve of where they go at night
(to protests)
Oh, and you’ll be disgusted
(so gross)
When they start finding things online
That you’ve kept far from their sight
(like information…)
Guess what?
You’ll still be alright!

We’ll convert your children
Reaching one and all
There’s really no escaping it
’cause even grandma likes Rupaul
And the world’s getting kinder
Gen Z’s gayer than Grindr
Learn to love
Learn to vogue
Face your fate!
We’ll convert your children
Someone’s gotta teach them not to hate

We’re coming for them
We’re coming for your children
We’re coming for them
We’re coming for them
We’re coming for your children
For your children

You’re children will care about
Fairness and justice for others
Your children will work to convert
All their sisters and brothers
Then, soon, we’re almost certain
You’re kids will start convertin’ you!

The gay agenda is coming home
The gay agenda is here!

But you don’t have to worry
’cause there’s nothing wrong with
Standing by our side
Get on board in a hurry
Because the world always needs
A bit more pride

But you don’t have to worry
’cause there’s nothing wrong with
Standing by our side
(The Gay Agenda)
Get on board in a hurry
Because the world always needs
A bit more pride
(The Gay Agenda)

Come on, try a little pride!

We’ll convert your children
Then we’ll turn to you
Giving up the fear inside
Is freeing like you never knew!

“We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.

Women, you cry for freedom. You say you are no longer satisfied with men; they make you unhappy. We, connoisseurs of the masculine face, the masculine physique, shall take your men from you then. We will amuse them; we will instruct them; we will embrace them when they weep.

Women, you say you wish to live with each other instead of with men. Then go and be with each other. We shall give your men pleasures they have never known because we are foremost men too, and only one man knows how to truly please another man; only one man can understand the depth and feeling, the mind and body of another man.

All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men.

All homosexuals must stand together as brothers; we must be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically and financially. We will triumph only when we present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy.

If you dare to cry faggot, fairy, queer, at us, we will stab you in your cowardly hearts and defile your dead, puny bodies.

We shall write poems of the love between men; we shall stage plays in which man openly caresses man; we shall make films about the love between heroic men which will replace the cheap, superficial, sentimental, insipid, juvenile, heterosexual infatuations presently dominating your cinema screens. We shall sculpt statues of beautiful young men, of bold athletes which will be placed in your parks, your squares, your plazas. The museums of the world will be filled only with paintings of graceful, naked lads.

Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable and de rigueur, and we will succeed because we are adept at setting styles. We will eliminate heterosexual liaisons through usage of the devices of wit and ridicule, devices which we are skilled in employing.

We will unmask the powerful homosexuals who masquerade as heterosexuals. You will be shocked and frightened when you find that your presidents and their sons, your industrialists, your senators, your mayors, your generals, your athletes, your film stars, your television personalities, your civic leaders, your priests are not the safe, familiar, bourgeois, heterosexual figures you assumed them to be. We are everywhere; we have infiltrated your ranks. Be careful when you speak of homosexuals because we are always among you; we may be sitting across the desk from you; we may be sleeping in the same bed with you.

There will be no compromises. We are not middle-class weaklings. Highly intelligent, we are the natural aristocrats of the human race, and steely-minded aristocrats never settle for less. Those who oppose us will be exiled.

We shall raise vast private armies, as Mishima did, to defeat you. We shall conquer the world because warriors inspired by and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible as were the ancient Greek soldiers.

The family unit-spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy, and violence–will be abolished. The family unit, which only dampens imagination and curbs free will, must be eliminated. Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory. They will be bonded together in a communal setting, under the control and instruction of homosexual savants.

All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men. We adhere to a cult of beauty, moral and esthetic. All that is ugly and vulgar and banal will be annihilated. Since we are alienated from middle-class heterosexual conventions, we are free to live our lives according to the dictates of the pure imagination. For us too much is not enough.

The exquisite society to emerge will be governed by an elite comprised of gay poets. One of the major requirements for a position of power in the new society of homoeroticism will be indulgence in the Greek passion. Any man contaminated with heterosexual lust will be automatically barred from a position of influence. All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men.

“We shall rewrite history, history filled and debased with your heterosexual lies and distortions. We shall portray the homosexuality of the great leaders and thinkers who have shaped the world. We will demonstrate that homosexuality and intelligence and imagination are inextricably linked, and that homosexuality is a requirement for true nobility, true beauty in a man.

“We shall be victorious because we are fueled with the ferocious bitterness of the oppressed who have been forced to play seemingly bit parts in your dumb, heterosexual shows throughout the ages. We too are capable of firing guns and manning the barricades of the ultimate revolution.

Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks.”
