Guest Post by Pat Buchanan
Buttigieg declared his candidacy Sunday, and his bid ensures that America’s deepening moral divide will be front and center in 2020…
“(T)here is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so,” said Hamlet, who thereby raised some crucial questions:
Is moral truth subjective? Does it change with changing times and changing attitudes? Or is there a higher law, a permanent law, God’s law, immutable and eternal, to which man’s law should conform?
Are, for example, the Ten Commandments of the Old Testament, Christian teaching and natural law unchangeable and applicable to all men at all times? Or can some of the 10 be consigned to the dumpster of antiquated moral prohibitions?
This question has been brought straight into the presidential primaries by Pete Buttigieg, breakout star of the spring of 2019.
“Mayor Pete” is proudly gay and living happily with his husband.
He says God made him the way he is, and he is living the life God intended for him. Raising the same-sex marriage issue himself, the mayor defiantly taunted Mike Pence:
“Yes, Mr. Vice President … it has moved me closer to God. … That’s the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand: That if you have a problem with who I am, your quarrel is not with me. …Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.”
Buttigieg declared his candidacy Sunday, and his bid ensures that America’s deepening moral divide will be front and center in 2020.
Our culture wars will not be ending anytime soon.
This weekend, General Social Survey data revealed that Americans who profess to have “no religion,” 23.1%, now exceed Catholics, our largest religion with 23%, and Evangelicals at 22.5%. And the “nones” have grown by 266% since 1991.
As for the mainstream Protestant congregations, together, they are not half as numerous as those Americans who profess no religion.
Added to our racial and ethnic diversity, America is growing more diverse religiously, de-Christianizing with all deliberate speed.
We are becoming another people, and a post-Christian America appears to be our destiny well before the end of this century.
Consider what has changed already.
In the 19th century, blasphemy was a crime.
In the Roaring ’20s the “vices” of booze and gambling were outlawed. Now they are major sources of state revenue.
Divorce was a rarity. Now half of all marriages are dissolved.
After the sexual revolution of the ’60s, births out of wedlock rocketed to where 40 percent of all children are born without a father in the home, as are half of Hispanics and 70 percent of all black children.
Pornography, which used to bring a prison term, today dominates cable TV. Marijuana, once a social scourge, is the hot new product. And Sen. Kamala Harris wants prostitution legalized.
In the lifetime of many Americans, homosexuality and abortion were still scandalous crimes. They are now cherished constitutional rights.
Yet, Mayor Pete’s assertion — that God made him gay, and God intended that he live his life this way, and that this life is moral and good — is another milestone on the road to a new America.
For what Buttigieg is saying is that either God changes his moral law to conform to the changing behavior of mankind or that, for 2,000 years, Christian preaching and practice toward homosexuals has been bigoted, injurious and morally indefensible.
If Pete is right, since the time of Christ, Christians have ostracized and persecuted gays simply for being and behaving as God intended.
And if that is true, what is the defense of Christianity?
Already, among a good slice of America, especially the young, the West is guilty of centuries of racism, imperialism, colonialism, slavery, sexism, ethnic cleansing, religious persecution and cultural genocide against indigenous peoples.
Now, according to Mayor Pete’s logic, the West is also guilty of centuries of hateful homophobia toward people living as God made them and intended them to live.
What does this portend for 2020?
While Democrats defend Mayor Pete’s same-sex marriage as moral, they will also insist that women’s “reproductive rights” remain sacrosanct, and that unborn infants, 60 million of whom have been killed in the womb since Roe v. Wade in 1973, still have no rights at all, not even the right to life.
How does a nation so divided ever come together again?
How can a nation, many of whose elites are so ashamed of its history and heritage and deplorable other half — as “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic … and bigoted” — credibly claim to be a shining city on a hill or a light unto the nations?
America is today as powerful, prosperous and free as any nation the world has ever seen. And we have used that wealth and freedom to create a culture and a society many of our own people and much of the world now see as dissolute and decadent.
Post-Christian America, in many ways, is beginning to mirror what we were once taught that the pre-Christian Roman Empire looked like.
Indeed, if the mayor’s lifestyle is moral, Christianity got it wrong for 20 centuries.

Silly faggot, dicks are for chicks.
Real men laugh at this weirdo.
The guy supports elimination of the electoral college, gay marriage, and he’s a member of the contemporary Democratic Party. That pretty much says it all right there.
He’s a contradiction in terms and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near an administrative position governing normal people.
“How does a nation so divided ever come together again?”
It doesn’t.
The big question is how does this play out in reality, not if it will happen. I can’t see anyway that state boundries work as a dividing line. You have all kinds of rural people stuck in nearly every blue state. It’s basically big cities vs. towns. Even commie-Fornia has millions of non socialist in the rural areas.
Dems at this point in history seem to want to take power, and are quick to dehumanize and demean us. That certainly doesn’t bode well, given the history of what happens to those that are put in the box of the “unwashed other”. If the Dems get all 3 branches, its game over at this point. Mind you the country will implode even quicker, but perhaps not quick enough for a lot of boots on necks authoritarianism to hit hard first.
The nation isn’t that divided. Liberal views of these social issues are in the ascendancy. We who hold traditional views are aging and dying out. There are pockets where the young adhere to traditional views, but they are shrinking and the traditionalists know it prudent to bite their tongues. What remains of Christianity will increasingly be social justice warring, with perhaps a little veganism and the occasional hot yoga class mixed in.
“Post-Christian America, in many ways, is beginning to mirror what we were once taught that the pre-Christian Roman Empire looked like.”
sadly,we know how the story will end if we do not change course but we have neither the guts,discipline,or inclination to change the outcome–
I wish we were Rome. At least the Romans had togas to cover up the fat. We have yoga pants.
It’s time we give war a chance.
I am happily ignorant about gay sex. He calls his partner his husband. Does that mean he’s the wife? So it’s his ass into which the salami is inserted?
I don’t see this working politically. Of course I don’t see anything good coming from politics. But I have a hard time believing Muricans will vote for the wife in a gay relationship. We like our presidents to be forceful and manly (especially if they’re also lying, duplicitous shitheads). It seems to me that there’s still a smidgen of masculinity left that would suggest that the husband has the better chance. So this wife is manly as hell-except when getting poked up his ass?
I really, really don’t think it works for a wife-president in foreign affairs (pun intended) Can you see Vlad, uber-stud that he is, sitting across from mayor pete on a contentious arms control negotiation and thinking “Last night there was some dude invading his bung hole for an hour or two. Hold my beer.”
cc,
your 1st sentence describes me so i’ll never vote 4 a gay man–
In societies where homosexual “sex” is considered normal, like ancient Rome or Afghanistan today, the salami slinger is not considered “gay”, only the passive receiver. As far as I am concerned, it is a distinction without a difference.
And in India there is a tacit understanding that if someone squats to drop a deuce in the street, no one actually sees them.
The power of the human mind to deceive itself is almost without compare.
HaHa, back a few years ago the building I was working in had to put up “Do not stand on the toilet seats” signs on the stalls. Apparently, the Indians, uses to crapping in holes in the ground, would stand on the toilet seat, bend down and heave their Havana’s.
Lot of that going around lately HSF. (Squatting & Dropping)
As an aside,
I discovered a word today on another post.
Ventured to look it up, for definition.
It made me think of you.
And a few others, round these parts, who shall remain nameless, since they tend to be skimpy with such kudos.
The word was perspicacious, if not mistaken.
You are.
The same, about pavement pooping, is becoming true in L.A. and San Fransicko.
I once read a very convincing article that claimed lincoln was a homo. It gives me some satisfaction to imagine that he was cornholed on a regular basis, hopefully by someone with a pecker an elephant would envy.
Those “Log Cabin” Republicans; a real party crew.
I don’t care what consenting adults of the human species do behind closed doors. Leave animals and children alone and keep your doing to yourself. i don’t want to know and if someone insists on rubbing my face into their perversions, well they’d better be prepared to get an earful about what sick fucks they are. I don’t care about homosexuals but I really rankle when I’m called names because I refuse to accept or condone their sexual proclivities which they parade about in the open. I don’t want to see naked sraight people copulate, much less homosexuals. And yeah, porn either creeps me out or bores me.
Ugh, I didn’t need to see that…
I’m guilty. It’s the visual equivalent reaction to finger nails on a chalkboard.
Me too. Squeamish. Cringeworthy.
Had me uncomfortable, when, while watching Bohemian Rhapsody on an airplane, Freddie gets a big long wet one planted on him by the dude that screwed him.
Both figuratively and literally.
Other than that scene, it was a decent flick.
Despite my comment above about our devolution, at this point there’s still no goddamn way American men will vote to have four years of that shit being broadcast at us from the White House.
MIke Obama broke the mold on the First Lady institution but a Mr Buttgeek first lady?
The American equivalent of dropping a deuce in the street.
And if you want to see just how powerful the Internet Narrative creators are, search Buttigieg’s husband’s name.
They are also planning to ‘have a child’ together!
Buttplugged will be the first female president. Eat your heart out Hillary.
So you forgot Obama?
God that was.Awesome!
CCR ” (especially if they’re also lying, duplicitous shitheads).” Yuck! Any mention of 0bama is disgusting.

Pete is a convenient tool being used by the powers that be. One of the other clowns will get the nomination. Maybe Uncle Joe if he can quit screwing up……
“screwing up”………. ah-hahahaha
or screwing down….
The nation is being acclimated to degeneracy, much in the same way Hollywood went from producing sitcoms where married couples slept in separate beds to full blown pornography of same sex liaisons on prime time tv. Americans are being conditioned to accept degeneracy in any form. The West has fallen.
flash, visual media has turned USA into a nation of voyeurs. Porn was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made. I have repented & been forgiven, but I still have to fight off visuals that come to mind betimes. That’s my punishment for going where I ought not have. Oh well. Jesus is so merciful.

Here is the answer to Mayor Butt – you can flush all of that philosophy down the toilet. Homosexuality, like birth defects, criminality, cruelty, senseless deaths, etc., is part of the human condition. It is an affliction like many others. God, or something, “made” Mayor Butt a homo but nobody but Mayor Butt made him engage in a parody of sex with another man. Butt suffers, like all homosexuals and other perverts, from a mental illness. That is the bottom line. Whether it is due to a hormone imbalance, a chemical imbalace or a domineering mother and absent father matters not. The fact is, Mayor Butt, like any other man who prefers a hairy male behind to a woman, is, frankly, crazy. Maybe not crazy enough to be in a rubber room but too crazy to hold a position of grave public trust and responsibility.
Do I have compassion for Mayor Butt? Yes, the same as I have for anybody struggling with any affliction. I would feel more compassionate if he understood he had a problem and tried to deal with it. Of course, the homo lobby has quashed any attempt to find a treatment for this condition. They do not want to lose new recruits or admit that they are nuts.
I am afraid history’s verdict on queers is quite clear. Queers do queer things. Homosexual hysteria is real and its is a commonplace that homo murders are the most savage the police have to deal with. I do not want a queer doing a queer thing with the nuclear button.
Homosexuals, like anybody with a disability, deserve to be treated with respect and decency. I am not a queer-basher. That said, it is a vital goal of any civilized society to set forth as the ideal stable families, a man and a woman raising their children.
Perhaps relatively stable homosexuals can hold many positions in society but president of the United States is not one of them. Mayor Butt needs to go back to bargaining with the trash collector’s union.
Not just Homo. But one who is married and has a wedding ring. Basically, he is insulting. It’s the type of insult that this society needs to wake up. So I hope he goes far enough to get popular attention.
Very thoughtful post, SS.
When they were campaigning for gay marriage, we were told they “just want to live in peace with the same civil rights as heterosexual people had.” They would not bother our churches or force their beliefs in such a way as to tromp on others religious beliefs. Of course it was a lie. The whole movement is based in lies. They lie to themselves that it’s normal and natural and so they have to continue to lie to keep the charade going.
The people who should be ashamed of themselves are the medical community and the so called “mental health sector” in particular.
Common sense would tell you the human body is not made to function the way they use it. It destroys (I don’t want to be graphic) that “area” of the body to the point that many men have to undergo surgery to correct it. I will just leave it at that.
Couldn’t disagree more. Public shaming is the greatest weapon civilized society ever had. Bash him all the way back to the closet and perhaps save some weak, impressionable young person the turmoil of self-loathing and debauchery associated with this cancer on humanity.
This won’t be popular, but fornication & adultery among ‘straights’ is on the same list as Pete’s sex jive. Pete does get confused a bit. The ‘god’ he should be referring to is satan, the little g ‘god of this world’ system.
I feel sorry for poor ol Pete & all those who try to affirm that Elohim Himself made him or them ‘gay’. These sorts are going to be in a very sticky wicket situation when they try to tell Nature’s God “It was YOU who made me this way!” The devil is laughing at all of them.
I was a fornicator once. But never again. The ol devil also laughed at me then. I laugh at it now. When satan reminds me of my past, I chuckle & think of it’s future.

Getting feces on your dick is now the national pastime.
America has become 24/7 gay disco.

Great article Mr. B
Mayor Pete-y seems to be extremely confused about God, the bible, and his “role” as a male. Here are several passages that condemn homosexual behavior: Leviticus 18:22 and 20:131 Corinthians 6:9-11).Romans 1:18-32; 1 Timothy 1:8-11; and Jude, verse 7
I think the mayor may need to rethink who is controlling his life…….God or Satan.
The man is a sexual deviant. Look at all that stuff going on, a sick society that is falling apart.
Again and again, the English language is being hijacked for the progressive agenda. The deviants see all natural occurring behavior and events as now being normal. They are not. Natural and normal are very different. Many natural things are quite abnormal.
As if the ten (600+ really) commandments had anything whatsoever to do with Christianity. The OT law was given to Israel. They couldn’t keep it; no one can. The NT will supernaturally enable them to keep it. This fundamental lack of understanding (let’s call it religion) is the root cause of all the worlds problems.
Romans 7:12 KJB… “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.”
Galatians 3:21 KJB… “Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.”
Romans 3:20 KJB… “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Galatians 3:13 KJB… “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”
Romans 3:26 KJB… “To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.”
Romans 6:14-15 KJB… “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.”
Galatians 2:21 KJB… “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”
Homosexuality is against the naturally created order of things. Romans 1:18-32… I don’t know which is more dangerous, a queer in the White House or someone who thinks he can and should keep the commandments. Which is the more ignorant of Gods will for man?
I’d vote for Ron Paul if he were queer in a heartbeat over PB.
Ron Paul would not be Ron Paul the Truth Teller if he were a degenerate. Homosexuality was once classified a a mental illness and rightly so. I wouldn’t never support a deviant regardless the ideology the sick person professed. You’ll know them by their fruits.
P.S. The Vox and Milo thing I don’t get either. Milo the narcissistic is one sick hedonist.

“Ron Paul would not be Ron Paul the Truth Teller if he were a degenerate.”
I understand that. Was making an analogy.
Jesus came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it.
You’re right, and fulfill the law He did; the only One who could. For whom, is the specific question… Who was the law given to?
Pence has no problem with Butrig’s Creator. It is Buttrig who has the problem . God didn’t make Pete a homosexual . He did that all on his own . God gave us free will to either resist sin or imbibe our vilest urges. Pete chose sin over God …. and there’s a price for that too.
I believe it’s pronounced “buttgeek”.
He wants to be called “Butt-edge-edge”, I think I saw that on a wall in his campaign headquarters. Something like that.
An ass by any other name is still an ass.
. . .and, to think, in Sharia countries, they STILL throw them off of buildings.
…which just goes to show you that mohammedans aren’t all bad.
Why are we still talking about sex? If the latest polls are too believed, 60 years after the Sexual Revolution, young people, and older ones too, are having less sex than ever. Apparently, the “selfish gene” is more interested in playing video games, texting and watching “Game of Thrones” than it is in getting laid.
Don’t forget 2Tim 4:3
There IS a higher law and a higher judge. Break these laws at your own peril.
These butt pirates deep mouth kissing everywhere needs to stop. At this point President Camacho is starting to look good…….sad……very sad.
Stick your dick where you want, but keeps your hands off my money, my freedoms, my rights, and my property!!! That is how I evaluate every candidate. Race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, species, etc. has nothing to do with it. The fact that the anti-freedom crowd happens to always fall into the same categories should say more about them then my bias towards what is right.
Mayor Buttiplug?
How do you separate the men from the boys in San Francisco?
With a pry bar.
Buchanan is panicking for no reason. America will not elect a faggot. Period. A fag named Buttgig. Too funny. Be funnier if his first name was Dick.
God created the heavens and the earth. Shortly thereafter, fags appeared. This is a fact. I wish God would have put razor sharp pins in men’s assholes, activated whenever a dick approached the Hersey Highway. However, He did not … and that’s a shame … almost makes you think God doesn’t give a shit about butt fucking. Just a thought.
Stucky, this is an awful study BUT if you have the time and the stomach, check it out: Who is Cain’s Father?

nebo, Who cares? Irrelevant now.

Someone needs to ask the dude 3 questions.
Do you enjoy butt fucking and cocksucking, or just being butt fucked ?
Do you suck the partners cock after you have been butt fucked, or do you wait until he can do the same to you in a wonderful 69?
Are you willing to show us your positions and tonged skills so we can determine if you are really qualified to handle every cock in Washington?
Anderson Cooper wants to be the first person to ask Buttgeek the question you pose. Don Lemon is next. After him probably Ellen Degenerate.
Seriously…. and I mean really think about this for a moment: Isn’t it wierd that a male homosexual is running for U.S president with the word “Butt” in his last name? What were the odds?
And if he won, his hubby, the First Gentleman of the United States, would be Chasten Buttigieg.
In dimly lit rooms behind the eye of the pyramid, they are laughing hysterically. At us, of course.
