Thursday Pile of Prep

Mandeville, LA – Mike Church‘s daily Pile of Prep, Welcome to mikechurch.com’s Pile of Prep, all the materials used to prepare the Mike Church show, 2015 Edition. Campaign 2016 is in full swing and the Usual Suspects have reported for er… duty. Mrs. Clinton is conspicuous in that her campaign is based on the idea that the Leviathan government has only BEGUN to assist the American sheople of being re-created in her own image and… ideology. plus other [r]epublican stories used to perform the Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM Patriot channel 125.“What matters at this stage is the construction of local forms of community within which civility and the intellectual and moral life can be sustained through the new dark ages which are already upon us. And if the tradition of the virtues was able to survive the horrors of the last dark ages, we are not entirely without grounds for hope. This time however the barbarians are not waiting beyond the frontiers; they have already been governing us for quite some time. And it is our lack of consciousness of this that constitutes part of our predicament. We are waiting not for a Godot, but for another—doubtless very different—St. Benedict.” – Alasdair Macintyre (Life After Virtue)

If there is ONE THING the LGBTQCFI etc. crowd is NOT it is silent. Yet, these radical theists of the Church of illicit sex have now succeeded in “bullying” public schools nationwide to observe a “Day of Silence” where students are encouraged to not speak and remain in solidarity with their homosexual brethren who are allegedly forbidden to announce their sexual preferences. Where are the Clergy to support and lead the faithful in loving dismissal and counseling of this error?

Today’s Guest David Zuniga from America Again has released his book as a FREE pdf download “Fear The People”. The book promotes a positive program not yet employed by “political leaders”.

“The action plan to enforce our Constitution, Bring Congress Home, and restore American life.” – David Zuniga, Fear The People

What is to be done about our “communities” now having “communities”? Are there really THAT MANY “communities or is the division the result of the unspeakable? The unspeakable but certainly knowable that Eternity has been found an error. This is what drives the never-ending acquisition of “rights” which aren’t really “rights” so much as they are ignorance of licentiousness…taking license with previous moral prohibitions. The term “not in my lifetime” reflects this error, once repeated with certainty that things wouldn’t happen is now uttered in amazement that there is nothing that cannot.

What does the War Party have to say about the actions of our “allies” when those actions are OBSERVABLY violations of “human rights” (like waging civilian-aimed war in Yemen)?

WAR WAR WAR! (against drugs)  Takes on new meaning when you cross reference the charts that show the growth of the “war on Drugs” coincides with the growth of the “War on Terror”…is there a correlation?

Here’s how to withdraw your consent – secede – from the secular State by ignoring its diabolical actions and asserting the unquestioned Nature of Holy Matrimony. All Saints Church of Chicago IL has told the state of IL it will not accept or SIGN ANY civil marriage licenses presented and will ONLY perform Church approved marriage rites . In other words, finally, a religious  entity refuses to bow to the will of Mordor. Read the comment section to be entertained by the “conservative” statists who decry defying their Allah: American, Civil “government”.

The Miracle Amendment Strikes Again, this time discovering that the colors of the burned Confederate Battle Flag can be harvested to create the rainbow colors of the 14th Amendment and then apply this “reasoning” to “originalist” arguments in favor of constitutional “rights” to homosexual marriage. These arguments are becoming so farcical, folks, I begin to wonder when the elite lawyer/political class my deign to use Amendment 14 challenge the eternal law of gravity.

I wonder if THIS is one of those useless ideas from the 20th century that “Mericuh” needs to ditch when he becomes poobah and stop being “stuck in the past”: Obama has just announced that Cuba is no longer a “state sponsor of terrorism” (not that they every were). Sad for the Rubios and McCainiacs that they just can’t gin up enough angry, misguided people to be GLOBALLY angry. For now, ill-conceived anger directed at Iran, ISIS and Yemen will have to do.

Nothing Is Certain But Death and Taxes… and Compost. Bark humping, pagan weirdos propose to use human corpses as a new type of plant compost. I am not making this up. As if the throw away, non-agrarian culture we live in would find the time to bury Aunt Edna in the family tomato garden! “Composting makes people think of banana peels and coffee grounds,” Ms. [Katrina] Spade said. But “our bodies have nutrients. What if we could grow new life after we’ve died?”  Ummm, what if we EARNED new-ETERNAL life after we died?

The Purity of Environmental Thought League’s death has been widely exaggerated. Certain members of Congress, have been busy trying to extort compliance from university professors who have challenged the non-scientific  “findings” on “global warming”. Thomas Sewell calls it the “New Inquisition”, an apt title but I prefer the Old Sun/Rain God Human Sacrifice ritual”

Is there a place in the “bioethics community” for Christians? Most say “no” but that is yet another arrogant and thankless slap at the entity that invented the concept of “bioethics”, that’s right, the Catholic Church. Don’t worry though my secular friends, we are light years away from some M.D. saying “take three Haily Mary’s and call me in the morning!”

Rod Dreher of the American Conservative Magazine brings discussion of his book, How Danter Saved My life to the show. ”

And then, killing time in a Barnes & Noble one hot south Louisiana afternoon, I opened a copy of Dante’s Inferno, the first of his Divine Comedy trilogy, and read these words (the translation I cite in this essay is by Robert and Jean Hollander):

Midway in the journey of our life – I came to myself in a dark wood, – For the straight way was lost.

I read on in that first canto, or chapter, and stood with Dante the pilgrim as wild beasts—allegories of sin—cut off all routes out of the terrifying wood. Then, to the frightened Dante’s aid, comes the Roman poet Virgil:

‘It is another path that you must follow,’ – he answered, when he saw me weeping, – ‘if you would flee this wild and savage place.’

Marco Rubio throws tradition and his own faith under the bus, proclaiming his candidacy by denouncing the “old ideas” which must include those Truths that guided the erection of Western Civilization, Christendom and yes, the settling of this hemisphere as well. “Why is this happening in a country that for over two centuries has been defined by equality of opportunity? It’s because while our people and our economy are pushing the boundaries of the 21st century, too many of our leaders and their ideas are stuck in the 20th century.” What part of invading Iraq, destabilizing Libya and threatening to bomb Iran are 21st century ideas? Here’s another one showing the absurdity of this statement. What part of the language Rubio used is an “idea…from the twentieth century”?

Professor Brion McClanahan might do well to remind Marco Rubio that real radical thinking would of the kind employed by Thomas Jefferson when it came to the construction of the union and its lack of permanency

MBD: Do NOT underestimate the candidacy of Senator Marco Rubio

Teddie & The Cruzers: This country has not threatened enough, bombed enough or invaded enough under Obama & Clinton. From Raleigh News & Observer…

Cruz said the U.S. should combat ISIS with a robust air campaign and make the U.S. military a budget priority.

Mrs. Clinton claims that we all deserve pay raises, all deserve bigger houses and bigger more lucrative financial svaing bigger bowls of ice cream etc. The attempt to appear humble by not appearing on camera while claiming you singularly hold the key to unlocking the solutions to the gluttony listed above is insincere and typical of “Slick Hilly”. Watch the ad and note some “messaging”: There are two homosexual couples one female one male, there are twice as many women in the ad as men and there’s even a dog. There’s lots of things pulled out of boxes and unwrapped as though Mrs Clinton’s candidacy is gift to us all we should be thankful for.

On the other side of “the aisle” comes Marco Rubio who will announce his candidacy later today. As W. James Antle III points out, there is nothing in Rubio’s campaign that is original or even improved upon from the old boilerplate GOP “platform”.

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Kill, Kill, Kill becomes all too real in Yemen as the U.S. throws its official weight behind the Saudi Arabian bombing of the little country

Bet[r]ayed: In the remote instances when local government is still allowed to act unilaterally, we see the corruption of our epoch brought into focus where men seem incapable of rejecting unearned largesse. Witness the $41,000 contract  to provide landscaping for a roundabout near my own home.

If you think the Leviathan should not be playing real-estate agent for cattle ranchers out west and then try and stand up to them, you are causing bureaucrats to be afraid to execute their poorly conceived, extra-constitutional jobs. Read my essay debunking the “constitutional” grounds for the land-grab Congress has executed and defended since the turn of the twentieth century: Cliven Bundy Was Right.

What does the Roman Catholic Church ACTUALLY say about homosexuality? That’s a question that generates an answer most will be shocked to read. For example… “#2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.”

TIC: The Southern way of looking at things is as old as the South and worth taking another historical look at through the lenses of the writing of M.E. Bradford

“Catholic” students demand homosexual teacher be hired to teach THEM. What is the point of sending your child to a “Catholic School” if said Catholic School isn’t Catholic? The ego of boasting that they attend St ——‘s? Would you send your child to a culinary school that rejected cooking and instead taught only raw preparation and consumption? An auto mechanic school that rejected the mechanized age and taught husbandry and the art of being a farrier?

Consider the story of the Jewish jeweler who refused to sell a Christian couple a wedding band with a certain Old Testament verse inscribed on it. Their story asks the question” what if, we would have demanded OUR rights and demanded the jewelers rights must give way?

The “Darwin Loves Me” bumper sticker is the perfect rebuttal to Darwin and the illogical fallacy of “evolution”

What exactly DID Senator Rand Paul say today at his announcement that he is running for President? According to Daniel Larison, just enough to keep DeceptCONS on their toes over his vague foreign policy statements. This may actually be more crafty a ploy than Larison realizes. I can bear personal witness to the fact that Paul can emote or withhold what is needed at any time (my experience with him, or should I say lack of experience, at the 2012 GOP Convention in Tampa FL, now makes sense).

FLASHBACK: Why Rand Paul is different. Just ask NC’s Thom Tillis.

DeceptiCONNED II: The usual suspects rally their media pals to the “Ron Paul= Isolationist, Rand Paul is his son, ergo Rand Paul = Isolationist”.

Witness prominent conservatives and “theologians” incapable of relating Christ’s dogma on homosexuality, neighborliness and marriage. We are in bigger trouble than previously thought.The statement that said dogma and the issues it reigns over are “personal” is a rejection of that dogma and its Author. Here’s why: If I say I “personally do not prefer apples I prefer pears” I haven’t made an argument, I’ve stated my preference between two organic objects, neither which is sentient. If I say “I prefer the Church’s teaching on abortion but NOT Her teaching on marriage” I’ve used my free will as a sentient being, Man, to deny Christ. If Rod does the same but reverses the order “I prefer the Church’s teaching on Marriage but NOT her teaching on abortion” the result is the same. The Truth has been denied by these two men and this is the cause of today’s moral confusion. Either both dogmas are True i.e. Eternal and both men are in Apostasy OR neither are True meaning they never could have been True and there is/was no Christ (who told us they were True). Truth is eternal, if A. & B. were True in 31 A.D., 421 and 1521 it is True today. We must see that there are no “personal choices” in the Truth of these matters to be made, if there were, then 2000+ years of Catholics may as well have been worshipping the sun.

The Abbeville Institute reveals what I reveal in What Lincoln Killed EPISODE I – That the Northern states and her statesmen agitated for secession after the first session of the new Congress and didn’t drop the matter until the 1820’s

The perversions we call “rights”. Bakeries in CO now have “won” the “right” to deny baking wedding cakes for Christians that have “anti-gay” slogans on them. The laughable error of this illogic is at the heart of the preferable status given to homosexuals. Do Christians have “right” to state their doctrinal beliefs publicly or not? A discussion of this is not complete without affirming that perverting Holy Matrimony services has been the sinful folly of heterosexuals for over a half-century. We also learn that the owner of the bakery who refused to bake and decorate the Protestant Bible message cake is a “Catholic” that has not learned the proper use of and definition of the term “hate”.

BIG BROTHER is watching…more. If you have been paying attention to the late actions of MegaCorp America aka “big business”, you have  witnessed that MegaCorp has gotten cozy and in several cases partnered with Leviathan to advance its interests and power. Now thanks to the new GOP majority in the Senate, the hated CISPA bill has morphed to CISA and is set to pass. Senator Wyden has revealed that the bill is a “surveillance bill” under a different name. Note how the “cloud” environment is steadily becoming a regulated entity of the Federal Government.

Sean Kenney writing at Virginia’s most active political blog the Bearing drift nails the pseudo-reasoning behind the UVA-Rolling Stone debacle. “The truth is based on the entirety of facts, comprised of both a priori and a posteriori connections (causation and experience), that allow us to gain a fraction of understanding. We are not gods — we cannot understand a thing to its core, but we can within the realm of certainty aggregate enough facts and analysis to arrive at conclusions. Sometimes those conclusions are right. Sometimes they are horribly wrong.” Kenney’s argument recognizes the elements needed for a Truth vs Error analysis of the sad epoch. You see, when you feed a negative – UVA doesn’t protect co-eds from rape – into a syllogism AND then a negative that is FALSE there cannot BE ANY conclusion. No Truth can flow from the False. None. Not ever. Yet millions apparently “concluded” things about UVA and the Phi Kappa Psi Farternity. This is the brain rot at the center of our civilization. Put another way, those people did NOT make conclusions they made fallacies

If you are a writer and you proceed to write the next great op-ed cited by some TV or radio host as evidence of their being correct or incorrect you might write something about the tension between homosexuals and Christians like this piece from Conor Friedersdorf. Now let us proceed to approach the same subject as Friedersdorf does and let’s leave out the determination of which competing point of view is more “targeted” by the other and approach the subject from the OBJECTIVE viewpoint of what is the Truth of the matter? What Friedersdorf and others miss in nearly all these faux-discusssions is Eternity. What does Eternity’s pursuit say the actively gay candle-maker OR the single, heterosexual and promiscuous dance instructor should do about their sinful activities? Start a Facebook page and post barely legal (today) photos of the conquests that look like bad yearbook pages? No, STOP the sinful activity, repent with a sincere act of contrition and seek to avoid the sin until Holy Matrimony makes it beautiful in the eyes of God.

The GOP faithful have found their perfect candidate for President in 2016: The collapsible Mike Pence of Indiana

The divorce of sex from the responsibility to bring forth children is now complete as the Bunker Hill defeat of Indiana shows. Once, sex was directly linked to the children it produced today, the sinful opposite is promoted and now being legally enforced. “Warning Will Robinson, WARNING, danger approaching!”

Wal-Mart has now run the white and rainbow flags up its corporate flagpole too as the denial of Christ during Holy Week reaches fever, blasphemous pitch.

Prep Better! Read the 1896 act Resolution of the Senate & House regarding the importation of “Alien Friends” for the Tennessee Worlds Fair of 1896!

Patrick J Buchanan: The Iranians do not need a bomb because, thanks to U.S., the Arab world is moving their way in emerging majorities. This means that the lusted for war against the Iranians the DeceptiCON madmen are scheming will likely include more than just Iran as an “enemy”. Nice going, GOP, maybe if you guys keep working at it, you can align the entire hemisphere against us!?

ESSAY: The “Same Sex Marriage Crisis” is not entirely the fault of homosexual activists has some teeth to it including admonitions against further silence on “hook up culture” and the “emasculation of men”.

San Francisco Catholics (an oxymoron) express outrage when they discover the Catholic Schools they send their children to are actually Catholic and actually believe that the Church is supposed to teach IT’S Magisterium! This is followed by the City of San Francisco expressing its outrage in a resolution condemning the Arch Bishop’s “bigotry”. I wonder if anyone will bring up the stories of St John Fisher and St. Thomas More who gave their lives for the same Magisterium when Henry VIII told them to comply with him or die

*SATIRE* What is being done to stamp out the inequality gap in snow shoveling? Some reports put the female disadvantage at 93-7%, this is an outrage that must be addressed by Mrs. Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, and the rest of Gal Queda before young girls see their lives inexorably damaged by this discrimination

The permanent warfare state is the subject of a new book that shows just how profitable war has become for the MIC that has now expanded to include a mercenary class

The history of Chinese dynasties dates back 2600 years BEFORE Christ

Can the State Dept. deny a Visa to an American citizen’s foreign husband if someone in Leviathan thinks he is a “terrorist”? That’s the question a SCOTUS case must answer. My question is what does the Constitution say about this? It seems to me this is another example of the Constitution being incapable of regulating the difference between alien friends and enemies.

Facebook’s Mark Zuckerburg wants you to read some books with him, books you can “learn” from but there’s one huge problem. He wants you to learn all about NEW cultures NEW beliefs and NEW technologies when modern man hasn’t even bothered to “learn” the OLD beliefs, the OLD cultures and can barely function alongside CURRENT technologies without becoming the biggest promoters of Sloth since Dante. Wellllll Mr. “conservative” what’s YOUR solution? How about we start with Chesterton’s Orthodoxy and work our way backwards to Augustine’s Confessions, passing through Twain, Dickens, Shakespeare and Aquinas?

HEROIC: Judge Roy Moore of the Al Supreme Court rightly says that TWO SCOTUS justices must recuse themselves from the “gay marriage” case they are to hear because they have performed “marriage” ceremonies and are therefore biased

DeceptiCONNED: Israel Firsters (our 51st AND most important AND beloved state… they gave us the Constitution you know *sarcasm* ) bombard Rand Paul with “he’s faking it” because Paul wasn’t “clapping hard enough” during and after Bibi’s best Lincoln impersonation. The “it” being his undying, unwavering, jingoistic idolatry for Israel and all it does for our asparagus growers and honey farmers and…uh, you know, “freedoms”, and …blah blah blah. What is really going on here is the Israel Firster’s need to get rid of Paul before the Presidential debates start so the GOP war machine can put forward a unified – for WWIII with CIC Netanyahu – presence.  Michael Brendan Dougherty explains

Meanwhile, the Senate is refusing to perform its constitutional function of Advice and Consent WITH the President on treaties, in this case the talks with Iran over its nuclear program.

Today’s Guest Srdja Trifkovic demolishes Bibi Netanyahu’s “end of the world if Iran gets THE bomb”, latest Cassandra fit with history, common sense and cosmopolitanism.

The history of the “Fairness Doctrine” shows that even IF the FCC is successful in ignoring the courts and defying Congress there will always be room for the hope of  a future appeal succeeding
