This is a very powerful message, especially with the images of Rome in the background. Thank you, Frank.

Thank you Frank. You are right. I still remember thinking, in the Eighties, how we were beginning to worship arena style sports, and I have been hoping for over 40 years that we wouldn't get to the point of enjoying gladiator fighting to the death, as in ancient Rome. 😔

nevertheless , in a democracy you have to make a choice so someone is always at least a little better than someone else. In this case I'm sticking with Trump because he is not a pervert twerp encouraging trans athletes , transvestite story hours, furry culture, and socialism. not to mention that Biden started the war in Ukraine with his pathetic disorganized and humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan and then stood by for three years while 1 million casualties slowly mounted up. Trump tries to be creative and find solution to problems no matter how crazy weird and unpopular his ideas are. A businessman like Trump survives by solving problems. A sleazy politician like Biden by riding whatever left wing current seems popular at the moment.

it is important to keep things in context. Yes Trump is a cruel extortionist but Biden was just plain worse. He started the war with his pathetic and cowardly withdrawal from Afghanistan and then did nothing for three years despite 1 million casualties.

How very sad that see the depth to which you have fallen. I attended your Chrismation. My heart breaks for you.

This has all the trappings of a artistic appeal to see power for what it is, turn away from it, and pursue righteousness in the light of truth. But by focusing on the current administration and implying that the light of truth would have graced a different administration makes it into a cheap appeal to sentimentality. The original Caesar was necessary to make an attempt to win back a Republican form of government for a Rome already firmly in the grip of decadent empire. We in America have been living in a lie for far too long now - what power can we possibly hope for to win for ourselves a truly representative republic and a country where cultures, families, and art can thrive? Anyone with a willing partner or two can establish family and community - if it is in your power to do this, do this. Do not hope or strive for the kind of power that can curb, check, or destroy global powers. These institutions are all controlled by demons. You become them and take their place when you oust the original offenders.

I’m so grateful to finally hear someone methodically connect the dots to the pro-life culture wars. I think this is a useful perspective. As an aside, I also appreciate your gentle delivery.

It’s what he really wants. And I wonder where that came from. But I’d hate to say he was that special - it’s also what he wants

Frank…

Guess they have to match that of an extremely influential media messiah.

One and the same.

Autonomy is the new marriage.

Self.

How could we have any hope for political gods?

Should we expect any measure of maturity from the elementary?

Just wait and see what they have lined up for the world next.

History talks about four corners…

Humanity is being corralled into four corners. The possibility exists that the world will be flat once again.

Like the funked up religions people have been conditioned and inoculated to not think at all.
