For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. ---Ephesians 6:12


"The age of casual Catholicism is over; the age of heroic Catholicism has begun. We can no longer be Catholics by accident, but instead must be Catholics by CONVICTION." ---Fr. Terrence Henry TOR, Franciscan University of Steubenville

The World Is Changing...



I put off posting this for a month because it is just so depressing. This video is sort of like reading Mark Steyn's America Alone, only without the humor. And even with the humor, I found his book hard to pick up and read simply for all the bad news delivered.

The video seen above delivers several points rather bluntly, the one most notable being that if we sit on our hands and do nothing, the Muslims win. Europe and possibly Canada become theirs within a decade or two, followed by several others, most likely Russia. And since Western society has decided to stop breeding, decided to stop creating 2 parent families, and allowing abortion on demand, the Christian populations will diminish while the Muslim ones who are now filling the void, will become the dominant force in the world. And since the dominant force in the Muslim camp is fanatically violent and repressive, so will the world.

An interesting statistic for the US is that the influx of immigrants from Latin America are actually making our culture sustainable. Without them we would be shrinking like Europe. Opening our borders to anyone without documentation, however, would be suicidal. But increasing legal immigration, even in this recession, may prove to be what saves us in the end. Too late for Europe; so if you want to see that continent in all its splendor you had better hurry.

Another antidote is evangelicalism. But even this is like fighting the tide when the Main Stream Media continues to draw moral equivalence between Christianity and Islam. Nor does it help when they attack Jews in their own passive-aggressive manner by criticizing Israel for defending itself from rocket attacks. Yes, in their own stupidity the liberal MSM may wind up trading Christianity, which they consider to be narrow-minded and oppressive, for fanatical Islam with its enslavement of women, violent hatred for homosexuals, hatred for all freedom and liberty, and its penchant for female-genital-mutilation. What a country this could wind up being. No wonder people aren't breeding as much these days.

Please, don't get me started on this...

Best Mark Steyn To Date...

Welcome back, Mark. You have been sorely missed.

An excerpt:

[McCain vs Obama is not the choice many of us would have liked in an ideal world. But then it’s not an “ideal world”, and the belief that it can be made so is one of the things that separates those who think Obama will “heal the planet” and those of us who support McCain faute de mieux. I agree with Thomas Sowell that an Obama-Pelosi supermajority will mark what he calls “a point of no return”. It would not be, as some naysayers scoff, “Jimmy Carter’s second term”, but something far more transformative. The new president would front the fourth great wave of liberal annexation — the first being FDR’s New Deal, the second LBJ’s Great Society, and the third the incremental but remorseless cultural advance when Reagan conservatives began winning victories at the ballot box and liberals turned their attention to the other levers of the society, from grade school up. The terrorist educator William Ayers, Obama’s patron in Chicago, is an exemplar of the last model: forty years ago, he was in favor of blowing up public buildings; then he figured out it was easier to get inside and undermine them from within.]

Enjoy the rest of the article HERE at NRO. Another excellent read before voting.
