In general, presidential proclamations are a cheap political gimmick. When the chief executive designates the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day that is a cost-free public relations stunt which shoves up approval ratings and provides feel-good vibes to a select group. No harm done… right? However, a presidential proclamation could be used to celebrate and encourage something which is not desirable. Under those circumstances it would seem that in a democracy the people should be ready to impose a political penalty on leadership which goes astray. We must stringently oppose politicians who make wrong-headed proclamations in order to cater to a deviant splinter group.
Since 1999 a presidential proclamation by William Clinton designated June, “Pride Month.” At the most superficial level, why would we want to celebrate one of the seven cardinal vices? Recollect that pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth are known as the seven deadly sins. These are behaviors which society would do well to discourage. If we have a “Pride Month,” then should we also have a “Gluttony Month” and a “Sloth Month?” Should not our leaders be cautious in deciding what behavior to encourage by proclamation?
When we look more closely at President Clinton’s 1999 proclamation we should be further dismayed. That presidential proclamation established June as gay and lesbian Pride Month. These two adjectives describing the Pride to be celebrated in June are synonymous with another undesirable type of conduct defined as the abomination of sodomy. If we take words at their plain meaning, without being mislead by euphemisms, the presidential proclamation of 1999 encouraged the sin of pride associated with the abominable homosexual act. This slap in the face of established morality came more than a decade before President Barak Hussein Obama declared the United States not to be a Christian country. Is there a trend here?
On May 31, 2024, President Joseph Biden issued a further presidential proclamation as follows: “I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.,… by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2024 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to recognize the achievements of the LGBTQI+ community,..” Significantly this adds additional deviant types of behavior for which our president encourages pride. We can extrapolate that the “+” signifies that America is to celebrate pedophile and necrophile pride, as well.
I reject President Biden’s proclamation and the similar unwarranted proclamations of his predecessors which encourage sin and celebrate abomination. The Constitution and the laws of the United States vested no authority in the chief executive to fly in the face of believing citizens and to disavow their Creator.
May I propose a Declaration in opposition to the proclamations of usurpers in Washington D.C.
“When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with their leader, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that we should declare the causes which impel us to separate ourselves. Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness under Divine guidance. When a long train of abuses and usurpations evinces a design to subjugate us under absolute despotism, it is our right, it is our duty, to throw off such leadership, and to provide new guardians for our future security.”
“If a martian landed in America and set out to determine the nation” official state religion, he would have to conclude it is liberalism, while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by law. Many Americans are outraged by liberal hostility to traditional religion. But as Ann Coulter reveals in this, her most explosive book yet, to focus solely on the Left’s attacks on our Judeo-Christian tradition is to miss a larger point: liberalism is a religion-a godless one. And it is now entrenched as the state religion of this county. Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion. In Godless, Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the “absolute moral authority” of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident).Then, of course, there’s the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted. But Coulter neatly reverses the pretense that liberals are rationalists guided by the ideals of free inquiry and the scientific method. She exposes the essential truth about Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: it is bogus science. Writing with a keen appreciation for genuine science, Coulter reveals that the so-called gaps in the theory of evolution are all there is–Darwinism is nothing but a gap. After 150 years of dedicated searching into the fossil record, evolution’s proponents have failed utterly to substantiate its claims. And a long line of supposed evidence, from the infamous Piltdown Man to the “evolving” peppered moths of England, has been exposed as hoaxes. Still, liberals treat those who question evolution as religious heretics and prohibit students from hearing about real science when it contradicts Darwinism. And these are the people who say they want to keep faith out of the classroom? Liberals’ absolute devotion to Darwinism, Coulter shows, has nothing to do with evolution’s scientific validity and everything to do with its refusal to admit the possibility of God as a guiding force. They will brook no challenges to the official religion. Fearlessly confronting the high priests of the Church of Liberalism and ringing with Coulter’s razor-sharp wit, Godless is the most important and riveting book yet from one of today’s most lively and impassioned conservative voices. “Liberals love to boast that they are not ‘religious,’ which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as ‘religion.'” –From Godless
