250 years ago this month, a woman in Boston sewed a flag that represents gays, straights, Christians, Jews, atheists, whites, blacks, slaves and others.
Yes. And look what homosexuality has done to the Catholic Church.
A few years ago I was on a business trip and had the opportunity and the time between gigs to drive through Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. I chose to avoid the interstates and take only state roads which took me through small towns by the dozens. In almost every town I passed at least one church which was flying a rainbow flag. And this was in April, not June.
I think that it was not just about going woke, but that the churches were trying whatever they could to get more bodies into the pews. Of course, it doesn’t work because homosexuality, and especially the celebration of it, is anathema to biblical teaching. So the churches can’t have it both ways and survive.
another problem is that the more women take over positions of authority in these churches the more leverage gays and lesbians have because women are much more sympathetic to that group than men are...on aggregate. it's almost irreversible now.
Yeah, but in the end, a scarcity of dollars and cents will catch up with them. Any church that depends for its operation on no more than 10% of the population -- and probably a lot less -- is skating on thin ice.
that's a good point. when the donks get back in charge (and i am sure they will) i'm also sure these groups will figure out a way to get taxpayer assets redistributed to them without us even knowing it.
I remember at least 2 in the 20th century that were sold to Muslim immigrants and now they are Mosques in upstate New York. Yes, they prayer 3 times a day.
“LGBT has gone from a darling to coyote ugly this year as corporations gnaw their legs to escape the trap.” Classic Don Surber! I haven’t stopped laughing since I read it!
Ditto to gnawing legs off and also I love me a redneck...I grew up in Ohio with lots of barefoot friends from Appalachia and I got through chemo reading Jeff Foxworthy's book and jokes. One of my favorite all time, sitting in the first row at Larry the Cable guy show and then there is Ron "You can't fix stupid" White. Now I am not sure they all are bonafide redneck/hillbillies but whatever they are you can bet they had the to formula to get rich and don't have a washing machine on the front porch or an old car up on see-ment blocks in the yard.
Ah, but a big part of their "Liberation" program was to recruit more willing bodies, especially since the lifestyle's mortality was catching up with them.
“Readers have to understand that Pride is not about gays or even trannies. The goal of LGBT and whatever other letters they may add is to disrupt society.”
Maybe adults seeing the hideously dressed and made up and very very hostile drag men targeting and soliciting children in libraries and schools pushed everyone else over the edge into reality. There’s no kindness involved in using children to disrupt families and society.
Sadly, the CC's were in German. Gouldman wrote it after the break-up of his relationship ("the end of all my dreams"). He wrote it for The Hollies after he saw a "no milk today" notice outside a friend's house one day. TMI?
During the 1960's many fags, worried about being court martialed if they were drafted, sought to enter the priesthood. The Catholic Church decided that celibate was celibate whether the person was straight or queer.
Unfortunately the perverts didn't give up their perversity and began molesting young boys.
At the time, few men were wanting to become priests, and the shortage was a concern.
That sickness is spreading to more churches.
Homosexuals experience a lot of rejection in their own minds brought on by the inner knowledge that what they are doing is wrong. They project that condemnation onto others and believe that people hate them for being homosexuals when it is their own conscience condemning them.
06/04/25: If all of us were this articulate, we'd sit here all day enjoying coherent, incisive commentary and get nothing else done. Which would be a laundry problem after a week of so...
Over the years I've known several gay guys, and they are Just All Right By Me. Contrary to another friend who said the LBGTQABCDEFG agenda was to shove it down our throats, that didn't seem to be the case.
I don't see it that way now. I could never understand the thousand little troublemaking agendas that seemed to plague this nation, but now I do: it's to bring down the last surviving democratic republic on the planet, and each little sub-agenda is doing its part, especially the alphabet people. A Canadian friend - Albertan, no less - says, "Oh, they HAVE to take down the United States, by any means possible. You are the Last Man Standing, and if they lose you they lose the world. Don't give in - you are the world's last hope." Damn....
By the way, speaking of beer - does anybody remember the two West Virginia beers? One was "Augustiner," the other "West Virginia Beer." (🎵 West Virginia, that'll win ya, West Virginia satisfies your thirst! 🎵) Long, long time ago...
The gays I know are aghast at what's going on with the tranny movement. 🎵) Long, long time ago..."While the King was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown."
The Nixon tape revealed that our values and culture were under attack even back then. By his comments, you know he understood history and the circumstances of previous civilizations and why they collapsed. Since history has stopped being taught in schools beginning around the time of Carter's Dept. of Education was formed, people are not learning from the mistakes of those that preceded them. History was replaced by Social Studies which should have been called "Socialist Studies". And here we are today.
If you are looking for Civil Rights Leaders to rename The Harvey Milk, I will recommend former Republican Congressman
Robert Smalls. Robert Smalls was born a slave in 1839. At age 14, His master hired him out to the owner of the steamship Planter in Charleston. In the early morning hours of May 13, 1862, Smalls (aged 22) freed himself, his crew, their families and 4 Confederate harbor defense cannons by commandeering the ship, and sailing it from the Confederate-controlled waters past Fort Sumter to the U.S. blockade that surrounded the harbor. After his escape Smalls worked as a civilian with the Navy until March 1863, when he was transferred to the Army. By his own account, Smalls was present at 17 major battles and engagements in the Civil War. He was later elected to the United States Congress as a Republican.
I have a copy of the official South Carolina Public School state history textbook adopted in 1940. It does not mention Robert Smalls.
Late in his life Democrats used lawfare to end his political career.
with all due respect to don surber i don't believe pride is beaten anymore than i believe woke, dei, blm, antifa or aoc is. as soon as trump leaves the white house all hell is going to break loose and i just don't see anyone on deck that seems capable of carrying the maga torch if you were to ask me.
You’re right of course - perversion and evil don’t give up. But I’m glad to see a cohort of family making people rejecting it on behalf of their children. Most people really do love children, even those of others. Every species loves its children and wants to protect them. If the DoEd is shut down by 2028 I’ll be a very happy person.
I remain hopeful that Vance/Rubio will continue to mature and strengthen for the next phase.
I hope you’re wrong and I do believe you’re wrong, God help us. The tide has turned & the gay/trans vibe is over I think. The trannies sank the whole effort bc in the end, you have to be insane to think men should be allowed in women’s sports. Insane.
God bless those 2 girls who were brave enough to refuse to share the podium with the boy who chose to compete in their track event! Besides that, it ticks me off since I am a Past Worthy Advisor in the Order of the Rainbow for Girls that the gays co-opted our rainbow!
I’m hoping the NSD*AR feels the tide turning in a big way this year. It’s taken almost two years since the news that they “voted” to accept amended birth certificates from transsexual men to reach maybe half of membership. Daughters are resigning left and right and chapters are voting to sign on and support rescinding the bylaw. Hoping the new EB finds the strength and courage to stop their misogynistic nonsense and go back to being non-political.
in a way it is misogynistic. men taking advantage of weak women. in other ways perhaps not so much. the idea that women and men are equal has been being sold for fifty years and it's complete bovine scatology. billions of women now believe that and it is hurting civilization and at some point may destroy it. so as to appear strong and independent women now have stopped making babies. where that leads is easy to comprehend if one takes a minute to digest the reality.
Now, if the GOP just stops infighting and stays the course, we just might have the majority for a very long time. Not betting money on it though. Our track record kinda sucks.
Missing the poll but always live the column. Thanks for continuing to be an investigative journalist opening our eyes. Clever snark makes it go down easier!
My family came from Philly, and in the summer, my aunt and uncle, who taught in the Philly school system ( the same school attended by Marian Anderson) would take in my brother and me for two weeks. My family lived in a suburb seven miles west of Camden. Besides visiting independence Hall and the Franklin Institute, my aunt took us to the Betsy Ross House on Arch Street. Betsy's sewing room was incredibly small as was her house. In NJ, we got a good education in American History. Of course, there re those who are now casting doubt on the story of Betsy Ross, saying it is a myth. That’s what they do, anything to tear down our history and bend it to their way of twisted thinking.
Having lived in the belly of the beast-so to speak-I can honestly say the lgbt+ focused community is not fun. I know many gay and lesbians that reject the flag and the community at large. Being disruptive, adversarial and agitators is not conducive to community or anyones well being. First and foremost I (we) am (are) an American. I bleed red, white and blue. No. Matter. What.
I think that "being disruptive, adversarial, and agitators" is making those people feel like they have a purpose, and a value. It is a very sad substitute for a genuine, constructive purpose, and for having value because God created you and profoundly loves you.
The fact that so many gays cling so strongly to the PRIDE/LGBT agenda, shows what a powerful, essential, innate desire it is in humans to HAVE a purpose and a value. But in the end, the PRIDE/LGBT theology will prove to have been a poor substitute for "the real thing"--a false god. Ultimately, only the living presence of the real God will satisfy these hungry hearts.
A beautiful Methodist church I can see from my front porch went woke. It is empty now. So sad.
Destroying the living church is on the same agenda as destroying the family, the schools, children's sports, the fabric of our communities.
The church is under attack because it pulls believers together for solidarity but the PsyOp can't have that.
What scares me is what will occupy the church buildings when the true teaching fall away.
Don’t worry Jesus is busy. There is a revival active in our world today!
Agreed, my GenZers are becoming very attuned to our religion.
So is my millennial.
lesbians?
Is that the same as Lebanese?
Not necessarily, but it has a nice alliteration. Maybe they could make it the slogan for the Lesbo Recruiting Office over there.
Satan is waiting down the block....
perhaps not. better empty than full of zombies.
Yes. And look what homosexuality has done to the Catholic Church.

So true. Jesus warned about casting stones, but he also warned against men lying down with men.
Is it sad or a sign of hope?
Definite HOPE! Have FAITH!
Yep- 'This is no time to go wobbly'
The glass is always half full.
They did it to themselves but they’re not alone - the Episcopals have basically become an apostate “church” now.
Add ELCA to the list of churches that are not Christian.
Definitely, and a near-dead example of what happens to apostates.
They could always turn it into a Bud Light brewery.
Good idea, since they've got the room.
06/04/25: May I ask, in what town?
Maybe not empty, gods still there, just waiting for the believers to return to the fold.
Apostasy has a price. Most people aren’t loud they just don’t do it. Haha. May apostasy kill its host…

And Cheering!!!! I don't care if you're gay just keep it to yourself. Live and let live.
I have always wondered why gay and lesbians should be more proud of their actions than heterosexuals. We can continue the species, they cannot.
Ditto to gnawing legs off and also I love me a redneck...I grew up in Ohio with lots of barefoot friends from Appalachia and I got through chemo reading Jeff Foxworthy's book and jokes.

The Nixon clip was fascinating. Our ancestors throughout history must be spinning in their graves.
I honestly don’t understand why the LGBTQEIEIO crowd think they have something to be proud of. Do what you want. I just don’t want to hear about it.
They won't be happy until they adopt the entire alphabet.
Find our Lord and Savior and leave debauchery alone…
I just don’t want to hear about it. Or see it.
Ah, but a big part of their "Liberation" program was to recruit more willing bodies, especially since the lifestyle's mortality was catching up with them.
they're sociopathic narcissists.
or see it.
Surberism: gayatollah 🤣🤣🤣
Stolen, as was "Qatarzans"
Hahaha…good one.

Harvey Milk hardest hit.
As was predicted 59 years ago by Herman's Hermits
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdCHlJoAP8I
Or as Bob Hope observed, way back in 1976: "Homosexuality is now legal in California. I think I should move before it becomes compulsory."
You never know what Old Guys have filed away in the attic.
Sadly, the CC's were in German. Gouldman wrote it after the break-up of his relationship ("the end of all my dreams"). He wrote it for The Hollies after he saw a "no milk today" notice outside a friend's house one day. TMI?
They were way ahead of us. Clairvoyant?
Who names a US navy ship after a pedophile??
Yup, there's your answer...
GOD help us
06/04/25: A Navy ship named after a pedophile. Amazing we haven't all been struck, fatally, by directed lightning! https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/hegseth-orders-navy-rename-ship-honoring-gay-rights/story?id=122460707 [and] https://www.frontpagemag.com/fact-check-harvey-milk-was-a-pedophile/
Good for Hegseth! But I kinda wish that I had not read that second link. I can’t think of a word evil enough to describe Milk.

I could listen to 'American Pie' all day long. Soon, 'this'll be the day that I die'.
Or, as they said at the beginning of every Star Trek episode, "Death. The final frontier."

Repentance is 1) having your eyes opened, 2) seeing you are heading toward destruction, & 3) walking towards God in the light of His Word

They were all infected by ideology and may the pushers of it be sidelined and marginalized like those who dissented against madness. Call them out.

I don't know -- the type of women who joined that outfit were the snooty ones that defended anything labeled "Progressive".
Yes, in hindsight, the tranny insanity may well have been the drop that made the LGB.ETC-bucket run over.
Then you don’t understand JD Vance. In many ways he is as or more fearless as Trump. He gets it.
I am hoping and praying that JD Vance becomes our next president and gets two terms.
You and I both. And if Rubio continues to perform like this, he should be the VP.
I totally agree. And I think JD Vance knows he's riding a rising wave, not a receding one.
Now, if the GOP just stops infighting and stays the course, we just might have the majority for a very long time. Not betting money on it though. Our track record kinda sucks.
The “anyone” we need is simply us.
of course that's true but a true army needs many generals and countless warriors. i don't see that. do you?
Yes, I actually do.

The first American Flag was sewn by Betsy Ross in Philadelphia. Her house is an historical site on Arch Street there.
You beat me to it...
I used to take the kids to Philly when they had off-from-school days; just was trying to pass onto them some of my historical nerdism...
My family came from Philly, and in the summer, my aunt and uncle, who taught in the Philly school system ( the same school attended by Marian Anderson) would take in my brother and me for two weeks.
