I told you demonrats that the pushback will be hell...

The SC's ruling on abortion this summer and what just happened in Italy is just the start.

It's good to see elections in Italy aren't as rigged as the USA.

Read it and weep dems...

Quote:
MELONI: Why is the family an enemy? Why is the family so frightening? There is a single answer to all these questions. Because it defines us. Because it is our identity. Because everything that defines us is now an enemy for those who like us to no longer have an identity, and to simply be perfect consumer slaves. Chesterton wrote, more than a century ago…let’s see if I can find it… "Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in the summer. That time has arrived. We are ready. Thank you

So that's the person who is being described all over American television, including on channels they should know better as "far right." That's far right, really? Because she acknowledges that American families are under attack. Of course, they are. You think it's accidental? No, and she explains why and it's simple. If you want to establish totalitarian control over a country, of course you have to destroy the family first, because nobody with deep family loyalty, the one thing every person should have, no one who has that will ever pledge absolute obedience to a politician. Why would you?

So, if you want absolute obedience, you have to sever family ties and that's why state schools brainwash your children with values that you despise and then instruct your children to turn you in as a thought criminal if you object. That's happening. It's not your imagination and it's happening for a reason. Wokeness is not just a political ideology. It's not just something annoying that emerged on college campuses that we can ignore. It's a state religion that supplants actual religion, which is also being destroyed. There's a reason the strip bars and the liquor stores and the weed dispensary stayed open under COVID, but the churches didn't.

If you can't draw the connection between those dots, you're missing it, but Meloni didn't miss it. She understands it perfectly. Watch.


MELONI: Only a few months ago, European Union bureaucrats brought a document hundreds of pages long, telling us that in order to be inclusive, we had to exclude all references to Christmas. Jesus, Mary and all Christian names were to be removed from all official communication. Will we surrender in front of this? No, we will not. We will fight it. We will find it standing tall.

So, they hate your family, they hate your religion, and you don't actually have to put up with it because it's a democracy, and you're supposed to be in charge, you being the population. That's a radical message? God, family, country. That's not radical. It's hard to imagine a more wholesome message, a more pro-human platform. Fascists don't believe in God because God is a rival to their power.

Good luck with that.

Religion is dying a slow, steady death.

The left wing's media response to Meloni's election win in Italy is so predictable. This is their new mantra, people who want freedom, safe streets, and tend to believe in God are dangerous. Pathetic.

But it's not dying a natural death, it is being killed.

i disagree with everyone here. i see more and more people going to churches all the time and more than once a week, and its mostly younger people.

there are stunning results in politics as well these days. in the Rio Grande they elected a gal that migrated here from Mexico. her whole message is the same as the Italian woman, GOD, FAMILY and COUNTRY.

it seems to me that is a winning argument for the time being until some ugly war pops up

You couldn't be more wrong! While the "civilized-industrialized" West has become more corrupt and depraved over the last century or so, the irrefutable fact is that Christianity is growing leaps and bounds in third world countries. And this is not surprising, as Paul wrote:

1 Cor 1:26-30
26 For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 27 but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, 28 and the base things of the world and the despised, God has chosen , the things that are not, that He might nullify the things that are, 29 that no man should boast before God.
NASB

You see...the "wise, the mighty and noble" of the West, God has passed over -- at least for now and has chosen the "foolish, the weak, the base and the the despised" things of downtrodden third world countries.

This is a note I got from my cousin last night. He left the US to live in Italy a number of years back after he met a woman from there and got married. I asked what he thought of the election.


Quote:
Cautiously optimistic. In Italy the population and the political spectrum in general is different than ours. When they refer to her as extreme right, for us that means center right on some things and center left on others. So she's about as much of a centrist as you can get in Italy right now from an American point of view. Of course in the world today, you're either far left or you're a fascist, so the world is making sure she's painted as a want-to-be-dictator. The whole thing feels very familiar.

I’m ambivalent about Happy Holidays vs Merry Christmas. You do you. I’m not offended and I don’t feel excluded if I see a sign wishing everyone a Happy Hanukkah. I just silently say thank you and move on.

I am much more pro family than Georgia Meloni. I am for the family if it has a mom and dad, or two dads or two moms or a single mom or a single dad, or if the children are gay or straight, transgender or any variant.

I am and always have been a practicing Roman Catholic but I honor and respect all religions. But not the perversions of those religions we have seen lately. Yeah, I’m talking to you Franklin Graham and to you Boxcar.

Notably secular countries like Spain and Italy definitely agree with this statement...

The fact people rely on this man for information is absolutely terrifying.

Truth is not terrifying.

Leftists, Marxists, Communists, Socialists, the corrupt bought and paid for mainstream US media, a senile president, a politicized and corrupt FBI and DOJ, global institutions that mandate down to independent countries, The European Union, arrogant soulless sociopaths like Bill Gates, George Soros, and Klaus Schwab, intrinsically evil totalitarian prime ministers like Justin Trudeau and Jacinda Ardern, The World Economic Forum, Pfizer & Moderna, the CDC, FDA, and NIH, liars engaging in and hiding GOF research like Anthony Fauci...

Those are the terrifying developments in our world today.

Even your favorite pinnata Mt Putin is an ex commie.
