The Left Calling You a “Nazi” is Projection

The Left Calling You a “Nazi” is Projection

by Rod D. MartinMay 23, 2021 Fascism, of which Naziism (an abbreviation of "National Socialism") is a subset, is not "right wing". Fascism is that variant of Marxism which, instead of taking all your stuff directly, leaves you the illusion of ownership while actually...

Solving the Crisis of Big Tech, Privacy, and Censorship

Solving the Crisis of Big Tech, Privacy, and Censorship

by Rod D. MartinMay 8, 2021 I hear from many people concerned that Big Tech has fully and finally killed both privacy and the freedom of speech. And they have a legitimate, if terrifying, point. We've certainly seen what's possible in China, with the Communist Party's...

Jesus is a Capitalist

Jesus is a Capitalist

by Rod D. MartinMarch 29, 2021 Jesus is a Capitalist. Yes, this will come as a shock to your gender studies professor, your hippie uncle, and perhaps even your (non-economically trained) pastor. But it's true. The entirety of Scripture not only assumes but establishes...

“Christian Nationalism”?

“Christian Nationalism”?

by Rod D. MartinMarch 12, 2021 When you ask these guys (by which I mean, reasonably prominent Millennial pastors who support Beth Moore, Russell Moore, et al.) to define their made-up term "Christian nationalism", they say things like: • having a flag in church • or...

If They’re Stealing Elections, Why Bother Voting?

Primaries and Third Parties

Primaries and Third Parties

by Rod D. MartinFebruary 14, 2021 One more point about primaries (and third parties): Usually, voter turnout in primaries is way under 30%. And then the people who didn't get their way complain and call for third parties. Hey losers: if you couldn't get your people...

We Must Demand Closed Primaries

We Must Demand Closed Primaries

by Rod D. MartinFebruary 14, 2021 Question (from Whitney Scates): What would be the best route to fight for closed primaries? Answer: Wherever we do not have them, we need to campaign for them, push our legislators to enact them, and if necessary, seek to get them on...

Should We Vote for Bad Republicans in the General Election?

Should We Vote for Bad Republicans in the General Election?

by Rod D. MartinFebruary 14, 2021 So what about voting for bad Republicans in a general election (since you somehow failed at beating them in their primary, you loser). A bad Republican House member still votes against Nancy Pelosi for speaker, denying her the right...

General Election Voters Want a Choice, Not an Echo

General Election Voters Want a Choice, Not an Echo

by Rod D. MartinFebruary 13, 2021 In response to my last post, someone told me that going after other Republicans in the primary hurts the party. To which I say, bunk. That's what they said to Rubio when he challenged Charlie Crist. Rubio was 30 points down for much...
