Most powerful excerpt from a Calendar: "The Glory of America" Forward by Bill Bright. These are

traditional thoughts, foundational and origin to being an American. 

Example: Jan. 2nd

 

    In 1775, the new year was rung in by the men of Marlborough, Massachusetts, with a unanimous declaration:

 

"Death is more eligible than slavery. A free-born people are not required by the religion of Jesus Christ to submit to tyranny, but make use of such power as God has given them to recover and support their laws and liberties ... [We] implore the ruler above the skies, the He would make bare His arm in defense of His Church and people, and let Israel go."

Example: Dec. 23rd

 

"On this day in 1866, Senator Henry Wilson, speaking at the Young Men's Christian Association in his Home of Natick, Massachusetts, exhorted them:

 

    "Remember ever, and always, that your country was founded, not by the 'most superficial, the lighted, the most irreflective of all European races,' but by the stern old Puritans who made the deck of the Mayflower an altar of the living God, and whose first act on touching the soil of the new world was to offer on bended knees thanksgiving to Almighty God."

Example: Dec. 27th

 

    Fisher Ames, Congressman from Massachusetts in the First Congress of the United States, wrote the words that were adopted for the First Amendment to the Constitution, in which recent Supreme Courts have found a supposed separation of Church and State that prohibits - Bible-Reading in schools. Ames once said:

 

"Should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a school-book? Its morals are pure, its examples are captivating and noble ... and by teaching all the same they will speak alike, and the Bible will justly remain the standard of language and as well as of faith."

 

Example: Nov. 22

 

    On this day in 1963, President John F. Kennedy was cut down by an assassin's bullet. He had been 

on his way to deliver a speech that ended with these words:

 

"We in this country, in this generation, are - by destiny rather than choice - the watchmen on the walls of the world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time the ancient vision of peace on earth. That must always be our goal... For as was written long ago, 'Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.'

Excerpts from "Glory of America" A Calendar of Patriotic thoughts foundational to a traditional America.

DEC. 22ND:

      On this day in 1820, speaking at the Pilgrim Bicentennial, Massachusetts Senator Daniel Webster recalled the little band that had left such a profound impression:

 

    "Our fathers were brought hither by their high veneration for the Christian religion. They journeyed by its light, and labored in its hope. They sought to incorporate its principles with the elements of their society, and to diffuse its influence through all their institutions, civil, political, or literary. 

 

    Let us cherish these sentiments, and extend this influence still more wildly; in the full conviction that that is the happiest society which partakes in the highest degree of the mild and peaceful spirit of Christianity."  Lewis, Daniel, 86

 

DEC. 20TH:

      In 1776, Founding Father John Adams wrote:

 

    "Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which establish the principles upon which Freedom cab securely stand. The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our people in a greater measure, than they have it now, they change their rulers and the forms of government, but they will obtain a lasting liberty."   Barton, Myth, 123                                                                            

 

DEC. 25TH:

      In 1857, John Quincy Adams, said:

 

  "In the chain of events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior... The Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission... It laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity, and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior, and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets 600 years before." Foster Covenant, 18-19

 

DEC. 26TH:

    "In the last days of 1862, the Reverend Byron Sunderland, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Washington, D.C., went with some friends of the President to call upon him, President Lincoln said:

 

    "The ways of God are mysterious and profound beyond all comprehension - 'Who by searching can find him out?' God only knows the issue of this business. He has destroyed nations from the map of history for their sins. Nevertheless, my hopes prevail generally above my fears for our Republic. The times are dark, the spirits of ruin are abroad in all their power and the mercy of God alone can save us." Johnson, Lincoln, 101

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS,

 

George H. Kubeck

 

 P.S.   Will we have a "Woke" and Karl Marx ideology ruling America? With shootings, weekly, in Chicago, we had thus far this year 85 children murdered in cold blood. Who cares? The culture of death which rules is not the answer.

Powerful excerpts from a Calendar: "The Glory of America" Foreword by Bill Bright - Peter Marshall & Devil Manuel, 1999 - Bill Bright "Those of us familiar with our country's godly heritage and the stories of the many sacrifices made to give birth to this nation must pass them on to others."

 

Example: July 24th

One of the Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall's favorite poems was written by Josiah Gilbert Holland:

 

"God, give us men! A time like this demands

Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands;

Men whom the lust of office does not kill;

Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;

Men who posses opinions and a will; 

Men who have honor; men who will not lie;

Men who can stand before a demagogue and damn

His treacherous flatteries without winking!

Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog

in public duty and in private thinking."

 

Example: December 8th

    George Washington concluded his first Inaugural Address:

"No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the

invisible hand which conducts the affairs of men more than

the people of the United States. Every step by which they have

advanced to a character of an independent nation seems to

have been distinguished by some token of providential agency ...

We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles

of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards 

the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained."

 

Example: December 7

Daniel Webster 

"If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this 

country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be

not diffused, error will be; If God and His Word are not known and received,

the devil and his words will gain the ascendancy; If the evangelical volume 

does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature

 will; If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth 

of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and 

darkness will reign without mitigation or end.

CATALYST - JOURNAL OF THE CATHOLIC LEAGUE FOR RELIGIOUS AND CIVIL RIGHTS - DEC. 2021

From the President's desk - William A. Donohue - www.catholicleague.org - 212-371-3394

    On Nov. 4, Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez made one of the most brilliant addresses given in Catholic circles in recent memory. His speech was given at the Congress of Catholic and Public Life in Madrid, Spain.

    Like so many other Catholic intellectuals, Gomez is rightly concerned about radical secularization that has taken root in the Western World. Unlike most of them, he has been in the trenches. I know that because the Catholic League has assisted him in his efforts to combat the agenda of secular zealots, made plain, for instance, in attempts to break the seal of the confessional.

    Gomez takes direct aim at the ruling class, those who occupy the command post in the United States and Europe. "In the elite world-view," he says, "there is no need for old-fashioned belief systems and religions. In fact, as they see it, religion, especially Christianity, only gets in the way of the society they hope to build." He offers as an example the "cancel culture" that is so prevalent.

 

    There can be no denying the veracity of Gomez's observation. Anyone who dares challenge the conventional wisdom, on issues ranging from critical race theory to gender ideology, is a candidate for censorship. It is not those who promote these pernicious views who are being silenced, it those who challenge them.

    Sociologists have long understood that  when the dominant culture strain in society atrophies, it is filled with an ersatz philosophical or religious variant. Power vacuums never last long. Thus Gomez is right to call to the extent to which the de-Christianization of the West has been replaced by movements such as "social justice," "wokeness," "identity politics" and the like

  "They claim," as he perceptively notes, "to offer what religion provides." Indeed. they provide a sense of meaning, a purpose for living, and feeling belonging to a community."This is exactly what the great sociologists have been saying for over a hundred and fifty years. Sadly, it is now happening in the United States.

    Gomez's critics take umbrage at this comment that the reining movement functions a new religion. He properly notes that today's critical theories and ideologies are profoundly atheistic." Anyone who follows what the proponents of these ideologies espouses know that Gomez is right. Indeed, they don't even try to hide their animus against Christianity. 

 

    John McWhorter is a Columbia University professor and he understands what Gomez is talking about. An African American, he has written a book, Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America. Both men call attention to identity politics an radical race theories -which judge people on the basis of their race, not individual characteristics. These ideological currents are not only profoundly racist in themselves, they satisfy the religious yearnings of those drawn to them.

    As a man of God. Gomez wants us to repair to the Gospel, not to "these new religions of social justice and political identity." But to his critics, many of whom are Catholic theologians, what he says is verboten. Some no doubt would like to cancel him.

    Franciscan Father Daniel Horan is upset with Gomez for making a speech that exhibits a "shocking disconnection from reality." Too bad he never says what the disconnect is. He cites for support a left-wing Jesuit theologian, Fr. Bryan Massingale, who, according to Horan, said the problem is that bishops like Gomez "Have the audacity to speak with unearned authority about issues they clearly do not understand."

    It would be hard to find a more arrogant example of professorial elitism than this. Readers should know that Horan and Massingale spend much of their time writing and lecturing about homosexual and transgender issues. Gomez spends much of his time writing and lecturing about the Catholic Church He is president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Thus he has earned the authority to speak about any issue of interest to the Catholic Community.

    Fr. Tom Reese wonders why Gomez "abandoned" the term "social justice" to those he considers the enemy of religion, especially when social justice has a place in the "long history of the church's

 social teaching." This is a serious misreading of Gomez's address. He has not abandoned social justice - the term been hijacked by those whose ideology sharply departs from the Catholic Churches understanding of it...

    That is what makes Gomez's presentation so valuable. He sees what is going on in the United States and Europe and beckons us to get back to basics, the basics outlined by Jesus. If we do not resist the forces of decadence and division, the future will soon become unrecognizable.

"BIDEN SAYS POPE TOLD HIM HE IS A GOOD CATHOLIC"- EXCERPTS

BY FRANCIS X. ROCCA AND CATHERINE LUCEY

 

 

COMMENTARY: THE POPE IS MISTAKEN: YOU CANNOT VERBALLY  CHANGE A LIE INTO A LEGITIMATE TRUTH.

THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES US THAT THIS IS A LIE. THE PUBLIC DECISIONS OF THE CINOP IN CONGRESS SPEAKS LOUDLY THAT THIS IS A LIE FOR ANY CINOP.

IN VIRGINIA, WE HAVE A CINOP RUNNING FOR OFFICE. IN AN HONEST ELECTION HE WILL BE DEFEATED.

 

KILLING OF THE UNBORN IS WRONG. PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION IS WRONG. ASSISTED SUICIDE IS WRONG. THE CINOP VOTES FOR THESE WRONGS.

 

TODAY, THE CINOP IS PROMOTING THE CULTURE OF DEATH IN AMERICA. THE TRUTH HURTS.

 

WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH A POLITICAL POPE:  IN MY JUDGMENT HE HAS BEEN BADLY DUPED BY 

MARXIST/COMMUNISTS WHO ARE MASTERS OF DECEIT AND DECEPTION WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP A KID. OUR GOD IS JESUS CHRIST. THEIR GOD IS KARL MARX, AN ATHEIST WHO SEEKS TO DESTROY AND UNDERMINE ANY JUDEA-CHRISTIAN HERITAGE IN ANY COUNTRY.

 

 

EXCERPTS: 

 

VATICAN CITY  - PRESIDENT BIDEN, AFTER MEETING POPE FRANCIS, SAID THE PONTIFF TOLD HIM TO CONTINUE RECEIVING COMMUNION, AMID A CONTROVERSY AMONG U.S. CHURCH LEADERS  ABOUT WHETHER THE PRESIDENT'S SUPPORT FOR ABORTION RIGHTS SHOULD DISQUALIFY HIM FROM RECEIVING THE SACRAMENTS.

"WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE FACT HE WAS HAPPY THAT I WAS A GOOD CATHOLIC AND I SHOULD KEEP RECEIVING COMMUNION." BIDEN SAID. THE VATICAN DIDN'T REPLY TO A REQUEST TO COMMENT....

 

MR. BIDEN DECLINED TO SAY ON FRIDAY WHETHER HE AND THE POPE HAD DISCUSSED THE U.S. BISHOPS 'DEBATE SAYING THAT'S PRIVATE CONSERVATIVE.... 

 

THE POPE AND MR. BIDEN SPOKE IN PRIVATE FOR AN UNUSUALLY LONG 75 MINUTES. [ IT IS USUALLY ABOUT ONE HALF HOUR.]...

 

MR. BIDEN TOLD REPORTERS THAT HE DIDN'T RECEIVE COMMUNION DURING HIS VISIT TO THE VATICAN ON FRIDAY."

 

GEORGE H. KUBECK

 

P.S. CINOP CONGRESSMAN LUIS CORREA IS ALMOST HATED BECAUSE HE DOES VIOLENCE TO OUR NORMAL BELIEF SYSTEM. A NORMAL AMERICAN CATHOLIC DOES NOT USE HIS RELIGION FALSELY TO GET ELECTED AND FOOL THE VOTERS. THAT IS WHAT AN AMERICAN CATHOLIC-IN-NAME ONLY POLITICIAN DOES. THAT IS THE REALITY OUT THERE FOR HIM. LUIS CHANGE YOUR RELIGION AND THEN YOU WILL BE IGNORED.

 

WHICH WAY AMERICA?

 WHICH WAY AMERICA?

VERITAS, BLOG - CINOPS BE GONE 

 

WALL STREET JOURNAL, OCT. 15, 2021 - NOBLE & QUOTABLE- WHICH WAY AMERICA?

 

THE INSTITUTE FOR AMERICAN STUDIES AT HUNGARY'S NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF PUBLIC SERVICE IN THE MANDINER MAGAZINE, OCT. 7:

 

    The American way of life has changed in many ways over our long history, as Americans have become more numerous, diverse, prosperous, urban and mobile. Three characteristics have endured from the founding as a live and let live attitude, a belief in opportunity and initiative, and a strong sense of patriotism.  The first first two embody our ideals of liberty and equality; the third is the spirit that holds everything together.

 

    First, most of us are attached to ways of living that are characteristics of our localities, ethnic heritages, family traditions, religious, vocations, and so on - but recognize and appreciate, that many of our countrymen are attached to other distinctive, worthy ways and traditions. Live-and-let- live has fortified rather than divided our nation.

 

    We have been for example, a notable religious people without tearing ourselves apart over matters of doctrine and revelation - and religious movements have made many illustrious contribution to our national development.  [ Many people remain attached to tradition, but the woke have a host of advantages.] 

 

    Second we are united by an ethic of equal opportunity for all. This is not an abstract creed but a set of living practices. It depends on robust private initiative and public commitment - to the rule of law, limited government, and wide freedoms of inquiry, belief and speech and of association and industry.

 

    Third, our patriotism is strong because it based on gratitude - for our stupendous natural resources and geography, for our long-lived Constitution and political system that have gotten us through  many hard challenges, for the deeds of our ancestors, for the living practices of liberty and equality. This American patriotism is not aggressive and does not have a chip on its shoulder; it is attached to our national inheritance rather than to the state; it is unifying rather than dividing.

 

    Today's woke progressives believe that these feature of the American Way are lies and illusions - to be woke means to have woken up to the realities concealed by happy talk about liberty, equality and opportunity. Progressives want to replace live-and-let live with identity politics of grievance and resentment among racial, sexual, and other groups of envy of "the rich." They would replace equal opportunity with preference and penalties for officially identified groups, and individual initiatives with government provisions for even routine incidence of life. In the service of these goals, they would restrict each of the freedoms I have itemized. Finally, by opening our borders, and by recasting our history as a story of unmitigated evil, progressives [communists] would depose American nationhood; they favor the sovereignty of the unmoored, and uncontrained self.

 

    A great many Americans remain attached to our traditional ideals and ways of life and are aghast at the strange ideologies sweeping their institutions, from Wall Street to local schools. But progressivism [communism] has become a powerful force. It draws upon the decline of family, religion, and locality and on the tribalism of social media and the internet. It has the advantages of passionate conviction, elite validation, and bureaucratic entrenchment. Which American way will eventually prevail is an open question.
