Welcome to Check with Chip, broughtto you by retire Smart. I'm Chip
Maxwell. We're in the home stretchof Patriot Pride Month, the rebuttal to
Pride Month, so I'm focusing onexcerpts from my book that deal with the
battle between the cross and the rainbowflag for cultural supremacy. My book is
fix It Now, rediscover natural law, and get America out of its cultural
(00:24):
death spiral. All you conservatives whowant to ignore the social issues and stick
to the fiscal issues, we won'twin on the fiscal issues unless we first
win on the social issues. Wewon't even get to the fiscal issues,
especially with young people, unless wefirst win on the social issues. Here
(00:48):
we go. There is a wellestablished difference between discrimination based on race and
discrimination based on sexual activity. Leftwingtivists tend to believe that discrimination is automatically
wrong. Nobody should judge anybody unlessthe target is conservative, in which case
discrimination is allowed and even encouraged.Discrimination is not automatically wrong. All of
(01:15):
us discriminate in ways large and small. To discriminate is to choose from two
or more options, from the clotheswe wear, to the food we eat,
to the people whose company we chooseto pursue or avoid, to the
people we choose to date and marry, to the positions we take on matters
of war and peace or life anddeath. We discriminate. Life presents choices.
(01:40):
We must discriminate to be moral beings. There is no morality without discrimination.
The left says, if we allowdiscrimination based on religious principles, then
how can we stop the k kK from using religion to discriminate based on
race. There is no basis infour thousand years of Judeo Christian teaching for
(02:06):
discrimination based on race. There isa basis for discrimination based on sexual activity.
It is part of the moral packagethat has been the foundation of Western
civilization. Those of us who followthat teaching are free to use that religious
principle as a basis of moral discrimination. We are required to do so to
(02:30):
remain true to our faith. Theleft says, then the problem remains.
You say there is no basis inJudeo Christian teaching for race based discrimination,
but someone else could say you arewrong. There is, or someone in
another faith tradition could say, myreligion believes in race based discrimination. So
(02:53):
we are back to the question,how can we stop the KKK or anyone
else from you using a claim ofreligious liberty to discriminate based on race.
We already have stopped it. Weused the Constitution and our system of self
government by majority rule. After theCivil War, we made three changes to
(03:16):
the Constitution. Amendments thirteen, fourteenand fifteen prohibit discrimination based on race.
A century later, the federal governmentpassed the Civil Rights Laws of the nineteen
sixties, further clarifying that discrimination basedon race is illegal. There is no
religious exception. As a society,we have not made that kind of decision
(03:43):
about discrimination based on sexual activity.The left says, we have decided.
The Supreme Court gave a green lightto same sex marriage. That was not
a legitimate policy decision by majority rule. The Supreme Court had no authority to
decide a case involving an issue onwhich the Constitution is silent. The court
(04:06):
should not have ruled for or againstsame sex marriage. It should have sent
the case back to the trial courtto be dismissed because there is nothing for
a court to decide. Whether toprotect same sex marriage is a policy decision
to be made by majority rule,by the people, directly via balant measures,
(04:26):
or in statutes by their elected officials. I realize that one more generation
of successful indoctrination of children by theleft might result in amending the Constitution to
guarantee a right to same sex marriageand transgenderism and the whole open season anything
goes sexual agenda of the left.That's our system. Free people are free
(04:48):
to ruin themselves and their society withbad decisions. We are free to reject
natural law and four thousand years ofJudeo christian as the foundation of our society.
That's why I wrote this book tokeep that from happening. Meanwhile,
do not let anyone in your presencesay there is no difference between discrimination based
(05:13):
on sexual activity and discrimination based onrace. The difference is the Constitution is
silent on discrimination based on sexual activity. It is not silent on discrimination based
on race. The Bible is silenton discrimination based on race and generally calls
(05:34):
on believers to rise above such worldlydistinctions. The Bible is not silent on
discrimination based on sexual activity. That'san excerpt from my book Fix It Now.
Read Discover Natural Law and get Americaout of its cultural death spiral.
