Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Check with Chip. Brought to you by Operation
Blue Dot Red, turning the second District Blue Dot Red,
one podcast at a time. I am a Christian in
the Catholic tradition. I am not a saint. I hope
to be one, if not in this life then in
the next. I am not a theologian. I am a
sinner in search of salvation to day Lent ends and

(00:24):
the Triduum. The Three Days begins Thursday evening to Friday evening,
Friday evening to Saturday evening, and Saturday evening to Sunday evening,
Sunday being Easter. I am an evangelist. All Christians are
supposed to be evangelists. To evangelize is to spread the
good news by word and action. In fact, we are

(00:46):
supposed to lead by example. The attribution is uncertain, but
Saint Francis of ASSISI often is credited for saying, preach
the Gospel always, when necessary, use words. This podcast is
an exercise in political evangelization. However, religion is the subject today.
For this reason, religion, or rejection of it, is a

(01:09):
major motivating force for the Blue Dot Democrat movement. I
chastise my fellow Republicans a bit here. I read and
hear Republicans saying focus on affordability and taxes and jobs,
forget about the social issues. The people who put blue
dot signs in their yards generally are not doing it

(01:31):
because of tax rates or affordability. Those may be contributing factors,
but the blue dot is a declaration of defiance against Trump, Republicans, conservatism,
and the religious and social issues that flow from being
politically read instead of blue. For many blue dotters, in
their minds, they are proving how Christian they are by

(01:54):
promoting the blue dot. There are Democrats who are devout Christians.
I have relatives and friends who are Democrats and practicing Catholics,
but I'm not sure how they do it. The Democratic
Party has become the party of abortion. It's the party
of open season, anything goes sexuality. Putting a blue dot

(02:15):
sign in your yard is saying no to Western civilization
based on natural law and four thousand years of Judeo
Christian teaching. You're saying no to the foundation of American society.
Some Blue daughters, especially younger ones, may say you're aarn right.
We're saying no to traditional America and traditional moral and

(02:36):
religious doctrines. They're flawed, bigoted, backward. We're building a new
and better society based on love and tolerance. As long
as you agree with them, they are loving and tolerant.
But that's another topic for another day. The late Andrew
Breitbart said politics is downstream from culture. Other political commentators

(02:58):
have said the same. Show me your culture, and I'll
show you your politics. Socialists and communists think politics can
remake culture. Those left wingisms have failed everywhere they have
been tried because they conflict with human nature and natural law.
Culture forms politics, not the other way around. Some on

(03:22):
the right make the same mistake. They think winning arguments
about taxes and debt burdens will bring people around on
cultural issues as well, or at least get them to
vote red instead of blue. Nope, Blue daughters will just
tune you out on economic and fiscal issues because ultimately
they make up their minds on social and cultural issues.

(03:46):
A significant number of Blue daughters don't believe in God,
or they believe that God is irrelevant. I'm God, I'm
a god unto myself. I decide what's right and wrong.
I define truth. We on the right have to get
that kind of thinking turned around, or we're doomed as
a society. We have to convince blue daughters that there

(04:09):
is an objective standard of truth, goodness, and beauty that
has been established by Western civilization, based on natural law,
on four thousand years of Judeo Christian teaching, and sometimes
we as individuals must make internal changes. We must recalibrate
ourselves to harmonize with that objective standard. Let me be

(04:32):
your lead blocker. Let me do the heavy lifting for you.
My book with the flag and crucifix on the cover,
goes right at these issues. Tell someone who needs it.
At first, this book may set your hair on fire,
but push through it and then let's talk. My book
and your guidance will bring another blue dot around to

(04:54):
red pilled truth. Fix it now Chip dot com that's
where you go to get the book on natural law
and culture. Fix it now, Chip dot com. That's check
with Chip. I'm Chip Maxwell. Thank you for listening.
