An Appeal To Women

AN APPEAL TO WOMEN

Let's get back to this more modest way of life

Ladies, it is not men who are calling on us to be modest. The Bible is calling on us—not just in our manner of dress, but in our spirit, our acts, our words, and our character.

On a side note, if your husband is calling on you to be modest, you should do so out of respect for him.

People interpret 1 Timothy 2: 9-10 different ways. I’ve talked to so many women who say that they want to stay home, but they “need” to work, and yet many of them don’t. They just need to have the big house, the fancy car, and the brand name attire. I’d say this most certainly applies to them as much as any woman who shows too much skin.

I also believe that modesty of character is just as important as all of the above. I think of the woman who’s drunk and falling all over herself and random men at the bar when I read this verse. She’s loud and obnoxious, that’s how she gets attention—not through her intellect, her kindness, or her graciousness.

Feminism has taught women to be controlling, loud, and domineering. It has taught them that liberation is answering to no man. There are a lot of women who call themselves conservatives, but the minute a man asserts his authority, they automatically default to a feminist position.

I don’t take orders from any man who isn’t my husband, however I recognize that men are meant to lead us. If good men lead, then good women will naturally follow.

For me, being a conservative woman is more than favoring lower taxes and a small government (which we don’t get anyway), it’s a lifestyle. When I say that we have gender roles in my marriage, I don’t simply mean that my husband takes out the trash and I cook. I mean that he drives the car when we are going somewhere together. I mean that he works as much as he has to, so that I can stay home and take care of our children. I help them with their school work, I cook dinner every night, I do everyone’s laundry, I keep the house clean, I decorate it, I bake, I garden—I basically keep our home looking presentable, while my husband makes sure it functions properly. He is the leader and I am the nurturer in our home.

Some women will say that this sounds boring and meaningless, but I don’t need the “excitement” of a career. My family needs me and my children always have someone who’s there for them. They know this, my husband knows this, and it gives us all peace of mind.

No full-time job or the salary attached to it is worth being a part-time mother. If women could get over their selfish need to lead and control the men in their lives, maybe we could somehow get back to this more modest way of life. //

Republican In Name Only

A Republican In Name Only by Les Govment revised 5-13-2023 127 views Anyone very familiar with me on Twitter is aware that I'm a fan of Rand Paul. Of people who have been in Congress, only Ron Paul comes closer to me than Rand on the issues.   Neither of the Pauls have been labeled as RINO's. Former President Donald Trump has not been labeled a RINO, either. The RINO label has mainly been reserved for the likes of people like Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney, who definitely deserve the label. (Frankly, I think a lot of the Republicans in Congress deserve the RINO label.) I'm glad that Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016. Trump governed better than Clinton would've, and in his first 3 years, Trump governed better than I expected. He cut regulations-- which made doing business in America more attractive. His foreign policy was more restrained than his two predecessors. And he improved the line up at the Supreme Court. Then covid hit.   Instead of rejecting the nonsens...

Left's Authoritarian Slippery Slope

THE LEFT'S AUTHORITARIAN SLIPPERY-SLOPE Many on the left have become quite intolerant authored August-December 2016 by Les Govment   572 views Educators and historians typically classify Nazism as being politically on the right, often labeling it "far right." That's no surprise, since most educators are on the political left. As for the politics of historians, I think it's safe to say it's likely that a sizable portion of historians are also left-of-center. Given the groupthink that dominates the politically-engaged left, it would be quite difficult to find an American progressive who wouldn't adamantly insist that Nazism should retain its right-wing classification. That classification has become old and worn out, unsound and outdated. I'm glad to see that many people have come to see that the Nazis were not conservatives. Since "conservative" and "right-wing" are basically synonyms, it's illogical to categorize Nazism as right-...

Revisiting Waco

REVISITING WACO Not geographically, but in memory by Les Govment 160 views  It was a crisp autumn day in 1984 when I first met Jimmy Riddle outside the entrance to a church in Waco, Texas. As I approached the entrance, he greeted me and introduced himself. Shortly thereafter we found ourselves engaged in conversation. We had gotten so caught up in the conversation that by the time we were done, the church service inside was coming to an end. Jimmy told me he was a member of the Branch Davidians, who were split into two groups at the time. One group-- which Jimmy was a part of-- followed David Koresh and were staying in a house in Waco. The other group was loyal to George Roden, son of the Davidians' founder. Roden controlled Mt Carmel Center, which was the Davidians’ residential and church property, just east of Waco. (For the record, I never met Koresh or Roden.) I eventually visited Jimmy at the house in Waco. There I met several other Davidians, including a man about 60 named Pe...
