Threats from the Democrat outrage mob shouldn’t stop American conservative politicians from doing everything they can to repair America’s moral fabric. Now is not the time for conservatives to retreat into the comfort of fictional neutrality. Let Harrison Butker’s example be a call to arms to assertively champion conservative values and reshape our political landscape.
Harrison Butker, a devout Catholic and professional kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, has stirred up a major controversy with remarks made during a commencement address at Benedictine College, a small Catholic institution located in Atchison, Kansas.
In his speech, steeped in traditional Catholic beliefs, Butker took aim at a variety of untouchable tenets of liberal orthodoxy — including “Pride Month,” which he called a “deadly sin,” while warning about the threat from “dangerous gender ideologies.”
After praising his wife, Isabelle, stating that she “would be the first to say that her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother,” he had the gall to suggest that the women in the graduating class could also aspire to assume “one of the most important titles of all, homemaker,” instead of climbing the corporate ladder.
Not content to stop there, he turned the heresy dial up to 11 when he told men to “be unapologetic in your masculinity” and fight “against the cultural emasculation of men.”
Predictably, leftists across the nation lost their collective minds at these assertions. Butker’s employer, the NFL, once known for its masculinity, condemned his speech and stated that “his views are not those of the NFL as an organization” and that the “NFL is steadfast in its commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”
It’s important to note that Butker’s speech did not just offend the personal preferences and behaviors of various individuals, groups, and corporations; rather, it was nothing short of blasphemy against our state-sanctioned religion of wokeness.
Contrary to popular belief, the famed “separation of church and state” has always been a lie. The left, with the assistance of many “classical liberals” within the conservative right, has used Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptists as a cudgel to beat traditional Christian values out of American society to make room for our new rainbow religion.
What started as a drive for “inclusivity” and “equality” within the fringes of society has now grown into a quest for supremacy within American culture. Of course, this was always inevitable. While conservatives have been preaching “limited government” and “neutrality” within the marketplace of ideas and our laws, the left has spent decades amassing power and brainwashing the masses.
