When is Conservative No Longer Conservative?

At the end of 2023, a right-wing beer company presented the conservative dad's Real Women of America calendar. I did not look through this calendar, but the cover was enough, with swimmer Riley Gaines and as salacious a pose as any stripper.

Other models included Ashley St. Clair, who works for the Babylon Bee, and Sarah Gonzalez of BlazeTV. Though it's been argued that a few of the models wear more clothes, the purpose is clearly to market risque women for dads to lust over.

The Decline of Mainstream Conservatism

Jesus said,. But this is how mainstream conservatism is going. A year before, Jeremy Boring, who calls himself the CEO and God-King of The Daily Wire, a conservative news outlet, launched Jeremy's Razors in a commercial with swear words and barely-dressed women.

PragerU and BlazeTV also brand themselves as conservative, yet they publicly congratulated Dave Rubin when he announced he and his faux-husband were expecting children through a surrogate. Megyn Kelly, Megyn McCain and Chris Rufo also said congrats, and Stephanie Hamill of TPUSA.

Conservative Politics and LGBTQ Affirmation

Speaking of, Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, which promotes conservative politics to young people, defended the openly gay Rob Smith as a conservative at a TPUSA event. Is this really surprising when the first President of the United States to enter office as LGBTQ-affirming was not Bill Clinton, Barack Obama or Joe Biden.

It was Donald Trump, the conservative, though he's a pornographer, casino and strip club owner and serial adulterer. If conservatives aren't conserving the most fundamental facts of life, like male and female, man and woman, father and mother, and that sex is for marriage between a husband and wife, they're not conserving anything.

Israel as a Warning Against Idolatry and Sexual Immorality

Ancient Israel became like the pagans around them, worshiping their false gods and perished in judgment. These things happened as examples for us, so that we would not desire evil as they did. Do not be idolaters as some of them were, and engage in sexual immorality as some of them did and were destroyed.

Christ Must Not Be Tested

Do not put Christ to the test when we understand the text.
