The CRAWFORD STAND podcast

TWO TO THE BODY, ONE TO THE HEAD. Sounds like a trainer telling a boxer how to attack his opponent, does it not? Actually, it’s one woman giving instructions as to how to shoot a gun in self-defense, to another woman. It has come to just that, my fellow Americans, in our very own beloved country. Women by the tens of thousands are concerned with their safety, sexual abuse, harassment and domestic...

Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions. We think of these economic measures as applying to Israel by so much of the world at large. And they do. But now comes an aggressive conservative reaction to those companies, American corporations, the stock of which is publicly traded, those WOKE executives and board members asking the conservative American public to boycott the purchase of their products, divest any...

BLAME IT ON THE JEWS! When anything goes wrong, when any world problem occurs, some individuals, ethnicities or nations will always find the Jews at fault. Jew hatred is as old as civilization itself. Jews were always regarded as a peculiar people, separated and segregated, subject to physical abuse even torture and of course killing with impunity. They were almost never at fault but that never ma...

Are you a Christian? I do most sincerely hope that you are. It is for several billion people on this planet: THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE If you are a Christian, what kind of Christian are you? Are you the member of a denomination, such as Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist or perhaps Pentecostal. There are many main stream denominations in America and in the world over. Are you one of them? So...

America is the leader of the west. Or at least, it once was. We were born as a marvelous experiment in Democracy, in FREEDOM. We, the 1776ers built our country as THE CITY ON THE HILL, the bright, shining beacon welcoming all to enjoy these precious freedoms with the Pledge of Allegiance to protect, preserve and defend our precious constitution and our way of life. We were built as a nation, one n...

Work is good. Work is necessary for the fulfillment of every human being. Work is required of every person according to his or her capabilities and talents, so sayeth the Scripture. All of us must work to survive, live, grow and profit and be all that we can be and as God intended us to be. Our very own America was built on hard work, and is in fact itself a work in progress. The progress depends...

We think of our great country, we Americans do, as a Democracy. The fact of the matter is that America is really not a democracy but rather a: REPUBLIC. America is a sophisticated system of government, political authority spread about, exercised by different entities and branches of government and most importantly, the governmental system known as Federalism which consists of a federal government...

Train up a child in the way in which the child should go.   What kind of a training as a child did you have? Were you trained with a quality education, a good school and high school, and college or university, were you? You learn the classics, the three R’s, reading, writing and arithmetic? Were you trained in American history, Western civilization, geometry and chemistry, all the things which are...

THE BIBLE IS HATE SPEECH!    Those were the words of an atheistic, radical, Marxist progressive, deep within the democratic party who has an aggressive hatred for the Bible, for Christianity and for all Christians. The Bible, says this radical – atheist should be banned in every public place, including and especially schools, libraries and especially kept away from the young.    The Bible spews ha...

BE OF GOOD CHEER.    Are you a cheerful person? Do you tend in personality to the positive rather than the negative? Do you see the glass half full rather than half empty, do you? You should, you know. For BE OF GOOD CHEER is not suggestive but rather a positive, aggressive biblical commandment. A cheerful, happy, joyful expression and more importantly heart, a cheerful heart is every bit required...

Scriptures tell us very clearly, Old and New Testaments that the world in which we live, our beloved planet Earth will END. All we know and experience, all we assume with regard to planet Earth will someday be no more. The Bible does not say when, for only God Almighty knows that. But it is clear that there will be an ending and it even tells us in some ways how this world of ours will end.   In t...

We the Christians believe that the Bible, the Holy Bible is the inspired word of God.    It is for us:            THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY.    All 66 books of this precious Bible, we believe, have been given to us by inspiration, and with this ultimate authority comes the concept of infallibility. It is right, it is truth, every word of it. Do you believe that, do you really believe that?   These bo...

He’s black!   That should be a good thing today, but this particular African American also happens to be conservative. I refer to Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, a bright, articulate, intellectually strong and morally equipped, politically astute Senator from the great state of South Carolina. This is a man, a true American, who is on the rise politically in the Republican party and many thin...

FREEDOM!   We are, America is, the home, the land of the:   BRAVE AND THE FREE.   We are lovers of freedom.  It is, you could say, in our genes. We inherited that love of freedom from those who founded our great country, fought against the oppressors more than two centuries ago and built the foundation for the FREEDOMS we now enjoy today. Give us, we say with that great statesman and our forefathe...

Few know or care about Article VI of the Constitution. But any person of faith, whatever the belief, should know about the content of this very special constitutional provision and be prepared to both understand and defend it. Here the words:   “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”   If you qualify and consequently are...

Two kinds of fathers are there.    The one Heavenly, the other earthly.    The Lord of Glory, the Carpenter of Nazareth said:   “I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.”   What a claim. Blasphemy by a human being if it were not true.  But they were ONE, and the carpenter from Nazareth told us in unequivocal terms that the CREATOR OF THIS UNIVERSE AND OUR EARTH was indeed among so many other things a:   FATHER  ...

“What is happening in America really scares me!”  Those were the words of a listener to The Stand. It should indeed scare this good Christian lady who wrote, and in fact, it should scare all of us, that is all of WE THE PEOPLE who love America, what it is, and what it should be. It is no surprise that there are those by the millions, perhaps even tens of millions, who wish to destroy this great Co...

Freedom of Religion is the first freedom in the First Amendment of the very first and most brilliant freedom document ever written by mankind. Nobody and nothing can legally interfere with the practice of religion legitimately practiced, so says the First Amendment, including and especially Congress, House and Senate which is absolutely and unconditionally forbidden to establish a religion or abri...

In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May, echoing the words and sentiments of the proclamation of General John A. Logan of the grand Army of the Republic in 1868 who stated: “Memorial Day is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the...

And another one bites the dust!    That is, another so called Christian, Evangelical organization caves in, gives up and surrenders to LGBTQ. And that would be:            BETHANY CHRISTIAN SERVICES (BCS).    This once strong, proud fully Christian organization was one of the nation’s largest Evangelical agencies involved in adoption and foster care. It held strong to Christian principles, includi...

In our world, love rules.    It is the highest attribute, with fundamental characteristic of all humankind.    Perhaps the finest expression of love is:   MOTHER LOVE   The definition of mother, a real mother is simply put:   LOVE   A mother’s love is the ultimate human love. It is said that THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE RULES THE WORLD.  Perhaps so because so much of a child is formed in the ear...

When in doubt, blame it on the Jews.    Nobody did that better, nobody was more anti–Semitic than the insane Adolf Hitler, the man who singlehandedly destroyed – murdered more than six million Jews for the simple reason they were Jews. Hitler hated the Jews and history cannot ascertain  exactly why.   So did Stalin. And Marx and Lenin. And of course, most of the Arab world and right  next door to...

“It’s going to take a very long time to deradicalize these people.” Those are the words, a very quote from Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez, the infamous AOC, and THESE PEOPLE are:          WE THE PEOPLE! Also known as the DEPLORABLES, thanks to the also infamous Hillary Clinton. The radicals that need to be deradicalized are those who dared to vote for Trump, and other Republicans, and other conservative...

The Founding Fathers of the United States of America, the authors of our beloved and beautiful Constitution of the United States feared the federal government. Greatly feared the potential for power abuse by any newly formed federal government. They were determined, these Founding Fathers were, to preserve the authority, autonomy and integrity of the 13 states responsible for determining how a fed...
