A video has gone viral of Representative John W. Rose (R-TN), not because of what he said, but what his 6-year-old son did sitting behind him; making a number of funny faces while his dad gave his spiel.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Job 21:3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
That kid’s face is how we are all feeling with U.S. politics anymore: a literal joke. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if his dad coached him to do that so Rose could get his 5 seconds of fame.
Nevertheless, I thought we could use a laugh for once. I will say though, this kid is going to be the subject of many, many memes.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

The kid summed up the whole dog and pony show. Out of the mouths of babes!!
That’s right. He’s not being disrespectful of course not, he’s being satirical and showing the absolute absurdity of politics on both sides.
Why would anybody take their kid to a political speech anyway? This isn’t like bring your kid to work day, it’s a circus without a tent.
awesome lol
This kid is actually a comedic genius. He summed up politics and how we feel about either them in a nutshell.
Also, why take your son to a speech? He’s going to get bored, I’m an adult and even I would get bored!
I saw that, & laughingly said: I bet that young man had his butt set on fire when he got home!

I know plenty of ‘conservative Christian’ parents who brought reproach going overboard on that, & the Catholics are just as bad, if not worse, due to the extra psych conditioning of the confessional, special schools etc. That was played bigtime by media, social services etc…..Catholic Social Services the granddaddy of them all.
–
The public good behavior of Catholic kids, Jesuit & military, prep schools etc led into the failed attempt of Christians to try the same which was a huge failure, and source of shame, shipwreck & MUCH hypocrisy. Ties into the church building thing.
–
My husband responded, “No, probably not,” to my comment. And, he’s probably right.
–
When we homeschooled we took our children everywhere we went. If you were really separated & rightly teaching, & there with them, they learn a lot more than kids sequestered in school or with video games etc, that way, & are much more mature & truly ‘social’ (which always to point of attack…they didn’t want real & mature communication to be inculcated, but their serf-training fakes). It’s different now with the grandchildren, of course.
–
Television, video games, cell phones, constant entertainment, & such actually contributes to the easily ‘bored’ thing, & it’s amazing what children can do & absorb if not stunted by that. It’s something that this generation needs to guard against & detox from, too, because that short attention span, habitual constant distraction really, really hinders actual literacy: including biblical literacy & actual study. Even prayer.
–
We failed in a lot of ways along these lines & as those things were being introduced, despite not having television. Because we saw them as useful tools. You could vet a CD typing or school subject tutor requiring repetitive practice, & it wasn’t online. But things changed over time. Snakes always find away around, under or over to get in to achieve their ends & goals.
–
Guessing that this kid is prep Christian school & endless activity styled education. Even homeschooling leans that way if you’re not careful, get involved in ‘groups’ etc.
–
Adults were often amazed by conversation participation & so forth from the children, though you do have to watch for seducing adults playing up to them, tempting them. We thought we were containing that, but a lot of it was very sneaky & came from people right in the churches whom we foolishly trusted out of our sight & presence with our children.
–
Youth group, Sunday School, Children’s church……none of that stuff is appropriate anymore. It’s been targeted, infiltrated & exploited until its such a snake pit that abuses & inappropriate behavior are now prevalent.
–
It’s sadly not appropriate anymore in many places because the rot & sin are so advanced. Even with a guy with a trade taking his son with him into parts or construction supply places etc, & onto job sites.
–
It’s a fine line. As family businesses are targeted & shut down, forced into ‘safety’ & such training which got more & more psych-oriented: even skilled trademen & independent contractors are now forced into a lot of it, and, of course, florists, bakers & other service or healthcare businesses are purposely targeted & sued out of business. So, it’s harder to accomplish.
–
We’ve been pushed out until Denlinger type homesteading is about all that’s left. And that isn’t an option for all, & that ‘community’ is shot through with new age & antichrist spirituality, too. A minefield. Tons of Reformed & antisemitic, politicized garbage in that ‘community’ who compromise for money & who are nicolaitan, controlling Romish types….Augustinian….when push comes to shove.
–
As the Amish & Mennonite are, too, though in a slightly different way, & a slightly different flavor, on the face of things.
–
A 6-year-old kid seeing himself on the screen….that’s about irresistible. Not even sure Oliver could resist that one! Though he probably would, exposed as he is to his father’s ministry & video work. He does seem to manage to be busy & to find ways to entertain himself! Often makes me smile remembering my own country childhood before the world’s filth encroached even there, & the Denlinger’s are wise not to exploit that with too much attention. It’s kind of like the ‘special music’ thing in a way.
–
One of the things I appreciate about Jason Cooley’s street preaching live is how it brings out what it’s really like out there, without falling to that fake ‘reality tv’ stuff. The younger children & girls do not go out with them at all. They’re not naive, but appropriately sheltered from that defiling and coarsening influence. (Girls sports were part of that whole conditioning…as well as encouragement & enticement to work outside the home.)
–
It’s way too wicked now for that, but his older son has no illusions about ‘nice’ people, & as you watch you see how pentacostal fakes, evangelicals, emergents & sodomites, male & female, hone in & target that young man, & others of Old Paths as they prove mature & serious enough about the Lord to accompany them. They want to ‘rescue’ them. To ‘save’ them…
–
They will circle around, trying to get around the older, mature men. Trying to ‘herd’ them out & away from the other men, to talk with them, to ‘reason sense into them’, to ‘evangelize’ them, etc.
–
I remember watching the whole Kent Hovind prison debacle…how his own family often didn’t know where he was, yet these politicized ‘Christian’ cult leaders were having regular, media-aired conversations with him. Then these evangelical & creation ministries leaders were putting out these interviews & ‘dialogues’ they were having with the younger Hovind, reasoning & weaving their lies, until he abandoned both the King James position & solid creation ministry.
–
It’s the same thing. And they’ve honed it & those tactics, in addition to having devilish sensing that just smells out purity or truth & instinctively tries to ‘educate’ & to defile it.
–
The pride event preaching is especially trying as they train the young to entice, to rush the preachers in crowds, to shove phone porn in their faces, or train them to move in close to make inappropriate body contact, assaults etc….looking for a reason to accuse, trying to CAUSE a reason to accuse. And, of course, the inappropriate nakedness is everywhere. You can see the older sods involved in it all standing back smirking & watching the action. It’s all orchestrated agitation, & yet you can also see that some….a very few, but still some….witnessing it & hearing Bible preaching, at least 80% straight Law & Gospel scripture….are troubled by it, & convicted.
–
May it inspire others to get out there as well. Wisely & appropriately, respectful of authority & law….but not doormats or fodder for ambulance chasers & lawyers looking for a buck & free advertising (‘Christian’ or otherwise), either, & always with bodycams etc, always in a group.
–
As more & more policemen are educated, initiated & drawn into that garbage, they contribute to the organized resistance & agitation in some cases….or turn a blind eye, conveniently not present etc.
–
The juvenile courts & hush orders kept a lot of bad things under wraps in the name of ‘protecting the children’ & families. The gangs used it, too, initiating younger & younger because the sentencing was more lenient & people’s guard wasn’t as up to young kids. If you’re gonna be in the war, you’re going to get dirty. No place for women or children.
–
They used the ‘juvenile’ system, artificial teenager prolonging of childhood, organized sports presided over by mentoring ‘coaches’, just like they used medical ‘privacy’ laws etc. Young Christians need to be aware of that….and to what they have up their sleeves now. You can’t just rollover and quit the commission, or go ascetic & hermit.
–
As an adult, I’d have to say that what I’ve seen about the actual workings of civil government, the speechmakers etc doesn’t BORE me so much (alright, it does as so much time is wasted in all that meeting & committee stuff & glad-handing etc before they actually get around to doing ANYTHING, even if it’s just fake acting) as it disgusts, angers & frustrates me. Lol!
–
So many educated snakes & weasels & sell-out, backstabbers all in one place! (Even worse than the average politically active Penta-charismania or patriotic IFB churches….in that it’s not even cloaked!)
–
That’s why I wouldn’t bring the kid in there. This one, though, he’s probably sadly being groomed to it. Educated into it. From stage right, Harlot Trump style…..& perfect bookend to stage left, Harlot Binden/Clinton style.
