Poisonous Lips: Socialism and Antipathy
By Oliver Perry   |   08.28.26
When a culture loses faith in the traditional foundations of God, family, and church, something else fills the void—often political ideology. In his latest column, Oliver Perry reflects on why Christians must remain a steadfast light in an era of growing societal cynicism.
Poisonous Lips: Socialism in Action vs. Its Realities
By Oliver Perry   |   08.22.26
What is capitalism? In my article Is Capitalism Immoral? I described capitalism as this:
Poisonous Lips: Socialist Businesses vs. Its Realities
By Oliver Perry   |   08.17.26
When people are asked what socialism means their answers tend to show that they don’t know. In their minds they’re intermixing capitalism and socialism.
Poisonous Lips: Socialist Liberation vs. Its Realities
By Oliver Perry   |   08.12.26
Socialism promises freedom, fairness, and an easier life. History tells a very different story. The more government controls housing, employment, health care, education, and the economy, the less freedom individuals actually have. Don’t fall for the bait-and-switch.
Poisonous Lips: Socialist Fairness vs. Its Realities
By Oliver Perry   |   08.05.26
Socialism promises "fairness" and "equity," but behind the compelling rhetoric lies a system of class warfare, property erosion, and state dependency. Don't fall for the trap. Marxism offers hollow promises—true freedom and human flourishing require standing up for our foundational values.
Simple Socialism, or Why Bernie’s AI-Envy is All Wrong
By Oliver Perry   |   07.01.26
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders wants to punish success instead of rewarding innovation. Envy has never created prosperity—freedom, innovation, and hard work have. Socialism's false promises of equality usually deliver less for everyone.
Homeschoolers Are Normal, But Their Opponents Are Not
By Oliver Perry   |   05.20.26
The battle isn't really about homeschooling. It's about who ultimately has authority over children: parents or the state? Once government gains power to bypass parents, every family should pay attention. Apparently moms and dads are now viewed as the problem.
HB 4855 and SEL: Doubling Down on Education Evil
By Oliver Perry   |   04.16.26
Illinois lawmakers are doubling down on SEL with HB 4855—mandating it for every student and weaving it into every subject. This isn’t just “mental health”—it’s shaping attitudes and beliefs in the classroom. Parents, grandparents and pastors must be alerted.
Preventing a Socialist American Revolution
By Oliver Perry   |   01.30.26
America’s politics are turning from heated rhetoric to heated actions—where intimidation is excused as activism and violence is rebranded as “speech.” The real danger may not be a traditional civil war, but a “color revolution” push for regime change: escalating unrest until the public surrenders constitutionally protected rights simply to restore “peace.”
American Christian Culture is the Only Game in Town
By Oliver Perry   |   05.29.25
Deeds, whether good or bad, must have consequences. Bad deeds must be punished.
The 2024 Elections Didn’t End the Culture Wars
By Oliver Perry   |   12.07.24
Donald Trump won the 2024 election for president. But that doesn’t mean things are all right, and that we can collectively go back to sleep. Consider these issues:
You DO Have God-Given Rights
By Oliver Perry   |   05.23.24
In her interview on MSNBC, the Politico reporter Heidi Przybyla said this about Christians who look to God for their rights.
Evangelize or Else: Defending Christian Culture
By Oliver Perry   |   02.05.24
Would you like a government that reflects your Christian beliefs? If so then congratulations, you’re a threat to democracy! Or so says Rob Reiner, who produced a movie meant to alarm you about Christian nationalism, He even tweeted that Christian nationalism is “a danger to Christianity itself.” His message, and his movie, joins an already noisy crowd just dying to tell you that applying Christianity to politics is wrong.
Remove SEL Programs From The Schools!
By Oliver Perry   |   07.28.23
In 2021 the Illinois government refreshed the The Illinois Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading Standards. These mandate that teachers become experts in “social emotional learning” (SEL). School districts have enthusiasm to implement SEL across their schools, and we soon expect to see students graduate from SEL programs. But what sort of young adults will these former students be? Because of what SEL actually teaches, expect a generation of angry agitators for socialism. The problem is that SEL has been changed to be centered around Marxist concepts...
Opposing Transgenderism Is Not Genocide
By Oliver Perry   |   04.14.23
America’s children are being targeted by sex predators. Their recruiters are already in our schools and libraries. These “transgender” people need your children as converts. Consider: Children returning from school carrying "gender unicorn lessons," which teach strange ideas of sex and gender; Public libraries are conditioning your children through “drag queen readings" to get children familiar with these recruiters; Schools are hiding from parents that they're giving puberty blocking drugs to their children.

Oliver has lived in Illinois for decades.  He wasn’t born here, but got here as fast as he could.  He found his bride at church and still adores her.  Together they’ve raised three children to successful adulthood.

Oliver sees that even today the Bible speaks authoritatively on society, its government and its laws. He hopes that through these articles you will be encouraged to also think along these lines. For more, check out his blog at FixThisCulture.com.
