This is FROM the left. I went to Pink News so you didn’t have to-
1. Abortion is murder
Early in his speech, Harrison Butker takes aim at President Joe Biden for fuelling “degenerate cultural values”, specifically stating: “Our own nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith but at the same time is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally, he has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I’m sure to many people it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice.”
He also complained about an erosion of traditional Catholic values in daily life, saying that “abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media” come from “the pervasiveness of disorder.”
2. Bishops are “misleading their flocks”
Butker also goes on a lengthy aside about bad apples in the Catholic priesthood; saying that the Church needs to get its “house in order” and listing many, many ways he thought that should be done.
“There is not enough today time today for me to list all the stories of priests and Bishops misleading their flocks… sadly many priests we are looking to for leadership are the same ones who prioritise their hobbies or even photos with their dogs and matching outfits for the parish directory.
3. LGBTQ+ pride is “sinful”
Butker then takes aim at the LGBTQ+ community, saying: “I am certain the reporters at AP could not have imagined that their attempt to rebuke and embarrass places and people like those here at Benedictine wouldn’t be met with anger, but instead met with excitement and pride – not the deadly sin sort of Pride that has an entire month dedicated to it, but the true God-centered Pride that is cooperating with the Holy Ghost.”
As part of this, he accused world leaders of “pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America.”
4. A woman’s place is in the home
Following on from his comments about the LGBTQ+ community, Harrison Butker then says he wants to address the women in the audience “directly” in his speech transcript, explaining: “I think it is you the women who have had the most diabolical lies told to you,” going on to explain that those lies were about careers:
“I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.
“I cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met back in middle school would convert to the faith become my wife and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker.
“Isabelle’s dream of having a career might not have come true but if you ask her today if she has any regrets on her decision she would laugh out loud without hesitation and say heck no.”
5. … and so is a man’s, actually
Following the homemaker comments, Butker pauses to discuss the “plague” of single-parent families with no father in the house. The 28-year old goes on a diatribe about this situation, saying: “What plagues our society is this lie that has been told to you that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities.
“As men we set the tone of the culture and when that is absent disorder, dysfunction and chaos set in. This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around the nation. Be unapologetic in your masculinity, fighting against the cultural emasculation of men.”
6. Covid also comes up a few times
He seems to think that the response to the pandemic was excessive, saying: “We cannot buy into the lie that the things we experienced during Covid were appropriate. Over the centuries there have been great wars, great famines and yes, even great diseases that came with a level of lethality and danger, but in each of those examples church leaders leaned into their vocations and ensured that their people received the sacraments.”
7. We live in a “post-God world”.
Finally, Harrison Butker sends the students away with a warning, saying: “Make no mistake, you are entering into Mission territory in a post-God world, but you were made for this and with God by your side and a constant striving for virtue within your vocation you too can be a saint. Christ is King to the heights.”

Misguided hatred for the TRUTH!
!! As usual !!
Anything that goes against their Communist agenda they jump ugly on. They don’t exactly know why, they just react… like Yellow Jackets. Bees are productive and useful. Yellowjackets are just Assholes.
The left are also a bunch of assholes that hate God. May God bless Harrison Butker and condemn the left to hell where it belongs. And am I missing something in the comparison of the name Harrison Butker and the fictional Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut? The names seem to be coincidental, but both make for outstanding stories on their own merit. Perhaps God works in mysterious ways to get out attention.
get our attention.
Paul, in Romans 1:18-25 nails it:
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Excellent comments. All of them. Feminism ruined families by telling women they are not enough unless they have a career.
The left added kicking men out of the home so the woman can make more welfare money.
Everything he said is what Satan has been doing to kill families. He hates God’s order because that brings goodness and peace to all.

One million thumbs up.
Buckle up; it’s only going to get worse for us Christians. Harrison put it all on the line. He knew there would be repercussions. He can walk away from the NFL tomorrow with a smile on his face. We need more men like him.
He’s a very brave young man, the left will do everything they can to destroy him now.
@Claudia:
Amen. And then smarmy sanctimonious legislators claiming to be members of the feminist fraternity (!) raised taxes, gradually to be sure, to the point that it is damned difficult to afford to raise a family without two incomes. And lately even two incomes is not enough for far too many.
What I found remarkable is that if you took Butker’s presentation and isolated it from the modern Western culture in which it was given (difficult, I know), then much of what he said was UNremarkable. But in context, it was a vivid reminder of how far we as a people have strayed from the values and principles that made us the compassionate, charitable, wealthy, virtuous society that brought us here to the point where, now, complacency may well result in our own destruction. I pray not.
Yes, the left will target Harrison, but he and his family will survive the fire of persecution. No weapon formed against him shall prosper – Isaiah 54:17. He is protected by God who is very pleased with his righteous faithfulness.
I’m not a Catholic — actually not even a Christian — and I had no problem with anything I heard this guy said.
Taylor who? LOL!
What did he say that upset the left? Well he’s a conservative heterosexual married white man of faith, so I’m going to go with the fact that he had any sort of opinion whatsoever. He could have simply stated that the sun rose in the east and set in the west and he will still be vilified.
I was once a stay at home mum, but Man Plans and God Laughs. Hubby and I had our 2nd daughter who was born with a chromosomal neurological birth defect. I threw myself into her care with such diligence and fervor that the medical community recruited me and I became a nurse. Never in a million years had I considered that path. Years later my husband’s company went under and I became the breadwinner until he got another job a year later. I kept working. 6 years later hubby again lost his job in a corporate merger. I was again breadwinner, this time for 2 years while he started up a company.
Life is messy, chaotic, unpredictable and can give two shits about your dreams of SAHM and white picket fences. I have 2 grandmothers who had to work to support their families after losing their husbands, one to a semi on I94 and one to gunmen who shot her husband in the back of the head in front of two of their six children. Neither ever remarried.
Some women will say you have to be educated and employed to protect yourself against what your husband might become. I say bitch please, the world has far far worse things it can do to you than what your man can do to you. The idea is to grab his hand, invest in each other and face the world together. If you’re that afraid of a husband then DON’T BOTHER GETTING MARRIED.
My parents showed me what makes a lasting marriage. I grew up wanting that. I married the HS sweetheart and only discovered that she was no sweetheart. We had four sons and she kicked me to the curb after twenty years. She had a douchebag living with her before the divorce was final. She has been married five times and divorced five times. She still considers herself a Catholic but doesn’t live a Christian life. If I were to ever leave my sons an inheritance, she’d do whatever it took to get her hands on it, and I mean whatever it took. I’ve had to set up a trust so she will never benefit from my death.
I believe what the left is doing now is called, “Pulling Shit Out Of Their Ass”. The lefts always done this but right now it’s a full blown epidemic. You here the same BS on Morning Blow and the View. That’s gotta be where there getting this crap from. The interesting thing about the left is you can run into fairly intelligent people. In my case a Chiropractor and two attorneys. People trained to critically think and problem solve. But when it comes to politics they go straight up brain dead.
I forgot to add. It’s only May. This shit will only get worse.
Harrison Buttkicker!
It’s not just WHAT he said, it’s HOW and WHERE he said it.
He spoke the truth. But they can often hide or twist that. Not so in this case. The left was foolish enough to have a hissyfit over something the mainstream culture never would have heard of except for their complaints and now they can’t contain the backlash of righteous normality.
Because he said it as a capable, accomplished, confident (and good looking, even hip) white man. And he said it to an audience of like-minded, smart, moral, committed Catholics at a Catholic college.
The left’s freak-out over what should have been an unremarkable speech at a little known college tells you they fear him, his confident masculinity (and his love and respect for authentic femininity), and the whole graduating class at this and every other religious and conservative college.
Lunatic fringe, I know you’re out there.
^^^^^You sure the fock are.
You can take that moral ass crap shit & shove it right up where the sun never shines.
MY BODY MY CHOICE, aholes.
^^^^^ Not if I’m punching holes in it with my 1911. Right? You’re an idiot offended at shit he never said. The usual libtard. Can’t deal with reality.
^^^^ Brad, I’m triggered, Lunatic Fringe is your best friend unfortunately for us decent God fearing folks you & other cult members hit the edge of the canyon & jumped right over. WTF? Cause he told you, your David Davidian/Jim Jones leader.
Reality & common sense right down the/his golden crapper.
^^^^^ I am comfortable around the Lunatic fringe. And I’m sure you and your Va Jay Jay are triggered.I’m to busy making money to be triggered. I’m glad you have a good relationship with God. You’re going to need it. God forgives stupid sinners. If you confess he will for give you. You are currently following the anti Christ.
It’s good to see!
Do not shy away from the epithets and insults from the left. Be unapologetic. Their ‘weapon’ is fear of being cancelled. Revel in it, wear it as a badge of pride, and the weapon will have no power over you.
Tell them you think abortion is murder and they are going to rot in hell for eternity for having one. Watch their heads explode…. Remind them that they are entitled to have and express whatever opinion they want to have on the matter, just the same as you. Good luck in Hell! Have a nice day.
Dr Hambone…. I am so sorry you and your kids went through that. As hellish as it was while you went through it and as bad as it still can be, from what you indicate she has become since then, thank goodness you have some distance now. The younger generation loves the label narcissist and they throw it at everyone who disagrees with them or makes them uncomfortable, but I would wager your ex is textbook. To be that destructive not just to your family but over and over again to multiple marriages, again I am so sorry.
