Fever pitched rhetoric has consequences.

Enough already! Just because I disagree with your politics or you disagree with mine makes neither of us evil. We are all merely pawns that the proletariat uses to accomplish their ends. As we point fingers at one another, leftist activists, politicians, and journalists that continually provoke both sides are laughing all the way to the bank. When we engage in hateful rhetoric with our neighbors, evil secures and maintains its’ power. As we fight amongst ourselves, evil actions are kept hidden in darkness, allowing the purveyors of evil to prosper. Hate is a tool that the father of lies uses to sow division and strife, poisoning our very souls.

A house divided cannot stand. If this nation continues on its current trajectory, another civil war is not out of the question. The hatred sown, almost exclusively from the left, is tearing the fabric of society apart. Friends and family discussing politics often evoke a knock-down, drag-out argument that can end in relationships forever fractured. Some on the left even refuse to interact with family members that are conservative. How ridiculous is that?

For all you on the left that have never even bothered to watch any of his interactions or events, Charlie Kirk was not evil or a nazi. Charlie Kirk preached the love of Jesus Christ and that you should use your intellect to think logically for yourself. There was no hatred. There was no homophobia or transphobia. He spoke the truth and offered an invitation to all viewpoints to engage in productive and respectful dialogue. And for that he was murdered. Those who celebrate his death are overcome by the evil one.

For all of you on the left, guns do not kill anyone, only those who use them to commit violent acts. Black on black gun crime has skyrocketed, yet in the increasingly rare occurrence when police shoot a black man, newscasters report it as if it is an epidemic. Police kill whites at 3 times the numbers of blacks, so the argument that blacks are unfairly targeted lacks merit based upon the facts.

For all of you on the left, the criminal justice system in the United States has so many checks and balances that protect criminal’s constitutional right from unjust convictions, that an only an estimated 1-5% of all incarcerated criminals have been unjustly convicted. That means that 95-99% of individuals, no matter their skin color, have been justly convicted and sentenced appropriately. So, those persons of color in prison have earned their just rewards, rendering the argument that persons of color are unjustly and disproportionally incarcerated, moot.

For all of you on the left, government is not the answer, it is the problem. Welfare has imprisoned generations of minorities, trapping them on the plantation of entitlements, eliminating God and fathers from the family unit. Healthcare costs have been inflated by penny on the dollar reimbursements by Medicare and Medicaid, causing providers to increase costs to private insurance companies to make up the difference. Obamacare provides subsidies directly to the insurance companies and not to the insured. That disastrous strategy will do nothing but drive up premiums! Public education continues to fail our children as legislators throw ever more taxpayer dollars at it to “fix” it. Over 80% of school budgets go to teacher’s salaries and benefits, so it is obviously not just about the children. This wasteful spending drives up property taxes, pricing potential home buyers out of the market and forcing homeowners, especially retirees, to forsake home ownership. In plain terms, when government intervenes, government fails miserably. Winners and losers should succeed or fail based upon merit.

For all of you on the left, perhaps it is finally time to follow the science. Biology determines that there are but two genders, male and female. Men cannot ever become fully functioning women and women can never become men, no matter how much they want it to be so. Gender dysphoria morphed practically overnight from a mental disease into a condition in need of “gender affirming care.” Any doctor performing any gender altering care to minors should be charged with malpractice and banned from the medical profession. “Transgender” adults, if you can reconcile your “life” choice with God, more power to you. Loving your neighbor does not require others to affirm poor decision makers within their fantasies.

The left is a clear and present danger to this nation. Democrats have hitched their wagons with the insanity that is the left. The left is doing the devil’s work, dividing and conquering this one nation, under God. The invective arising from leftist democrats is constant and deafening. The rhetoric masks their true intentions; They have nothing to better the lives of the American people other than casting aspersions at their “opposition” party and its leader, Donald Trump. Allowing democrats, in their current form, to have any power in the decision making in Congress, State, or local government, will be to the detriment of our Constitutional Republic.

We, the people, have far more in common than the difference in our politics. We are all unconditionally loved by our Father in heaven, despite our shortcomings. For all the differences that seem to take precedence in our worldly lives, it is our spiritual lives that matter most. While it may seem difficult at times to love our neighbors as ourselves, without it our world will continue spiraling out of control. Hatred is easy, love takes a conscious and concerted effort. If we loved one another as much as Christ loved us, wars would end, families would unite, and communities would thrive. Placing God first in our lives is the greatest commandment, loving our neighbors as ourselves is the second. Embracing those two commands along with recognizing, confronting, and rejecting evil, is the recipe to heal our broken nation.

“Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40

“You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.” 1 John 4:4-6

Resistance

 

Is encouraged in democrat run cities and states.

As a Star Trek aficionado, I watched as the crew of the Enterprise fought against the Borg, a species that forcefully assimilated other cultures into their own humanoid/machine hybrid species. “We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.” Overpowering force and technology made the Borg virtually invulnerable. While the Borg forcibly assimilated, America has welcomed many people from different cultures to add value to our community. Most immigrants have done just that.

As this nation grew in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries, immigrants were necessary to fuel the engine that was America. Immigrants entered through Ellis Island in New York, where they were processed, issued identification, had to demonstrate financial stability, pass a criminal history test, and were vetted for any infectious diseases. Those immigrants that passed admission tended to reside together in close knit communities, maintaining many of their customs. Those immigrants also felt a strong bond with their adopted country and made it imperative that they learn, speak, and write in the native language, English.

Fast forward to today and many of these “new breed” of immigrants have no desire to assimilate into American culture and society. Bi-lingualism has eliminated any incentive for Spanish-speaking immigrants to learn English. Enclaves of immigrants, particularly the Muslim community, refuse to speak English and are hostile to outsiders. These “outsiders” are the citizens of the nation that welcomed them in the first place! Democrat run cities and states acquiesce to these groups, allowing them to create their own government within their community that rejects the rule of law and replaces it with Sharia law.

Corrupt Somali Muslims in Minnesota and other states stand accused of running elaborate welfare and covid funding fraud schemes, with losses that reach into the $Billions. Over 80% of Somali immigrants collect some form of welfare, even after ten years of residency in the US. Some of that money is sent back to Somalia, accounting for over 10% of Somalia’s annual budget. More of those funds are redirected to Al-Shabaab, a Somali terrorist organization, making the Minnesota taxpayer their single largest funding source. Immigrants that cheat, lie, and steal from their benefactors forfeit any right to live in a civilized society.

Immigration law requires all immigrants to lawfully enter through a port of entry, comply with US immigration laws, follow all procedures necessary to apply for a visa, have the ability to be lawfully employed, and are not eligible for welfare benefits. Today, you can throw those rules out the nearest window. On the very day Joe Biden took office in 2021, the floodgates were opened and millions of illegal immigrants began to flood into the nation from our southern border. Over the next four years immigration officers were overwhelmed by the onslaught of 5-10000 illegal immigrants daily. Immigration officers became babysitters and paper pushers, processing the illegal immigrants that were then transported throughout our nation without proper vetting or identification. Tens of thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children remain unaccounted for to this day. This was an intentional and deliberate act on the part of the Biden administration.

The left acts with deference to any “oppressed” or “victim” class. All immigrants, that are not white, are considered “protected” classes. Assimilation is tacitly discouraged by democrat leaders. Immigrants have no incentive, whatsoever, to become part of the American community. Anyone asserting that immigrants should assimilate is met with derision from the left with accusations of racism and white supremacy. That is likely why Tim Walz’s administration in Minnesota ignored the corruption in the Somali Muslim community even after numerous whistleblowers brought the fraud to light. Better to be politically correct than confront criminality, I guess. So, in response, Walz now wants to invite even more Somalis to Minnesota. Good luck with that!

The Quran views non-believers as infidels, and if infidels fail to convert, all bets are off. Apparently, Islam teaches that non-believers are, somehow, less than human and are to be despised. Jesus said the second most important commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. Apparently, the Quran disagrees. Those who would pervert the freedoms afforded in this society and use them against the very people who welcome them, are ingrates, unworthy of the privilege of living in America. Those who support them are simply useful idiots. The true motives of Islamists have never been more apparent and they must be rejected.

Quran 9:14 "Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people." “Humiliating and hurting non-believers not only has the blessing of Allah, but it is ordered as a means of carrying out his punishment and even "heals" the hearts of Muslims.” From TheReligionofPeace.com

Islamism has no place in the western world. American values conflict with the tenets of Islam. Christian values conflict with Islam. Islamic theology devalues anyone who is a non-believer. Islam should and must be rejected. But those trapped within Islam are still our neighbors, beguiled by a false religion. They are lost without Jesus Christ. We are called to plant the seeds of faith, by our actions and words so that the Holy Spirit can nurture those seeds and lead them to God. We can reject Islamism without rejecting those who practice Islam. While they are not yet our brothers and sisters, they are our neighbors, lost without Jesus.

We cannot, of our own volition, bring the lost to Him. But with our actions we can set examples for the lost to see. We do not, by exercising our imperfect earthly tolerance and acceptance, acquiesce that those lost in false religions as our brothers and sisters. Those who do not belong to the fellowship of believers remain our neighbors, who we are to love as ourselves. We should not engage in futile arguments. When our neighbors are being led astray, we need to gently instruct with Christian love. Customs antithetical to societal values must be rejected. Assimilation is necessary to become a part of the community. Adherence to societal norms may be what is necessary to start immigrants on a path that leads to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

“In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity, and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.” Titus 2:7-8
