Deceived

 

The same bag of tricks.

History repeats if we fail to learn from past mistakes. There will always be the gullible that have the wool easily pulled over their eyes time and time again. Satan has always played from the same playbook with ever so slight variations designed to attack the same weaknesses, varying by humankind’s intellectual development and self-focused “enlightenment.” Our innate selfishness makes us an easy target for a number of strategic attacks by the evil one. Humankind most frequently violates the first commandment, placing ourselves and our needs first and relegating God to the back of the bus. The seven deadly sins are where evil lurks.

·         Pride – Interesting that the LGTBQ+ movement chose pride as their moniker and a rainbow for their logo. Showing utter distain for their maker, they thumb their collective noses at God. They are not alone in their contempt of God. Each of us on a daily basis turn inward to celebrate ourselves as we wallow in our pride. Far too often we believe our success is of our own doing, forgetting the fact that all we are, all we have, and the very world we inhabit are gifts from God. Our pride overwhelms us and drives our overly inflated opinion of ourselves.

“In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.” “In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.” Psalm 10:2 and 4.

·         Envy – Coveting what others have earned is the driving force behind the Democratic Socialists of America’s platform. Class envy, racial animus, and sexual deviancy is the left’s calling card. Leftists are consumed with vilifying those they resent because they have achieved success. This powers their disdain of a society that rewards hard work and achievement. Capitalism is scorned by many of our young adults, while they have been convinced to believe that socialism is the proper way to achieve equality.

“Envy and jealousy stem from the fundamental inability to rejoice at someone else's happiness or success.” Matthieu Ricard.

·         Anger – Paid protesters and ill-informed “true believers” chant slogans that disparage their opponents but fail to provide a valid argument for their cause. Indoctrinated college students truly believe the drivel that Marxist professors have been foisting upon our youth for decades. Leftist women march for causes they fail to understand. Access to abortion, or what leftists call reproductive healthcare, drives women, who likely will never request an abortion, to the polls to elect “pro-choice” democrats to protect the right to murder the unborn, that also seek to fundamentally transform this nation.

“There needs to be understanding that anger never helps to solve a problem. It destroys our peace of mind and blinds our ability to think clearly. Anger and attachment are emotions that distort our view of reality.” Dalai Lama.

·         Overindulgence – 72.4% of Americans are considered overweight. In this land of plenty, we negatively impact our health by overeating. Now we have drugs that help us lose weight, drugs that also include some adverse effects. Reminds one of the vomitoriums in ancient Rome where people gorged on food, vomited so they could go back and gorge some more. Why adopt a healthy lifestyle when drugs can do the trick?

“Self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle.” Billy Graham.

Lust – Today’s leftist democrat party is all about sexual deviancy in the name of compassion, tolerance, and acceptance. Drag queen story hour, curriculum that normalizes homosexuality for elementary students, and hyper sexualization of children through transgender ideology. This is one of the evil one’s most tried and true methods to widen the chasm between God and His children. Sex sells and capitalizing on humankind’s sexuality enables the left to further weaken the fabric of society and create division. Whether or not they realize it, the left is complicit in implementing Satan’s plan.

The foray into sexual deviancy has destroyed many nations without the necessity of an invading army to conquer it. Time and again, Satan uses our carnal appetites to tear apart society and create a new normal that is contrary to God’s will. Unfortunately, this strategy has ensnared many of God’s children.

“Carnal lust rules where there is no love of God.” Saint Augustine.

·         Laziness – A welfare work requirement for the able bodied, without children, is looked upon as a personal affront and a “white supremacy” issue. Able bodied persons should have a work requirement whether or not they are eligible for assistance. Our society no longer frowns upon those who choose to take a handout, even if it is not necessary. Our devices bring all the information that the internet provides, yet many get their information (usually mis or disinformation) from social media. Why read and research when you can mindlessly watch videos that tell you what to think?

“Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes it.” Benjamin Franklin.

·         Greed – Socialists accuse those who have gained wealth through hard work and merit as being greedy. Socialists only want to take what is not theirs and what they have failed to earn. And what their ill-begotten gains will be spent on will be to the detriment of this nation. Christians are called to be radically generous, yet sharing what God has given us seems to elude so many. We can be generous with the gifts God has bestowed upon us.

“The vocabulary of the political left is fascinating. For example, it is considered to be 'materialistic' and 'greedy' to want to keep what you have earned. But it is 'idealistic' to want to take away what someone else has earned and spend it for your own political benefit or to feel good about yourself.” Thomas Sowell.

It should be more than apparent that the democrat party has hitched its wagon to the DSA, and in turn, has taken up the devil’s agenda. Democrats have become quite fond of declaring President Trump and the MAGA movement an existential threat to America. The real threat is a political party that is willing to make a deal with the devil in order to gain and maintain power. If democrats prevail in the 2026 mid-terms, it just may begin this nation’s fall from grace. The United States is a Christian majority nation. If you are willing to let this nation be overcome by evil, stay home in November. If you still believe in the shining city on a hill, cast your vote accordingly. With your help, freedom will live to see another day.

Give Them What They Want,

 

They will get what they deserve.

The headlong rush of our youth and factions of the democrat party into the fatal embrace of radical progressive socialism, or what is more commonly known as communism, is absolutely jaw dropping. The democrat party and the legacy media’s pursuit of the normalization of an ideology that is steeped with utter failure wherever it has been instituted is beyond reason. Democrats have made a deal with the devil, and it is going to cost them elections, and harm the nation as this movement picks up steam. Now that unabashedly communists are winning democrat primaries because incumbent democrats are not “woke” (crazy) enough.

The ultra-woke WNBA has their useful idiot players and coaches advocating for the inclusion of “trans” women in their basketball league after player Sophie Cunningham stated that women should play against women. Two former NBA players, who are now “self-identifying” as women, have declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft. Check and mate! They will be damned if they do and damned if they don’t allow them to compete. This is also known as the law of unintended consequences. When those who are woefully uninformed decide to pontificate on issues that they lack the ability to understand, their words can have dire consequences. The WNBA will now be forced to acknowledge gender identity is not a social construct, or two former NBA stars will dominate the women’s game. Must see TV for me!

Francesca Hong, a self-avowed communista, is currently the front runner in the Wisconsin democrat Governor’s primary. She has declared that she hates Thanksgiving, wants to defund the police, abolish ICE, and accepts the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America, verbatim. When news media confronted her to explain her statements, she did what most democrats do, she lied and said her opinions had since “evolved.” This is exactly the type of candidate that defines the “big tent” democrat party that supports what 80% of the population opposes. Democrat Senator John Fetterman, the same person who suffered a debilitating stroke that left him barely able to communicate, has disavowed the radical leftist lean of his party. He has apparently fully recovered and gained a modicum of common sense that continues to elude the rest of his party.

If people are paying attention, democrats will pay a high price for ignoring the will of the electorate. Their insistence in promoting policies that a large majority of Americans oppose, should cost them numerous Congressional seats. In business, the customer is always right, particularly if your business depends upon return customers. Not so with politics. Politicians will push the envelope as far as necessary to ensure their re-election. The only reason that democrats have ventured into the uncharted territory of “democratic socialism” is that they think they can get away with it. Democrats view the electorate as uneducated masses that can be easily manipulated. They use words like affordability, equity, and fairness when their actions speak a very different language. Even though democrat policies fail to meet their promises, some still take them at their word. And that is exactly why this existential threat to our nation has emerged and is thriving.

The democrat party’s foray into “democratic socialism” is just another lie perpetrated by a party that has lost its way. “Never let a crisis go to waste.” “The ends justify the means.” “The rich need to pay their fair share.” “The world will end in 12 years if climate change is not addressed.” “No kings!” The democrat party has foisted lie upon lie to a gullible electorate. It is truly amazing, with all the information available at our fingertips, that so many have been fooled for so long. The left has been very effective in their propaganda wing, championed by the legacy media, academia, and public instruction. The indoctrination of our youth and the leftist talking heads have created a generation of low-information automatons that are trained to do the bidding of those who would destroy this nation.

Far too many have sat on the sidelines and bemoaned the state of our union. The threat to our constitutional republic is a clear and present danger. If the Democratic Socialist of America succeed in commandeering the democrat party, they will be coming for America. It is not too late to stop them. It is not too late to elect representatives that share traditional values. It is not to late to get off the couch and make your voice heard. Use to power of your vote to make a definitive statement and reject the policies of hate, divisiveness, and envy.

“The goal of socialism is communism.” Vladimir Lenin.
