In the Garden of Good and Evil

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.” Edmund Burke.

“The silence of good people is more dangerous than the brutality of bad people.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

“I learned that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.” Nelson Mandela.

Fear is a great motivator in preventing good people from calling out evil for what it is. The fear of being labeled as intolerant, hateful or bigoted is often enough to silence debate. Failure to expose evil in our society has allowed it to grow and flourish. As evil grows, it overwhelms common sense and reason while it extinguishes accepted societal norms and institutes destructive ideologies. Hiding one’s head in the sand or ignoring danger does not protect one from that danger; it will simply render you defenseless. The courage to overcome evil exists in every fiber of every person. Motivation for self-preservation is one of the strongest drives of the human condition. We need only to recognize that allowing evil to prevail will lead to our personal and societal destruction.

In a few short years, leftist ideology has become mainstream, particularly in academia, mainstream media, and the Democrat party. Young people, subjected to indoctrination in our public school system, embrace socialism, even though few understand its’ shortcomings. In socialism the State is paramount. The State becomes the religion and citizens depend on the government to provide for all. Hard work and ambition are discouraged and all are equal. Socialism has failed miserably wherever it has been instituted. The quality of life suffers, production of goods wanes and only the ruling elite benefit. Ronald Reagan said it best, “Government is not the solution to the problem, it is the problem.”

Leftism peddles lie after lie, inundating the populace with empty promises. Leftism promotes egalitarianism and government control of political and economic life. Leftism is radical, anti-capitalism and espouses the use of radical means to reach their goals. Anarchists, Marxists, communists, and socialists all belong to and support leftism. Equity is the calling card of the left. Equity purports to create equal outcomes at the cost of equal opportunity. Tolerance is a tool that dupes the masses into supporting this ideology that breeds inequality. Equity uses our differences to divide us, promoting a new form of racism. The left accuses their enemies of the same tactics they employ, allowing them to deflect blame when their policies backfire.

A house divided cannot stand and the purveyors of leftism understand tactics to divide will allow them to conquer. Leftists also understand that their strategy will not survive a united front of opposition. Recognizing the schemes of the left will allow good to triumph over the evil that is leftism;

Abortion provides a tool to divide and create animosity toward traditional norms. All can agree that every woman should have autonomy over her body. The left falsely accuses their opponents of creating legislation restricting a woman’s right to reproductive health care. Less than 1% of all pregnancies in the US are due to rape or incest and few states have laws that prohibit abortion in those instances. Where our disagreements lie is the right of a pre-born child to have a say in the matter. A woman’s choice does not take into consideration that pre-born human being. Minimize the value of life and all of society loses.

The elimination of sovereign borders by refusing to enforce immigration law creates confusion and overwhelms the immigration system. The tactic to discredit a border wall using the “We must be welcoming, after all, we are a nation of immigrants” rings hollow. Nations without borders are no longer nations.

District Attorneys refuse to enforce laws, encouraging criminals to commit criminal acts without consequence and releasing criminals into their communities to re-offend is the first step on a path to anarchy.

Disregarding accepted societal norms while celebrating deviant sexual behavior. Encouraging children to experiment with alternate lifestyles and gender change, often without parental consent, allows the State to have a greater role in the upbringing of our children, while minimizing parental roles. Drag queen story hour while traditional speakers are prohibited is absolutely insane, but it does create even more division.

The left foments division and strife. America stands at a crossroads, on the verge of falling, not by an invading army, but from within. I for one, will not stand idly by. Will you?

Bitter Harvest

 You reap what you sow….

Unfortunately, Obama’s pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright was prophetic with his “the chickens have come home to roost” rant. They have indeed. The ideology of the left; white supremacy is rampant and a clear and present danger; that every problem in this nation is caused by racism and reparations are warranted; “My body, my choice” or what is actually abortion on demand; pursue the myth of toxic masculinity to villainize men; the persistent devaluation of biologic sexuality and the normalization of (homosexual/transexual/pansexual/bisexual and more; the demonization of faith and family; and the utter rejection of God, replaced with glorification of selfishness. Society has been brainwashed to place the blame for our shortcomings on anyone but ourselves. Society has been indoctrinated to believe that we are above our Creator and to accuse believers as ignorant, hateful, and unwelcoming. Society ignores God’s intended plan for humanity and we all suffer the consequences.

Rather than following Jesus’ teaching to love one’s neighbor, we devolve into tribal animals that hate those who think and look different from themselves. Rather than follow the science of biology and embrace our differences, gender is defined as fluid and biological sex is just a social construct of a patriarchal society dominated by privileged white males. Toxic masculinity is shouted from the rooftops without it even being defined. Rather than celebrating the sacred union of one man and one woman in the bonds of marriage in order to produce and raise children, we promote deviant sexual behavior as normal while persuading our children to, not only accept, but to experiment with these practices. Rather than accepting responsibility for our mistakes and learning from them, we look to place blame at everyone but ourselves. If you think the strife and pain occurring in this world is self-incurred, you would be absolutely correct. We have met the enemy, and it is us. Subtract God from the equation and there is no solution.

There is evil in the world and it is high time that we call it out for what it is. We can no longer trust the mainstream media to expose malfeasance or even report honestly and we cannot trust public education to teach truth, as they continue to try to out-woke each other. The task to instill morals and Christian values to the next generation resides with parents and the clergy. We are called to expose the evil that exists and is growing in our society. If we fail to acknowledge the rise of evil, we will be overcome by it. Far too many seek to just go along to get along, not wishing to be looked upon as judgmental. Problem is, evil flourishes when allowed to spread unabated. If we ignore what we know is wrong, it will not go away. It will grow and fester like an infection that goes untreated. Yes, we are called to love our neighbor, but we are also called to “To teach and not be resentful.  To gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance, leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.”

Failure to act is acquiescing to the evil that is creating havoc in our society. Parents are beginning to wake up, but far too many are still asleep at the wheel. Parents need to take an active role in the education of their children by attending all parent-teacher conferences, monitoring and understanding curriculum, teaching methods and confront School Boards that accept the “woke” agenda. Parents must find the time to take back our School Boards and eliminate the cultural rot that far too many school administrations pursue. A whole generation of our children are being indoctrinated to accept these false ideologies. It is far too late to stand back and let the “system” work it out without active participation by Christian parents. The future of our nation stands in the balance.

Pastors that try to strike a balance of acceptance and tolerance by “not going there” place their congregants at risk to the perception that leftist ideology must not be that bad if there is no one calling it out for what it is, evil. Loving your neighbor does not mean that you must accept every action they practice. Plain and simple, abortion is the murder of a preborn child. Transgenderism is the rejection of God by placing one’s desires above God’s will by the worship of oneself. Critical race theory pits one race against another, degrading another person based upon skin color alone. Racism is racism no matter who practices it. The “New World Order” looks to take away your individual rights, granted by God, to be replaced by a cabal of elites that will dictate our lives the way they see fit. This is evil personified and if we cannot have our clergy call out the evil in this world, they will have failed in their calling. Exposing an evil ideology and calling to reject it is not judgmental; it is simply revealing the truth.

Soon, we will reach the point of no return and our nation will fail. The chickens are in flight and the death throes of our nation have already begun. Question is; will you stand up for your God and nation, or will you just sit by and watch the evil one lead our nation and our children into the abyss?
