False Pretenses

 

 Hate and lies cannot continue to reign.

The new reality that DEI has inflicted upon this nation discounts merit and rewards specific attributes of those deemed to matter more than others. The days of working hard and earning a promotion are considered relics of a bygone era. Common sense is excoriated as a symptom of white supremacy, rooted in racism and homophobia. Equality is no longer a goal for all, those who are deemed oppressed due to skin color or gender orientation, require a head start to level the playing field so that everyone has an equal outcome, regardless of effort. Anyone denying their birth gender must be respected, but somehow, are not required to respect any opinion that offends them. Mental illness and sexual deviancy are to be celebrated and revered by society. History is being rewritten by those who once were the dregs of society, now elevated by woke ideology in this new age of enlightenment.

History isn’t the only norm being edited and/or cancelled out of existence. Once accepted truths are substituted with the fabrications of a corrupt, biased media. Edicts from the self-appointed ruling elite countermand the responsibility to serve and represent. As we approach a tipping point in this nations’ evolution, some things are self-evident and no manner of insane wokeness will ever change that. We are all created by a God that loves us, made in His image, for His purpose. That Jesus Christ went to the cross for us, taking all of humankind’s sin, rose and defeated death so that we will have a place with Him for all eternity. We are all created with an emptiness in our hearts that can only be filled with the love of Christ. We were carefully made to love our God and Creator.

Woke culture is inspired by the evil one. Those who are overcome by evil use the appealing words of diversity, equity, and inclusion to deceive those into loving the things of the world. The democrat party, simply put, is in league with the devil and promotes the works of his hand. The democrat party rejects the living God and revels in the lies of the evil one to gain and maintain power. It is time for good Christians to reject the lies and the evil of this world. It is time for good Christians to choose godly men and women to lead this nation. No, there is not a savior that is of this world, but we can use our vote to put in place those that would lead according to God’s will. No party is pure, just as all people are flawed and fall short of the glory of God. God’s word is an instruction manual for His people. If one dwells in His word, it becomes apparent as to what is truly evil in this world and how we can reject it.

We must reject the hatred spewed by the democrat party and their surrogates in the media. We must engage in the tough love of our neighbor and rebuff the dangerous woke ideology so that they can change the error of their ways and embrace our Lord and Savior once again. Keeping them in authority will only validate their march away from Him and embolden them to continue to enact more of their evil policies. If we decide to stand idly by and allow this insanity to overwhelm us, we abandon our responsibilities as followers of Christ and citizens of this nation. Once evil takes firm rooting, it becomes more and more difficult to excise. It is become customary to call each election, “the most important in our lifetime,” but this election will decide the course of this nation going forward. Do we want to be ruled by godless elites that will continue to persecute their stated enemies, Christians, conservatives, and traditional Judeo-Christian value and morals, or do we want to facilitate the return to normalcy?

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:10-12

The Woke Inquisition

 

There is still time to reverse course

Confess heretic! Confess wrong thinker! Today, woke “Inquisitors” search tirelessly for anything that can emasculate their foes. Unfortunately, for those deemed as “wrong thinkers”, any meme posted on the internet is there forever. It may take gleaning numerous pages, posted years ago, but rest assured if you have offended, you will pay. Think you can go back and delete any offensive material, think again. If it was once there, it will always remain somewhere to be found. Those of the “cancel culture” are ravenous and their thirst for blood is unquenchable. That humorous e-mail that you forwarded or posted on Facebook, will become fodder for those who revel at destroying others.

Speech or actions deemed appropriate for the times in which they occurred, are described as racist, sexist, homophobic, trans-phobic, or simply unacceptable to the Left’s ever-changing standards. Statues that honor anyone that offends the sensibilities of the left are defaced or torn down. Longstanding institutions must bow down and grovel at the altar of the “woke” Left by virtue signaling their support for all manner of depravity that so permeates the Left’s ideology. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln are now judged to be racists and must be erased from history. What’s next, book burning?

Jon Gruden sends off a litany of offensive material via e-mail, and it’s not enough to simply destroy him. The rest of the NFL are deemed equally evil and demands are made to release all e-mails in order to find others that can be destroyed. You were once young and foolish, not held responsible for your juvenile misconduct? No excuses allowed by the ever-tolerant left. MLB players Josh Hader, Trea Turner and Sean Newcombe were vilified for offensive tweets made in their teen years. Just as malevolent nations like North Korea have thousands of internet hackers searching for vulnerabilities of their enemies, the Left intends to destroy anyone with the audacity to challenge their inane ideology of hatred, division and racism.

We are to forgive others as God has forgiven us. With the left, there is no forgiveness, only retribution and revenge. “Love trumps hate” was the Left’s rallying cry during the Trump administration. This could not be further from the truth. Hate and divisiveness are the driving forces in the left’s unabated assault on our freedoms and civil society. Responsibility for your own actions? It is all about blaming someone else for one’s shortcomings and failures. Got to find a boogeyman to blame, so white supremacy and white privilege is the new strawman. Admittedly, the road to equality in the United States has been a long and arduous path. Our past sins are many and troublesome. This attempt to perpetuate the mistakes of the past is foolhardy. There was hope that Barack Obama would finally unite our nation, eliminate racism, and achieve lasting equality. Unfortunately, those hopes were shattered by divisive comments made from his bully pulpit. Our nation and our people are not perfect, nor will we ever be. We all make mistakes. We all hurt those we most love.

Those who have endured within the rise of China, the Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela and other nations who embraced leftist ideals can see the similarities of the path our nation is traveling. Those governments sowed division by utilizing class warfare. Our new “democratic socialism” divides by race, creating a new generation of racism and bias. This does not “level the playing field”. It is simply perpetuating our past critical mistakes. Barack Obama said in 2014, at the College Opportunity Summit, “The premise that we’re all created equal is the opening line in our American story.  And we don’t promise equal outcomes; we’ve strived to deliver equal opportunity -- the idea that success does not depend on being born into wealth or privilege, it depends on effort and merit.  You can be born into nothing and work your way into something extraordinary.”

Who can ask for more than that? The destructive ideology that is the left must be rejected. Cancel culture must be cancelled. Our history is what it is. Let us learn from it and not make the same mistakes again. Let us unite as a nation. Let us learn from the words of Jesus, “Love one another as I have loved you.” It is time to move forward and work toward the goal of providing for the common good. Who will step up and lead?
