Infringed

 

One person’s rights cannot interfere with another’s.

“In talking about human rights today, we are referring primarily to the following demands: protection of the individual against arbitrary infringement by other individuals or by the government; the right to work and to adequate earnings from work; freedom of discussion and teaching; adequate participation of the individual in the formation of his government. These human rights are nowadays recognized theoretically, although, by abundant use of formalistic, legal maneuvers, they are being violated to a much greater extent than even a generation ago.” Albert Einstein.

“Trans rights are human rights.” “Black lives matter.” “Affirmative action.” “LGTBI+ rights.” Worker’s rights.” One person’s “rights” cannot supersede another’s rights. One person’s rights cannot negate the rights of another individual. A “right” is to be equally applied. No one can demand special dispensation in the application of his or her rights. Yet that is exactly what the left demands. Arbitrary application and acknowledgement of special privileges to those deemed favored by the mob. The oppressed vs. the oppressors. The aggrieved vs. the subjugators. The have-nots vs. the haves. Poor vs. rich. Black vs. white. It’s getting hard to keep track of all the aggrieved classes.

Each victimized class has one thing in common; They blame everyone but themselves for whatever woes they believe are afflicting them.

·         Reparations are demanded by African Americans for slavery that none of them endured, to be paid by those who never participated in that evil.

·         Taxes are demanded to combat climate change from countries that have reduced emissions exponentially, while China and India, that pollute with impunity, are exempt.

·          Mentally ill persons who engage in the fantasy of gender reassignment demand acknowledgement of chosen pronouns and acceptance of their delusional behavior. And virtue signaling leftists advocate for trans rights.

·          Affirmative action was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, so the left infuses DEI into the nation’s consciousness, disregarding merit and skill.

·          Entrepreneurs invest time, money, and talent, risking their finances to create wealth, products, and jobs while the Democrat Socialists of America advocate to redistribute that wealth in a fairer and more “equitable” manner.

The Marxist playbook uses the same tired strategy that demonizes those they oppose and pits person against person. Marxism destroys unity and fosters an environment of distrust. As long as enough people fall prey to ideology of hatred of their fellow man, Marxism can grow and thrive. And it has gathered quite a throng of believers. What was once a discredited ideology has gained traction among the 18-25 demographic. This newfound popularity helped elect an Islamist-Communist as Mayor of New York City and other avowed Marxists have defeated several long-tenured democrat representatives in Ohio, Colorado, and California. In Wisconsin the leading democrat candidate for Governor is a self-proclaimed Marxist-communist.

This societal drift has been enabled due to the apathy on steroids that has gripped the nation. Social media, with algorithms that rinse and repeat your favorite viewing patterns, has become the primary source of “news” for many people. Some are more interested in the rantings of influencers than paying attention to what really matters. For Marxism to thrive, the masses must be distracted from the priorities that enable a free society to survive. For communism to take root, God must be eliminated from the equation. For freedom to be destroyed, envy, one of the seven deadly sins, must be embraced by the populace. Accepting the premise that taking what is not yours and that which you did not earn, fuels the engine of “democratic socialism.”

A right relationship with Jesus Christ must be first and foremost in our lives. Living a life following Him will emphasize what matters most. Loving your neighbor will enable each of us to value our human rights without denying other people’s rights. My rights are no more important than any other’s and if imposing my rights on others violates their rights, I am in the wrong. Marxism will violate the human rights of those deemed subordinate, productive members of society, by the proletariat. Marxism is real. Marxism is here. Marxism will take over if we fail to awaken from our slumber. Marxism can be stopped and relegated to where it belongs, the trash heap of history.

We can make a statement this November. We can choose to reject the leftward lean of the democrat party. It is up to us to defeat Marxism. You can choose to be part of the solution, or you can sit by and let this nation fall. What say you?

”Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” Franklin D. Roosevelt.

 

Biased

 

US history has been deliberately distorted.

On the 250^th anniversary of the founding of this great nation, many of our young people are disillusioned, ashamed of our sordid past. We have endured decades of leftist academia indoctrinating our youth with the lie that America is inherently flawed due to its past sins of slavery and racism. That America is a colonizer, reaping its riches on the backs of the oppressed. Many young people have accepted this propaganda as fact. Capitalism is decried as an unfair system that rewards the few at the expense of the many. Young people are susceptible to the siren call of socialism, taught as a fairer and more equitable system. That lie is repeated over and over, so “systemic racism enforced by a white patriarchal system” is believed to be an accurate assessment of our society.

·         Is our history of slavery and racial bias unique?

·         Is what has been and is being taught historically accurate?

·         And how do our sins stack up against the rest of the world?

Slavery was abolished after the Civil War in 1865. Europe ended slavery well before. The rest of the Americas ended slavery a few years earlier with the exception of Brazil, which ended it in 1888. Much of Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East continued slavery well into the 20^th Century, with China still employing forced labor of Uyghur Muslim minorities and Tibetans. Other than the European nations, slavery in the United States ended at relatively the same time as other nations, making us no worse than much of the planet.

Racism in the United States, particularly in the south, was pervasive and borderline criminal. Following the Civil Rights Act of 1964, opposed fervently by southern democrats and passed by Republicans, racial equality began to take root into American society. Other nations practiced racism in a quite different manner. Where American minorities were subjected primarily to economic discrimination, other countries eliminated those who were different. Genocide and ethnic cleansing has occurred throughout history, including Armenians in Azerbaijan, Muslim Rohingyas in Myanmar, Ukrainians by Russia, the Yazidis in Iraq and Syria, the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa in Darfur, and the Bambuti pigmies in the Congo, and these occurred after the onset of the 21^st Century. Millions have been murdered or executed due to racism or religion worldwide since the dawn of humans. American “systemic” racism pales in comparison.

The radicals of the 60’s reconfigured their strategies to overthrow the government of the United States. Instead of committing violent acts, they targeted academia. Radical professors have indoctrinated a veritable army of young converts. Public education is rife with teachers that have “learned” the ways of leftism and are teaching our children a new set of values. These “teachers” have sowed seeds of division by undermining the freedoms endowed by our Creator, exhorting these young people to hate themselves and others. Leftist ideology has unduly influenced generations of young people to embrace illegal immigration, transgenderism, antisemitism, socialism and hatred of American values. This shift leftward of our society has left us vulnerable to Marxist vultures circling, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Marxists looking to consolidate power employ these indoctrinated pawns as an army of mindless automatons to promote their agenda. They use the age-old strategy of addition by division, creating an oppressor-oppressed, victim-victimizer, have and have-not argument to bolster their quest to institutionalize democratic socialism. One of the seven deadly sins that continually plagues humankind is envy, and class envy is the fuel that nourishes the engine of socialism.

Also benefiting from our young people’s self-loathing are the Muslims. Taking full advantage of our welcoming and tolerance, they position themselves to obtain positions in government. Once in power, those useful idiots that opened the door for their ascension, are left behind as Sharia law factors into the equation. Europe is discovering the insidiousness of the Muslim plan for dominance. Muslims refuse to assimilate into the culture that they have emigrated. They adhere to their own customs while refusing to acknowledge their responsibility as guests by treating their benefactors with disrespect. While Americans point fingers at each other as we try to out-virtue signal each other, Marxists and Muslims, strange bedfellows, sit ready to pounce. If we ignore the danger in plain sight, we will soon wake up to find a country that no longer resembles the land of the free.

Marxism and Islam are both a clear and present threat and must be defeated. President Trump was correct, the United States will never be a socialist nation, unless we allow it to happen. Sharia law has been instituted in portions of some blue cities. If you want burkha clad women to become the norm, ignore the Muslim threat. Immigrants that refuse to assimilate, abuse the hospitality offered them, and seek to change the culture should be sent back to their country of origin on the next available plane. Those who reside in America, yet hate it, have worn out their welcome. We cannot allow radical minorities create policy for the majority.

The ballot box is the most powerful tool for a representative republic. We have the power to elect representatives that are God fearing and adhere to traditional values. We have the power to be an informed electorate that elect those who would serve, not abuse their authority. Traditional values reprise the majority in this nation, yet our representatives include those who do not and seek to benefit themselves. Pervasive apathy has led to a government that serves itself rather than the people. Vote appropriately and make certain that everyone that you know that holds your values casts their vote this November.

“People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing.” Walter Judd.

 

Accountable

 

Obama intentionally fostered divisiveness and society is paying the price.

In a perfect world, the color of one’s skin would not become the primary identifying factor for individuals. In a perfect world, we would view all members of the human race as brothers and sisters. In a perfect world, nations would be united under the common cause of loving one another as Christ loved us. Unfortunately, our world is broken. Our world has neglected the One who created all things and we have become enamored of the things of this world. Our former and continuing divider in chief, Barack Obama, never ceases to use any opportunity to further divide the nation.

Prior to Obama’s 8 years in the White House, we were well on the way to overcoming our sordid past and evolving into a color-blind society. Once our first black president was elected, it was expected that the racial divide would finally become but a distant and faint memory. But Obama chose to shine a spotlight on our differences and revert back into the community agitator that he truly was. He used his bully pulpit to make certain that any and all racial animosity would be resurrected from the dead and positioned as a fundamental issue into the nation’s collective consciousness. “The police officer acted stupidly,” “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon.” For Obama, there were few incidents that race did not play a prominent role.

One of Jesus’ most important commands was forgiveness. Jesus said, “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. / But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.” Matthew 6:14-15.

Our history is not pretty, but it is no worse than other nations. Slavery and racism were not confined to America. Those detestable acts were part and parcel of developing nations throughout the history of the world. Far too many have lost their lives for far less than what happened during our history. If we dwell upon the past, it can, not only define us, but it can overwhelm us, acting as a cudgel that destroys a right relationship with God.

“Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realizing you were the prisoner!” Max Lucado.

Karmello Anthony, a 17-year-old African American high school student athlete, decided to enter a tent of an opposing team at a track meet armed with a knife. He was looking for an excuse to use his weapon. When asked to leave the tent by a 17 year old white student athlete Austin Metcalf, Anthony responded, “Touch me and see what happens.” After a brief altercation, Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the chest killing him. Anthony has since been convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison. The African American community, especially some of the leaders, are outraged, accusing “the white dominated system” of making an example of Anthony because he is black. When you enter hostile territory and arm yourself with a knife, your self-defense strategy is defective.

The Obama administration championed undeserved scrutiny against law enforcement and defended accused persons of color to recompense past grievances. The President of the United States defended those practices and directed his DOJ to enforce them. That has incited racially charged incidents into needless confrontations that often escalate to violence. The implementation of DEI and CRT further bolster this grievance and entitlement culture among minorities. Virtue-signaling liberal elites, predominantly white, use their influence to further the lie of an unjust, white male patriarchy that systemically instills racism at all levels of society. This helps create the aura of unaccountability for persons who believe they are resisting an unjust and unfair society.

Democrats manipulate those who accept the grievance culture narrative and who want “their fair share” as reparations for past injustices. Democrats can rely on receiving votes from the “underclass” that they have created for themselves by using government largesse as inducements. Even though most receiving those benefits remain trapped in poverty, they falsely believe that democrats are more compassionate and reward them with their votes.

“Their false compassion is called compassion and their false understanding is called understanding, for this is their most potent spell.” Aleister Crowley.

Democrats are the ultimate manipulators. Democrats not only love hypocrisy; they revel in it. Democrats will use any strategy to gain and maintain power, no matter who they destroy in the process. For democrats, those foolish enough to vote them into office are just that, fools they care not about until it is election time.

“We live in a world where unfortunately the distinction between true and false appears to become increasingly blurred by manipulation of facts, by exploitation of uncritical minds, and by the pollution of the language. Arne Tiselius.

Until democrats reject the leftist ideology that has overtaken their party, they must be rejected at the ballot box. Until democrats agree to uphold their oath of office, submit to the rule of law, and advocate for the truth, they cannot and must not hold positions of authority. It is time for our Constitutional Republic to be restored as one nation, under God. In order to have an environment where we can seek a better life, enjoy liberty, and be free to pursue happiness, democrats and their leftist cohorts must be soundly rejected.

Tribalism,

 

Or how to destroy a nation in five six easy steps.

Humans introduced the first machinations of society when they gathered into tribal groups, leaning on each other to provide security, share resources, and form into a community. The strongest among them arose to be their leaders. As more tribes emerged, they began to engage in conflicts with each other, primarily over limited resources, and land. Society continued to evolve, eventually forming nations held together by common beliefs and protections those nations provided. Unfortunately, the tribal mentality persisted, conflicts grew, leading to wars that went beyond resources and land. Wars have since evolved to include conflicts over differing political ideologies and religions.

It is commonly thought that the US Civil War was fought over the issue of slavery. Actually, it was not simply about slavery. The southern states chose to ignore federal laws, asserting States' rights over federal authority, and refused to end slavery because they believed it was essential to sustain their agricultural economy. The conflict began when the southern States voted to secede from the union, forming the Confederate States of America. Unfortunately, history has a way of repeating itself as one political party has established their own tribe and has declared war on the current administration, the rule of law, and the citizens of the United States.

We are on the cusp of another civil war, not fought with weapons of war, but against ideology that is just as perilous.

·         Engage in lawfare - Dangerous and radical warfare divides this nation, with leftists attempting to overturn traditional America. Executive actions by the Trump administration, meant to create a path back to normalcy, are derailed by hundreds of lawsuits filed in sympathetic venues. Radical, leftist judges, that lack the Constitutional authority to do so, constrain the executive branch with nationwide injunctions. Democrat run cities and states refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement, creating “sanctuaries” for lawbreakers. When states ignore federal statutes and judges disregard the law when they happen to disagree politically, that is what creates a real constitutional crisis.

·         Victimize Americans - Democrats have deliberately perverted the rule of law by lifting the “rights” of criminals, in particular illegal alien criminals, over the rights of the victims of crime. Criminals in democrat run cities run amok as democrats support and elect District Attorneys that “decriminalize” the law, refuse to hold law breakers accountable, and release violent offenders back into the community, failing in their responsibility to maintain public safety. Democrats push for “responsible gun reform” so that crime victims will no longer be able to defend themselves.

·         Fight to restrict the 1^st Amendment - Vilifying any viewpoints not in line with the left’s chosen narrative has effectively corrupted free speech. The left’s attempt to control misinformation and disinformation demeans the public’s ability to apply common sense and reason. The leftist strategy of refusing to engage in debate, while overemphasizing the hatred of their political opponents, is embraced by democrats as they foolishly believe it to be an effective avenue to regain political power.

·         Double down on transgenderism and sexual deviancy – Democrats continue to promote the anti-science belief that, somehow, gender is fluid, and up to the interpretation of the individual. They advocate for children to choose their gender behind their parent’s backs when minors cannot lawfully choose to attend a school field trip without parental consent. The left cannot define what a woman is yet believe that men can become women and women can become men. Advances made to equalize women within society have been quashed by this misguided effort to affirm those afflicted by the mental illness of gender dysphoria. Preferred pronouns? Normalizing drag queens and those who identify as animals is ludicrous. Debauchery and deviant sexual behavior contributed to the fall of Rome, and it risks destroying the fabric of society and this nation.

·         Support and encourage Anti-Christianity and antisemitism -  “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” This has become the rallying cry for the democrat party. They accuse Israel of occupying their own country and accuse them of committing genocide while ignoring the heinous Hamas attack on October 7^th. Christianity is debased and Christians are attacked as racist, homophobic, and exclusionary. The nuclear family has been decimated, particularly in the African American community as government entitlements replace the father. Welfare provides just enough benefits to discourage the work ethic of those receiving it.

·         Encourage racial animosity – Democrats use the term racism as a cudgel, employing it as a wedge to divide the nation. Using Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ideology, persons of color are taught to hate white people and white people learn to hate themselves. Forcing children to see skin color as a defining quality of a person is tantamount to promoting racism as an acceptable behavior.

This is what democrats believe will win back the hearts and minds of America. Democrats are engaging in a concerted effort to destroy the very fabric of society. Their foray into this realm of fantasy must end and they must return to normalcy. There is nothing positive in their strategy of dividing and conquering. The democrat party has no answers. The democrat party has no plan for this nation. They only trade in hatred and division. Democrats must be rejected and shunned until such a time as they decide to moderate their positions and work for the betterment of the people they swore an oath to serve.

Democrats and their co-conspirators in the legacy media have placed all of their eggs in a basket that seeks to derail Trump’s agenda, cheerleading for his policies to fail and along with it, this nation. Sowing dissention and creating chaos should never take precedence over bipartisanship while conducting the people’s business. It is time that they are recognized for what they are, obfuscators, impediments against what is right, and purveyors of evil.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.” Isaiah 5:20
