The Truth About Racism

Posted on by

Anybody who reads my posts or listens to the Revolutionary Insights Podcast knows that the left creates myths about what Christian conservatives believe and passes it off as truth.  The leftist lie now is that we are all racist and white supremists.  They are pushing something known as critical race theory which teaches that everyone is a racist, even if they’re not consciencly aware of it.  Convenintly that means that the white race is the worst of the racist because we have victimized and continue to victimize people based on the color of their skin.  The left tries to say that whites believe they are the superior race and that justifies the white race from keeping other races from achieving.  Therefore, according to the left, whites must be discriminated against to, as they call it, “level the playing field.”

Therefore, the left is fighting racism with racism.

One of the differences between the left and the right is a little something called truth.  The right believes in truth and that truth is found in God.  Since the left either denies God outright, or at least denies the power of God, then they do not believe in truth and they claim that truth is relative to the situation.

So let’s look at the truth about what conservatives believe when it comes to race.  Which race did God say is superior to all the other races?  The answer is God does not place one race over another.  Which race did Jesus Christ die for?  John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”  Jesus died for the human race, not a skin color race.

Is the white race superior?  What is the white race superior in?  Personally, I can’t think of anything.  Does that bother me?  No, because it’s not about race, it’s about people.  It’s not about skin color, it’s about the content of a person’s character.

Are their differences in the races?  Yes there are and those differences are a matter of fact and not opinion.  Does the fact that there are differences between the races mean one race is justified in holding the other races in contempt?  No, because differences in the races does not constitute superiority overall.  For example, the top 10 fastest times ever in the 100-meter dash are all held by men of the black race (https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2019/10/14/meet-10-fastest-men-in-100m-of-all-time/).  IQ tests routinely measure the Asian race higher than whites and blacks (https://www.amren.com/blog/2019/11/race-differences-in-intelligence-in-20-charts/).  Those facts don’t make us victims, they make us human.

Should the races be forced to intermingle?  No, simply because no one should be forced to do anything besides not harm other people.  Force only creates resentment and resistance.

There is a question that no one is asking in America out of fear of retribution from the left who is trying to silence anyone who disagrees with their dangerous opinions.  That question is, do Americans have the right to be racist?  What do you think the answer to that question is?  It comes down to freedom of thought.  In America we are supposed to have freedom of thought.  Meaning, Americans have the right to be racist.  However, that doesn’t mean that a person’s racism gives them a right to hurt another or that out government can build racism into it’s laws and discrimate against someone based on the color of their skin.  After all, how can you legislate thought?  To try to do so is what historically leads to gulags and concentration camps as was found in socialist countries like the old Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.

Why is the left so fixated on race and working so hard to divide us as a people?  Their attempts to fight racism with racism are doomed for failure.  However, the mere fact they’re using racism to fight racism defines them as racist.  So then, what is the truth?  If they themselves are dividing us based on skin color and discriminating against the white people, then that makes them racist.  Therefore, it can reasonably be assumed that their objective is not to end racism, but to put an end to something else entirely.

What could that be?

It’s the old battle strategy of divide an conquer.  Divide people by race in the name of racism and then blame one race for all the problems, whether real or not, that other races face.  Why is it that the left is vilifying the white race, when the left leadership is made up mainly of the white race?  What part of the white race is the left vilifying and discriminating against?  The left is attacking conservatives even if the’re black or hispanic.  Just ask Candace Owens, Ben Carson, Larry Elder, Justice Thomas, or any other black person who doesn’t toe the party line.

In particular they’re attacking Christians despite their race.  The left attacks black Christians and Hispanic Christians, or anyone who dares stand for the traditional moral values of our country and our constitution.  You see, in order for the left to transform this country into socialist-fascist state, they must first destroy our constitution, which is very conservative and which the left says with contempt, was written by old white Christian men.

The goal of the left is not to end “rasicim,” the goal of the left is to end the constitution so it can be replaced with a socialist-fascist state.  Remember, facisim is a form of socialism that allows capitalism to exist as long as the preferred capitalist obey the state.  Why do rich capitalist support the left?  Because the left will eliminate their compeition and allow them to not only remain in business, but the left will increase their wealth at the same time.  Therefore, it becomes good business to support those who would allow them to create a monoply.

If racsism truly exsited to the degree that the left claims, what would be the real solution?  Would it be to attack racism with racism?  The answer to racism is to create people of good moral charcter.  That is something the left cannot do because good moral character is based on the moraity of the Bible and the ony thing the left hates more than the constitution is the Bible.  They might give God lip service, but at the same time they’re denying his power and his laws of morality.

Does that mean we should force people to be Christians?  No, because as I stated ealier force only leads to resentment and resistance.  True good moral character is characterized by love.  It’s hard to be a racist and hurt people when you love them.  Just as Christ died and rose again to save the human race, we as Christians are to love the human race and that kind of love is not predicated on the color of a person’s skin.  Hate is combatted by love, not by more hate.

The left says we hate, but how can they say that when all their own policies are based on racsism and hate?  That is the truth of the matter, but remember, the left doesn’t believe in truth, so they say we cannot hold them to that standard and therefore, whatever they say is truth is truth, even if it goes against what God says is truth.

Try as they might, the left cannot change or alter the truth.  There are natural consequences to ignoring God’s truth and we are suffering as a nation as a result.  The left doesn’t have the answers because how can they have a right answer when they don’t believe right answers are possible because truth is relative to the individual?  Oh, and they don’t really believe that it is up to the individual either, therefore, truth becomes what the government says it is as long as that government is a leftist one.

If you truly want to combat injustice, then the best way to do so is through love and freedom.  That’s what we stand for on the right.

Busting the Left’s Superior Education Argument

Posted on by

The arrogance of the left seems to know no bounds, especially when the topic of education comes up.  I’m not referring to the education that solely goes on within our public school system where schools are failing because of the leftist doctrines being taught in them. I’m referring to education as a whole.

When it comes to the topic of education, liberals believe that we on the right are an uneducated rabble that believes as we do because we’re not as smart as they are.  They strut around like banty roosters preening their feathers cocksure that they are the elite and anyone who doesn’t believe as they do is intellectually inferior.

Is there any truth to the assumption that the left is more educated than the right?  I could go to statistics and see which side has more degrees, but education is much more than just a piece of paper certifying that you have paid for the required hours of classes from an institution of higher education.

As a matter of a fact, let’s go ahead and bust this myth right here and now.  Those of us on the right are twice as educated as those on the left.  Do you know why I can make a bold statement like that?

I’ll illustrate with a personal story from 5th grade.  My teacher, Mrs. Runion, passed out a history test that I was ready to ace.  I sped through the test confident in my answers because history was my favorite subject and I was sure I had answered all the questions correctly.  I finished, took my paper to the teacher and handed it in, then went back to my desk and started doodling on a sheet of paper.  I was the first one done and looked forward to when we got our test results back because I knew I had aced the test and maybe Sherry Nichols, whom I had a crush on, would be impressed.

The next day when it was time for history class I may have shown some signs of arrogance because I knew I had aced the test.  I sat back confidently trying not to look like Barney Fife in my smugness.  Mrs. Runion gathered our tests off her desk and walked around the room passing them out.  I was pretty sure I had scored 100 points, but I would be satisfied with 96.  After all, 96 was still an “A” and Sherry Nichols would be just as impressed with a 96 as she would with a 100.

As Mrs. Runion got to me and laid my paper down on the desk in front of me, I looked up at her and smiled, thinking she must be very impressed with me as well.  Still smiling, I looked down and saw my score.  I gasped in unbelief.  I didn’t hear the gasp, but I saw my classmates look at me.  I was stunned as I sat there staring at a 50?!

How could that be?

I turned quickly and said as quietly as possible so I wouldn’t embarrass the teacher.  “Mrs. Runion, you made a mistake.”

She walked back to my desk and asked, “What do you mean?”

“I got all my answers right.  See, there aren’t any x’s on my paper, but you gave me a 50.”

Mrs. Runion smiled, reached down, and flipped my test over.  “You didn’t answer any of the questions on the back.”

“The back?!  But I didn’t know there were questions on the back!”

“When I handed out the test I told everyone to be sure to answer all the questions.”

“But I did!”

“No, you answered all the questions on the front, but nothing on the back.”

“But, but, but…”

Mrs. Runion smiled and said softly, “Let this be a lesson.  In the future, make sure you look at both sides.”

Mrs. Runion was right and I took that lesson to heart.  Even when it comes to politics and social issues.  Conservatives have seen both sides.  Sadly, my liberal friends are arrogant, believing they are educated when they have only seen one side of the issues.

As conservatives, growing up in our school system, watching TV, going to movies, attending public colleges, we are well aware of what liberals believe because we were taught by liberals what they believe.  The difference is, we turned the paper over and saw the other side.

We listened to parents and grandparents.  We attended church and read the Bible.  We listened to conservatives like Rush Limbaugh or other commentators.  We saw the conservative side as taught by conservatives.

The only thing liberals seem to know about conservatives is what other liberals teach them.  The problem is that the liberals teaching them about conservatives were also taught by liberals and they never listened to what a conservative had to say because we’re just a bunch of right-wing kooks anyway.

That is why conservatives are twice as educated as liberals because we listen to both sides as taught by both sides.  Leftists have only been taught by one side and refuse to listen to our arguments.  Instead, they get angry and close their minds.  Some of them even try to shout us down and the truly closed-minded ones will turn to rage and even violence to keep from listening to the other side.

As it says in Romans 1:22, “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”  Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”

When a person rejects God, they cannot be wise or have understanding.  They can be educated and smart in their area of expertise, but they cannot be wise apart from the wisdom that only God can impart.  Don’t be afraid to turn that paper over and seek God.  Isaiah 55:6 says, “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:”

If you’re a liberal, don’t be afraid to listen to what the other side says about what they believe.  After all, it’s truth you should be after.

The Mantle of Freedom

Posted on by

I have a story I want to share with you about an Uncle who is a veteran of the United States Army.  He served a tour in Vietnam as a gunner in a chopper, I assume the kind that you see in the movie, “Apocalypse Now.”  He saw things over there that gave him PTSD and it’s been something he has dealt with since he returned.  The point is, he served his country and put his life on the line to ensure freedom for himself and his children.

Three years ago, his family put him in a Veterans Administration Long Term Care facility because they could no longer give him the type of care he needed.  It has now been over a year since they have been allowed to see him, or he them.  My cousin recently got a concession from the facility, and this is what the government allowed this army veteran and his family.

  • Only one visitor per visit over the age of 18
  • Visits are only allowed on Tuesdays between 8 am to 2 pm
  • Visits are limited to 25 minutes

Having previously worked in the prison system in both Florida and West Virginia, these are the types of restrictions used for inmates with one exception, the restrictions for prisoners were not as harsh.

Yet, he is now being held prisoner in the very same facility that was supposed to care for him.  He is not allowed to leave, nor has anyone been allowed to visit him in over a year.  Is that the freedom he fought for?  His children have tried valiantly to be allowed by our government to see their father.  That same father had fought for their freedom, but they were repeatedly denied their request all in the name of protecting people from Covid because we are not as smart as the experts who tell us how to live our lives.

What is the purpose of these continued mask mandates, social distancing, vaccinations, and the threat of travel bans if we cannot prove we’ve had a vaccination for Covid-19?  The official government narrative, and since the Democrats have seized power, that includes the media narrative, is that Covid 19 has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, and it is a pandemic to be feared and that only experts in the government can protect us from this deadly virus.  Therefore, since they know best, they must protect us now and in the future.

That protection includes the mandates and restrictions we have been dealing with for over a year.  We have all been affected in negative ways by these restrictions and I argue that there have been no positive benefits from this government interference in our lives.  If you think that a positive benefit has been the saving of lives or the slowing down of the spread of Covid-19, then you will want to finish reading if you value truth.

I hope you value the truth.  I hope you’re not the kind of person who prefers to accept whatever you’ve been told by “experts” because you don’t want people to think you’re dumb or a crackpot.  Have you ever noticed how often “experts” are wrong?  What happens when “experts” disagree?  Who do you believe then?

A good rule of thumb for who to believe, is to ask yourself, is one trying to shut the other one up, or are they defending their position with facts and analysis?

Most likely, you’ve only heard one side of the story, though.  The side that is given to us by a government that has slowly been encroaching on our freedoms for decades.  Now, they have picked up the pace and taken advantage of what amounts to a strain of the flu that was manufactured in a lab in China and released on the world, and here in the United States, our government has taken advantage of a created health crisis to instill fear and to prepare us for the subjugation that some within the government have been planning.

Let’s take a look at the truth.  The death toll credited to Covid has been greatly exaggerated because the CDC created a new measuring stick to measure Covid deaths over the criteria they had been using over the previous 17 years.  The reason they chose to count deaths differently is that if they had been counted based on the previous criteria, the death rate would only be 6% of what the numbers currently say.  Those numbers would not reach the level of a pandemic that was needed by the globalist plan of creating a socialist society by 2030.  Including in the United States!

Covid 19 is a great example of how Democrats and the media are misleading the American people in favor of their own leftist agenda of forcing their globalist (a mixture of Communism and Fascism) goals on the American people.  There was an article on “The Gateway Pundit” by Joe Holt from a few days ago I would like to cite and discuss.

The article begins by claiming masks are dangerous and cites studies by dentists, doctors, health organizations, and even the Mayo Clinic.  Masks are associated with self-contamination because the virus is trapped within the nasal passage.  Masks also hold in moisture, which increases your chances of coming down with bacterial pneumonia.

Masks are even toxic, including cloth masks, because they contain and are made from chemicals and fibers that if breathed in on a regular basis can lead to health issues unrelated to Covid-19.  Carefully read this quote from a CDC-funded report from May 2020, “There were 17 eligible studies.…None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask respirator use and protection against influenza infection,” states a research review in the journal Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses. The data is in, and it shows that infections rose at the same or at an increased rate after mask mandates were instituted!”

Every time, to my knowledge, that the courts have taken up the issue of the governor’s powers to repeatedly issue 60 days emergency rules that limit people’s freedoms, the court rules those mandates to be unconstitutional.  Yet, the left continues to enact what has proven to be unconstitutional rules on the people.  That should give you a clue as to what the Democrats think about the constitution.

Facemasks don’t work and the government knows this.  So why do they continue to pressure and force the American People to wear masks?  It’s a matter of control and getting the people to accept that control, to the point where businesses go bankrupt, we lose our homes and jobs, and we’re not allowed to even visit our elderly parents!  Not even the ones who risked their lives fighting against just the kind of governments that are doing what the Democrat governors and our Democrat President are forcing on us.

It’s time we take a stand as Americans and refuse to comply with the tyrannical and unamerican policies of the Democrats. As Thomas Jefferson said, “When tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”

Let’s begin by calling these masks what they really are.  They are submission rags designed to begin the process of making the American people used to the idea of giving up our personal freedoms for the alleged good of the group.  That, my friends, is the definition of socialism and socialism is exactly what our soldiers have been fighting against ever since WWII.  Our fathers and grandfathers fought against foreign enemies, but as the oath to the constitution says, “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”  It’s now time we take up the fight for our fathers and grandfathers and fight those domestic enemies working to destroy our constitution.  The mantle of freedom has fallen to us!

A Tale of Power

Posted on by

The last four years, when Donald Trump was President of the United States, the media often tried to paint him as a danger because they claimed he wanted to be a dictator and those on the left who fall in line with the Democratic talking points without pause, chimed in and called him a Hitler that was trying to seize power and become a dictator.

Let us pause, step back, and discover what we can by observation of how both parties behave when it comes to using their power to dictate to the people.  By observation of actual events and evidence of rules made and powers invoked, as opposed to mere rhetoric, we can arrive at the truth.

Notable-Quotes

Now that Biden has assumed the office of President, lawfully or not, we at least have his record to compare to Trump and Obama’s records while they held the office.

When it comes to the constitution, rhetoric says that both parties and their leaders esteem the constitution and reverence it.  What do the actions say?

President Trump recognized the division of powers provided for in the constitution between the three branches of government and who shares power between the federal and state governments, plus the people.  When riots and violence erupted in cities across our country, Trump left it up to the local authorities to bring the rioters under control instead of issuing emergency orders and activating the military to do what local government would not.  However, did you notice that the cities that were greatly affected were run by Democrat leaders, whereas, Republican cities were relatively free of violence?

Why was that the case?  The left would argue that Republicans use strong-arm tactics to put down peaceful demonstrations and are racists to boot.  Is that the case, or is there a better and more truthful explanation?  Peaceful demonstrations do not leave billions of dollars worth of damage, burned cities, and dead bodies in their wake.  Republicans believe the main purpose of government is to protect them when they cannot protect themselves.  The riots of 2020 are a prime example of this.

Why then did the Democrats allow their cities to burn?  The Democrat Party has painted themselves into a corner in their effort to transform the country into a socialist utopia.  To achieve this they must sow division and make people believe they are victims of the system, which they define as the Judeo-Christian ethic and conservatism.  By allowing wrongly defined victims to riot, they sow division and encourage an overthrow of the existing order, which as defined by the constitution, is conservative and based on the Judeo-Christian ethic.  Order is kept by law enforcement; therefore, law enforcement must be demonized as an oppressor to spark violence and confrontation.

Twitter

When Obama was President he blamed law enforcement for the riots in places like Ferguson, Missouri.  The truth was the opposite of what the media and Obama said it was.  That is the fact.  Biden continues to turn a blind eye to riots and violence, not because of any belief that it is the responsibility of local government to maintain order, but because those riots and violence serve a purpose for the Democrat Party.  That is why he tries to maintain silence on the topic.

Another way of determining who is more apt to abuse power, the Democrats or Republicans, is to look at how Governors and other officials handled the Covid-19 panic.  The Democrat governors responded with emergency orders that enslaved the people to such restrictions that businesses failed, mental health declined, and people were prevented from making a living for their families.  The courts consistently ruled that the policies of Democrat governors were unconstitutional, but that did not prevent them from seeking other ways to keep their draconian policies in effect.

Look at this quote from the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer.  “We need this transition period to protect the 830,000 Michigan workers and families who are depending on unemployment benefits to pay their bills and put food on the table, and to protect Michiganders everywhere who are counting on their leaders to protect them.”  https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2020/10/are-michiganders-still-living-under-coronavirus-orders-gov-whitmer-asks-supreme-court-to-clarify.html

Let’s break down that quote to see the difference between what conservatives believe and the left.  The transition period she is talking about is the period of time between when her actions are called unconstitutional and when she will accept the court’s ruling.  To a conservative, no transition period is needed when her actions have already been declared illegal.  She is defying the courts and saying that her actions, although illegal, are needed.  That sounds more like a dictator than anything Trump ever did.

She then called the 830,000 people affected by her illegal orders “workers.”  Have you ever noticed how often Democrats use the language of the communist manifesto?  People are not workers, they’re people!  She said those “workers” were depending on the government to put food on the table, all the while those people would prefer to work to put food on their tables by their own efforts and not be dependent on the government.  A condition which was created by Mrs. Whitmer!

She then goes on to say that the reason her illegal directives were needed was to protect Michiganders everywhere from Covid-19.  Implying that people are not able to protect themselves and they need their government leaders to protect them from what has turned out to be nothing more than a bad strain of the flu.  The numbers do not support the panic hoisted on America from a media creating a crisis and a political party who would use that manufactured panic to oust a President they hated.

Reddit

In actions, Trump did not abuse his power.  Everything he did was within the constitution and he never failed to honor the verdict of a court.  He used the courts if he thought they were wrong, but he never did what the Democrats have done across the nation by trying to keep their illegal directives in place even after declared unconstitutional.

One last thing to look at is the use and abuse of executive orders. The closest thing America has to dictatorial power from our President is the use of the executive order which he can issue directly, effectively making laws outside the authority of the legislative branch.  Here are the numbers for the last six Presidents in their first month in office.  The higher the number, the more they have used this near-dictatorial power.

  • Biden (D) – 22
  • Trump (R) – 7
  • Obama (D) – 9
  • G. W. Bush (R) – 2
  • Clinton (D) – 2
  • G. H. Bush (R) – 1
  • Reagan (R) – 1

Tell me again which President and which party uses more executive orders to circumvent the legislative branch?  The 4 Republicans used a total of 11 while the 3 Democrats used a whopping 33 executive orders!  That averages 2.75 for Republicans and 11 for Democrats.  Incidentally, the record holder for the numb er of executive orders in his term belongs to Democrat Franklin Roosevelt who issued 3,728 in his nearly 12 years in office!  https://www.westernjournal.com/bidens-executive-order-numbers-compare-last-6-predecessors/

Therefore, which party based on the riots, Covid-19, and Executive orders is more likely to wield their power haphazardly and in dictatorial fashion?  The Democrat Party has by far demonstrated a more dangerous abuse of power and a greater willingness to ignore the constitution.

The Democrat Attack on Morality

Posted on by

The Democrat Party has declared war on Biblical morality.  They are not subtlely attacking the moral foundation of this country as they did in the past.  No, now they are openly attacking God, Christians, and Biblical Morality with an all-out frontal assault.  The question is, will they win?

Isaiah 5:20 says, Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

How do we know the difference between good and evil?  II Timothy 3:16 says, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

Either God defines good and evil, or man does.  When God defines good and evil and we follow God’s directions which are given to us because of God’s love for us, then we are able to live a life more abundant and freer from the natural consequence of sin.  A life of peace and harmony.

If man defines good and evil, then each of us has a different set of values, which leads naturally to conflict.  After all, what happens when your idea of evil is the same as my idea of good?  That leads to division, chaos, and anarchy.

For example, let’s look at something as simple as the rules of driving a vehicle.  When it comes to traffic lights, we all know to stop on red, use caution on yellow, and go on green.  What happens when one set of drivers tries to change those rules so that red means go, yellow means, speed up, and green means stop?  What kind of chaos would that lead to?  What kind of confusion would that cause for our children who are going to be driving someday?  What kind of road rage incidents would happen if we followed two different sets of traffic rules?  I’d be mad at people who believed red meant to go and they’d be mad at me for not accepting their change of the rules that green means to stop.

Think of our children who are observing us drive so that they will know how to be a safe driver and avoid accidents once they take to the road.  They will have to decide who to believe.  They might become so confused that they make up their own rules which brings them into conflict with even more drivers.  They might even become confused about other rule changes, such as if they’re male or female.  What would happen to the suicide rate for those who can’t handle all the conflict these new rules are causing?

Here’s where the real problem comes that most people don’t think about.  We are not born with a blank slate that we fill in through education and observation.  We are born with innate knowledge.  We are born with a knowledge of good and evil which is given to us at birth by God.  We are born with a conscience.

If we were born with the innate knowledge that red means stop, yellow caution, and green go, then a political party comes along and tries to change the rules, imagine the division, confusion, and chaos that would create.  The Democrat Party argues that if everyone would just accept their “fact” that red means go, then there would be peace and harmony.

The problem is, to use the traffic light analogy, God has given us an innate knowledge that red means stop.  That means that the left has to constantly be in a state of reeducation of the masses.  Eventually, as happens in socialist societies, people don’t seem to get it, so the socialists turn to force and coercion.

What happens to society when one party tries to change the rules that we have gone by throughout our history?  II Timothy 3:1-5 says,

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

For the last two thousand years, since God’s Word has been completed, Christians have often thought that described their generation.  After all, those kinds of people have always existed because people reject God.  What’s different this time?  This time, in America and around the world, there is an organized political effort to change good into evil and evil into good.

The Democrat Party gives God lip service, but not only denies his power but openly works against God.  After all, as shown in my book, “Where’s the Party?,” the Democrat Party rejects all 10 of God’s commandments.  What about “Christians” who continue to support the Democrat Party and its policies?  As God says in II Corinthians 6:14, Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Matthew 6:24 says No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Psalm 38:20, They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

God has defined good and evil in his word.  As it says in Joshua chapter 24, choose ye this day whom ye will serve.  Are you going to be an adversary of God and continue to support a party and principles which are anti-Christian, or are you going to agree that God sets the rules of good and evil?

One way brings division, chaos, and eventual anarchy, which will enslave our children.  The other way brings peace and harmony.  Which do you choose for your children?  The Democrat Party might be able to sow division and promote their anti-Christian agenda today.  And eventually, their globalist idea will be achieved, but only after Jesus Christ has raptured Christians from this earth.  That time period is known as the Great Tribulation.  Jesus will return and destroy his enemies.  God wins.  God always wins!

 

The Truth About Minimum Wage

Posted on by

Why do Republicans Oppose the Minimum Wage?

I decided to do a podcast on the subject of the minimum wage because of how the Democrats are trying to get it passed through the Covid-19 bill.  It seems a lot of people don’t quite understand the truth behind why increasing the minimum wage is a bad idea, and it goes beyond mere economics.

I didn’t want to simply give my opinion of why the left says conservatives oppose a minimum wage hike, so I found a leftist site that gave the top 5 reasons Republicans oppose the increase.  The author claims to be writing satire, but his article reads more like the talking points of Democrats and the media, so I think it’s safe to say he was being honest.  I do know there was nothing funny about the article.

Here are the top 5 reasons:

  1. They’re A-holes
  2. Raising the minimum wage might help reduce crime and violence
  3. Raising the minimum wage might keep people off welfare and other social assistance programs
  4. Raising the minimum wage is gateway social policy
  5. Hitler raised the minimum wage too!

Listen to the podcast to hear my take on this list of reasons, but I don’t want to get bogged down on what somebody else wrote.  Let’s talk about the truth of how the left and the right see the American people.

If you look at the Democratic Platform and how leftists address Americans, they usually call us workers.  That will sound familiar to anyone familiar with Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto.  To the left, that’s how they see people, whereas the right tends to see people as individuals with rights that are husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers.  People are not workers, they’re people!

It’s great if you work because you love your job, but people do not work for the sake of working – they work so that they might enjoy the fruit of their labor.  They work so that they might not only support their family but so that they can be a family.

The Democrats, with dreams of a socialist utopia, forget that in their march towards socialism they are leaving families in the dust as they try to dismantle this nation so they can then rebuild it into a worker’s paradise.  In the meantime, those workers they say they care so much about, are worried more about their families and the future of their children than they are about their job.

So, why do Republicans oppose increasing the minimum wage?  Because we care more about families than we do building a worker’s paradise.

My Encounter with an Angry Black Man

Posted on by

As I was walking back to my house the weekend before Inauguration Day 2021, my neighbor from across the street and a block south, called out to me, so I crossed over to talk with him.  As we were talking I heard a voice behind me say gruffly, “How are you?”

I know that was a question and I was supposed to write “he asked gruffly,” but his tone was more a formality than a question.  I turned, smiled, and said, “I’m doing just fine!  How are you?”  My exuberance was at a higher level than usual, which surprised me since I’m usually more subdued by nature.

The gruff man was wearing a white hoodie that he had pulled up over his head, baggy pants, and a rather disheveled look in the manner he was wearing his clothes and the way his shoulders were stooped over.  He was a dark skin black man, maybe in his late 30’s, who had a weathered look and a scraggly beard which appeared to only grow from his chin.

As he passed behind me on the sidewalk he uttered, “Not too good.”

So, naturally, I asked, “What’s wrong?”

He stopped a few feet past me, turned half-way toward me and while looking down said, “I’m surprised you asked me that.”

I laughed and asked, “Why would you be surprised I asked you that?”

He hesitated, then replied, “Because I’m black.”

I once again laughed and said, “What?  I wasn’t supposed to ask because I’m white?”

“Well, I didn’t think you would.”

“What makes you think I wouldn’t care how you’re doing?  just because you’re black and I’m white?”  He didn’t immediately respond so I asked another question.  “Are you buying into what the media is telling you, that there’s a big racist divide in this country and white people don’t like black people?”

He nodded his head “Yes,” and said, “It’s a crazy world.  Kids are killing their parents and burning things down and lying about people.”

I responded by agreeing and added, “It sounds to me like you’ve bought into to some of those lies.  I’ll tell you who’s lying to you, it’s whatever your source of information is that is telling you white people are against black people.”

He continued standing with his head down, so I asked, “What’s your source of information?  Where are you getting this?”

He said that he got his news from his phone and I recognized his “Breaking News” source came straight from an Apple app.  He was listening to the liberal news media and he was an angry black man.  “Let me tell you what the truth is.  Do you think I’m a racist?”

He looked at me, still with that anger in his eyes and replied, “Well, you’re white and I’m black.”

I laughed and said, “We live in a mixed neighborhood.  If I was a racist would I choose to live in a mixed neighborhood?”  I then pointed to the neighbor I had been talking to and asked, “Would he live in a mixed neighborhood if he was a racist?”

His countenance softened and he said, “Probably not.”

“No, we’re not the ones lying to you.  The media is lying to you.  Why do I think the media is lying to you?”

He looked at me and said, “I don’t know.”

“I’ll tell you why, but first let me ask you a question.”  He nodded and so I continued, “Do you think Donald Trump is a racsist?”

“I don’t know,” he answered and I could tell he was listening instead of reacting to it with the anger he had been displaying just a few moments before.

“The left loves to say Donald Trump is a racist and so are the people who voted for him.  Where do they get that?  Did he win some kind of award for being a racsist?  No, but he did win some awards for helping the black community.  He used to be ‘loved’ by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson before he was President.  So what changed?  I could prove more easily that Joe Biden is a racist than I can Donald Trump, so why then would the Democrats and the media, which supports them, lie to you about us?”

He looked at me and asked, “Why?”

I said, “Have you ever heard the term, divide and conquor?”  He nodded that he had.  “That’s why.  They’re trying to divide us so they can conquor us.”

The conversation continued in a political vein as I told him what conservatives really believed, as opposed by what the media and Democrats say we believe.  After all, they’re two very different beleifs.  As I did so he said, “You’ve opened my eyes to some things.”

“I’ve opened your eyes to the truth and you recognize truth when you finally hear it.”

The neighbor excused himself and went back inside.  When he did so, the formerly angry black man introduced himself as Mr. Hubbard, so I gave him our names and shook his hand and said, “See, I’m not afraid to touch you because you’re black or because of Covid.  I’m not afraid of either.”  For the first time, I saw a hint of a smile cross his face.  He told me his story at that point, about having been in a gang in his youth and how he had been recently falsley accused by a woman of holding a knife to her throat.

I told him, “Then you understand what it is to be falsley accused.”

He responded by saying, “Yes, like Trump and Jesus.”

By this point I had determined not to be distracted by politics.  I said, “There’s something much more important I need to tell you about that is a lot more important than politics.”  I then asked, “If you were to die today and stand before God and he were to ask you, ‘Why should I let you into my heaven?,’ what would you say?”

He hesitated and said, “I’d tell God that I hoped he’d let me in because I know I don’t deserve it, but I’d hope he’d let me in because I really want to do good.”

With understanding and compassion I replied, “That won’t work because you can’t be good enough and all God will see is your sin.  It only takes one to keep you out, and my guess is you’ve committed more than one.”

He nodded and said, “I used to be in gang and so I did a lot of things I shouldn’t have.”

I asked, “Would you like to know that when you die and stand before God, that you have the right answer and that you can know you will be accepted into heaven?”

“Yes I would.”

“You’ve already admitted you’re a sinner and that you don’t deserve to get into heaven, and that’s the hardest part for people to admit.  So, you’ve already done the hardest part.  Now all you have to do is to ask God to forgive you of all those sins and put your complete faith in Jesus Christ who died and paid for those sins on the cross so that when you stand before God he doesn’t see your sin, but instead he sees the righteousness of Christ, who is God, and his blood covers your sins.”

I asked, “What is the most precious substance on earth?”  He responded, “water?”  I said, “The most precious substance is blood.  Without blood you can’t live.  Once you’re saved, when you get to heaven and God looks at you he doesn’t see your sin because it’s covered by the blood of his son and he only sees the rightousness of Jesus Christ.  That way, he can let you into his heaven.”

I then paused and asked, “Would you like to be saved?”

Without hesitating he said, “Yes, I would.”

I said, “I’ll pray first and then you pray.  These aren’t the words of some kind of magic formula.  All that is required for you to be saved is for you sincerely believe that you’re a sinner and confess that to God when you pray.  Then ask him to forgive you and save you so that when you die you will go to heaven based on what Christ did for you on the cross and not because of anything you’ve done.  Do you understand?”

He once again nodded so I prayed a brief prayer in which I once again went over the plan of salvation as given in the Bible.  That if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrightousness.  I emphasized that it’s important to be sincere and not to pray hoping for a sugar daddy, or because we want anything more than salvation.

It then became his turn to pray and he prayed one of the most powerful prayers I have ever heard.  I listened carefully to make sure that he understood salvation and the importance of asking forgiveness and asking Jesus Christ to save him from his sins.

He did so.

The anger was gone.  It had been replaced by a joy that is only understood by those who have prayed that same sinner’s prayer and been sincere.

He thanked me for opening his eyes and we talked for a bit more about the importance of getting into a good Bible believeing church so he could grow in knowledge of who God really is.  Just like in politics, find out what people believe and not what the enemies of those people say they believe.  Find out what God says about salvation and who he is, not what his enemies say about him.

The next time you encounter anger, counter that anger with God’s love.

Good News for Trump Supporters During This Crisis

Posted on by

By Bill Hawkins

Many conservatives are angry at what they see as an attack on the Trump economy.  The response to the COVID-19 virus is seen as an extreme overreaction that is unprecedented in our lifetime.  We conservatives do not trust the mainstream media, and so when they fan the flames of fear and panic that they have created, then in the immortal words of Patrick Henry, “I smell a rat.”

However, I come bearing good news.  Trump is going to defeat the Democrats at their own game! Once that dawned on me this morning, all my concerns about the economy and the Trump-bashing the media has been doing evaporated.  I’ll be glad to let you in on why I believe Trump will overcome and why this latest tactic by the media will fail, just as the Russia Hoax and Ukrainian Phone Call Fiasco failed.

Before I get to that, let me explain why we conservatives are upset at the media for this attack on our economy.  Did the Democrats create the COVID-19 virus and launch it against America?  No.  Do conservatives not care what happens to people who contract the virus?  Of course, we care.  If we care, then why are we upset at the response to this crisis?

To answer that question, let’s look at this crisis in the context of history.  I used to tell my students in the classroom that whenever the media starts crying “crisis,” we as Americans need to do two things.  First, grab your wallet because someone is after your money.  Second, protect your freedoms because someone is after those freedoms.

How often does the media cry crisis?  They do it every chance they get because it makes them the center of attention, which in turn makes them money and gives them power.  Health issues are especially beneficial to them because everyone wants good health.  Since the media is over 90% liberal, and liberals seem to thrive on fear and emotion, then anything that might threaten their health instills a massive amount of fear into them.  Conservatives tend to be more optimistic and realistic; therefore, we don’t have that same level of fear.  I think it also has something to do with our faith.

So when news of this new virus from China reached us, we remembered the other outbreaks which originated in China and rightly became concerned.  However, the media doesn’t want us concerned, they want us glued to the TV.  So, they did what they do best.  They created a panic in this country like they do whenever there’s a shark attack.  After all, it means ratings.

Combine that penchant for overhyping with their total disdain of Trump, and conservatives get suspicious.  Before COVID-19 the media lamented that a strong economy was Trump’s greatest strength.  Some leftists even suggested that Democrats needed to do something to harm the economy so they could get rid of President Trump.  Do conservatives believe the media and Democrats would intentionally scare the public to the point it hurt our economy?  There’s no doubt they would do that.  Do conservatives believe that is what happened with COVID-19?  Yes!

The reason being, comparatively speaking, COVID-19 has been less dangerous than nearly all the other flu epidemics that have hit this country.  Don’t forget, between April 2009 and 2010, 12,469 people died from the H1N1 flu.  During that crisis, and the others before, or even after it, the response was not to shut down businesses and events.  People did what they could to protect themselves, but the economy was not attacked by closing down businesses or canceling events.  So, since this is unprecedented in our lifetime, it’s only natural that conservatives see this overreaction as an attack on Trump and his economy.

Also, during this flu season, there has been at least 22,000 deaths.  Compare that number to the 97 COVID-19 deaths reported by the CDC and you can see why we think the response is not proportionate to the actual threat.  Conservatives care about people.  Not only do we care about people’s physical health, but we also care about their financial health.

When Adam Silver, the left-wing Democrat Commissioner of the NBA shut down the season, it started a domino effect that has led to job losses and mass hysteria.  Was Silver politically motivated to shut down the NBA?  I believe it played a part in his decision.  His innate fear caused him to worry and his leftist beliefs made it a case of killing two birds with one stone.  After all, anything that hurts Trump, they would reason, helps them.

So why am I so optimistic that this media-manufactured hysteria is going to be good for Trump and backfire on the Democrats?  Because Trump is beating them at their own game.  What would be the Democrat’s response to COVID-19 had they been in power?  They would have used the power of the federal government to ease its impact.  That’s just what Trump is doing.  That’s why the governors of California and New York, two Democrat governors, praised his response.  Even Omar, the socialist Muslim congresswoman from Minnesota has praised the response of Trump.  He’s doing what they would have done, so now they can’t say vote for the Democrat because the Democrat will do things differently.

Does that mean Trump has caved to the Democrats?  No, not at all.  The difference between the Democrats and Trump is that Trump is a capitalist.  He created a booming economy by unshackling it from Democrat policies and he’ll do the same once this “crisis” is over.  What Trump has that the Democrats don’t is a belief in capitalism and that belief will save this country from total economic chaos and lead to his reelection come November.

How the Democratic Party Violates the Third Commandment

Posted on by

By Bill Hawkins

What does it mean to take the name of God in vain? It seems by popular culture standards all that means is we are not to say “God damn.” At one time in this country that was a rare combination of words to hear, but presently it has become a common form of speech. But is that all it means in Exodus 20:7 when it says, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.”

Taking the name of the Lord in vain is much more than using profanity. When you take something in vain, you are saying it has no power, that it means nothing, that it is useless. The name of God is invoked, but since the person invoking it doesn’t believe in God’s power, that person is giving lip service to God. Giving lip service to God is breaking the Third Commandment.

In a previous article I compared the 2016 platforms of the Republican and Democratic Parties and discovered that the latter did not even mention the name of God in their platform. In that same article I also mentioned how the Democrats believe the highest authority in our lives is government. Titus 1:16 states, “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”

Let’s use former Vice-President and current Presidential candidate Joe Biden as an example of using the name of God in vain when he was asked for his stand on abortion and faith during the 2012 Vice-Presidential debates. His response was, “My religion defines who I am.” He then went on to talk about how he has been a practicing Catholic his whole life and that he accepts his church’s doctrine that life begins at conception, then added, “… I refuse to impose that on others.” 

How is it logical that our pubic and private beliefs on such a life and death issue can differ? If Joe Biden really believed his church’s doctrine, as he said, then he would support his church over his party. However, he stated he believed it was wrong to impose the will of God on people who don’t believe like him. Since when is God’s will an imposition that can be ignored?

He began his statement on abortion by saying, “It has particularly informed my social doctrine. Catholic social doctrine talks about those who, uh, who uh, can’t take care of themselves.” I ask you, who is less able to take care of themselves than a baby in the womb?

The reason Joe Biden and other Democrats who claim to be religious, yet oppose the will of God, is because they really do not believe in the power of God. They simply give God lip service, as Joe Biden did during the debates.

Isaiah 29:13 says, “Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:”

In the Democratic Party the precept of men says that the most defenseless human on this earth can be legally murdered. If they truly feared God, they surely would not support taking the life of a baby.

Let’s go back to the 2012 Democratic National Convention and revisit the time half the delegates booed God. Did the 2012 Democratic Convention really boo God? The truthful answer is at least half, if not more, of the delegates did boo the failure of the chair to remove the mention of God from the platform.

Why would a political party not mention God in their platform? Not even a token mention of God? If a token mention of God by people who don’t believe in the power of God could be seen as a classic example of taking the name of God in vain. Then how much worse is leaving God out of the entire platform? That goes from giving God lip service to open hostility.

The Democratic Party has shattered the third commandment of God, because they have moved from lip service to contempt. Any argument otherwise is merely an effort to put the head in the sand so as not to face the truth.
