Democrat Party Strategy to Undermine our Foundation

Posted on by

By Bill Hawkins:

We often hear conservatives and Republicans say that the Democrat Party is trying to destroy the country. Just what does that mean and is there any evidence for the assertion?

When conservatives say the Democrats want to destroy this county, they do not mean they’re trying to destroy it as a foreign enemy would attempt in a time of war. They are not dropping bombs or forming armies to squash resistance (Antifa notwithstanding).

The Democrat strategy is to transform this country into a socialist state in another attempt to make the utopian dream of Karl Marx work. The problem they face is that the United States Constitution is a very conservative document that protects against centralized power. Since centralization is the key to socialism, then the constitution must be so altered or destroyed, so as to make an all-powerful national government possible.

Bible ConstitutionTherefore, the key for the Democrat Party is to undermine the foundation of the constitution and the pillars of support that give strength to our Constitutional Republic.

This nation was founded on Christian principles as noted by John Adams, our second President, who said, “This constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Patrick Henry, signer of the Declaration of Independence said, “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.”

Democrat policy, or strategy, is designed to undermine the above foundation of our country with the purpose of effectively destroying our constitution. As evidence, to discredit our founders they attack them as white male slaveholders. That is why you see the current racist policy of calling all whites racists.

They call our founders racists because they inherited the institution of slavery and failed to abolish it immediately even though most of them were against the practice. At the same time, they conveniently ignore the fact that white men fought and died to abolish the practice as evidenced by Republican President Abraham Lincoln and the soldiers of our Union who fought the Democrat-controlled South during the Civil War.Revolutionary Insights

Since the founders were predominantly Christian, they must also attack Christianity, which is evidenced by their attack on Biblical Morality. Why do Democrats support the LGBTQ community? It is because LGBTQ is opposed by Biblical morality. Why do Democrats support abortion? It is because abortion is opposed by Biblical morality. Why do Democrats support eliminating public prayer and displays of the 10 commandments, crosses, and manger scenes, it is because those public displays invoke our Biblical Heritage.

The Democrat Party ran an open socialist, Bernie Sanders, for President. There are over sixty Democrat members of Congress who identify as Socialists. The party platform itself addresses the people of America as workers, just as Karl Marx addressed the people as workers.

Therefore, when a conservative or Republican says that the Democrats are trying to destroy America, they are doing so based on the evidence as it exists. When just about all Democrat policy is based on undermining the constitution and its support, then it’s safe to say that the Democrat Party is trying to destroy this county as founded and existed until the Democrat Party began to change in the last century.

As the Democrat Party of the past was infiltrated by the left and adopted the socialist agenda, the enemy is now openly within our walls of government and the institutions of our country to the level where we are in grave danger of losing the last bastion of freedom.

Listen to my related podcast on this subject.

A Matter of Liberty

Posted on by

In 1776 Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, when speaking of our rights as mankind, the following immortal line, “…they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness…”  Today I’m going to focus on the word liberty.  What does it mean, and more importantly perhaps, what does it not mean?

Liberty!

A simple definition is, “The condition of being free from oppressive restriction or control by a government or other power.”  Yet, we are all under government restrictions and control in some way or the other.  Does that mean that the only true liberty is anarchy?  Can government and liberty coexist?

The keyword in the definition of liberty is the word “oppressive.”  What then does the word, “oppressive” mean?  It means, “Exercising power arbitrarily and often unjustly; tyrannical.  Difficult to cope with; causing hardship or depressed spirits.”

Last week’s podcast, and article, was entitled, “The Five Parts of Tyranny in America?”  In that podcast, I looked at the five parts of the definition of tyranny to see how many of those 5 tyranny requirements have been met in America.  Sadly, the answer is all five parts have been met and it’s proper to say we are currently operating under a tyrannical government.  Notice the word “tyrannical” is in the above definition of oppression.

Oppression

Let’s break down the rest of the definition of the word oppression to see if we are currently being oppressed in America.  Is power being exercised arbitrarily?  In other words, determined by chance, whim, or impulse, and not by necessity, reason, or principle.  In many ways, our government is acting arbitrarily.  The obvious example would be our government’s reaction to Covid 19, which isn’t based on science or reason, but rather it is based on the ever-changing opinions of a group of leaders within our government such as Dr. Fauci and supported by people with a political agenda that is steering our country towards socialism.

In the state of New York, a Democrat has proposed a bill that would detain anyone that the governor, or a health official, deems may be a health threat.  Those detained would be placed in detention facilities, which in effect means they would be placed under arrest and lose their freedom.  That is a direct threat against anyone who dares choose for themselves whether a vaccine is worth the risk.  Never mind that I know more people who have died from the vaccine than died from Covid.  Never mind that people who have been vaccinated are still getting Covid and it appears they may also be spreading it.

If you Google when the spike began, the left says it began when the restrictions were lifted.  That is a good example of how the left spins the news and shapes public opinion.  The restrictions were lifted when the vaccine became available.  Before the vaccine Covid cases had been going down, but after the vaccine cases begin to rise.  What changed?  Was it the removal of restrictions, or has the vaccine been spreading the virus?  Since the vaccinated are getting Covid at an alarming rate, I would venture that the vaccinated may well be spreading the virus.  Would the media report that information?  With their track record, the answer is no.

Equal Justice Under the Law?

The mere fact that opposing scientific opinions are being censored is enough of an example of oppression, but there is more.  Are we being oppressed in ways other than Covid 19?  Do we have equal justice under the law?  Nearly all the rioters in Democrat-controlled cities that burned down neighborhoods, looted businesses, and killed people, were set free after arrest and not held accountable for their actions.  All with the blessing of the media who never questioned those unjust actions.  However, the January 6th riot in Washington D.C. was a different story, because those people were considered to be Trump supporters, so many of them remain in jail to this day and there are credible reports of mistreatment for those people, many of whom were arrested for simply being there.  Read this article by Tucker Carlson.

The first part of the definition of oppression, “Exercising power arbitrarily and often unjustly; tyrannical,” has been met.  What about the second part which reads, “Difficult to cope with; causing hardship or depressed spirits.”  What has happened to the suicide rate since the government began oppressing people in the name of public health?  Here is an article that sites the CDC and what they have to say about the subject.

Use your own observations.  People seem to be on edge.  People wearing masks look at those who don’t and think they’re horrible people that don’t care about the health of others.  People without masks look at those with masks and think they’re misguided people who don’t care about liberty.  No matter which side you’re on, masked or unmasked, you don’t like seeing the other when you’re out and about.

Fear Mongering

All this fear has been created and sustained by the news media and the Democrat Party which is using that fear to oppress those who don’t follow the Democrat Party line.  Republicans even participate in this charade of fear!  If you are one of the fearful people, I want you to try something.  It might be hard at first because the Democrats, media, and big tech are censoring information that does not agree with their beliefs.  However, the truth is still out there.  Look for information that contradicts what the left says and find out why I call what is going on now a charade of fear.

Liberty does not cause depression and hardships.  Liberty is not difficult to cope with.  Liberty is not arbitrary because it is based on equal justice and reasoned principles.  Liberty is about being free from government coercion.  Liberty is about being allowed to question the government and even oppose it if it is acting in an oppressive tyrannical way.

“If I lose my health, just like over 99% of Covid patience who have recovered, I can recover my health.  However, if I lose my liberty it is doubtful I will ever recover it!”

What good is health if you surrender your liberties to those who can take your health away?  I love my health and I also love my liberty.  If I lose my health, just like over 99% of Covid patience who have recovered, I can recover my health.  However, if I lose my liberty it is doubtful I will ever recover it!

Eye Opening

In 1917 a people who never really had much freedom lost what little they had and it wasn’t until the 1990’s that they began recovering some of it.  In 1945 the people in the most populous nation on earth lost what little freedoms they had and they’ve not recovered it to this day.  Liberty, once lost may be lost forever.

Liberty is worth defending.  Liberty is worth fighting for.  Liberty is even worth dying for.  Let not your generation be known for losing the freedom millions have died to defend over the last few centuries.  Open your eyes to the truth you see around you, and not the lie being fed to you by the media.

The Difference Between Republicans and Democrats on Race

Posted on by

The Socialist Democrat Media, known as CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post, or anything self-proclaimed as mainstream media has defined anyone who opposes their political agenda as racist.

The Democrats have come up with what they call Critical Race Theory, which declares everyone a racist and that only government intervention can solve the problem.  A lot is said about CRT and there are a lot of good people exposing that horrible tool of the left to bring anyone who doesn’t agree with their agenda under the control of socialism until they either do agree or until they can force people to do as they’re told.

Since so many others are doing it, I’m not going to be talking about CRT today.  Instead, I’m going to let you know what conservatives really believe when it comes to race, instead of what the globalist socialists through their media and Hollywood, tell you we believe.

Foundation of Belief

As a conservative Christian who is registered as a Republican, I believe man and woman were created by God.  That includes all people with different traits that we know as the 3 different races commonly known as white, black, and Asian.  Jesus Christ died for everyone, white, black, and Asian.  God loves the entire human race, white, black, and Asian.  As Christians, we’re supposed to be Christ-like.  That means we are to love everyone regardless of their race, white, black, and Asian.

The Democrat Party either denies God or the power of God (Where’s the Party?), therefore, they base their beliefs on… what?  There is no foundation because they do what is right in their own eyes.  They are based on whatever they choose to believe.

Democrats Admit They’re Racists

Democrats are pushing this Critical Race Theory, which states that everyone is a racist, even if they claim otherwise.Revolutionary Insights  Therefore, by their own definition, Democrats are admitted racist even if they deny it.  Those admitted racists say only they can solve the problem of racism.  That’s like a kleptomaniac saying only he can stop people from stealing.  When an honest person who doesn’t steal says, I’m not a thief, the kleptomaniac says everyone is a thief, while he stuffs valuables into his pocket because that’s what a kleptomaniac does.

 

Republicans believe that a person should be judged based on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.  You know, just like Martin Luther King, Jr. said.  Maybe that’s why it was the Republicans that gave blacks the right to vote.  Maybe that’s why the first black Republican was elected to the Senate in 1871, while the first black Democrat to the Senate was elected in 1999.  The first 22 blacks elected to the House of Representatives were all Republicans.

Flipping the Script and Cutting Checks

So why is it that blacks vote Democrat, for the very people that denied them freedom and continue to keep them subject to a new master – government?  And it’s not just blacks that have been duped by the Democrat Party, but it’s whites also.  All in the name of helping the poor (Podcast – Are Democrats for the Poor and Republicans for the Rich?).  Here’s how the Democrats, the media, and now the globalist socialist, have enslaved black people to the government.  They said you are oppressed and if you vote for us we will give you the help, through the government, to overcome that oppression.  They then blamed the Republicans for oppressing the blacks when it was the Republicans that gave them their freedom and the right to vote, over the objections of the Democrats!

The Democrats were the oppressors, but once they realized that by giving government handouts they could buy votes, the Democrat Party launched the War on Poverty and started cutting checks.

The Republicans were the party of the individual and the American Dream, which said you could be anything you want through hard work and diligence.  The Democrats, on the other hand, said you can’t do it without our help.  Then, black leaders realized that they could take advantage of that cash cow by playing the Democrat game of lies and deceit to enrich themselves while their brothers became lost in the quagmire of government assistance which has caused so many problems for the black community.

When other black leaders come along, like Ben Carson, Larry Elder, and Candace Owens, they are vilified by the Democrats because they’re upsetting that cash cow and giving blacks hope in themselves and not in the government.

Culture and Not Race

The only differences between the races are the same ones that exist within the races – culture.  Matt Damon, the actor, recently expressed surprise for how different oil workers who grew up and lived in Oklahoma were, as compared to where he grew up in Boston.  Same race, different cultures.  He discovered that Trump supporters weren’t all evil people wanting Trump to lead a Nazi dictatorship, as the Democrat Socialist Media constantly inferred.

Revolutionary InsightsThe point is, Republicans, want to judge people based on the content of their character and that we all are created equal, meaning there shouldn’t be any hindrances or advantages given to people based on race.

On the other hand, Democrats want us to judge people based on the color of their skin and to give some races advantages over others through government mandates, which is the very definition of racism.

Have you Been Duped?

All Democrats can do is claim Republicans are racist without any proof or evidence.  On the other hand, Republicans can prove Democrats are racists, even if they hadn’t already admitted it, which they do in their very own Critical Race Theory where it says everyone is a racist!  If you didn’t already know that, maybe you should consider another source of information besides the socialist Democrat media of CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post.

Incidentally, that is where your local paper and news outlets get their information.

We’re not the evil racists that the left, Democrats and the Socialist Media says we are.  If you believe we are, then you’ve been duped.  If you think I’m wrong, then look it up yourself in places you don’t normally get your information.  You’ll discover a whole new world where truth exists and all lives matter.

The Coming Civil War? The Constitution

Posted on by

The Constitution of the United States is apparently a revered historical document that is nearly held as sacred.  At least it would appear that way if all we did was listen to words and ignored actions.  Both Republicans and Democrats say they revere the constitution, but does that reverence include defending the constitution?  If a person, or party, is not willing to defend what they say they hold in high esteem, then it’s safe to conclude they don’t give it much value.

There are some people that talk a big game, but in the end, do the opposite of what they say.  I once attended a church where the pastor insisted I be a deacon.  After a few years, I relented because he said he needed someone on the deacon board who wasn’t afraid to do the right thing.  The church had an employee that we both agreed needed to be fired, so he asked me to make the motion and then he would back me if the other deacons objected.  I made the motion and then he joined the other deacons in attacking me for having the audacity for even entertaining such a thought.

Revolutionary InsightsThe pastor had said he believed the employee was hurting the church and that as stewards of God’s money, we needed to let the offending employee go.  However, when it came time to actually defend the church and use God’s money wisely, the pastor feared upsetting people in the church to the point they might leave.  In other words, he cared more for what people thought than what God thought.  He cared more about keeping people giving to the church than he did in spending the money of the church wisely.

In my opinion, that pastor was a coward, but not a wolf in sheep’s clothing.  What do we do when we encounter a real wolf in sheep’s clothing?  That is a person who says all the right things, but has as their goal the destruction of the church?  I’m not talking about a Christian who sins, since we all continue to sin because of our sinful nature.  I’m talking about the non-believer who comes into the church simply to cause problems because they don’t really believe in God or his church.

God tells us to beware of such people.  The Bible tells us we will know such people by their fruits.  In other words, what are the results of their actions?

Let’s apply this principle to the constitution as it applies to the political parties.  Both parties say the right thing, so let’s look at their fruit or actions.

The constitution is a very conservative document that limits the power of government.  Therefore, let’s look to see which party stands for limited government and which calls for government expansion?  Honestly, both parties fail too often to keep the power of government limited, but one party actually practices government expansion as a policy.  The party which supports government expansion, because they believe the government is the highest power, is the Democrat Party.Revolutionary Insights

Generally, Republicans believe in God and individual rights.  Meaning, the highest power known to man is God.  The Declaration of Independence says the following, “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed,…”

Can a political party that denies God, or at least his power, truly believe that our rights come from God?  If they don’t believe in God, or his power, then our rights cannot then come from God.  If our rights do not come from God, then where do they come from?

If a party believes the government is the highest power known to man, then rights come from the government, and therefore, the government can take those rights away.  If the governed consents to the loss of liberty, then our God-given rights are taken away.  However, the Declaration of Independence says our rights come from God.  That means neither the government nor the people, can consent to have those rights taken away.  The Declaration goes on to say that if the government were to try to take away our rights, then we have the right to overthrow that government.

The rights I am speaking of are defined in both the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights.

Let’s take a look at how some of our rights are currently being attacked and who is attacking those rights.  The First Amendment protects political speech.  The Democrat Party is currently censoring political speech they disagree with through big tech companies like Facebook and Twitter who have aligned themselves with the Democrats.

There are numerous examples of how they are censoring political speech, but the best example is what they have done to the former President of the United States who they have banned from their sites.  If they can justify banning the political speech of the former President, no matter how you feel about him, do they have the power to ban your speech?  Have the Democrats cried out he be reinstated, or do they support Big Tech?  They are in favor of banning free speech, including anyone who disagrees with their fact-checkers.

Those are the same fact-checkers that banned doctors and others, including political opponents of the left, that said Hydroxychloroquine was an effective treatment for Covid-19.  President Trump said it was effective and their hatred of Trump and his policies caused them to take the opposite tact on everything he said.  As a result, thousands of people died who could have been saved by the drug the Democrats censored.

Which party defends the second amendment?  Without the second amendment, there is no first amendment.  The purpose of the second amendment is to ensure the people can protect themselves from government, should it ever reach that point.

For years the Democrats have been attacking the second amendment through gun control legislation and the illogical belief that guns are responsible for the action of their owners.  How can Democrats say they support your God-given right to self-defense when in the same breath they are openly attempting to take away your ability to defend yourself?!

Which party supports judges that broadly interpret the constitution and which supports judges that understand that the constitution limits the power of government?  It is common knowledge that the Democrats support judges that believe in a broad interpretation of the constitution while Republicans support judges that believe in a strict interpretation of the constitution.

For example, wherein the constitution do you find the phrase, “Separation of Church and State?”  Democrats use that phrase, which isn’t in the constitution, to justify limiting the freedom of speech of Christians through the threat of losing their tax-exempt status or implying that religion is not to influence government.Revolutionary Insights The Coming Storm

The right to privacy is nowhere to be found in the constitution, but Democrats use that constitutionally non-existent language to justify the murder of millions of unborn babies.

When the Supreme Court declared Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs to be unconstitutional, he simply threatened to expand the number of justices on the court by adding enough new judges that believed in expanding the power of government.

Today, the Democrat Party is making that same threat because, in their view, too many of the justices believe government power is limited by the constitution.  Therefore, they are threatening to “pack the court” with like-minded judges who have a broad interpretation of the constitution.

Finally, and most telling, Which party would gain if our constitution was scrapped and replaced by another that allowed for the massive increase of government power?  This kind of government power is commonly known as socialism.  Since the Democrat Party has finally come out of the closet and embraced socialism, then they would gain from the destruction of the constitution.  After all, socialism and the constitution are not compatible.

The Democrat goal is globalist in nature because they believe our future hinges on world cooperation and that only government can solve problems on a global scale.  Since government solves problems, then the power of government must be expanded in order for the leaders of government to have a sufficient amount of power to force people who oppose globalism to submit to the ultimate authority of government.

If that means the constitution must be scrapped to make way for a new world order where America becomes subservient to a government on a global scale then so be it.  Why else do you think the Democrats were so offended by the term, “America First”?  In reality, when it comes to the Constitution of the United States, the Democrats are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

 

The Coming Civil War?

Posted on by

Some people say that they sense another civil war coming on in America.  Could it really happen?  How far can patriotic Americans be pushed until they push back?  How great is the divide between Democrats and Republicans?  Are we headed toward a second American Revolution where instead of fighting to gain liberty, we are fighting to retain liberty?

Since the founding of this nation, we have been a two-party system with the occasional third party that has come along with what is usually a popular issue that isn’t being addressed by either party.  If you listen to the political parties and the media, no matter when in history that we weren’t fighting a common enemy, one would think the union was about to dissolve.

It almost did in the 1860s when the divisive issue was state’s rights as magnified by the slavery issue.  A war was fought and after 4 years the union was preserved through force of arms.  Some people say that another war is brewing in America and that’s it’s not too far off.  However, this time the issue is preserving liberties guaranteed in the Constitution, including the very freedoms this country was founded upon.Revolutionary Insights

God has given me certain gifts, but the gift of prophecy, seeing the future, is not one of them.  However, I do have the power of observation and years of practice seeing historical patterns that then can lead to an educated guess on what may be coming around the corner.

Political Parties

Therefore, let’s look at this one issue at a time and see what we can figure out.  We’ll begin with the state of the political parties.  As I mentioned above, our political parties have been battling it out ever since Jefferson and Hamilton, in Washington’s cabinet, disagreed with the other on certain issues.

Those days weren’t all about division, though.  Both parties had the same Biblical Worldview until the progressive movement began in the 1880s when progressives began to change the Biblical Worldview into a Humanistic one.  That Humanistic philosophy found a home in the Democrat Party, while the Republican Party has stayed true to the Biblical Worldview.

The change was at the first an economic one, as the Democrats began favoring the economics of socialism and the Republicans continued to espouse the economics of capitalism.  The New Deal is a great example of Democrat socialist economic thought.  (Incidentally, the New Deal didn’t get us out of the Great Depression, WWII did.)

Revolutionary Insights

April 8, 1966

In the 1960s the Democrats shifted their focus to include opposition to biblical morality to be replaced with situational ethics.  That’s when drugs began invading, first-our campuses and then our homes.  The sexual revolution was glorified and headlines began to read, “God is Dead.”

Foreign policy differences are just as stark.  America’s enemy at the time was the Soviet Union.  Democrats seemed to fear America as much as they did the USSR.  The chant from the left was “Better Red than Dead.”  Meaning, better to be a communist and alive than a patriot and dead.  The foreign policy of the Democrats, which was also favored by the media, was known by the acronym  M.A.D. or Mutually Assured Destruction.  If anyone recalls, that was the premise of the 80’s movie, “War Games” with Matthew Broderick.

Republican foreign policy was “Peace through Strength,” in the words of Ronald Reagan.  It was that policy that led directly to the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.  The Republicans under Reagan built up the military, which forced the USSR to try and keep pace, but the Republicans had an unfair advantage over the Soviet Union – capitalism. Soviet socialist policies could not keep pace with America’s capitalist policies and the people behind the Iron Curtain were yearning for freedom.  That combination led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War.

A New Enemy

Our two political parties no longer had a common enemy, and just as the Democrats were just as afraid of America during the Cold War, now that we had won their fear of their own country remained.  They had to find a new enemy and they found that new enemy in the Republican Party which still held to, in their opinion, the wrong economic system (capitalism) and the wrong morality (Biblical).

The focus of the Democrat Party was then turned inward to fight the evils, as they saw them, at home.  When the terrorist attacked, Democrat leadership blamed America.  You may recall Obama going on his World Apology tour where he told world leaders America was the problem and he would change that.

Then along came Trump and said, “America First.”  The Democrats’ hatred for Trump was unlike anything we have ever seen before.  Their contempt for a man who put America first held to traditional values and personified capitalism was more than they could take.  Therefore, they had to get rid of him however they could.  They tried the Russia hoax but failed because it was a, well, a hoax.  They tried the Ukraine phone call but failed because their own Vice-President at the time had actually done what they accused Trump of doing.

They then had to make sure he was not reelected, but that would be difficult to pull off since he was so popular with American’s unaffected by the power of the media, which was most of them.  Therefore, they rigged the election, and ever since then, they’ve been fighting like mad to prevent investigations and recounts.  However, we have the evidence.

Their enemy is not socialist, they are socialist!  Their enemy is not radical Islam, they believe America created radical Islam due to our pro-Israel stance, which is rooted in our Biblical heritage, which they consider evil.  The enemy is not China, after all, China is a socialist country.

To the Democrats, the enemy is much closer to home.  The great enemy of the Democrat Party is the Republican Party, and in particular, conservative Christians who follow God’s Word and who love their country.  Since the Democrat Party believes Republican conservatives are their biggest enemy, would they resort to violence to get their way?  The answer to that is an obvious yes as evidenced by the riots and their own rhetoric.

Are the differences in the political parties enough to lead to a future civil war?  The evidence would suggest yes.

Next week we’ll look at the issue of the Constitution, followed by its first ten amendments known as the Bill of Rights.

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 Fall of Lucifer and America

Posted on by

When the angel Lucifer first sinned and God kicked him out of heaven, was he the evil devil who promotes horrible sins such as murder, rape, child molestations, and all the horrors that sin has ravaged upon the human race?  Would Lucifer have been horrified if God had shown him the evil he was going to become?

Lucifer was a created being.  We know those beings as angels.  This is what God tells us about Lucifer in Ezekiel 28:15, “15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.”  Lucifer was perfect because he was innocent, as a child is innocent until he reaches the age of accountability.  God did not create us as robots to do his bidding blindly.  He created all of us, angels and humans, with the free will to make a choice on whether to accept or reject God.

Angels were created to serve in heaven, but they were to have a choice just as humans, have a choice.  God described Satan as beautiful and full of wisdom.  Yet that beauty and his greatness among the angels gave him pride as it says in Isaiah chapter 14:13-14, “13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:  14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”

From that beginning, Satan began conspiring against God to overthrow him and take his place on the throne of heaven.  God did not immediately cast Satan out of heaven though.  Satan had time to organize and gather followers from among the other angels who then made their choice, as Lucifer had done, to reject God.  Satan made merchandise of the other angels, or in other words, he used them for his own ends and purposes.  As a result, there was a war in heaven (Rev. 12:7) and God cast Satan and the fallen angels out of heaven to earth.

Satan uses the same techniques on earth as he used in heaven.  He makes merchandise of people for his own ends and purposes.  He is still at war with God and as far as he’s concerned he is going to take as many humans as possible with him, just as he took a third of the angels with him from heaven.  His first task on earth was to turn all humans against God, but God had Noah and Satan failed.  He next tried to unite the world against God through Nimrod, but God once again foiled Satan.  He then tried to destroy God’s people by destroying the nation of Israel, but once again Satan failed.  Satan’s idea was to prevent the redemption of humans by destroying us before God could save us.

Then God sends the Messiah and now Satan’s task is to kill him before God can set up his kingdom.  He thought he had won when Jesus, the Messiah, was put to death on the cross.  However, Satan failed to realize that was God’s plan all along.  Next, Satan has to try to destroy the Church or people of God who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.  Many martyrs died, but God’s people were not destroyed.

God reveals to us what is going to happen at the end of the Church Age, right before he sets up his kingdom, as Satan thought he was going to do at the first coming of the Messiah.  There will be a falling away from the things of God where people declare good evil and evil good.  Satan once again will attempt to unite the world, but now he has his own “Messiah” planned who will once and for all destroy God’s people, both Jew and Christian.

Where there used to be many Christian nations that held to the Godly values of right and wrong, now there is only one, and it’s tottering on its foundation known as the Constitution.  That nation is the United State of America and we have people in our midst determined to destroy the foundation of this nation, because once this last nation is destroyed, then Satan can unite the world against God through his own “messiah,” which we Christians know as the anti-christ.

The effort to destroy America began in earnest in the 1880s with the rise of Fabian socialism which became known as progressivism in this country.  The plan was to convert America from a Biblical worldview to a humanistic worldview.  They began with teacher colleges and textbook publishers.  They then moved to alter the constitution by taking out the safeguards against a big socialistic government, which they accomplished through amendments, but especially the 17th amendment when Senators would be elected by popular vote instead of by state legislatures which protected the states from federal government interference.

All this time the goal has been to convert America from a Biblical worldview to a humanist one.  This goal was never intended to be accomplished overnight.  The battle is still being fought and Christianity has lost a tremendous amount of ground in the fight.  So much so that we are currently witnessing an entire  American political party call good evil and evil good.  As this has happened look at the consequences of calling sin good.  We now kill babies as a nation.  Sex trafficking is running rampant and it appears that many high-ranking people participate and are being allowed to get away with their crimes.  Our children are being further injured by causing them to question even their gender, which is leading to suicide and greater problems down the road mentally for these misguided children.

Did early progressive presidents like William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson forsee this moral collapse when they were advocating progressive reforms in America?  What about progressives in Hollywood in the ’30s and ’40s?  Did they foresee a movie industry that would promote homosexuality, abortion, the exploitation of children, and extreme violence where evil triumphs over good?

My guess is that many of the early progressives would be appalled to know the depths this nation has sunk to.  If Satan had known the consequences of his rebellion against God, would he still have rebelled?  If the old-time progressives had seen the consequences of their actions, would they have rebelled against the Biblical Worldview under which America used to operate?

These people have been made merchandise by Satan as he made merchandise of the angels.  They have rejected God and Satan has used them to fight against God, meaning they must take the opposite tact away from God.  The opposite of God is evil, and so to justify their evil they call it good to ease their own consciences until God gives them up to a reprobate mind.

Romans Chapter 1:20-32 seems to be a history of the progressive movement in America from God’s point of view.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

(They grew up in an America with a Biblical Worldview and they knew a great deal about God, the Bible, and right and wrong, as a result.)

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

(They knew of God, but they didn’t know God, and as result, they rejected God and the Biblical Worldview.)

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

(Their pride, like Satan’s pride, began leading them down a path of destruction and the nation they were to lead.)

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

(They accepted the theory of evolution and rejected the creation of God, making them fear for the future of our planet and accept notions that climate change is man-made.)

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

(All this rejection of the things God included in his mandates against sin began to be openly embraced, which has led to other perversions of sex and gender.)

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

(By rejecting God they set up man as the highest being and that, by default, makes government the greatest power available to men where they go for answers for how to solve the problems of humanity, when it’s that very rejection which causes the problems in the first place.)

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

(The Women’s rights movement has led to women killing their own babies in the name of choice and wanting to become men in both mind and body.  Which has led to confusion as to what it means to be a woman as God created the woman.)

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

(Men openly engage in homosexuality and other sexual perversions that have led to confusion as to what it really means to be a man as God made us.)

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

(Because people have chosen to reject God and his morals, God has seared their conscience so that they have no internal barometer from which to judge if a path is right or wrong.  Therefore, the next three verses describe what happens to those that reject God and refuse to be guided by his morality.)

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

(Do the above three verses sound like modern America?)

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

(America has become so far gone, that those who have rejected God and his morality now rejoice and vote for the people leading them down into the pit of destruction and they cheer as they descend into that pit.)

Thankfully, there’s still a choice in America and we still have something to fight for.  As American citizens, we need to fight for our country by assuring the Republican Party continues to be based on the Judeo-Christian ethic.  We then need to politically fight the Democrat Party which operates under the humanistic philosophy.

As Christians, we need to fight with love by offering an alternative to the world and world solutions.  We need to be different.  We need to have the peace which surpasses all understanding.  The world seeks peace, but peace is not found in the world. Peace is found in God.  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.”

John 10:10 explains the difference between Satan and God. ” The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”  Who do you choose to follow?

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 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.
