For the previous some odd years, those who follow politics can’t help notice the plethora of comments and accusations used by those on the (political) right to judge those on the (political) left. For instance, there are comments that include pejoratives like: the loony left, left-wing loony, left-wing nut job, left-wing moron, useful idiots, sick leftists, mentally ill left, dangerous progressives, and the like (some of which are not even remotely printable).
We daily hear conversations peppered with words like “nuts”, “crazy”, “insane”, “unbelievable”, and many more such comments. Some openly aver that "Liberalism” (an unfortunately inaccurate misnomer for “leftists” that belies their truly un-American, Marxist, and progressive doctrines) is a mental disorder. Is that just a euphemism or perhaps is it just perfunctory and rhetorical: maybe just a few men’s opinion?
Can it be true that so many people (half the country’s population according to duly recorded voters’ bi-polar [sic] political disparity) could be so deliberately and harshly judged and esteemed as being bereft of a sound mind? Is it so that those being judged are manifestly and rabidly hostile to their own nation, their own heritage, and their own countrymen? Is it actually fathomable that half of our country cannot discern between good and evil and that they, in fact, call “good” evil and “evil” good?!
And, just whose and/or what standard of judgement is being used against these frothing-at-the-mouth-foes of righteousness? Is it an objective universal canon that presumes to apply to all men equally or is it a subjective cultural phenomenon (which would actually be a cultural failure if the first instance is true)?
Let’s start with some obvious anchors
Let’s start with some obvious anchors. This is necessary because we are going to see a dynamic where leftists/Democrats/Democratic Socialists/Marxists/Communists/Progressives depart from these anchors and continue with their short and long-term agendas to destroy America.
First is the constraint of the U.S. Constitution. It’s the “law of the land”. The interesting thing about laws is that they are rules that are not subject to negotiation. They are absolutes representing the bottom-line objective truth of any matter. They are the instruments by which peace is maintained for, without obedience to rules/laws/standards, there can be no civilized society and there can be no peace, therefore.
The U.S. Constitution was established by men who understood that it would not be a functional instrument without both compliance but also a certain people who were determined to make it work. In other words, a moral and righteous people who had the wisdom, understanding, and common sense to make it function as envisioned by its creators. It was, and is, the only document ever created that allowed for self-governance that implemented a very strictly limited leadership.
This leads us to the next anchor and that is “the Rock”, Himself. This Rock is also an absolute. He is the absolute bottom-line truth and there is no other truth but Him and His word (He is also “The Word”). He not only has the truth but He is the truth. If there is no bottom-line truth, then there is lawlessness and the U.S. Constitution (or any other laws, for that matter) are rendered irrelevant. It is impossible to dwell safely and be quiet from the fear of evil in such an environment.
Without controversy (and regardless of the gainsaying and whining of the left-wing haters of all that is Godly and good to the contrary), this nation was founded upon Christian principles. Our history is replete with examples of this fact that range from our highest leaders to the everyday citizens who built it. It takes extraordinary effort to deny this fact. Make note, therefore, that the left does, indeed, take extraordinary effort to deny this long-established and irrefutable fact.
To circumvent these inviolate and weighty principles, an entirely new vocabulary and narrative was constructed and which is strictly adhered to. They have words like “racist” which mean one thing to the right and another to the left. If you don’t agree with their definitions, you are racist. Their definition of “good” is “evil”. Their definition of “evil” is “good” all the while actually believing that they are without guilt and blame of any kind. It is a narrative that disallows mutual agreement which resolutely disallows peace. It takes not effort to notice that their “vocabulary manipulations” are in force every day that they are alive. “Doublespeak” is a mainstay.
The reason for this is simple. In their philosophy, there is neither good nor evil (without my trying to flood the place with philosophy, read Nietzsche’s thoughts). There is no right or wrong (ditto). Some call that “situational ethics” while those on the right vehemently disagree with such philosophy.
It’s a relative morality which has no account for absolutes because there is no God who is absolute.
It’s a relative morality which has no account for absolutes because there is no God who is absolute. Note that, if there are no absolutes, then there can be no absolute truth. If there is no absolute truth, there is no God because He is “the truth, the way, and the life”. In other words, they do not believe there is a God.
It’s the perfect doctrine and philosophy for those who deny/hate God, truth, justice, equality, and law (which is an absolute). It allows them to use whatever means and deception to force their un-American ideology on others (no one forfeits their freedom and marches into socialist slavery and tyranny on purpose). “Slavery is freedom” is their motto (Orwell was right).
They also rely upon partial definitions which hide all parts of their political agenda. They have a desire for America to become a one-world socialist cesspool of poverty and misery (poor, ignorant, and uneducated people are easier to rule over). So, they decry and gainsay any opponents for resisting their evil by accusing them of not caring for the poor and needy and the “haves” must “spread the wealth” with the “have nots” (and by force if necessary):
“The difference between communism and socialism is that under socialism central planning ends with a gun in your face, whereas under communism central planning begins with a gun in your face” - Kevin D. Williamson, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Socialism
Without controversy, the Democratic Party is (very openly) the “National Socialist Democratic American Worker’s Party” who hide behind the label “Democrat” under the guise of being the party of the working class and poor. It’s just another blatant deception.
In case you missed the undisguised reference here, there is no difference between the “National Socialist American Workers Party and the “National Socialist German Workers' Party” (“Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei”). The goals and (violent) agenda (i.e. “progress is made in the struggle//fight”) are one and the same (noting that Hitler was both a socialist and a fascist in the form and fashion of Mussolini[1]).
They even have the same “Sturmabteilung” (literally “storm division”) to do their dirty work. The left call them “AntiFa” which are labeled as “anti-fascists” while actually being violent fascist “enforcers” of the agenda. Likewise, BLM (“Black Lives Matter”) falls neatly into the “Sturmabteilung” category. They accuse the political right of being fascists while they, themselves, are devout fascists.
The dichotomy and hypocrisy is far from lost on those who are paying attention. We need only to observe the year that the left embraced, encouraged (by Kamala Harris on national television, no less), protected, and even praised the terrorism, burning, looting, rioting, and other despicable acts perpetrated by their “Sturmabteilung” while the nation reeled in horror. Obviously, there are two sets of rules/laws and also a fervent penchant for lawlessness. Shameless hypocrisy is the norm.
The same applies with their concept of racism. The Democratic Party are racists to the core who delight in reverse discrimination to justify their lawlessness racist actions so as to implement their agenda. They use the same partial definitions and labels that hide their own racism while accusing others.
This is actually a diagnosable issue.
It’s called “projection” which is the dynamic of
accusing others of what you are doing.
This is actually a diagnosable issue. It’s called “projection” which is the dynamic of accusing others of what you are doing.
For instance, when the right insists on equality being meritorious and earned, they are called “racist” because so many other non-whites are not included (according to leftist doctrine). The facts of the matter (like sacrificing, hard work, diligence, and delayed gratification) are considered irrelevant. It is demanded by the left that, those who don’t pay the price for success, must be included among the “privileged class”. It’s another part of “spread the largess” agenda while denigrating anyone who disagrees.
On the other hand, the left will institute “equality” legislation which ends up being reverse discrimination which is, not only unacknowledged, it is actually denied and, by law, it is demanded. This is why there is can be no negotiation.
For one thing, their agenda doesn’t allow for negotiation or anything other than the smallest compromises that can easily and quickly be recouped in the tactical sense. They have no desire for peace because, “progress is made in the struggle”. If they aren’t fighting and at war, then they aren’t making progress. That’s why everything is a “war” in America (“The War on Drugs”, “The War on Poverty”, “The War for Equality”, et. al.).
When we examine the situation between Israel and Palestine, we see the exact dynamic.
When we examine the situation between Israel and Palestine, we see the exact dynamic. The Palestinians have an agenda that they will not compromise with. The agenda is a simple one: death to all Jews and the eradication of Israel as a nation.[2] It’s called “genocide”. It’s quite fine to demand the eradication of the Jews and their nation but not fine if Hamas terrorists are killed. Because of the collateral casualties, the act of killing terrorists is considered “genocide” by the Palestinians. The fact that the Palestinians attacked Israel is not considered a factor because it was a necessary act to complete their centuries-long genocidal agenda.
This means that there can be no negotiation and, without negotiation and a desire for peace, there can be no peace. It’s quite irrational and is a paradoxical conundrum that feeds on itself.
Because it’s of the same “spirit of error”, it’s the identical tactic and agenda the left uses to destroy America. Compromise is unacceptable and every deception and tool is used (and justified) to protect themselves from being exposed by the truth and hypocrisy is a mainstay. It’s “death to America” to make way for a socialist dictatorship and then, ultimately, a new one-world order. The truth must be killed at all cost
Having said these things, let’s further include the spiritual aspect of the matter. There are only two spirits in the world. One is the “Spirit of Truth” which is the Spirit of God. The other is the “spirit of error” (1John 4:6) which is the converse and which is of the darkness of this world which is ruled over by the “Prince of Darkness”. Therefore, we can say this: there is either the love of the truth and for righteousness or a love of error and darkness and for every imaginable evil and unrighteousness. Note that you can’t have both because no man can love two masters.
We can also say: there is either a love for lawfulness and peace or there is a love for lawlessness and un-peacefulness. There is a love for life and the preservation of life or there is a love for killing, stealing, and destroying and a complete disregard for life/lives.
What we must account for is the reason why it must be this way. In darkness, there is no light. This is to say, there is no God because God is light. And, God is love. Love doesn’t kill, steal, and destroy. Rather, it builds up and heals and restores. God has given us His Spirit and it isn’t the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a “sound mind”:
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2Ti 1:7)
Believers see all things through a logical and sound mind. That which appears rational to those in the world (who have rejected “the truth”) appears as inane and even insane to them. Those who are not saved from this world will still love it and the things in it. They will love their own and embrace darkness. They are implacable and think that “good” is evil and they give diligence to destroy it. They call “evil” good and revel in it. They are of an unsound mind, not having the Spirit of the Lord.
There is yet another dynamic
that involves God with this matter.
There is yet another dynamic that involves God with this matter. The left has rejected the love of the truth. They have no love for Christ, who is “THE TRUTH”. They have rejected God’s love, God’s word, God’s mercy, and all Godliness (i.e. they have rejected Christ who is all of these things). Rather, they have embraced evil and all darkness and carnality; they have embraced and had pleasure in all un-truthfulness and unrighteousness; they have embraced “the lie” of darkness. They are of their father, the Devil and they embrace all of his ways.
Here is what God has to say about it:
• “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2Th 2:8-12)
Lest there be any squabble about “interpretation of scripture”, let us note that God is speaking and He is quite clear. No interpretation is needed or required for this passage.
It is imperative that we understand that we are not in the “end times”; we are in the “end-of-the-end-times”. This means that, because of His mercy that endures forever and His longsuffering toward men, God has given all men opportunities to forsake darkness and come to Christ in this hour.
Knowing this, we must also note again that Christ is “THE TRUTH” and that the left has rejected Him. When you reject “THE TRUTH”, you have rejected all truth and the truth is not in you. Therefore, your life is one of lies and lying and you are “anti-Christ” unto your death. The result is that the choice has been made and the Lord has sealed that choice in those who have rejected all truth.
Because of the rejection of truth, God has rejected them and has given them “strong delusion” (2Thess 2:11). What is delusion?:
From “Simply Psychology”:
“Delusions in psychology are beliefs that persist despite evidence to the contrary”
This means that there is nothing that can discourage them or dissuade them from their agenda of lies or their lifestyle of un-Godliness. They will be deceived and will follow the Anti-Christ” unto perdition and never know that he is not their savior but that he is their destruction.
Delusional people cannot be convinced they're wrong
And, it means even more than that. It means that you cannot break or countermand the delusion. Delusional people cannot be convinced that they are wrong (noting that “the way of a man is right in his own eyes”). They cannot be reckoned with; they cannot be reasoned with on any level. In fact, they think that is the believer’s (i.e. the “truthers”) who are delusional!
An example: not long ago a local friend stopped by for a visit. He is quite the successful and intellectual gentleman who is a staunch socialist, hard-core leftist, progressive, and is proud that he is. He understands that I don’t strive with him and his politics but that I accept him as he is. So, he feels free to express himself and he does just that.
Our conversation about why those on the right are the way they are (i.e. why they don’t’ line up with those on the left) led him to share the “revelation” that he had about them. “They’re delusional!”, he stated with a large smug grin. Those who call the sane, ‘insane”, are those who call “evil” good and “good” evil.
Because of this dynamic of their being irreversibly implacable, they cannot be reasoned with. Real history and irrefutable truth is anathema to leftists. Therefore, don’t reason or argue with them because any attempt to do so will be in vain. Resist any and all temptation to “straighten them out”. Just don’t do it; it is a waste of time.
We can now, very correctly and incontrovertibly, conclude that they (the Democrats/leftist/socialists/communists/progressives/fascists) are, indeed, of an unsound mind. They do not have the “Spirit of Truth” abiding in them and they are, therefore, liars and deceivers; they are delusional and no mountain of facts and evidence are allowed to interfere with their narratives.
There is an extremely important epilog here. It is that we must not fret and worry about this matter. We must not “take thought” for it at all. We must obey scripture and cast the care/burden of this insanity over onto the Lord and He will sustain us. It cannot be dealt with in the “natural”. In other words, we are to do all that we can to remain in peace and to not strive with the matter in our hearts and minds or to strive with men. As much as possible, we are to live in peace with all men.[3] Where peace is, God is. Where God is, blessings, wisdom, grace, peace, and strength abound.
God has a plan and it’s working
God has a plan and it’s working. Our “job” is to simply remain in peace and be obedient to Christ’s commandments (not Moses’ Commandments) as we are led of His Spirit. If we do these things, we will be protected and will be found in the “strong tower” and safe from all harm. The Psalmist makes a sure statement:
• “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling” (Ps 91:7-10)
We must always remember to obey the commandment, “The just shall live by faith”. It is incumbent upon us to protect our faith at all cost. It is a shield and part of the “full armor of God” that will protect us from all things. It is what is required to stand in these last days:
• “Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (Eph 6:13)
“Fear not” is the commandment we hear repeatedly in the Bible. In these times, it is even more relevant. We must stand strong in the Lord and in the power of His might and not be moved or swayed by the evil that abounds and even surrounds us. We must build up ourselves on our most holy faith, praying without ceasing in the Holy Spirit, and keeping ourselves in the love of God. We must do it His way or we will lose.
