All left wing movements result in violence. The solution is a wall of lead between you and the left wing mobs.
Do unto others as ye would have them do unto you.
We do what we've always done - what we're doing now.
We hide behind the sofa and cringe in horror, and poke our noses out saying things like "I'm sorry, please like me, I won't say anything anymore".
We are a nation of herbivores, and are completely paralyzed when the fecal-flinging monkeys of the Left start screaming.
IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME.
I wonder if bible believe Christians will create relatively closed communities perhaps similar the Hasdic Orthodox Jews etc. These communities actively and mutually support their members by patronizing each other’s businesses, employment, recreation, living nearby, and participating in local government.
In the past, Christians were valued in society, business and government. Now, they are scorned in those arenas. Sometimes the best evangelism is the witness of virtuous living which can often be more easily and overtly exhibited in a supportive community.
A community open to the people of the world but not of it might be a solution. A light in the dark is great, but I feel that the light needs to be rekindled in a supportive community.
I’ve actually seen half of those on other forums. Bigot seems to be their favorite.
And the hangman's noose for the survivors.
You and I could be bookends. I keep shouting out in the wilderness.
Conservatives MUST activate by convening to make plans for push-back. The voting habits of our representatives need to be monitored and circulated so that malfunctioning members of Congress will be recalled. There needs to be large crowds in the streets banging on pots demanding the resignation of any official who passes edicts that are contrary to rule of law or the Constitution. All leaders, right down to corporate and communities must be held accountable. Basically, conservatives need to just as loud and obnoxious as those who are destroying our society.
The problem is, conservatives are too busy, too lazy, and too complacent to get out of the blogging position. They are Sheeple.
If traditional Christians do not make smaller loyal religious communities, they will end up exactly like non-religious Jews outside of Israel, facing certain demographic doom.
I admit up front that I am not religious. So for me, I see this writer’s “solutions” as being far too passive. Not going to work.
IMO, the hate and violence from the left has escalated to the point where serious and sustained push back is necessary. Passive resistance won’t protect us or reverse anything.
By “push back” I don’t mean violence or the same tactics that they use. I mean massive civil disobedience, I mean in your face refusal to comply with illegal laws and regulations. They can only take the liberties that we allow them to take.
For example, these poor bakers in Oregon are one step away from getting jailed. Which is the [guaranteed] next stage of the left’s persecution of Christians and other “non believers”. The government is threatening to take the home, the personal residence and property of Christians as punishment for their religious beliefs. This is not about a cake. This is straightforward subjugation of a religious group; that’s the intent, that’s the goal. They don’t give a damn about a cake. I firmly believe that a sizable segment of the gay marriage left is hoping for the chance to imprison Christians and anyone else that objects. You can make book on it.
You see, they have carefully fabricated the myth that only kooky Christians believe that marriage is man/woman. Not so. But it enables them to single out a group for persecution. When that is successful, other groups in society will follow. A tried and true tactic. The Nazis used it, the communists have used it many times. Face it, the left in this country is not liberal. They are at the least socialists, but really they are closer to communists.
I think we misapply Jesus’ words about interpersonal relationships when we try to force them onto governments. Jesus was clear that we give Caesar what’s Caesar’s, but he was also clear that not everything is Caesar’s.
I am from that wing of Christianity that believed in fighting the Islamics and prevented the takeover of Europe by finally fighting on the east (Balkans) and on the west (Spain).
I firmly believe that governmental action against other governments is not bound by interpersonal standards. IOW, it is a small jump to applying this at a societal level. If my neighbor and I have a beef, then I treat him with Christian principles, but if a cartel gang attacks my house, then fight back. The same with any ‘group’ action against me and mine.
Fight back.
Luke 22: 36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.” 38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” he replied.
I wonder if bible believe Christians will create relatively closed communities
I think this is the future. salt of the earth sometimes needs to sit in jars.
Indeed.
But we are past the event horizon. The Alinsky tactic of “make your enemy live up to his own book of rules” is incredibly effective against mainstream Christians - “Your Bible says this, if you don’t believe ALL of it, you’re a hypocrite!”
Name-calling and bullying works every time it’s tried. Shutting down debate is more successful than all other Leftist tactics combined.
Christians are herbivores. The fighting spirit has been bred out of them, and the Left knows it. There are no Draculas, no Hunyadis, no one who will lead Christians to stand against the oncoming hordes.
And there will be none, until Christ Himself returns. And you and I will not live to see it.
Bigot: “a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion”
I’m an anti-nazi bigot.
I’m an anti-communism bigot.
I’m bigoted about pedophilia, adultery, lying under oath and cheating on taxes. I find such behavior repulsive and I don’t want to associate, knowingly, with people who act that way.
I’m also bigoted about a man sticking his penis in another man’s butt so he can deposit semen and calling it “sex” and “love”. It is obviously unnatural and a violation of creation. If someone rejoices in behaving that way, I don’t want to be associated with them.
My response to that is a calm "shut the f___ up". Even had one female moron say "what did you say"? I repeated it even more calmly with a smile on my face. Rely on stealth and then remember always "Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter accusations". There is nothing further to be discussed.
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
Saul Alinsky, Rules For Radicals
“Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter accusations””
That will be my next tag line.
We can ‘do Alinsky’ as well as they.
The real homosexual end game

I’ve seen the most militant and vile in the gay movement are heterosexual women.
