I am mindful of Godwin’s Law and often shy from pressing the logic an argument to the limits for fear of being accused of hyperbole. But there are times it is appropriate to do so. This may be one of them. Orwell was scratching at something in the Two Minute Hate that is all too common in totalitarian systems. The greater the crime, or the bigger the lie, the more important it is to make everyone complicit. This is why the left loves show trials and elaborate public savaging of dissenters. It is symptomatic of bad faith. Those conscious of the lie are often the most vocal in demanding assent. The purpose is indeed as the article suggests: to compromise and demoralize the opposition, isolate truth tellers, and crush any institution that might provide a bulwark against the liars. And we are drifting deep into totalitarian territory, where one will not be allowed to stand aside, or carve out a safe refuge, or retreat to a sane counterculture. The left’s intent is that there will be nowhere to go. You will obey. Or be destroyed.

Don't want to be destroyed, don't want to see my country destroyed by unbelief and immoral behavior. I am a Christian with a ministry to teach the mystery in the Pauline epistles.

American does not want it, we have been reaching out for decades, churches are more interested in the basket and endorsing aberant behavior for the numbers, for the money?

Seriously thinking of going to another nation to preach. Moving there, retiring there most likely central America, the people are simple, happy and God centered.
